New entries from No.41-75. See who missed out this time round :
Being Somebody
Happy, happy tune (not) from the ex-Pop Idols who made it.
Franz Ferdinand
I’d rather this had been in the top slot. I know nothing about the band, butit’s a funky tune that’s well worth a listen by anyone from any background,and with an interesting video to boot.
The Meaning of Love
Oh, good god! I thought this kind of thing was all over once Fame Academy’sAlex Parks failed to make the top slot.
Michelle, will you please give it into your tiny face… er, I mean mind, thatthis is not the start of a progressing career in the music industry. It isguaranteed that within a year your subsequent singles will flop, your impendingalbum will not sell outside your own family, and you’ll be back to yourKaraoke Class with your brash stupid voice!
No wonder Pete Waterman got up and stormed off when you were announced as thewinner. It was a fix!
