Probably some z list celebrity totally bereft of any talent, but famous for being..........................famous? ( i'm guessing here)

As I'm sure most red blooded males would, but It doesn't alter the fact that she is probably a z list celebrity who will go the way of all the other winners of "reality" TV shows, straight down the toilet after a year ( if that)

She's better than your average singfest winner - but if she simply knocks out gruesome bombastic sub-Carey power ballads (as Cowell will no doubt insist) she won't be around for too long.


Will Young did good - he made some smart choices for songs and production of said songs and managed to shed the 'talent comp winner' image.

I'm not so sure. She's not quite my cup of tea but she has got talent and some heavyweight backing. The PR machine has started. She'll be big in 2008 and beyond.


But then again I could be wrong.

I am mildly obsessed by her current number one.

Not normally my cup of tea at all cant stand Carey, Houston etc.... but I am fascinated by the slightly dark and almost meaningless lyrics. So meaningless that they sometimes seem quite philosophical.


Either that or I am getting old and the company of small children has made my brain start to dissolve.


and she does give good warble.

Girls Aloud = Pretty, funny, humble, talented and just nice


Are you sure? How about living proof that if you throw enough real(if dubiously employed) talent - songwriters, producers, musicians, choreographers, stylists, PR etc. - at a bunch of decent looking girls who are willing to pole dance with their clothes on, that's enough to bring success in the pop business?

This is what the 'pop business' is - and always has been. I like pop. I enjoy it for what it is and don't confuse it with real, chinstrokey music (which I like as well).

    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
    • Anyone can deliver for Evri - my daughter having just passed her driving test tried Evri to make some money - they basically give you a route and as many parcels as they think you can cope with - you make money for each one you deliver, so you can imagine - speed is the priority. Why would they wait for you to answer the door when they can just throw it and take a photo? If you have a choice, choose a different courier service or shop elsewhere where they do.  
    • Boil - it’s the customer’s fault, not the delivery person’s.
