Seriously I have never rated them, they were ok, but nothing earth moving or anything
The Beatles did some great stuff, I must admit I love them, but they always did give Ringo the crap nursery rhyme tune (
Cosmo) every album. There are SOME Beatles tunes I can't listen to, even though I would count myself as a fan

If anything I only think that the early Beatles stuff was good. It was the perfect 3min pop songs, it was when they started believing their own shite, that they went down hill, plus the fact McCartney has always been dire.
Loved their early stuff - but maybe that's because it was all "new" at the time...?
With The Beatles was my 1st album and I still listen to it occasionally nowadays.
Norwegian Wood is my favourite Beatles song.
Or Maxwell's Silver Hammer.
I have taste!

I still like Here, There and Everywhere. Nicely melodic in a non nursery rhyme kinda way.

I haven't read the entire thread, but did anyone else see on the BBC news this morning the reporter who went undercover and auditioned? She said that the people that audition go through several researchers and then are chosen to go through to the auditions before the judges. It's obvious that those who are awful are put through just for "entertainment" - like those two sisters who are living in their car.

yep SCD can't touch it
I think it McCartney that annoys me most out of the Beatles and he is the reason I do not rate them. He looks like a wanker, and I cannot take anything thr slack jawed twunt says seriously.
The only thing about him that has made me laugh, is that Heather alleged that he hit her with her wooden leg Although, as Jimmy Carr says that would technically be a kick!

I agree Croc. It seemed a bit too the-ay-tre to me. He'd be good in some production, maybe that's his background, but he's no rock, soul, or even good pop singer.
I'm sure those 2 sisters and their parents were done for benefit fraud after her last tv appearance. I can't believe I dreamt that up.
Of course they sift them first and chuck in some shite for amusement.. shame to think they might actually have to reject some good ones to keep up the shite-quotient

Not news, perhaps, but I found it interesting that acts like the Zepplin Sisters are allowed on to embarrass themselves. Have we not evolved from the Victorian Freak Shows?

he should have tried out for the Joseph thing a couple of years ago....
I love some of the Beatles stuff, but little help from my friends is a pile of shite really.

Anyone read Ben Elton's Chart Throb?

OK, I hold my hands up - I got it wrong.
Here's the story:
Squashed together on the sofa, scoffing crisps and swilling fizzy pop as they sit goggle-eyed in front of the telly... it looks like a scene from The Royle Family.
But this isn't TV, it's real life.
Meet the Chawner clan, who say they're too fat to work but too busy to go on a diet.

Suzi I think the state of Big Brother these days kinda answers that question for you.
Ben Elton is a knob

yeah I have!!
And I reckon its mostly true.
It is all mapped out for some though....A young bloke my sister worked with got through to the top 50 I think it was a couple of years ago...he was not shown once on TV!

No, but I read Dead Famous. Is it along the same lines as that?

No I dont think we have. We like to think we are so much more civilised than the Romans, Victorians were etc.

You've gotta laugh at the way the article was written - whilst restrained for a tabloid, it was a total pisstake.

I gave up on Dead Famous as he'd done it before only better with 'Popcorn'. Chart Throb is interesting tho, it made me think about all the behind the scenes plotting that goes on.

I'd never read anything by him before so I quite enjoyed Dead Famous. But as the book went on I could 'hear' Elton and see him in his lurex suit.
I might have to go and dig out Chart Throb; it's been a long time since Ben Elton was on my radar.
I didnt think popcorn and dead famous were similar.quote:Originally posted by skive:quote:Originally posted by ~Cosmopolitan~:

I shall have to get chart throb. I do like his books. Gridlock is still my favourite of his.
A bit off topic, but I am watching the vid for Pete andre and listening to his song for the first time....ohhhhhhh it's a bit shit innit?
I loathe Jordan as much as the next person, but am not convinced that Andre is acting with complete dignity in this tawdry episode...

I might give it another go CV. Popcorn was quite ahead of its time in terms of predicting reality TV so I got a bit impatient with Dead Famous.

No that's the one and it was really about the 'effects debate' but the final scenes of allowing TV viewers to choose if there is more violence by inviting them to turn their TVs off to avoid it but the ratings just go up was what I was thinking of.
