It's sad that a G4-Cliff Richard clone is touted as the future of 'pop' music. Those gobshites sit there every week with straight faces and actually praise the fecker. If there is hope, it lies in the proles..... :roll:

He's assured of a part in the English National Opera's re-staging of The Rocky Horror Show for sure.

It reached #15.

But if anyone made the song famous, it was PSB.

The thing is if the Rhydian version was similar to the original or similar to the PSB cover. Anyway, the original version was writting to be performed by Village People.

I remember an interview with Neil and he mentioned how a newspaper gave away a CD of Simon Cowell's Greatest Hits. Neil said something like he wanted one as evidence of Cowell's crimes against music :lol:

Mind you, Neil likes Alcazar and Kylie, so he likes manaufactured pop trash when he wants to be the stereotypical bummer with the tastes of a 10 year old school girl.

there's a difference though between original pop songs.normally written/produced by your Xenomania types, than shite, unimaginative, boring covers of famous songs. Do we really need another version of Unchained Melody?
Still waiting to hear the Adam Freeland, Manhattan Clique and Axwell mixes of Integral.

Xenomania have produced numerous covers for Girls Aloud. And Kylie's "new" single has been around for four years.

but at least their cover versions tend to offer something new - I don't really give that much of a shit about the 'new' Kylie track but even if it isn't a new track again at least it is not that well known
