Am I the only one who wasnt inspired by tonights performance?

It didnt exactly saw "WOW" to me. There was Neil (sorry but Top Hat, Tee Shirt and Jeans do not go) singing along but same old hand movements and Chris miming to the keyboard!

The dancers look like they had just come from Fatboys "Praise You" promo, and I swear one of the masks was cut straight out of a newspaper.

I thought the neon IM WITH STUPID was tacky and I dunno, it just didnt do it for me.

Brill they showed the political aspect of the song but will Joe Public get it?

Great song, brilliant video - thought it would have been better if Neil wore a Bush mask and Chris was Tony Blair.

Hey, but everyones entitled to their own opinion.

I'm glad i'm not the only one who thought he had earrings in :doh:

I also like the presenter of TOTP's. They usually get any johnny off the street to do it but shes quite good at it.

aww, I like Jo Whiley, she's really sweet! :oops: :)
Jo Whiley sold her soul years ago.

Who cares? This country re-elected Blair last year so I doubt it.

And by the look of her, sold it for a packet of Old Holburn.

Alan, we wouldn't begrudge a Macken of his own opinion.I don't like dancers like the ones on tonight but the masks were quite a good idea.

Nice to see them on TV again.

Didn't expect the vocals to be live, but it sounded great! :clap:

I saw a girl once in my town centre who was wearing a blazer, t-shirt, ripped jeans, converse and yes, a top hat!

It wasn't even one of those daft, joke hats, It was a proper top hat :D

I thought she looked quite cool...

I think one's John Howard and the other may be the ex-Spanish PM.

One was David Cameron, with the other (I think) being Sir Menzies Campbell.

I know what you mean about the masks - it wasn't what you call very professional having what looks like black-and-white-paper-on-cardboard-cut-out masks as part of what is meant to be a polished performance. IMO they should have just stuck to the Blair and Bush plastic masks.

Apart from that, I enjoyed their new look on TOTP.

No, I was wrong. It wasn't Aznar. :roll:

I didn't recognize Cameron without the colour.

Neil was singing live on top of a backing track. Sounded great!
