1996 UK Official Charts Number One Hits SURVIVOR (Round 1 - Vote to EVICT)

[ButterTart]

GET EARTH SONG OUT. The ONLY thing it’s good for is that gif to mark @Rita entering a song to ASFM.

 

[VV]

There's a lot worse there than Earth Song!

 

[lolly]

Earth Song is overblown, pompous and appalling.

 

[straightorbroken]

You are not alone.

 

[VV]

Earth Song is overblown, pompous and appalling.

It's still miles better than Peter Andre or Robson & Jerome.

 

[AGinAg (37)]

It took me a long time to warm to Jesus To A Child, but my goodness, it got there.

Me too. It's one of those songs that you appreciate more in retrospect I think.

 

[lolly]

It's a better song, but I probably dislike it more.

 

[ButterTart]

It's a better song, but I probably dislike it more.

At least those two were just inoffensive and cheap. Earth Song is an abomination.

 

[Madison]

I like Earth Song, but it should be disqualified.

 

[funky]

I hate so many people right now.

 

[ButterTart]

A Different Beat was by far Boyzone’s best song. Damning with faint praise, I know.

 

[Rita]

I hate so many people right now.

Robson or Jerome?

 

[RS]

I love that Gary Barlow song I put it on now and it’s as beautiful as I remember it

 

[Madison]

Why was there a one year gap between Garlow's first two singles/number ones?

I found this on the wiki for Love Won't Wait. Perhaps they just didn't have confidence in what was originally recorded for Open Road?

Barlow came by the demo in 1997, while looking to record more songs for Open Road.

In the meantime, Gary Barlow wanted to release his debut album, Open Road, to coincide with his first single, "Forever Love". However, he wanted to continue recording songs for the album. He came across one of Madonna's demos called "Love Won't Wait" and decided to record it, after shortening the lyrics

Extreme Fisting With Robson Green

 

[lolly]

Extreme Fisting With Robson Green

I'd have gone there in his Casualty days.

 

[lolly]

I mean who am I kidding - I almost certainly still would. He's the same age as Mr L.

 

[funky]

I mean I’d have Jerome if he wore his GoT outfit

 

[lolly]

Never watched Game of Thrones to know, but I think I'd struggle with that nose and chin combo.

 

[funky]

It kind of works when you’re a medieval sword for hire. Looks like he got his nose from someone smacking him with a beer tankard

 

[lolly]

This may mean as much to you as a Game of Thrones reference does to me, but whenever Joan and Jericha mention Mahmoud I always think of Jerome Flynn in profile.

 

[funky]

I don’t know the specific reference but I applaud any reference to Joan and Jericha

 

[funky]

Me and lolly taking this thread off on a TANGENT

 

[lolly]

I think every thread on moopy ultimately ends up with fisting. It's just a question of when.

 

[straightorbroken]

I do have a soft spot for 90s Boyzone. Take That's covers were surprisingly effective too.

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

Some shocking rubbish here and I can think of only one Take That song from that era which I actually like, so 'How Deep Is Your Love' can jolly well suck my cunny

 

[The Unholy Ghost]

I do think that the name 'Take That' would have worked a lot better with an exclamation mark, as in Wham!

The same applies to the Scissor Sisters' limply titled 'Ta-Dah' () albam although for God's sake don't start me on THEM

 

[straightorbroken]

One of the many things Gina G got right!
