Old TOTP (BBC4) (3 Viewers)

[Inner Smile]

Watching this again as can't remember much from last night I do think Bring It All Back was a great debut it's a decent pop song

Not really into Word Up by Mel B, can't see the appeal. It's hard to believe Adam Rickitt isn't gay, he must be bi atleast? Vengaboys are pure cheese but very fun

 

[rhythmbandit]

A couple of upcoming episodes are being skipped because of the rather video to trance hit "Gouryella" being shown for a few seconds on the top 20 countdown - it seems a shame they can't just stick something over that for the couple of seconds it's on screen.

I'd never seen the video until just now and YIKES.

The week after Gouryella left the top 20, R. Kelly entered, so it'll be interesting to see what they do with that.

 

[rhythmbandit]

These are the two episodes they're skipping:

 

[Shoat]

The evil Gouryella robbing J-Lo and the equally famous Lolly of their debut appearances. I doubt Barlow will mind that episode being buried though.

J-Lo performed on one of the previous episodes from last week.

 

[octophone]

Awww, Blur doing Coffee and TV. It had such a short, undistinguished chart run but it's such a classic.

 

[Pipo]

oh wow, Jlo had backing dancers wearing mic headsets, she truly didn't GAF

 

[VoR]

Viva La Radio really is quite majestically terrible

 

[lolly]

These are the two episodes they're skipping:

And 6th and 13th August are both hosted by Scott Mills and due for broadcast next week, according to the Radio Times.

I see on the BBC TOTP's page the 26th August 99 is next Friday's episode. Hopefully the missing one's show up on YouTube.

Skipping nearly 2 months of 99 over sex pests? HATE CRIME!

 

[VoR]

Something very Cliff Richard-coded about poor old Gary Barlow's Stronger, despite the fact that the backing track was clearly lifted from Cher's Believe sessions.

 

[VoR]

"Every girl's favourite Puerto Rican - Ricky Martin!"

Was that with the milk carton? I loved it

I think he was quite hot!

 

[Sardonicus]

GOD'S IN THE DOORWAY I KNOW
I'M FRIGGING HAPPY NOW
LOVE'S GOT A HOLD ON MY HEART

 

[Sardonicus]

Much as I love Dina Carroll, & Without Love is a decent tune, this is the point when she became, essentially, directionless.

 

[octophone]

I was watching the Blur episode - poor Graham looks like he'd rather be anywhere else in the world. He doesn't look at the audience or even at the other members of the band.

 

[ILL ADVISED]

The backstreets boy performance is so good

 

[aquaplex]

Breathe Again is a fucking banger! Proper dopamine hit. These episodes take me back so much. S Club, N Sync, Britney, Vengaboys, J Lo, ATB!

Take me back PLEASE! I don't want to get old

Well if you’re in London you’re in luck:

It’s the last one I’m doing too! Perfect timing with the TOTP repeats!

 

[aquaplex]

These recent episodes have been amazing. NSync, J Lo, Adam Rickitt, Britney, Vengaboys, ATB, Whitney, A1 and S Club.

And then this weekend with Steps, Five, Ricky Martin, Alice Deejay, Pet Shop Boys, Dina Carroll and the forgotten 3 Jays.

The Dina performance felt a bit limp though. She was barely moving! 3 Jays also so busy doing a live vocal he didn’t do the main vocal hook line of “I know that you’re feeling that you’re feeling it too”.

Poor Marvin and Tamara getting the chop because of Scott Mills.

Do you post the playlists of these? Would be particularly interested in the flops chosen

Yes on insta and set uploads (with chart runs) on YouTube https://youtube.com/@onemoretimeclub?si=G8h9VEWFxDIY0I-j

The missing Scott Mille episodes are on YouTube.

As for tonight’s, well the Edinburgh crowd got more for their money than that show in Glasgow where most of the episode was clips from London.

Agog at the Binary Finary performance of two random girls giving it a shake and the camera focusing on the DJ at the back and barely at the others. Cowey probably gritting his teeth at that.

How did Hepburn not get sued by Nirvana? And why did the backing ground vocals sound vocodered? Did they ever get to go to the studio?

Alice Deejay’s Gran didn’t want to go to Glasgow.

 

[lolly]

I thought Hepburn's Bugs was far more Transvision Vamp's Baby I Don't Care.

That second Texas song with Sharleen's falsetto was horrid.

 

[aquaplex]

That second Texas song with Sharleen's falsetto was horrid.

Oh my it was

Geru was like no I’m not off to Edinburgh x

 

[aquaplex]

One of the A*Teens clearly forgetting she was supposed to be singing at the start.

I never really took to Sing It Back, though it’s blacklisted now I guess.

Ocean Colour Scene becoming even more dreary though I did like the follow up So Low. Ditto the Stereophonics track being dreary as Kelly goes liiiaaaaffffeeee

Shaft I feel basically being the follow up to Touch And Go’s Would You.

 

[Shoat]

I would like to say on record that I always thought Shing It Back was BILGE even before Roisin became evil.

I'm more aggrieved at no longer being able to enjoy Familiar Feeling.

 

[aquaplex]

Oh Christ Mambo Number 5. One of the few songs from 1999 I haven’t ever played at a One More Time 1999 (and won’t).

 

[aquaplex]

I am surprised they didn’t get Phats And Snall to do a pre release performance of Feel Good though!

 

[Inner Smile]

What is the opinion on 'Bring It All Back' on here? Cos I think it's a great pop song!

I really enjoyed Cher 'All or Nothing' i've not listened to that in years

 

[Inner Smile]

I didn't think much of Texas' Summer Son performance I must be honest

 

[aquaplex]

I didn't think much of Texas' Summer Son performance I must be honest

Better than the album track they did in the same show!

 

[Inner Smile]

Yes it was an off day for Sharleen I must admit

 

[Inner Smile]

I never get bored of Alice Deejay Better off Alone, still incredible

 

[lolly]

I've watched a few tonight.

I imagine it has fans here, but I'm sorry, Martine McCutcheon's 'I've Got You' is one of the most boring and lyrically banal songs I've ever heard. Dreadful.

 

[Inner Smile]

I had no idea she went blonde

 

[Inner Smile]

I'm not keen on Geri with crimped hair

 

[rhythmbandit]

No TOTP 99 this week because of the bloody snooker so it's on Friday 1st May with two fantastic sounding episodes.
