REVIEW: Jamelia – Walk With Me

14 Nov

Jamelia
This is from a little while ago. After all Popjustice’s shouting about the Jamelia album, for me it was totally disappointing. The ‘best song ever’ was just a lazy rehash of SOS and the lead single was a dreary faux-rock piece. Yes, it may feature Mrs Slocombe but it’s all very forgettable. XO London completely disagrees with me.

Slinking back onto the scene after the birth of her second child,
Jamelia describes her third album as "more experimental, more crazy".
In reality it’s a continuation of the brilliant singles, mundane albums
routine. In fact, even lead single Something About You doesn’t pack its
desired punch, and languishes in Kelly Clarkson b-side territory.

Read my restrained review of its pantsness online at BBC Music.

Tonight @ Ghetto

Tonight join Laurence and myself to dance at Rockstarz while listening to these guys.

You’ll probably recognise vocalist Tina from the cute and colourful video to Annie Mac favourite and Crazy Itch Radio highlight Take Me Back To Your House. Frankyl, it’s refreshing enough just to see a Jaxx video where you don’t have to avert your eyes from some massive breasts.

Just in case you thought my TV viewing had gone to pot recently…

We are all willing Albert to win, yes?  Clicky Clicky for a more ‘revealing’ look.

Alesha
The ace Knockdown may have only charted at #41 (what is wrong with people?!) but that is the least of the worries for Alesha as The Sun today revealed that her husband Harvey has been boffing Javine. Urgh.

The Sun says:
MC HARVEY and singer JAVINE HYLTON have been rumbled having an affair.

The pair were caught in bed at Javine’s house by her boyfriend KARL “KG” GORDON last week —     and he immediately phoned Harvey’s wife ALESHA DIXON to let her know the sordid news.

Former MIS-TEEQ singer Alesha has now moved out of
the marital home, sickened by her husband’s betrayal with a woman she
had counted as a friend.


Anyway, the main point of this post is because I just went on  Javine’s myspace and I’m glad to see real life really does spill over into the world of internet communities. Seriously check these comments

"TWO-FACED HOME-WRECKING BITCH.
FILTHY BITCH.
YOU CANT JUST GOING ROUND SHAGGING SOMEONES HUSBAND. 
I HOPE KARMA SMACKS YOU FULL FORCE IN THE FACE BEFORE I DO.
SLAG!"

"WELL UR A BITCH, I JUST WANT U 2 KNOW THAT! DO U ENJOY TAKING THE FUKIN
PISS OUT OF SUM1 THAT IS CLOSE 2 ME? U A MARRIAGE-WRECKER, AND I CANT
BELIEVE I EVEN SPENT MY MONEY ON U!
I HOPE U SUFFER U BITCH!
DONT EVEN THINK ABOUT SAYIN HELLO 2 ME, COS ILL JUS THROW AN EGG AT U!"

"GET SUM REAL HAIR PLEASE, HORSE HAIR AINT GOOD ENOUGH!"

"YOU ARE A HOME-WRECKING SLUT."

Oh the internet, how I love you.

I Just Want to Make Totally Sure…

Eton
… that despite X Factor getting more boring by the week, we are all behind Eton Road to win.

The twinkles in their eyes, the flirty looks, the otherwordly spirit
of Anthony that not even Louis Walsh will ever be able to tame.

Not only is Anthony ripe for a love mauling if he ever sets foot in
Ghetto, but can you really turn down a man who says he wants to win
because he’d "love to buy a chihuahua for company" and unashamably says
his favourite artist is Will Young?

No. Vote Eton Road!

In similar news last weekend (Swing week) we were fortunate enough to get a couple of hospitality tickets to see X Factor be filmed. I’d applied for tickets for the show in the past but now I’ve learnt people started showing up at 10am I won’t try again – once was enough. There was lots of standing up, lots of out of tune clapping, the audience all swaying in different directions etc, but Tony Bennett and Sinitta both said hello to us which is, er, enough.
