I'm talking about Robin Hood, of course. And Guy of Gisbourne. And the Sheriff and ...goodness, when they end a series they like to really end it, don't they? 

Like I wasn't already shedding a tear at losing Alan the previous week, this final episode was too much, specially coming on top of the news that Primeval wouldn't be returning for a fourth series - leaving the gang spread all over in different time zones (they've got to bring it back, surely?) - I've got a family who tease me non-stop you know, if I cry at the telly.

It looks like the Merry Men (and woman) will continue, but will Archer become Robin Hood or will it be the collective "We are Robin Hood" that prevails? Spare a thought for whoever may be in line to replace Keith Allen too - unless they're going to spring the resurrection plot again. Could they? Would they dare? Would we care, as long as the Sheriff is back on top form?

It was a brave man (or woman) who killed off Guy as well, I hazard a guess he may well have been the reason a lot of women (or men) tuned in. Oh, come on - there's no way it was just me!

Imagine the excitement of receiving the congratulations email from the applause store to say you'v got tickets to see the XFactor auditions live - times that feeling by a million and that was me on the day i received my e-tickets lol.

So armed with egg sarnie's and a large bottle of highland spring, hubby and i set off on our journey south from derbyshire to london.

The day started off as a total disaster to be perfectly honest, half way into our travels i suddenly realised i'd left the single most important piece of kit i needed for the day at home on the table - my bleeding camera!!! aaaarrrgghhh!!! oh well at least we had our mobile phones so we'd have to make do with a few pics on those.

i'v believed in the JLS boys from day one, and i literally mean DAY ONE!!
on a wet bank holiday at the o2 when i stood alongside the guys (who were then called UFO) in the queue for the very first audition stage, i remember thinking wow they sound good, over a year later and i now KNOW they sound good!!!
with the recent news that their debut album is available for pre-order online at HMV, Play.com and Amazon , and their debut single BEAT AGAIN filling the airwaves with just over 2 weeks to go before its release on july 13th, the boys are doing some series hard graft promotions.
This latest video, release on their myspace page today is an acapella version of beat again and proves just how tight their vocal harmonies are and that its not just aston with the amazing voice.

omg ii love JLS to biits!!

&& Beat Again is soo good!!

who agrees??

xXx

I'm not sure if you guys have heard but there was an altercation between annoying celebrity blogger Perez Hilton and the Black Eyed Peas not so long ago. Basically, the event occurred at the Much Music Awards in Toronto where will.i.am, the Black Eyed Peas frontman, was acting as DJ for the night.

Now, one for making bitchy comments on his website PerezHilton.com, Perez has being calling BEP vocalist Fergie "fugly" amonst many other insults. "Fugly" by the way is a combination of the words "ugly" and "F**K". Anyway I realise I'm kind of rambling so I'll get to the point: Fergie approached Perez and asked him why he was being so insulting. Basically, will.i.am got involved and a heated verbal argument occured between the two.

However, this is where things turned nasty and Perez called will.i.am a "fagot"! And then Perez claimed that the BEP manager punched him in the face. will.i.am has denied this and stated that it was just some random fan!

Yes, you may love her or hate her but Taylor Swift has teamed up with T-Pain to record a hilarious parody of her hit single Thug Story. I think the video shows that the girl doesn't take herself seriously and while some of her songs are a little needy and desperate, I still think she's one of the brightest musical stars to come out of the US in a long time. Basically, in short, I wanna marry her! But enjoy the video!

This is the post I wanted to write after watching Jonathan Ross's Take That interview last week. I've got a feeling his show is fast losing its appeal, whether as a result of Sachsgate or just because it's getting predictable.

The interview with Take That was so dull and uninspired: he dredged out the old videos of the boys in fetish gear and covered in jelly; he teased Gary about his weight; he virtually ignored the other guys. In essence, it was exactly the same as the last interview he did with the guys.

We can only be grateful that he didn't drag out the Robbie reunion line...

Last night's show was equally weak - he totally alienated Mitchell (or Webb) from Mitchell and Webb, sucked up to Davina about Big Brother and I think I fell asleep during the interview with the guy from Lost.

I mean, the recipe for the Jonathan Ross show is simple:

 This review has been written on request from thespiritwarrior of the BBC Chart Blog. Enjoy!

• Song: Wouldn't You
• Artist: N-Dubz
• Album: Uncle B
• Release Date: 29 May 2009 (IRE), 1 June 2009 (UK)
• Genre: British hip hop, R&B
• Peak Position: TBA (IRE), 64 (UK)

SONG REVIEW: They may have recently topped both the UK and Irish Singles Chart alongside 'Prince Of Grime' Tinchy Stryder recently but N-Dubz as a whole have yet to achieve that all important breakthrough hit. Despite gaining legions of fans (including myself), releasing seven singles and setting forth the poppy Strong Again a while back, could Wouldn't You give N-Dubz the commercial success they deserve?

Yet another Take That single is winging its way into the charts. In celebration of Said It All, here's is my six-point review of the single:

1. Gary Barlow's yelping falsetto is fast becoming one of the most overused devices in pop music today. Yes, more than autotune. It seems that every song Take That do these days is riddled with his bleating falsetto, which does not make up for the lack of emotion in his voice.
2. Mark Owen's voice sounds increasingly feeble - not just on this track, but when they performed on Jonathan Ross the other week. His little piece at the end of the song sounds like a drunk Mancunian pensioner at a karaoke night.
3. The song itself is a solid pop/rock ballad and evokes U2 and Coldplay in its shimmering guitar work and build-up to an epic crescendo.
4. Unfortunately, it's horribly derivitive as a direct result of this. Sure, it might appeal to the more mature pop fans, but after Patience, Rule The World and Greatest Day, this type of TT tune is becoming bland and boring. Rule The World (my personal favourite) worked so well because it was unique, but Barlow has repeated the trick so many times it's becoming like a production line of adult-oriented ballads.
5. I still can't escape the fact that the song itself is actually very good. Yes, it could have been constructed from Gary's "How To Write A Hit Single" instruction manual, but Said It All is a superbly constructed pop song albeit highly likely to be forgotten as soon as the airplay stops.
6. You really can have too much of a good thing.

Dizzee Rascal's Bonkers is going to be anthem for a new generation of crazy bitches. You know the kind - the waaay too drunk loud girls at the club with their fingers pointed skyward as this starts to play. "Bonkerrrrrssss!!!!" they'll shriek at each other before bopping around to this. Boobs will fall out of dresses due to vigorous dancing. The runt of the pack will probably vomit all over the floor when it all ends.

The point is, whereever boisterous girls go to par-tay, this song will go with them.

None of this is a criticism, because Dizzee has managed to cram a ton of urban goodness into this goofy track. Bonkers is one of those songs that has a simple hook and shout-out lyrics that you remember but can never sing back in the right sequence.
