Saw TotP earlier. I don't normally watch it, but I wanted to see the new Eminem video, which is quite amusing actually, IMO.

Anyway, they also had S Club Juniors on there, who are apparently number 2 in the charts. The "group" is a bunch of 12 year olds singing about love, how ironic that they are singing so passionately about something that they've never experienced. Weird...

Then there was Mad Donna. Who apparently took the tune for Madonna's "Ray of Light" and stuck the words to "The Wheels on the Bus" to it.

Now, perhaps my ears don't work, but it sounded NOTHING LIKE "Ray of Light" at all. I was embarrassed to watch it and I was cringing all the way through.

If anyone on here bought that "song", you should be VERY ashamed of yourselves.

Our music scene is in a right state...

They're not clever!!! It's just so many people are too dumb to see that S Club juniors is just another way to cash in for some greedy record company.

And as for S club juniors being good, I think that it is totally sick that a record company can do that!!! Take a load of kids, audition them off, give the winners the persona of a group already in existence, and milk them for all it's worth! Whether or not they are good at it or not is pretty much irrelevant, they've just been dumped with living up to the image of some other people... They're just marketing tools- they advertise S club 7, and the record label gets good PR cos it's giving a record deal to some sweet little kiddies...

Bah. I've had my rant.

Yes, you have to bear in mind that although TotP is mostly rubbish, it's been a lot better recently, with bands like Hundred Reasons, Incubus, etc on and actually performing live. So it's not all cheesy poppers miming to their records, which IMO makes it better.

I hate it all. I wish that all of the manufactured pop groups would just fall off a cliff. It makes me cry.
Having said that, I did see Muse on TOTP a while ago, and I also saw
The Electric Soft Parade recently.

Yeah but not all of the songs on TOTP are pop songs. It may say "pop" in the title of the show but there is also rock, R&B, Urbun Garage, Underground Garage and Club music. I mean, you can't call Nickel Back a pop group can you? Well, i can't which is why i like it. But alot of us don't watch TOTP because they say the chart positions on Thursday when they are announced on Sunday on the radio.
