“Shawry…” slurs Ronan Keating in Boyzone’s ode to forgiveness, Baby Can I Hold You. What he means is ’sorry’, but when it comes to Keating’s irritating fake singing voice, you’d be forgiven for mis-hearing.
Anyway, that Boyzone reunion mustn’t be meeting the same levels of success as their arch-rivals Take That, because I read today that they’re apologising for starting a ruck in Dublin during the 2000 MTV Music Awards.
You heard me right, Maurice Starr’s all-singing, all-dancing boyband, New Kids On The Block are reforming. With all these 90’s pop acts reuniting, there has never been a better time to have a midlife crisis.
Funnily enough, we were sitting in the kitchen the other day trying to remember the dance moves to The Right Stuff. When it comes to music gossip, I swear I’m psychic!
I think legally no publication in the UK is allowed to criticise the Gossip or Beth Ditto at the moment. Ditto seems to have become an overnight sensation and media darling in the UK. It’s not without substance either, because while you’ll read a lot about her view on weight issues, she’s a disarmingly funny and entertaining personality. I watched her guest stint on the Friday Night Project, and loved her sense of humour.
