Diesel Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 Thandi SomI must say that this is one very well written article. I laughed out loud several times whilst reading it.Sandi Thom is rather shite in my opinion...But its pop music' date=' so its to be expected. I can also quite believe that the whole webcast thing was a PR thing in an attempt to give her credability.But good luck to her[/quote']I laughed and I laughed - finally! someone who's more angry and miserable than me. He hit the nail right on the head with his vitriol about manufactured sentiment.I'm pleased that he also mentioned that minker anthem "Angels" by The Robbster - how many times has that piece of diabetes-inducing shite been used at a death-by-neglect, savaged-by-pet-pitbull, or eckied-smacked-cracked-to-death-during-school-hours kiddie funeral???Sandi's song is shite and I doubt very much if folks in the North East (or on this site) would be as forgiving if Miss Thom came from...oh...Milton Keynes or Cork or Swansea or somewhere not in Scotland???DZL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'here's one for the ladies' and all that bollocks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted June 12, 2006 Report Share Posted June 12, 2006 I still have not heard this song. I think that is a good thing too.You lucky, lucky person...It's bad, really bad, with a stomp-along rythym that reminds one of sing-a-long Nick Junior kiddie programmes. The delivery is embarassingly bad, like having to watch your sister a the local gala "talent" show.Once you hear it though, it'll go roond yer heid like a hairy worm and you'll humming it unconsciously...and then comes the self-loathing.DZL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's more annoying is by the time I get it out of my head, it comes back on the radio at work.Thank god for the World Cup, that's all I can say.

Guest DustyDeviada Posted June 13, 2006 Report Share Posted June 13, 2006 Well, the song might not be my cup of tea, but good luck to her. Not only has she had a number 1 single, but her debut album has gone straight in at number 1, selling more than the likes of Ronan Keating and Paul Simon. (The Paul Simon album is ace by the way.)Now I've never gone in for the argument that just because it sells a lot, it's good (Westlife anyone?), but respect to a North-east lassie for what she has achieved. Let's face it, if she'd posted on here a few times and been part of the "scene" then loads of people on here would be crawling up her arsehole.
