Bigsby Posted May 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 She isn't. She gave a concert at our school about 2 weeks ago, demanded that we paid to see her perform. No one wanted to so she had to make it free, which considering she used to go here, she should've done in the first place.She also claimed "I must be the coolest thing to happen to your school in a long time" and went on some shpeel about how she was performing in dedication to the 20 people (she claimed) died from her year since she left.She also treated her brother, who was the sound guy for the performance, like absolute shit.And her lyrics are fucking awful.Classic.

Bigsby Posted May 13, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2009 John Barrowman? The actor? no?Seems he fancies himself as a singer too. In fact, as a scholar of pop I have to be fair and acknowledge the fact that his single "What About Us" (written by Gary Barlow) was a good pop song, sounded a bit like Cliff Richard.

In fact, as a scholar of pop I have to be fair and acknowledge the fact that his single "What About Us" (written by Gary Barlow) was a good pop song, sounded a bit like Cliff Richard.He was quite a well known musical performer before his stint in Doctor Who actually. He's been performing on stage (various West End Productions) for quite a while it seems. First time i saw him in anything it was a film with heavy musical leanings (De-Lovely- He did a duet with Kevin Kline) and then in The Producers. Looking on Wikipedia he's actually had quite a few albums out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder what the "new"'s all about?THE LEMON TREE LOUNGE : Productions : The New Beautiful South with Sandi ThomIt's the band reformed without the songwriters and frontpeople that made them successful in the first place. A more appropriate name would be The Shit Beautiful South. Or maybe just The Beautiful Shit. Though some would argue they could have been called that at any point in their career.

Bigsby Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Hmm, OK. Looks like Paul Heaton in the picture?To me The Beautiful South=Paul Heaton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigsby Posted August 21, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 Seriously, that dude with the white shirt and the brown shoes is a doppelganger for Paul Heaton. What a con.Oh, and this makes supporting them even more shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Jack Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 To be fair, Dave Hemingway's still in the band. You were just as likely to hear his voice as Heaton's on Housemartins and BS tracks. Still, it's not the same.Possibly, but ask anyone who the singer was in the Beautiful South and they'll say Heaton, and probably Jacqui Abbot, who's not doing it either. This is the new girl who came in really toward the end of the original South. The songs were all written by Heaton and Dave Rotheray the guitarist, who's not in the new version either.I hate it when old bands reform without the original members...

And I still think Heaton has the much more recognisable voice and that most people would consider the BS to be "his" band. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester1470 Posted August 21, 2009 Report Share Posted August 21, 2009 That being said we went to see Paul Heaton on his last tour and he refused to play any Beautiful South or housemartins stuff, and he only had a couple of albums worth of solo stuff so ended up doing one song twice, what a disappointment having seen the real Beautiful South just before they split and enjoying them much more.

Cerys was the support doing an acoustic set and she was actually much better, even though half her songs were in Welsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
