Just caught the end of the T4 unsigned earlier today.
Alex James said you's were "curiously sexless for four girls"
!!!!!!!
Think you's need to give him a boot in the balls on next weeks show ;)

is this show done according to a "survivor" model? If so, does this mean you've still suryvived to this point? If so, well done!

the saying "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" couldn't be more appropriate to qualify the jury's stance on their name and song originality.
in short: cunts.

the judges are proper nobs. we are rapidly becoming the most hated band on telly! haha.
honestly, they've been rude to us the entire show and then they get pissed off that we don't kiss their arses.
eh would y'all mind signing up as our fans on the mobile site? we didn't tell anyone cos we hate the show but now we are getting slated for it by the fans of the band who got chucked out:

it's better being loved or hated rather than being in the middle-ground though.
it's the middleground ones that will get chucked out of the competition.the bad vibes are just from the judges and the people that bother signing up to the site.
if the winner is decided by a phone-in vote then you's might wipe the board with everyone else.
would love to see the look on the judges faces then ;)

vespa, do feel it's been a net positive experience for the band?

rand it's been horrible actually. but we feel like we have to take the opportunity so that more people will hear us, otherwise we're just slaving away on the road to no-where.
telly really and truly sucks. i have a pissed off attitude for the entire show because they are so damn rude to us. and then they whinge about us being "ungracious" afterwards. nobs.
of course the publicity is good. but the invasive nature of how they try and create drama at the expense of the bands involved is really despicable.
what is most frustrating is how the uphold all the stereotypes about women, i.e. women must smile! women must be humble! women must sell themselves through sex!
hideous. but if we can just inspire more bands to do their own thing and stick 2 fingers up to the industry then it will all be worth it.

oh god..
i so wish you end up in the finals, and i hope for it to be televised live and you turn the horrible qualities of teevee in your favor and do/say/sing some degrading things about the jury and the show, srsly.
a statement is so much more effective and lasting than holding up a trophy and smile victory and noone really cares about you or your music, just your fame..
if you do it well, the reward is greater than any televised commitment.

but would it jeopardize your position at the BBC? Or would you not blame tv in general? Or is your job on the fringe anyway, now that the BBC is gonna cut...?

this is what happens when you ask to be rated by insipid, 80%er mentality saps on a show aimed at insipid, 80%er mentality saps on television; an industry full of egotistic muppets that actually think television is the be all and end all.
I mean, it's TV, it's for the average and the uninteresting, it's stupid, lol @ these people that believe their own hype.
I really don't know why you give a shit, if you actually think you are good you should really not care for the opinions of numbskulls.

but then again it's pop music!
ooooh the paradox of modern life!

I remember your original post questioning whether it would be worth it. Is it? If you had it to do over?
- madirish0
which one are you, vespa???
- emokid0
for what it's worth, i think your song in that youtube video was better than anything lily allen has ever put out.
- vespa0
dunno rand, have to wait to see how it pans out really. i've learnt a lot and that's never a regret. it's quite stressful tho, and i have nerves of steel.
- ********0
i still can't believe they commented on the bands name, i mean what is the "spice girls" for a name anyway, ffs!?
- ********0
with that difference that the spice girls are rather mental and the mentalists are quite spicy, imho! ;)
