Just to antagonise, Julio, even more. Julio - do you have MSN messenger?

I don't have MSN messenger, why?

Bexter is of course just another boring pop star who was lucky enough to get a disco hit. derek bailey is an innovator 10 points for derek, zero for sophie.

Bexter looks good. nice body, but her face needs plastic surgery. it's got this awful rhomboidal shape to it whereas Derek looks OK for a 70 year old. And he's healthy. 10 points for derek, two for sophie.

bexter's 'management' makes these awful videos for her. her body is ace and I'm sure she doesn't wear much in them but this is spoilt by the fact that she likes to look 'cool' instead, which i can't stand whereas Derek has released a company video, where the music is happening man! he has also released a video with him playing with dancer Min tanaka.

Derek: 10 points, sophie 1 point

the recorded output: well it's unfair 'cause I've never bought a sophie record but i've heard the awful Groovejet, which was enough. She has released an alb, and you can imagine if the single is bad (singles are supposed to be the best track in a forthcoming alb you know) then its no good. derek has released too much by comparison, but five minutes of derek on his accoustic is enough to BURN sophie, man.

Murder on the dancefloor indeed!

Final count: derek: off the fucking scale points. Sophie: -5 (its the way her face is shaped, its as bad as Ronaldo's haircut).

Gonna go to lunch now. Want to see plenty more sophie threads before i come back.

Sophie - chart-terrorism. I've never heard Derek Bailey - but does he have gasped vowels like water falling on grass - crisp as plexiglass? The way Sophie sings "Yawr Ki-hyind" in Murder on The Dancefloor is classic. The enunciation of an Aristocrat; QP for the Top Ten. I think she's ace. The puffball dresses - hel-looo, that's so Marlene Dietriech. Those Leni Riefenstahl cheekbones.

As for MSN - I just thought it'd be nice to chat.

david h(owie), Sunday, 30 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

My problem with Sophie Ellis Bextor (actually, I have a number, not least of which is that she'd do ska punk covers of madrigals if she thought it'd get her on TOTP) is that she's marketed in the same way as Zoe fucking Ball: girls under 12, you'd like her to teach you to dance and play games; girls over 12, you'd kike to go shopping with her and paint your nails; fuckwits who read lad mags, phwoooooaaar, eh eh eh?
"Groovejet" was so much better without any vocals as well...

Dom Passantino, Sunday, 30 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Music.

david h(owie), Sunday, 30 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

yeah, it'd be nice to chat. When i get back to england i'll set up a MSN account and I can chat then.

"i've heard the awful Groovejet, which was enough"

This person is officially insane.

DavidM, Sunday, 30 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

''This person is officially insane''

And you rock DaveM.

Julio Desouza, Sunday, 30 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

A false opposition - you can like both, y'know...

Andrew L, Sunday, 30 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

You can like both, of course. But read the question: Its bextor vs. Improv and improv 'wins', in my opinion.

Julio Desouza, Sunday, 30 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Music is the real winner here (it is its own reward haha!)

Andrew L, Sunday, 30 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

Who wins? THE FANS!

Dom Passantino, Sunday, 30 June 2002 00:00 (twenty-three years ago)

I thought this was about whether Sophie Ellis-Bextor could beat up Colin Mochrie or not. Ho-hum.

(She could, by the way. Just shout in a giggly fashion, 'Imitate a tigerskin rug!')
