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.

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...

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.

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.

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!')
