blonde poker forum

I always chuckle quietly when you start threads like this about just discovering stuff like this years after they hit the big time.  I am not a massive follower of celeb nonsense but i do wonder what planet you live on where you haven't even heard of stuff like this for years!!!  No offense intended.

Done well for themselves, fair play to them.

Oh yes, I have great admiration for people with zero talent who somehow succeed in life.

In that photo they all look like they have digestive problems.

They were on James Corden last month, and the third one looked like she had no such problems.

I actually thought she may have eaten one of the others, when she first appeared.

Presumably what first attracted you to poker?

Not sure winning a talent contest counts as having no talent. It's a bit counterintuitive at any rate.

They seem (for pop stars) like nice people with great voices who work hard. I don't begrudge them success. Not many British bands break America.

I did prefer it when artistes required talent, rather than good Management, though.

You presumably never saw Doris Day? Proper talent, her. Course, once Cilla Black arrived, talent was no longer a prerequisite.  

I did not. She was a good singer that had her songs written for her and her image controlled by management right? So exactly like Little Mix.

I think the "zero talent" comment is a bit unfair. It's not at all my cup of tea, being as I am, an old rocker, but they seem like pretty girls with decent singing voices, making well produced pop music for teenagers. Pretty sure the management will work the very hard too.

Plenty of people with FAR less vocal talent making what some would think of as more credible music.

Ian Brown seems like a prime example of someone who can't sing for shit and yet made an enormous impact on the music world and is responsible for several of the best albums ever made. Talent comes in different shapes, and while little mix's music isn't really my thing, they seem pretty harmless and have a talent for being marketable and are probably better than average singers.

They are a Spice Girls Tribute Band, in precisely the same way as Oasis tried to replicate The Beatles. 

hold on a minute

"Ian Brown....made an enormous contribution to the music world"

Raise.

Action back to you.

That is an interesting statement... if they tried to replicate The Beatles, it was certainly lost on me.

I can see how Little Mix can be described as another girl band off the production line in the Spice Girls mould. They did seem to have reasonably good vocals when i heard them sing (genuinely, not lip sync) live on TV ages ago.

He had a very big impact on quite a famous Era of music. In 100 years the Era of the Madchester movement will be a fuckton more memorable than the Era of little mix et all.

Four tidy boilers though, couple of Geordies in there too.

Remind me how old you were when The Beatles were in their prime, Mr H?

Ha, you can't say that.

I did laugh though, & now I feel bad.

You actually know who this WotR bloke is? That's a first.

Ah actually, you're just hedging with "Mr H". Bound to be right sometimes eh?

Remind me how old you were when The Beatles were in their prime, Mr H?

Of course. I have a vivid memory of him finalling a UKPC 6 Max event.

We call that "KYC" Next Door.

I did have to check first via THM, as I had confused him with Stato. (As in "Mr H"). And I am scared to debate with Stato, as he's too clever, like that Alun bloke.

Whilst you are here, remind me of the name of the nice young gent who made the last UKPC Final, got a pony tail, & he mixed it up with Mr Cimbalos for a while?

. Instead, the uneasy feeling that their ambitions may now be more commercial than artistic is difficult to avoid.

The lyrics do little to assuage that fear. Every song seems to have been written with one eye on row ZZ of the Pittsburgh Enormodome. Dealing only in generalities, the lyrics have been buffed until anyone can see their reflection in them: "Do you feel like a puzzle, you can't find your missing piece?", "You don't have to be alone", "The future's for discovering". At their worst, they are so devoid of personality that they sound less like song lyrics than something dreamed up by a creative at ad agency Bartle Bogle Hegarty. The first thing you hear on the album is Chris Martin singing: "You're in control, is there anywhere you wanna go?" For a terrible moment, you wonder if the second thing you hear might be the voice of Tom Baker saying: " ... the new Toyota Yaris".

little mix are tosh, innit.

at least they know they are tosh.

chris martin though. my word.

they were subject of my favorite music review:


in your face, martin

the 6th form-level cod poetry of martin is ripe for ridicule, and could be seen to a bit of an easy target. but he invests such meaning and profundity in the tripe that i think it's fair game. and he not only bought into the self-importance of gwinnie paltrow he married into it and procreated with the wretched creature.

No Coldplay fan myself, but that did make me LOL.

Guessing that she drowns kids in her spare time? Or something equally despicable?

music is just about being able to relate to people imo.

arctic monkeys were popular because there was a bunch of 15-25 year old lads who agreed with everything they sung about, drugs, sex, violence, women.

same with oasis, ian brown and whoever else.

girls don't care if the pitch of little mixes songs aren't great, they see 4 imperfect girls (i think they gained a lot of support early because they looked like normal girls from school with not the best complexions, one being overweight etc) that they can relate to.

The porky one was actually overweight?

I'm fucked.

if infanticide was her only flaw, she would be much less annoying.

Ha, poor old plumpy hh.

Think most of us are bang in trouble ;D

Any melodramatics about?

much melodrama, dahling.

comes with the territory

this is the woman who said she would rather smoke crack than eat processed cheese and would rather die than let a child eat a cup-o-soup.

melodrama is so in this year, pushkin.

*meditates*

to be fair crack in moderation is one helluva drug.

They did the music bit before one of the NFL games at Wembley last year.

I thought you would have heard of them from this, was mentioned on nfl thread along with dj Ray...lol

Not my idea of music and they were terrible at Wembley, but good luck to 'em, takes something to crack the States

Well yes, it was certainly something Oasis were not able to do but to be fair, they were more of a provincial UK band, & they went down very well in small clubs.

I was pokering Online last night, & news of my admiration for Little Mix had spread like wildfire, & I was getting comments galore.

Don't want to embarrass him, but Doobs was on a few of my tables, & told me he was listening to Little Mix at the same time. I just don't Get Weird.

Confirmed Doobs bashed me up good & proper.

Can confirm Little Mix are fairly hit and miss.  Struggled through about half their songs, but 3 or 4 were enjoyable.  Got go be careful on YouTube though as you can find yourself listening to Bieber in no time. 

Nothing wrong with Bieber, imo.

Quite like his recent stuff, which is probably helped by the fact he taking himself less seriously now, too.

Please, no trolling in this thread, you'd not catch me doing that.
