Stuff that Stephy likes...stuff that Stephy hates. She doesn't care if you like it, or if you don't.

Gutted
Pop Idol viewers know nothing. Correction, they do know which contestants will make the blandest pop idols, because they've kept them all in and kicked off the wonderful Susanne. I loved Susanne. She was ace. She might not have had the best few weeks, but that's because the "themes" have been crap. Completely biased towards the boys. Foxy believing that "she look awkward on stage". Bollocks. She looked beautiful and relaxed and loving it. Anything but awkward.
It seems as though the "great" British public, can't stand anything other than the bland, the boring and the norm. Resulting in Michelle, Mark, and Chris being in the final 4.
I'm glad I didn't watch the results show last night, I would have been overcome with rage and had to throw my TV out of the window, something I would not be capable of doing as my TV weighs about 4 tones.
So here's to Susanne. We know you will do wonderful things with your life. You are beautiful, no matter what they say. You don't need Pop Idol anymore. Take your luscious lips and lovely blonde locks with you and run into the wind. You are free from the show that (now) makes a mockery out of its most talented contestants. Good luck my little one, and I hope to see you soon....

THE BEST CHAT UP LINES EVER!
'I'm not Fred Flinstone, but I can sure make your Bed Rock!'
'Is there a rainbow today? I just found the treasure I've been searching for!'
'I must be a snowflake, 'cos I've fallen for you.'
'Your eyes are blue, like the ocean. And baby, I'm lost at sea.'
'Do you have a bandaid? Because I just scrapped my knee falling for you.'
'You remind me of a magnet, because you sure are attracting me over here!'
'Excuse me, do you have any raisins? How about a date?'
'Is there an airport nearby or is that just my heart taking off?'
'I'm a Love Pirate, and I'm here for your booty!'
'Hello, I'm a thief, and I'm here to steal your heart.'
'I dont have a library card.. but do you mind if i check you out?'

Sneak Peak.
Just in the process of listening to the as yet unreleased "A Present For Everyone". First thoughts?
Very American, even slightly Blink 182. Quality lyrics. Excellent use of commedy sounds. Sexy matured voices. Older subject matter.
However I am never very good at judging albums on the first listen, and I have probably misheard most of the lyrics and not understood just exactly what they are singing about. So i guess I will have to wait until I have an official paid for copy in my hands before I can make any serious comment.

What Would You Do If...?
A few important questions you really ought to be thinking about...
1 - If Charlie rang you up and sang, "Your, so fit, and you know it..." down the phone?
2 - Wearing school uniform became illegal after the age of 16?
3 - Everybody HAD to pluck their eyebrows?
4 - The earth was hit by an asteroid and we didn't make it to the Year 3000?
5 - Jumping was banned on stage?

Dedicated.
This feature is made especially for my dear friend Katie. Over the past few days she’s gorged herself on Busted songs/quotes/sites and has now become convinced that SHE WILL BE MARRYING CHARLIE. Apparently it’s something to do with his “Porsche” and ability to play 4 instruments, yeah right.
So here you go love, your future husband is ready and waiting...

Top Eight Places for a Busted Shag
Dressing Room at Manchester Apollo
The boys mentioned it the other day on exchange as one of the best places they played on tour. I would like it to be mentioned as one the best places they had sex.
Big Gold Tour Bus
It looks so luxurious. Big, comfy, leather sofas. I bet there's plenty of room on board too.
Garage Door
I wonder if they can compete with the claims of Triple 8?
School Desk
Lets see if they can do for me what they did for Miss McKenzie.
A Plane...With the Light On.
Obviously we would have to recreate the events of Sleeping With The Light On. I would have to give James my picture, in a frame, so he won't miss me beforehand, yeah?
Underwater
Because we'll still be doing it in the year 3000.

Backyard
Hopefully the neighbour, Peter, won't be peering over the fence. He should be busy making that time machine. And we'll be the ones making the funny noises.
The Disco
I won't say no to a dance and a little bit more at the disco.

Sorry, Busted Week hasn’t really gotten off to the best start! It maybe Wednesday now, but today’s features will hopefully make up for the lack earlier in the week.
Single Review
CD 1
Crashed the Wedding
Everyone knows what this lil ditty sounds like. At first I wasn’t so sure, as it somehow sounded different to anything they’ve done before. But its not really like they’ve headed in a completely new direction! Of course Crashed the Wedding was a grower. The best use of sirens and church organs I’ve heard all year. Plus, Matt looks strangely hot in the video. Strange because I’m talking about the part where he’s a girl.
Build Me Up Buttercup.
The boys, together with new group Mcfly, have tackled the classic Foundations song. Although it does sound similar to other covers of this that I’ve heard before, it’s nice to hear some new talent. From the voices you can tell that Mcfly are young, but lets hope they mature as well as Busted have!
That’s Entertainment
An acoustic version which has annoying talking bits where the boys mess up and just general chat amongst themselves and to the listeners. Ok its funny, Busted are always funny, but I kinda wish they had done a proper version, so people don’t go ‘what the hell’s this?’ at the beginning of the track. Although I hadn’t really listened to the track previously, and I really love the lyrics, fun, but you can actually see where they are coming from. Sad that I missed them perform this at PITP this year.
CD2
Crashed the Wedding
Same as above, silly!
Hark the Herald Angels Sing
A bit early for a Christmas B-side lads. But Charlie does sound as though someone is squeezing his bollocks very hard in order for him to be able to sing so high in the opening verse. Haha. But think about it. It must have been at least September when they recorded it. How silly must they have felt singing carols then? Silly boys.
