Has it come to this? 😞

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Blue are practically begging to be another nostalgia-bait act who end up on West Holts having been underestimated by the bookers. Surprised it hasn’t already happened.

I won't lie, that bill does slightly bring me out in hives.

I'm not.  The nostalgia acts that they've had on WH recently have been r'n'b acts with decent critical reputations.

Are Sugababes an rnb act? I get what you’re saying though & I definitely don’t see Blue as a West Holts act. What’s the world coming too, how are we discussing Blue and B*witched!?

[NorthernSoul52]

Sugababes had a decent critical reception? Must have missed that in the noughties. (I was a child, to be fair.)

I mean there's a grey area where rnb shades into pop.  The 'babes definitely a lot more 'street' than their contemporaries tho.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

think Blue would be absolutely fine for the stage. The bigger issue would probably be Lee Ryan being a racist plank. Although they sold out a recent academy tour so it didn’t seem to have hurt their reputation too much.

Peerless string of singles. In its own way Freak Like Me was a bit of a game-changer.

[NorthernSoul52]

Bryan Adams going off on the Chinese didn't appear to impact him, though to be fair, that seemed to be more motivated by vegetarianism.

I did say half in jest, I must admit - a lot of people I know say they were "pop perfection" next to their girl group peers of the period. (Which I guess means Girls Aloud?)

[CaledonianGonzo]

Girls Aloud have equally got a serious arsenal of absolute belters - but they're more of a Pyramid act.

[NorthernSoul52]

The debate goes whether Sugababes were too now, but that's one to split hairs on another day.

Absolutely perfect line up

 

for my daughters 10th birthday party back in the day😉😊

[NorthernSoul52]

Glad you said "back in the day". Would be stunned if any ten-year-olds these days had a Scooby Doo who Gareth Gates is or was.

Haha this would be great if they've got this true. I think Chesney is the ideal option to take the Rick Astley place.

[Rose-Colored Boy]

Olly Murs’ slot on the Pyramid is also about 10 years overdue, for better or worse.

Aside from anything else the absolutely reckless use of capital letters and punctuation in that poster is giving me the heebie jeebies.

 

Not sure if it's a tribute act or if they've just managed to spell Jason Donovan's name wrong.

Well it would be a left-field move if they turned up at the very top of El Pointo.

[DomDom1984]

Olly Murs was outstanding in his 45 minute support slot for Take That. Anything more and I'd be skeptical. I've enjoyed his gigs but wasn't blown away until that support slot. 

[NorthernSoul52]

Murs knows how to work an MOR crowd. Mid-afternoon on the Pyramid, he'll be right as rain.
