These days i’d say Suzi Q FTW, back then i probably would have just gone “phwoah”, well if i hadn’t had been 6 years old i would have. Its all a bit rockabilly with plenty of energy, its OK and even a little good but only a little.
The Moments - jack in the box
Three men with bad suits but one has a good afro. The song itself is pap but inoffensive pap.
The Brothers - sing me
The kind of cod-reggae that probably went (and still does) down a storm at Butlins.
Boz Scaggs - what can i say
The same video we had in an earlier show, Boz Scaggs and the entire population of Liechtenstein on the same stage. It has a good late 70s funky/soul/rock vibe. This wouldn’t sound out of place on The Warriors OST.
Thelma Houston - don’t leave me this way
Thelma is a good turn, she can express more emotion with one glance than a show load of X-Factor singers. The song itself is pretty good but was just 1 of 2 versions in the chart at that moment.
The Rubettes - baby i know
Oh yeah, country and western. The song isn’t bad, and had a lovely chorus but is all a bit bloodless.
Mr Big - romeo
So thats where the BBC’s dry ice budget went. We have some bared torsos and lots of hair, and even some sub-Bohemian Rhapsody SFX. However its not Queen is it?
Legs & Co have some tambourines and strips of fabric to dance to Tavares’ “the mighty power of love”. That is the extent of the imagination in this week’s routine though.
Leo Sayer - when i need you
And the new number 1 is by Leo Sayer, here to sing it in a cute sports jersey. Leo oddly looks a little bored, come on the song isn’t that bad! Its even pretty good... though a song i was heartily sick of by the early 80s.
