Elton John and Bright Light Bright Light on Graham Norton

Just been watching Elton John and Rod Thomas a.k.a Bright Light Bright Light perform their new single ‘All In The Name’ on the Graham Norton Show on BBC1. Not quite my thing in musical tastes but is wasn’t too bad a single. Apparently the guy (Rod) is Welsh, which is something I’ve partially got in common with him. Me being half Welsh. I’m going to give him 8 1/2 for his singing and musical ability but a 3 (out of 10) for the song performed. Sorry but I just didn’t really dig that particular track.

Congratulations to Kevin Simm on winning The Voice UK 2016. I watched two of his performances and I admit I was impressed by his efforts as a solo artist, I am tempted to buy his debut album. Well done on your win Kevin.

Since his win I have had people say that because of his stint in Liberty X that he shouldn’t have been allowed on the show. My honest opinion is that that shouldn’t really have mattered much because many of the contacts that he made during his time in the band probably weren’t even his. And let’s face it there are many girl-groups/boy-bands out there who probably aren’t calling 100% of the shots were they’re careers are concerned.

 

The Pet Shop Boys on The Graham Norton Show

Just been listening to the Pet Shop Boys perform their latest single “Pop Kids” on the Graham Norton Show, it actually sounds really good. Though their sound’s more 80’s/90’s it still sounds good today. Neil Tennant still sounds as good as ever. I may end up being tempted to buy the album if the rest of the album’s any good.
