    Joe McElderry - Classic (covers album)



    Clearly going to be a budget affair but hopefully he can shift some albums finally

    Oh AS IF

    It'll be a one week wonder and then GONE forever (or in a bargain basement near you)

    Those GNASHERS are worse than that rubbish Nicola Roberts (RIP her solo career ) has had shoved into her GOB

    Yeah I can't see this doing a THING. The moment has well and truly passed.

    Shame, I really would have liked to see him have a happy ending to his post-X Factor saga.

    It's amazing how much people seem to dislike him. My current GENTLEMAN CALLER finds him ABHORRENT when he always seemed alright to me.

    My Mother doesn't like him either. She called him a DULLER version of Will Young. Though she does ADORE Will in a somewhat unseemly way ("do you often see him in London?" etc.) so maybe she's not the best measure.

    The public can clearly only have enough room in their MP3 collection for one gay talent show winner

    My Mother wouldn't know an MP3 if it slapped her in the face with a REDUCED TO CLEAR dildo from PROWLER.

    Despite the fact her kitchen iPod Touch is obviously FILLED with them.

    My mum loved Joe. Something about a social awkward and almost totally sexless gay boy really brought out her maternal instinct. Can't think why.

    It's the CD Cover equivalent of the Supermarket aimed Celeb Biography. Sad
    He looks good in whatever he wears... But he's not wearing yellow.

    Oh of course I am, I just meant Joe was a lot like me when I was his age. Except with talent.

    I don't think it's sad at all. He's making MONEY from singing SONGS.

    He should be thrilled. Some people would give their RIGHT ARMS for that kind of GIG.

    Yeah in fairness he's bloody lucky he's had this second chance at a major label release even if it is looking commercially doomed. I don't think there's any shame in what he's doing now at all. I was hoping he might carve out an Aled Jones sort of career. Maybe he still will. (Though probably with fewer appearences on Songs Of Praise).

    That's a BAD picture of him. I know he'd filled out a bit in a way that suggested flop-related comfort eating, but he's looking more than a bit KD Lang there.

    I never know how to feel about all this. He does seem like a genuinely nice person, and it's a shame to see someone like him chewed up and spat out so mercilessly by The Machine, but on the other hand i do find him a genuinely RUBBISH pop star, so i can't say it's not deserved. I just hope he can come out of it with a bit more money / career opps this time around.

    As said elsewhere i think his best bet is more on the reality tv circuit. Dancing on Ice would definitely have him next year. And probably I'm a Celeb the year after, if he still wants to be famous.

    He'd probably win them all. And still disappear 2 days after they finished. He's just so ANODYNE.

    Has that cover received NO Photoshopping. Compare it to the Wide Awake shot which was like a PG Abercrombie & Fitch.

    The difference was at least Will Young was slightly CULTURED. Nobody wants a gay who wants to watch a Disney film at the end of a long day. It didn't work for IAN H WATKINS.

    ugh covers albums are just the worst thing ever. He really should just stick to musical theatre, which he was clearly BORN to do.

    But as it's been mentioned countless times before HE'S NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR MUSICAL THEATRE!

    *except for possibly the role of Doody in the travelling version of Grease.

    Now that is where I truly take UMBRAGE. Musical Theatre really isn't the easy route people suggest it is.

    Sure, a ten minute turn in a regional tour of "A Celebration of the HITZ of Kool & The Gang" might be fine for him. But actually making a genuine, long-term career out of ACTING, SINGING, DANCING in the West End is something that requires genuine TALENT which he hitherto has NOT shown.

    Yeah i'd say he's genuinely NOT GOOD ENOUGH (at least as any sort of lead), other than maybe for rubbish looking stuff at Trafalgar Studios 2, or weird little above-pub musicals for dirty old men, where the leads all get their cocks out. And still there's probably prettier desperados graduating from drama school every september.

    Maybe Bill Kenright could stick him in a cheapo regional Joseph tour. Joe's probably on a similar talent/star quality level to KEITH JACK from the Any Dream Will Do show.

    He very much IS good enough for many shows in the West End, but that's not necessarily a COMPLIMENT

    I really have no interest in this, much as I love(d) Wide Awake but it's nice to see that he's been given another chance even if it is going to amount to NOTHING once again. I don't really GET why people hate him though, he's quite bland really so to evoke such a strong reaction seems a little odd. I quite like him though, he seems like he's genuinely quite a nice guy, if a little dull.

    He looks MENACING and HAUNTED. Perhaps he had learned that Cheryl Cole had been SCRAPPED from the video jukebox down at G-A-Y LATE on the day of the shoot.

    The problem is, and always has been, that he has no CHARISMA. And unlike the similarly DULL Leona, doesn't have a cracking voice or a top-drawer crossover ballad to disguise it. I was reading an interview in Heat Magazine (which I didn't buy) where they spent about three quarters of the interview trying to find out which famous males (™) he fancied. It was such an AWKWARD read and I'm not exactly blaming him, but he seems like someone who's very uncomfortable in the lay-it-all-bare pop market that we have at the moment - he has nothing to say for himself. Even Alexandra Burke spent her gap year tweeting utter SHIT to make it seem like she was a personality artist.

    That's one thing you cannot argue with. THE BEAST has MORE personality than a Belle Amie/ Hope/ Kandi Rain/ Girlband/ Addictiv Ladies 'SUPERGROUP'

    He needs some EDINA MONSOON style PR advice:

    "Well, see, the trouble with you is you're not giving me anything. You know, if you want something from the tabs, you gotta give 'em something back. You're just kinda flatlining nice and sweet, are you? And they want a little bit of a heartbeat. They don't wanna know your mum's your best friend, do they? They want it to be some one-armed, lesbian assailant seeker! They want your main lining, arm-jacking, smack-crack nightmare, darling! They want you fileted all over the butcher's block so they can photograph all your organs for "Heat" magazine! I mean, frankly, for once, I would like to see you foaming at the mouth, stinking of piss in the gutter with this little thumb stuck up Justin Timberlake's ass and you wearing nothing but a Gucci belt!"
