    Didn't she release an album then an EP (for the gayz) like two weeks ago? And now this. She's (literally) throwing as much shit as she can until something sticks.
    WHAT DID I SAY?

    Can you IMAGINE the VIDEO? I'd've preferred it with Mel B, however.

    SERIOUSLY why would anyone be even REMOTELY happy at the fact they're doing a duet on this?

    It's like asking LOLLY to have a bash at ROLLING IN THE DEEP

    It's just amusing. It's clearly going to be an absolute car crash.

    A Lolly Rolling In The Deep would be great too.

    I rediscovered Lolly's second album recently. I had forgotten there was an ACOUSTIC TRACK near the end.

    It is truly heartfelt.

    In what sense? They're both very good vocalists.

    It will be amusing in that the song is hilarious in its melodrama, but I don't see why it'd be a car crash!

    Lolly's second album was FUCKING AMAZING. I will not hear another word about it! Shame her voice was like nails down a blackboard though...

    They are both an extremely odd fit for a song like this and I'm not sure I'd really describe them as very good vocalists personally. Competent enough, but not really any better than the Steps girls who also made a wonderful pig's ear of it.

    Mel C has reportedly split from boyfriend Thomas Starr.

    The Spice Girls singer has ended her relationship with the property developer after ten years, reports The Sun.

    Her spokesperson has reportedly confirmed the break-up, but there is to yet to be an official statement from the star.

    The pair have one daughter, 3-year-old Scarlett, and shared a North London house together.

    They met together on holiday ten years ago, and were said to be thinking of having a new child together in May.

    Mel C revealed in March that having a baby with Starr helped her as she battled depression.

    The Superstar singer is currently working on her next studio album Stages, which will include a duet with Emma
    LESBIAN.

    Presumably she's at the STOP-GAP and don't-have-a-clue stage in her career.

    I think Emma has a very good sense of what her voice works with and what it doesn't. I expect this to be quite an understated take on the song - she's not the type for wailing beyond her range.

    At worst it'll be dull. They won't massacre it. I hope.

We can now reveal which twelve tracks Melanie decided to record, as well as the cover of the album.

    01. Maybe This Time
    02. Another 100 People
    03. I Know Him So Well (with Emma Bunton)
    04. Aren't You Kinda Glad We Did?
    05. I Don't Know How To Love Him
    06. Both Sides Now
    07. Ain't Got No / I Got Life
    08. I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself
    09. I Only Have Eyes For You
    10. Tell Me It's Not True

    'Stages' is released digitally on September 9 and will be available through iTunes and all other major digital outlets worldwide. A physical album will be released in the UK a day later. We will be speaking to Melanie to discuss 'Stages' soon.
    The thought of Menly CATERWAULING her way through Maybe This Time is already making me cringe!

    I'm sure her reading of 'My Funny Valentine' will be the soundtrack of many a lesbian seduction.

    I love Ain't Got No/I Got Life (from HAIR) but I can't imagine THIS VERSION sounding in any way PALATABLE

    Another 100 People (Company) could work though

    I think this is a good move for her overall

    This is like Geru releasing an acting reel on DVD (well, okay it's not), is there really a point to this other than trying to get more musical theatre roles made famous by The Nolans?

    The rebrand to stage siren isn't doing it for me. I love the idea of Mary Magdalene being a lesian with a massive crucifix on her arm though.
