Possum 2 says:
Cheryl's headband is horrible, Sarah looks really good and Nicola's wearing sexy tights
Possum 1 says:
kimba looks REALLY patronising
Possum 2 says:
Nicola's bit: AMAZING
Possum 1 says:
why does Cheryl look like a karate black belt expert?
Possum 2 says:
no idea
Possum 1 says:
Nadine looks grumpy
Possum 2 says:
Sarah looks amazing
Possum 1 says:
probs coz of her prune lippy
Possum 2 says:
why is Sarah suddenly the main singer?
Possum 1 says:
oooooh that's so their ploy: to feature her just a little bit more in each video until we forget about Nads
Possum 2 says:
HAH! i wouldn't complain... there's a shot of an amazing red shoe towards the end, but i have no idea who's wearing it
Possum 1 says:
the exposure's so high, they all look like they're made of tin foil and vaseline
Possum 2 says:
at least they're not doing choreography out of sync... their hands at the end of the Promise video are all doing different things
Possum 1 says:
Nicola is so petrified when she breaks the bottle... bless! also, have you seen the bit where Cheryl's impersonating the letter S going to the gyno?
Possum 2 says:
yes! i wanted them to do something more interesting with Nicola's hair
Possum 1 says:
yeah... but my favourite shots are as follows: Gingy waggling her finger,
then the following shot of Kimberly's cleavage, then Sarah at the beginning
Possum 2 says:
OMG I LOVE GINGY'S FINGER
Possum 1 says:
although she's wearing a Claire's Accessories bun net as a body stocking
Possum 2 says:
HAHAHA yes she is! i love when she masticates a strawberry
Possum 1 says:
all in all, its all a little late nineties early noughties fodder... sort of Dane Bowers video scenario
Possum 2 says:
definitely... reminds me of that video for that Elvis mashup thing they did
Possum 1 says:
urgh... yeah
Possum 2 says:
Little Less Conversation
Possum 1 says:
awful! its just so... done, which is a little disappointing
Possum 2 says:
it's like Cell Block Tango meets Cheap 90s Video Concept
Possum 1 says:
almost a Kotex advert with the red, black metallic colour scheme, n'est-ce pas?
Possum 2 says:
if i knew what Kotex was I'd agree
Possum 1 says:
sanitary towel company... always have red objects on the packaging
Possum 2 says:
OH YEAH! like those red chocolate hearts
Possum 1 says:
I wish they'd done like an astronaut geisha sort of set up with lots of moonwalking and cherry blossom... for some reason, I see it
Possum 2 says:
that sounds amazing!
Possum 1 says:
it's sort of Top of the Pops territory, which is a little odd... just looks like "we didn't have a great deal of time as Cheryl was too busy crying over Eoghahne and spitting at Dannii"
Possum 2 says:
yeah, bless Dannii... she went from having the most acts in the competition to being the only judge who has none
Possum 1 says:
conspiracy to make her feel even more inadequate
Possum 2 says:
yeah definitely
Possum 1 says:
sad, sad, sad... there's a bit before the 0:55 mark where she hits a wall and it is possibly THE MOST UNCOORDINATED MOVEMENT EVER!
Possum 2 says:
oh?
Possum 1 says:
I may be overdoing it... being a little liberal with the hyperbole... but it is the lowpoint of the video
Possum 2 says:
maybe... i really like Nic's tights
Possum 1 says:
yeah... very formula one
Possum 2 says:
it should have been them as socialites from the 50s wearing fur and things and sliding up and down banisters... well not like Mary Poppins, i just mean lounging on old staircases
Possum 1 says:
WHAT ABOUT THEIR SPACE SUITS? I thought we shared the same vision
Possum 2 says:
um... yeah someone could knock their head and have a dream about that... i sort of imagined them singing it as obedient 50s housewives, breaking out and murdering their husbands
Possum 1 says:
ooh... even more of the cell block tango
Possum 2 says:
and they could each have a different problem (eg. alcoholism) except IN NICE CLOTHES
Possum 1 says:
YES! why don't we manage them?
Possum 2 says:
we definitely should
Possum 1 says:
Nicola, here is your harp and some cherubs
Possum 2 says:
nicola... joanna newsom is producing your debut solo album... you will wear golden dresses and a crown and carry your orb and sceptre at all times
Possum 1 says:
and don't forget your leashed tiger and your peacocks... they're carrying your train anyway
Possum 2 says:
Nicola we have a golden pegasus for you to ride around on
Possum 1 says:
and a sphinx as your PA to always give your press statements in riddles and a griffin as your bodyguard
Possum 2 says:
"Nicola has 2 legs in the morning, 3 legs in the afternoon and a peacock in her bedroom": the official statement.
