She wuz robbed!



The online poll on the official Popstars - The Rivals website shows 33% think Javine was the best performer on Saturday night, with the next highest figure being 19%. In truth, she wasn't the best (that was possibly Sarah), and it wasn't one of her best performances either, but she's still the best singer of the six girls who were left. I think it shows that previous performances count for nothing on Popstars, and you'll be judged on one song, but even so, Cheryl or Kimberley should have been going home, not Javine. I think she may end up counting her blessings though. She's the only one who could make it solo, and now she has a chance, rather than the six months in the limelight that the stupidly named Girls Aloud will have before they implode. Besides, Javine is taller than all the others. It would have made the photos look funny.

PS. The girls' single is a new song called 'Sound Of The Underground'. It's three minutes of them making rumbling noises, while singing 'mind the gap' over the top. The b-side is a cover of East 17's 'Stay Another Day', itself a Christmas number one.

PPS. The first 'product' from any 'Rivals' contestant hits the shops today. It's the Cheeky Girls! Their video is fab! And the song's annoyingly catchy, in a Whigfield kinda way. Will it beat Robbie and Eminem, also releasing singles today?
