Sugababes - Three (2003)
There’s a lyric in the new Sugababes album that states “it’s about the music / not the face…” which is a lie if ever I heard one. Last night I watched about two minutes of Pop Idol and in those two minutes Pete Waterman made a fat girl cry because she didn’t look the part. Simon Cowell actually demonstrated a modicum of human emotion by not sticking the knife in, reminding people that the female contestant had been ill during the week, and then agreeing that she wasn’t good enough because of her dress, because she was out-performed, because she wasn’t good enough. Whether they meant her voice, face, girth, presence or posture is unclear.
