Buck’s Fizz.How many more groups do you reckon are like these guys?
A duo that couldnt sing, didnt write their own music and were basically there to look good in the music videos.
Pet shop boys and Depeche Mode, once they set the sequencer away, they're just a karaoke turn really.
Both are better than anything in your entire collection and you know it.

Chomp.
Put ya lip away man, If you enjoy listening to karaoke music, that's OK, there's no need to be defensive about it, listen to what you want mate, that's perfectly alright.True though.
In fact, Milli Vanilli are probably better than anything in your collection![]()
Don't you remember me, shite song and shite movieSimple Minds.
Jim Kerr couldn't shout coal down a passage.
Slightly different scenario but Plastic Bertrand didn't sing Ça Plane Pour Moi or any of the first two albums but sang on subsequent ones.
More bizarrely, though, Bernard Jewry, (Alvin Stardust) was in the right place at the right time twice! He was roadie for a band called Shane Fenton and The Fentones who had sent demos off to the BBC. The BBC took a while to get in touch, wanting to play their demos but in the meantime, the real Shane Fenton had died aged just 17. Jewry stepped in for him and they had a couple of minor hits.
About 12 years later a bloke by the name of Peter Shelley wrote and recorded a song under the name of Alvin Stardust, which started to climb the charts and when Top Of The Pops wanted to put the song on, Shelley decided he didn't want to be a pop star so contacted his manager who also managed Jewry and they created the Alvin Stardust image. He mimed to Shelley's recording on TOTP then sang on all of the subsequent Stardust hits.
If you listen to Coo Ca Choo, it's a completely different voice to the likes of Red Dress.
Luckiest bloke in the music industry, twice over!![]()
Must admit I hated my periods but then I had endometriosis- something else a man can't getI was gonna mention Plastic Bertrand: the second most famous Frenchman after Hercule Poirot.
Thought that would have been in the video made of the song ?There is a lot of illusion in recorded music.
So famously French that they were both Belgian.I was gonna mention Plastic Bertrand: the second most famous Frenchman after Hercule Poirot.
