They used to be cool.
On Ross' show they were awful.
Really, really fucking awful.
There isn't a single good thing to say about that performance.

Wow I havent seen that show, but if the fans around here found that performance appalling then I can only imagine how truly ghastly it must have been...
Did anyone record/encode it for us stateside folks?

If you think it's going to be so ghastly, why on earth would you want to see it 
I may be in a minority, who knows, but I really enjoyed the J Ross performance. I think it would seem that New Order are going to be dammed by some regardless (can't please everyone all of the time. Some complain when they perform live, others when they mime!!) so I personally think they should just enjoy themselves and go out and do what they want. People have a choice whether or not they want to watch/listen.

Ha ha - Good point!
You're certainly not the only one, Julie. I thought it was great.
I particularly liked the moody stares at the end!

One time doesn't do it...
They were ace on Jimmy Kimmel, maybe it's Ana Matronic that caused all this? ;)

Because he revels in any news of NO gaffs or perceived drops in quality of performance. He believes contemporary NO is absolute rubbish and spends his time here labouring this point. No one's quite sure why!

Me too.
Unfortunately (or mabye fortunately) cos I was out on Friday I had to choose between taping Wossie or the final of "Playing It Straight" on Channel 4 (class reality TV!). The latter won out so I didn't see their performance.
Met my mate on Saturday night though who said it was so cringeworthy that he had to turn over. And he's a fan! What was so bad about it?

I had him earmarked as a fruit from day one. I mean, what sort of lad gives it, "Awight, darling, I reeaallly fancy you, you're bloody luvverly, gertcha!"
Okay, so she fell for it!
Quality TV.

Not as good as Wossy though.
And now you won't know the new Barney-dance!
I enjoyed it!
1: Anna was more off-key than Bernard - which was a nice change
2: & everyone else in the house was asleep - so I had NO INTERUPTIONS
3: It was New Order - on the telly - kinda live!
Good enough for me:D
Wasnt that bad! At least they made an effort singing live. Alot of bands would have mimed. My only gripe is that they didnt get interviewed.

To be honest the whole lot of 'em looked bent to me! The best of it was her reaction when she realised she'd ballsed it up. Bitter doesn't begin to describe it. Silly cow.
I'm going to put my hand up here and say that I enjoyed the Rossie performance too. Apart from Ana not sounding the best, I've no complaints.
