Gareth Gates Covers Blue Monday !!!!!

Last night Gareth Gates covered Blue Monday - the acapella version. Sounds like he got a bit stuck with the drum machine bit though at the start, and there were no lyrics or any melody :D

was this in your house, at your local pub or what?

You daft sod!

sh*t. isn't this one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse? 1) war, 2) famine, 3) death, and 4) gareth gates singing blue monday?

That should be classed deadly sin no.8 !

Is he one of those guys who only covers other people's stuff?

he was the 17-year-old, gap-toothed, stuttering runner-up of pop idol last year (the show american idol is based on) and is almost as omnipresent as princess diana used to be--he's even mentioned in the 'retro' booklet!

i voted for will.

IS HE?!??! good god that indeed has tarnished my Retro booklet forever if that is the case

Its nearly as good as his 2 hour version of the Beach Boys' Barbara Anne

heh heh & as for his version of changes by david bowie....

Talking of Blue Monday covers, about a year ago did anybody see that BBC tv impressionist Alistair McGowan do the Kilroy/Blue Monday sketch. Each week he'd been doing a sketch as Robert Kilroy Silk who usually starts his programme by asking some messed up person "How does it feel?" but on the final sketch he launched into a cover of Blue Monday, prancing about his audience. After not believing what I was seeing I laughed my head off but surely 99% of his mainstream audience were sitting at home saying "I don't get this, it's not funny". Totally bizarre moment.

Yep, remember that!!

Was quite surreal to hear for a NewOrder fan, but im sure the vast majority of the UK public at least recognise Blue Monday in some form or another.

have checked & gareth is in the retro booklet! he's mentioned by john mcready on the page showing hooky reclining & drinking from a bottle of evian at some festival

how you remembered that is beyond me...
