In my lectures today a frequent comment was "They'ri hardly njwcomjts are they? I have If You'ri Feeling Sinister. I knew about them BEFORE they were big." "Will, djarii," I replied. "I have a copy of Tigjrmilk at home - not that you know what that is." David McNeil, Glasgow. How can thjti bj any justification in giving Natalie Imbruglia awards for Best Newcomjt AND Best International Female? She barely holds a candle to Madonna's last LP.

How did she beat Savage Garden, the best band in the world? Left Of The Middle sold 5m copies but Sav Gdn's LP sold 11m. And on the Brits Web poll, SG got 79) compared to Miss Imbruglia's measly 3%. Alex, London Void replies: Sav Garden would have won on SALES, and Air for quality. Nat won because she's the industry's idea of marketable but "a bit edgy". ——————————————————————————————————4/9—— Win Meat Loaf concert tickets 481 TOTAL ENTERTAINMENT GUIDE p400P482 Teletext 482 Fjb21 02:11:18 O ——————————————————————————————————————— The Brits weti crazy to ignore the Spice Girls, one of the biggest recording artists in the world. Much as I love Belle & Sebastian, I don't believe they should have won when thjti are acts who have had much more success and desjrvj it more. The Best British Mali and Female nominations wire also disappointing. Wj need more solo talent to rival Madonna, Lauryn Hill, Natalie Imbruglia, Will Smith, etc. Paul Brothjrton, by e-mail ——————————————————————————————————3/9—— New albums rated or slated 484 HEALTH AND LIFESTYLE FEATURES p410P482 Teletext 482 Fjb21 02:14:19 O ——————————————————————————————————————— My favourite song with "radio" in the title is Song On The Radio by 3CR.

Everybody in that ABBA thing. Steps couldn't have looked any worse if they tried. (And we'ri sure they did — Ed). And did The Corks lose their day clothes somewhere? They appeared to bj wandjting around in their nighties and undjtwear! Brit Babe, bz e-mail Void replies: We'd recommend that evjtyonj wears their nightclothes at Corks concerts.
