The death of humanity

Tragedy befell the human race today. Something so bad, it's almost unmentionable. And whose fault is it? The British music buyers. And we always thought that the Americans were the most tasteless.

Earlier today it was confirmed that "Untouchable" was #11 in the UK. That's just horrid isn't it? One of the more amazing songs of recent times, peaking right outside the Top 10. It's like dying then standing right outside the pearly gates, never to be permitted entry. Untouchable, of all songs. That's like denying Mother Theresa or Gandhi from having a peaceful afterlife.

But then again, maybe we're all just reacting too negatively to this catastrophe. So what if it was merely a #11 for the goddesses. Sure, "Untouchable" might be the lowest charting Girls Aloud song to date, but does Nadine really care?

The answer is yes, of course she does. She's probably weeping into her pillow at this moment, having locked up Sarah and Brian in the dungeons for screwing up the whole thing by stealing Nicola's bits in the intro of the radio edit. Cheryl would be staring out of the window of her bedroom distraught, while Nicola would be in the kitchen looking at the knives, noticing how tempting they've become. Kimberly would be smiling in the garden, chasing a squirrel or something similar, oblivious to the entire disaster.

Let's relive the pain one more time.

And that, ladies and gentlemen, charted at number 11. Nobody shall go unpunished. We repeat, nobody.

I love this track! I can't believe it didn't go Top10, I really hoped to get there the following week. It's sad, so sad, but Girls Aloud will stop as a gropu after the tour..so I think they don't care. Despite of this, I'll travel to London next week to see them in Wembley for the 1st time. I will not sleep the night before, so nervous!
