[Chris]

Aled spent all day yesterday in the Fame Academy. He was in with a load of journalists and said they were all very nice people, though they do have trouble sleeping at night. In the final performance of ‘Relight My Fire’ he forgot the words and so was on probation or what ever you call it. The other students had to chose from him and a boss at the Daily Star, and he was feeling quite confident as he got on well with everybody. That was until he got voted out 6 votes to 1, and was the first to leave.

Paddy O’Connell was on but I missed the interview, sorry.

Chris - And then your Charlie, cos your big.
Charlie - Yes.
Chris - Your a big Charlie, a right big Charlie, is your cap on at a jaunty angle?
Charlie - It is.

Chris - Do you play lead guitar?
Charlie - No, me and James kinda share it.
Chris - Oh right so this must be James.

James - Yes its my real voice.
Chris - God, aint it high!, I never noticed that before, so you play guitar also?
James - and sing.
Chris - So who plays drums
Matt - Charlie plays them in the studio
Charlie - But we have a drummer that comes with us called Gareth, hes awesome, he doesnt do the promo
Chris - I dont know what that means, whats the promo?
Charlie - You know like this, on the radio.
Chris - Listeners dont know what this means.
Charlie - Oh right.
Chris - They think you are on because you like us, they dont know that you are plugging something, they think its love. You gotta learn these things. So youve done very well.
Matt - Its going all right man
Chris - You have had a number 3, a number 2 and a number 1... so whats next? the next one then cant chart, it has to be zero right.
Charlie - I said that earlier, if it doesnt chart its a good thing (try telling that to the record company lads)
Chris - Unless you have another number one, then a number 2 and then a number 3.
Charlie - Well that would be special. We are actually in the Guinness Book of Records for 3, 2 and 1!
Chris - Are you really? Has no band done that before?
Charlie - Nope
Chris - Really?
Charlie - Yeah, thought somebody would have but they havent.
Chris - Thats quite cool, we like your records, This is our producer over there, by the way, that one of you referred to as greyhound once.
James - I know, I thought it was some weird nickname, I somehow thought I was wrong.
Chris - So that was you, James?
James - Yeah
Chris - So you thought he would have been called greyhound, why do you think he would have been called greyhound?
James - I didnt see the paper cos we had to do this thing.
Chris - But obviously your a big fan of the show.
James - Right, big fan
Charlie - Love the show man, listen to it all the time.
Chris - Your lying arent you?
Charlie - No, in my car, im listening along.
Chris - Not at home though?
Charlie - No, just in the car
Chris - Why does everyone say that, you know they say I havent listened to you all week cos I havent been in the car and I say you have a radio in the house or a walkman, whats wrong with you. ok, so I think you guys make really good records.
Matt - Cheers mate.
Chris - I think if you were american, you would be more credible.
Matt - Totally!!!
James - Thats very very true.
Chris - And I think if Sum 41 or Good Charlotte had recorded You said no, all the cool bandwagon jumpers would go yeah thats great but because it was Busted, its easy foR them to slate it but I think they secretly liked You Said No, Crash and Burn or whatever it was called.
Charlie - Thank you very much.
Chris - See.
Dave - Interesting musical point you made there.
Chris - I think its true though.
Charlie - You know Avril Lavigne is basically the same as us apart from the fact that shes American.
Dave - And a girl and shes Canadian
Chris - Now if she was from Ipswich and she did sk8er boi, everyone would go who does she think she is, skater boy! skateboarding, whats she talking about, its rubbish. how old are you all?

Charlie - Yeah, I think I may have grown a bit this year.
Chris - Is it all in proportion, have you got long... legs?
Charlie - Never really measured my legs but probably.

James - What people didnt know was that we had the words sellotaped to the mics.
Chris - Dont give that away, thats showbiz, mind you, your allowed, when was that out in the charts, were you even born?
Matt - I didnt realise there was so many words to it though.
Chris - Its not an instrumental dude, they have like choruses.. and verses. Lets see One Big Sunday.
Charlie - Im looking forward to Electric Six.
Chris - Kelly Rowland is headlining, well shes on last.
Charlie - Why cant Electric Six headline?
Chris - Or you, Daniel Bedingfield will be performing.

Dave - Hes talented but hes a wrongun.
Chris - Hes not all there.
