Hands off my Detonator!
|
 Well well well...
There really couldn't be anything more exciting than someone from the now extinct television show E Street making a record. Seeing as there have been a minimum of three (that's 1 - 2 - 3 - count it) "actors" turned "singers" from the show, one stands out as the most iconic.
Melissa Tkautz had a string of top 5 hits in Australia including the phenomenally huge "Read My Lips" (where she begged us to remove our hands from her "detonator") and the blatantly stupid, yet somewhat still rather big "Sexy is the word".
Her debut album sold reasonably well, and the third single "Skin To Skin" made the top 20. Then she did Paradise Beach, a television advert that either promoted impotency, or was for a treatment (I never really was sure), became marginally anorexic, was close to being labeled African American how brown her tan became, and appeared once or twice on the camp Beauty & The Beast. And we never heard from her again. Roll to 2005, Melissa is "back!", with what her "people" (i.e.: her manager) are calling the "comeback of the year!", etc etc. This proposed "comeback", is actually a cover of the Sheila E's 1980's club classic "Glamorous Life" (which was once covered by US Popstars group Eden's Crush).
After finally hearing a minute clip of the single, ladies and gentlemen, expect something very interesting... oh and the video clip is apparently all over television, with Video Hits and RAGE both playing it in the previous weekends shows. The clip promises to be as shit as her previous three, and the new album (!!!!!!!) is set to land on our shelves by the end of November. You can download a 30 second sample by right clicking here. Also, apparently we're promised a 2005 remix of "Sexy Is The Word". OH. MY. GOD.
If we can accept someone like Tina Cousins to make a comeback - and do it successfully, surely we can welcome open armed one of our own - however shithouse it may be? Only time will tell...
