I adore the 60s girl groups, especially the mighty Shangri-Las but Lulu always made me cold. In saying that everyone knows The Man With The Golden Gun is the best Bond theme tune:
"He has a powerful weapon..."
Or "Who will he bang?"

In the 60's Lulu was fantastic. Especially the records that she made with Mickey Most. She was pushed down the MOR, family entertainment route which has enabled her to have e 40 year career but in doing so people have forgotten what brilliant records she made and what a great voice she had.
She should have been marketed in the way that Joss Stone has been these days because she had a voice just as good as many of her soul singing contemporaries, but instead the years of Freemans catalogues and panto's took there toll and now her brilliant 60's work is mostly forgotten, except for the egregious Shout and Boom-Bang- A-Bang which whilst novelty fun hardly adds anything to her legacy.
Check out any of these to see how great she was.........
Love Love's To Luv Love (Her pinnacle) To Sir With Love Boat That I Row, Dreary Nights And Days The Peaceful Heart Boy Without Him Man Who Sold The World, Man With The Golden Gun,

Hey! Leave off Lulu, she's not so bad. In defence of Lulu (I think I've mentioned this lot before, but ah well)
1. She has a great, distinctive raspy soul voice, as has been mentioned already. Shout's surely one of the most recognized vocals ever? Lots of the 60s stuff is, as has been mentioned, very good. I love The Boat That I Row!
2. She's a grammy nominated songwriter (for I Don't Wanna Fight, as made famous by Tina Turner)
3. Who else has collaborated with Take That AND David Bowie? She makes the most of her celeb acquaintances I agree, but somehow I doubt she's slept her way to the top. Elton John seems to be helping her out a lot nowadays and I don't think that can be lying back and thinking of Scotland based
4. She was the first british female singer to have an american no 1, with To Sir With Love.
5. I Could Never Miss You More Than I Do, an 80s song which flopped over here but was a hit in America, is fantastic. Listen to it and you will never hate Lulu again.

4. She was the first british female singer to have an american no 1, with To Sir With Love. Sorry to be a pedant, but she wasn't. Vera Lynn was. In fact she was the first British atrist to ever have a US No1. 'Auf Wiedersein Sweetheart' in 1952 I think. Petula Clark also had number ones in US with Downtown and My Love before Lulu.

Her version of The Man Who Sold The World is the best one too. It's so so good. She should cover more bowie stuff - I'd love to hear her Ashes to Ashes or Under Pressure.

For so many reasons: 1.) Thinks she is so young and sexy 2.) Can't sing 3.) Is ashamed of Eurovision 4.) Got into an argument with my dad in the 60s. 5.) Would duet with a horse in order to get back into the Top 5 (Those who do are generally forced into it by their management whom they subsequently sack e.g. Ronan). 6.) Publicity whore. Oh my goodness I CANT BELIVE U SAID ALL THOSE THINGS ME AND MY FRIEND KNOW LU AND SHE IS NON OF THE ABOVE U SHOULD KEEP URE MOUTH SHUT THAT IS SOMEONES MUM URE TALKING ABAOUT HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF SOMEONE WAS SAYING ALL THAT ABOUR YOUR MUM EH AND SHE HAS NEVER HAD A FACE LIFT IN HER LIFE OK JUST BECAUSE SHE GOT INTO AN ARGUMENT WITH URE DAD BIG DEAL DNT PEOPLE GET INTO ARGUMENTS AT ALL I HATE YOU AND SO WILL LULU SHE IS SO HAPPY IN HER LIFE AND SHES PROBABLY LAUGHING AT YOU ALL FOR SAYING THSES THINGS BECAUSE SHE WONT GIVE 2 SHITS ABOUT YOU AND YOUR SAD LITTLE LIVES GOODBYE

I nearly passed out reading that.

I could be a celebrity and you wouldn't know it (it is the internet after all) or I could be a millionaire.

Lay off her shes done nothing wrong. I don't know about that, having her face hooked over the back of her ears was pretty bad. So was that 'Red Alert' show. That certainly wiped the smile off the back of her neck.

Hey, I was one of the token Lulu fans, but I'm not sure I want to be foolish-by-association with this shower of clowns. However, I do find a certain poetry in this line: who cares about punctuation when your mad I really like it's punk feel and therefore it shall be this week's catchphrase. ohmigod i cant buhleeeve you said chris wasnt famusss he is sooooo famusss and he is very rich and better lookin than your dad like if you even know oo ee is

erm I wasnt talking about her tv show, you were. Seems thats the reason u hate her so much. Lulus achieved so much in her career, all goes to prove thats why shes still here doing what she does best & with you - jealousy springs to mind.

I love the way over zealous fans assume that just because one is not famous they are therefore deeply unhappy, which is of course why they attack famous people.
Some people can be successful and (gasp!) happy without being a singer or actor.
As for Lulu, she doesn't bother me that much, but she does when she's on a random TV show screeching along to Shout. That's what I call trading on past glories.

trying to be something your not witch is something lulu never has and never will ! Apart from trying to be 35, I think Harley Street would beg to differ with you.

Do you think the quip "Lulu's had so much botox you could cum on her face and she wouldn't be able to tell" is amusing enough for inclusion in a comedy script?
