The Panda Pops Award for Least Interesting Comeback!

In many ways, it feels like the end of an era. But in all other ways, we're bloody glad to be at the end of this week because it wasn't nearly as much fun as we thought it might be. Three of the blonde girls from Hollyoaks are planning to sue us for stress as a result of being detained "against their will". I promptly informed them that I received much greater pain from watching them trying to act, but that didn't go too well. Everyone's got their coats on and they're standing by the door, so there's only one thing left to do: announce the winner of the Panda Pops Award for Least Interesting Comeback.

And the winner is...
Dido!

Well, who else could it have been? With such a singularly uninspiring single as "White Flag" to greet us again, Dido blew all the competitors out of the water. We here at Panda Pops were totally underwhelmed by it, and frankly wished she'd go away again. Although hopefully there'll be another twenty-year gap between albums if we're lucky.

Dido says: Great! I can write a song about this, and sell it to Britney Spears and make lots of moolah, no matter how rubbish it is.

Honourable mention goes to: Gareth Gates. His comeback wasn't that uninteresting in itself, but his fans didn't seem to give a rat's ass.

Well, that's it, kiddos. No more until we decide to do it again, which may be never. Now, if you'll excuse us, the celebrities are clamouring at the door to be let out....hey, no wait! Stop that! Behave! Avril Lavigne, PUT THAT DOWN! And don't think I can't see you over there, June Sarpong. Oi. OI!!
