Lee Ryan through his antics on CBB has put Blue back in people's minds.The other band members have jumped on the bandwagon big time and have been tactful not to condone his behaviour.The amount of press coverage,interviews,blogs,online mentions etc they have received is priceless.I know they are supporting Wet Wet Wet on tour soon.I will be surprised if they dont release new music on the back of this.

Blue were touring last year with their new album - I saw them when they came to my uni. After two of them were declared bankrupt last year, they probably need the work and the publicity. But they seemed like nice guys, and took the time to meet me and my friends after the gig so more power to them!

Wellcome to DS. It will work in their favour and the rest of the band have played it extremely well.

Agreed any publicity is good whether it's good or bad. People have been talking about Lee for weeks.
Just look at celebrities like Miley and Justin Bieber despite bad press or anything they've done it just makes them more popular.

Try telling that to Gerald Ratner!

The publicity around "Elephantgate" didn't seem to do Blue much good in the US.

They seemed like quite a nice bunch of guys. They looked loads older than I remember them though (scary, they're about my age)...

Did anyone see that magic programme where Blue got tricked by that young magician(I forget his name). On a fake photo shoot they watched what they thought was one of the members roll over the side of a cliff in a caravan.

It was quite a sick joke I thought, but very funny

I'd disagree that this picture of Antony Costa was great publicity http://i1.mirror.co.uk/3am/celebrity...adb-591962.jpg

One Love - in the indusry

One Love - for publicity

One Love - for a creep like Lee

One Love for Hypocrisy

If his leg was hanging off they'd all still crowd round him singing it

Any remote chance to claw back that banal cash cow

That one was different now any publicity seems to work for most celebrities they end up more liked/His twitter followings have gone up a lot too. He was at like maybe 120,000ish something followers now he's at 190,000ish followers.

This band are a bunch of nonentities. They are the ideal celebrity juice panellists.
