I dunno, I find this track 'Don't Play Nice' really catchy but doubt she will become a long-runner.

What's your opinion?

The song is good, the words are fine, the beat is good but her singing/rapping is pants.
Am I the only one who thinks she's a lot like Lady Sovereign?

I reaalt does look like one big laugh, i will be very shocked if it turns out that she is serious. Isn't she the sister in the jasper carrot prog, the one with the boy in the wheel chair.

Thats what my friend said. Didn't watch it myself but sounds like she's just a regular drama school wannabe!! Not, as her image leads us to believe, a rebellious street style teen!!

(I still like the song though!!!lol )

Work this one out, I wasn't sure who you were talking about, but suspected I knew after seeing her on CD:UK (couldn't remember her name though). So I googled, turns out it was who I thought. But her site turns out to be http://www.verbalicious.cjb.net/ , unyet it claims to be verbalicious.com? But www.verbalicious.com goes to some other site? Bonkers, unless they are in the process of buying it. Guess whether they folk out for the .com depends on how well she charts .

I seem to remember I didn't like the song that much, agree with the other poster, that it all seemed a bit naff (or should I say wack? ), and she's 18 but looks about 12. Whether the kids will be down with it, who knows, else it could be one of the shortest record contracts ever.

I saw her on CD:UK when Dave Berry asked her to rap some stuff for him...it was awful! She stalled and turned red, the white a ghostly shade of white and she sounded like Margaret Thatcher stoned at a rave!!

TERRIBLE! she lost all credibility there!

She got pregnant

Someone mentioned the PopWorld interview with Verbalicious - that had me laughing out loud Seeing the look on Simon and Miquita's faces when she said she loved Shakespeare's 'cay-unce' was priceless

Her real name is Natalia Keery-Fisher. She was in "All about me" with Jasper Carrot and Meera Syal and the boy in a wheelchair. Click HERE . An underrated show which I enjoyed, though I have been a Jasper Carrot fan for 30 years. (Yes, I know I am a sad old crusty now, you don't have to tell me )

The song? Rubbish, but then it isn't exactly aimed at a 52 year old Bruce Springsteen fan. I can't see her appealing to more than a young teenage audience.

The actress? Cute, but hard to tell how good she would be in a serious drama. I think she might succeed if she sticks to cute and sassy teenage roles for a while.

Erm, Ms Dynamite is in a different class altogether. I think she's gonna be back this year with a new album. She's pretty well regarded and also has performed at benefit concerts for Africa in South Africa, hence the reason why she was on Band Aid 20.

I know, weird comparison – you only have to hear BOO to know what a wicked Garage mc Ms. Dynamite is/was.

Verbalicious is naff, she claims that studying Shakespeare inspired her to “rap” vanilla ice stylee.

The name's a bit of a giveaway isn't it? I knew she was going to be awful just by her name.....and I was right .

Damn, I must have missed Popworld that week. Although I did see the one with the guy who didn't know what a brassiere was. Erm, I forget his name already, has he been dropped yet?

I don't know, who was he? Any clues? I only ever catch PopWorld if I'm channel surfing, so I think I was lucky to see the Verbalicious interview

Erm, solo artist, english (I think), pretty boy, white, long hair, sings piano ballad type stuff I think. Kinda stuff I'm not very interested in . I think he's had a hit or two in the top 15.

Jamie Cullum? He's a bit of a moron. But he's not pretty. Could be Michael Buble, but he's American (I think). And he's not the type to go on PopWorld I'm struggling....

^ Tyler James? He's got long hair!


Verbalicious: I honestly thought it was a joke when I saw her video on The Hits: does she really look like that?!?! And how has she done all these duets with the big name R&B stars?!? Catchy song, end of.

Bozz

Nope, neither of them. I find Jamie alright. I'll do a google, he's maybe been quoted.
