I reckon if OTV don't go Top 5 then its all over for them. But with the mighty Rick Astley behind the song its going to be number 1 for the whole summer !

God forbid that

Together Forever is a top pop tune... closely followed by the passionate Cry For Help.

'Sleeping' and 'Cry For Help'

Is there one.

He also does a fantastic version of 'Vincent' by Don Mclean

Apart from the obvious (Never gonna give you up) i reckon Together Forever or She Wants To Dance With Me! Legend!

Cry For Help is my favourite too. Rick's latest album came out the end of last year and it's suprisingly(?) good.

Well done Ricky!

Definately Together Forever.

It's got to be; Never gonna give you up.

Is this a Digital Spy record for oldest thread? First post:

That's five years ago!

I only remembered Him doing Never gonna give you up and Together Forever and that he was like a 2 hit wonder. But after checking on Wikipedia I see he still going.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Astley_discography

Studio albums = 6
Compilation albums = 5
Singles = 16

More than a 2 hit wonder.

Anyway glad he won the award.

He won the award because of novelty and young kids and teens thinking it's hilarious. (due to the whole internet Rick Rolled thing which has happened to us all).

He hasn't won it based on musical genius , let's not heap praise on him.

Wash your mouth out young man!

It's very easy for people to mock Rick Astley as a SAW product who disappeared into obscurity but he is much more than that. From what I have read, he quit the music business to spend time with his family (he and his girlfriend had just had a baby daughter) but during that time he continued to write music. He wrote songs for various performers and he himself appeared on tracks by MAX and wrote soundtracks for Scandanavian films (not 'that' sort of Scandanavian film though). His German released album 'Keep it turned on' was great and his album of covers really showcased his distinctive voice.
The biggest problem with Rick Astley is we haven't heard much from his fantastic voice in the intervening years. Surely one of Britain's premier singers- puts the XFactor wannabees to shame. Personally I hope this award is a springboard to launch another album of self penned tracks.

I bought this one on 7" vinyl single. It still sounds good I think:

Move Right Out

Cant believe he won, just show the shows a sham

She Wants To Dance With Me! His finest hour IMO.

Never head of either of these before, so thank you for introducing me to them.
Love them, especially 'Move right out'.

I'm quite fond of Hold Me In Your Arms and his cover of When I Fall In Love as well as the aforementioned tracks

Rick singing Never Gonna Give You Up - live:

His voice is pretty special.

He's still going strong, I wish he'd have more chart success, he's truly a musical legend.

LOL
