Tulisa

[kingrikk]

I just said "oh god" and turned the radio off.

[DarroM]

I didn't expect it to be Tulisa after what's been happening with her life recently with the sex tape etc.

[MrAndee]

i know you lot have hated my use of the word 'random' in the past.
but surely that is a perfect word for this situation.

t..tulisa?

[GarethH]

I bet they'll be keeping her away from the texts screen this week! I bet some brutal ones will be being sent in!

[dimtimjim]

Well, who seen dat comin'..?! I certainly didn't. Looking forward to seeing her new video on the show later in the week...

Could be interesting, we'll see how it goes. Nice to 'ave another 'bird' in the studio tho....

[Samii]

Someone who releases a sex tape to get publicity for her brand new single (Which Chris has only played once?). Now Chris is giving her even more publicity. I was really looking forward to having the week off and hearing the full show too. One positive would be that I got up immediately to turn it off, so sign her up permenantly and I'll never be late again!

[Candyman]

Thank god I have a 3 day week (today and friday off) hearing her all week sounds like torture. I wish we had Olly all week now he seem a lot more bearable compared to her now. And with this sex tape stuff was she really the best person to have on the station at the moment?!

[bmstinton93]

They better be putting her on webcam all week...

[bmstinton93]

Let's hope she does a better job of this...

[McGuinness-89]

What a bizzare choice. Hope she doesn't blow it.

[The Deadly]

She sucks.........

[MrAndee]

What a bizzare choice. Hope she doesn't blow it.

By the looks of that sex tape, she can't blow anything.

[The Deadly]

Never thought I'd say this but I'd rather it was David Walliams.......

[chrisjames]

My money was on Dappy.
She could be quite a handful ..they might regret having her on the show all week...How is Chris going to avoid referring to ..that incident...

Chris will get bored of her by 9:46 this morning and will hopefully ignore her for the rest of the week. I normally will back the show up in any situation but this was an awful decision made by someone at Radio 1. If they wanted to have a female as the replacement then get someone likeable and credible.

[dimtimjim]

Well, you can debate if its for the right reasons or not, but she is certainly 'current' and 'target audience'...

I don't think its a bad R1 decision at all. You may not like her yourself, but I see the thought process. As with the Olly comments, they were never going to please EVERYONE, so why not Tulisa?!

S'all ok so far to my ears.

[chrisjames]

Tulisa look s like she hasn't got a clue whats going on.She's just sitting there with a vacant look on her face. She's a perfect replacement for Dave!

[The Deadly]

Chris already looks bored on the webcam. Would it have killed them to have Dom do Dave's role and have a different guest person every day or something?

I take that point but there are people out there who are also target but far less polarizing. Jessie J, Adele are two names I think of.

[chrisjames]

do you think dave will reciprocate and fill in for Tulisa sometime.? that could be interesting...

[chrysostom]

Adele is far too busy being the hottest female artist in the world right now.

Jessie J is SO annoying. She comes across on the voice as an attention seeking, insecure child who makes everything about her. I couldn't have listened if she was on the show, whereas Tulisa has given a good representation of herself on X Factor, and seems much less objectionable.

Jessie J on the voice is so frustrating to watch.

[Emmy]

I would love to know whether she was booked before or after her tape came out, and if it was before (as I would guess it was) was there a mass debate in the R1 offices about whether to cancel her or not once the story emerged? I think she's an odd choice, though can't say whether she's any good or not because I haven't heard her yet. I'm not holding out much hope for her, and as I have the next two and half weeks off, it's perfect timing for me to avoid both Tulisa and most of Mills. Happy Days.

[McGuinness-89]

Just listening to her now, ironic she came in talking like she had plums in her mouth.

[McGuinness-89]

was there a mass debate

More than one if they're anything like me...

Exactly. I have no interest in her whatsoever, and when she did this my indifference turned to scorn - but having said that, if she is entertaining on the radio I will listen. I didn't hear her this morning, Olly was still on when I left for work, but I'll no doubt catch her in the week.
