NZ's Own Top Of The Pops

excellent! more music tv! even if it's shite it'll still be good! thanks satellite... looking forward to checking it out. should provoke some interesting discussion.

wow

oh god

...

Yah! Just what we need. Top-of-the-most-watered-down-pop-crap-for-13-year-olds-with-annoying-presenters-and-bad-humour. I'd like to give Satelite TV a wedgie.

Wont it just be overrun with ridiculous rap and pop groups just as everything else to do with music, New Zealand and television is.
I doubt we'd ever get a chance to hear anything that isn't controlled by "The Man" so what's the point?

the producer - who i spoke to about this last month - said they're gonna go quite full on for getting as many 'up and coming' artists on performing live, meaning you don't necessarily have to be in the charts to get a live slot on TOTP. all you have to do is not be totally unlistenable shit and be in Auckland on a friday afternoon for the recording.
i think it's a great idea personally, cos it means artists can get saturday evening TV2 audience coverage without having to have a stupidly expensive video or a major record label plugger dangling incentives.

Am i the only person who isnt happy with this? y does the edge have to run everything in the whole world! its not fair!

is it run by the edge or just an edge dj? ummmm i mite b wrong, if i am im very sorry :(

it's just a dj who's hosting it.

a wee kanga-ru tells me that OF COURSE it will not only be top 20 because then it'd be goodshirt and elemeno p on every week... so - what's the address for submissions?!

well the edge rules...and yeah Alex Behan from the edge is gona be hosting it....yeah...dam hes leaving the edge..meh...hmmm i wonder how this show is gona be like....Nz Styles..top of the pops....wil be cool to see lives bands and all....

Fuck man.... wat are u on? who in their right mind thinks that the edge is good? duuuuuuude! u make me so angry.... how dare the fucken edge come to auckland and steal zs frequency!

Im sleepy....... personally i think it will suck!

It should be called 'Top Of the Hip Hops' coz that's what it will be. There will be token rock bands & pop artists but I think there will be more rap & hip hop.
Yawn....

well even if it has shit music on it, I think its a step in the right direction. At least a handful of kiwi rock bands are bound to get exposure, something is better than nothing I guess! I'm inclined to watch a few episodes b4 I trashing it

Oh.
Good.
God!
Alex Behan could barely host that Pepsi Chart show as it is. There's nothing wrong with him but, here's a better idea: Why don't we put Johnny Knoxville in charge of the Government and he can put Britney Spears in charge of TVNZ and, subsequently, turn it into a 24/7 porn-only channel. That sounds much more fun than Alex and the TOTP tour bus wailing on through NZ.
A blast.

But acidess has a point. Maybe we should watch it b4 we trash it. And it will be a great way for NZ bands to get exposure outside of the Rockquest and smoky bars and pubs. Like Falter, for instance. Lots of potential but nowhere to vent it.
Hello TOTP...
So, see you all on Saturday to royally destroy it?

I've watched it and something tells me that most of the peformances (Blink 182, Britney, N.E.R.D ) were taken from the U.K version. The Incubus live bit was NZ, i'm pretty sure. I think it's good that we have our own version as it showcases our own fantastic talent. But if it's our own version then why have a large part of the show taken from the U.K version? Although, i could be wrong and TOPT NZ did fly in Britney, Blink and N.E.R.D for the taping of the show but i somehow doubt it.

how does one become part of the studio audience?

by 'one' i mean ME!

haha
