Simon Webbe: Sir Alex Ferguson is a true Blue fan

2011-08-05T08:04:00.000-07:00

POP hunk Simon Webbe has revealed Sir Alex Ferguson is a huge fan of his boyband BLUE.

The 32-year-old - who is playing in next week's star-studded Celtic v Man United charity match - says the legendary Red Devils manager told him he loved the band's tunes.

Sir Alex, 69, invited United fan Simon and his daughter Alanah, now 14, to Old Trafford for a match to celebrate her 11th birthday.

They met a host of soccer stars, including former United ace Cristiano Ronaldo, who's now at Real Madrid.

Simon said: "Sir Alex is a great man and a real inspiration.

"He's been at the top of his game forever and you can't have anything but respect for that.

"I know his son Jason really well, too.

"Sir Alex invited us to a game for my daughter's birthday and introduced us to all the players and that was brilliant."

Ex-Aberdeen boss Sir Alex later told Simon his favourite Blue albums were 2001's All Rise and One Love that was released a year later.

Both records reached No1 and included chart-topping singles Too Close, If You Come Back and Sorry Seems To Be The Hardest Word, with Sir Elton John.

Simon - who is mates with United defender Rio Ferdinand - said: "Sir Alex is a massive fan of our first and second albums, he's told me that and it was really nice to hear."

The singer even claimed Portuguese superstars Ronaldo, 26, and Nani, 24, were STARSTRUCK when they met him.

He insisted: "I'm an international solo star and have a high profile in Portugal."

The heart-throb says the Blue lads are still buzzing from the Eurovision Song Contest, despite only finishing 11th last May with I Can. He said: "We came back to a proud nation. There's a stigma attached to Eurovision which is quite negative, hopefully we changed that.

"We feel we should have won because we were the best there.

"But it's political - you can't beat the Eastern Bloc.

"Germany didn't give us a single point then a day later we went to number seven in their singles chart with the song."

Simon, a striker, played for Port Vale and Stoke City before an injury at 17 ruined his chance of a professional career.

He was once approached about signing for Liverpool to play with a current Old Trafford star Michael Owen. Simon said: "The scout said he thought we'd make the perfect partnership.

"I was one of those kids who didn't have proper guidance, and the chance fell through.

"With music though, you get to touch people in a way I never thought was imaginable.

"I don't think winning the FA Cup can change a fan's life."

The glamour event - at Celtic Park on Tuesday - is raising funds for the Oxfam East Africa Famine Appeal.

A host of stars are involved, including ex-boxing champ Ricky Hatton, rapper Tinchy Stryder, Britpop legend Richard Ashcroft, and The View rockers Kyle Falconer and Pete Reilly.

Hoops gaffer Neil Lennon and club legends Henrik Larsson and Lubo Moravcik are also set to pull on their boots again.

And Simon revealed his bad-boy bandmate Lee Ryan is playing for Celtic in the match.

He added: "Everyone who knows him loves him. He's got one of the biggest hearts http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifaround."

Irish tough guy Roy Keane, who played for Celtic and Man Utd during his career, is expected to turn out for both sides.

Simon said: "Keano was a massive hero of mine so hopefully I'll get the chance to play beside him.

"It's a dream for me. And it's a win-win scenario because it's for a great cause."

Blue most popular 2011 Eurovision participant on Facebook

2011-08-05T07:50:00.000-07:00

acebook – Last year, Eurovision.tv did some research and found out who are the biggest Eurovision Song Contest stars on Facebook. This year, we did it again – we checked the data and found out exactly who is who on Facebook, out of all the former participants of Europe’s favourite TV-show! Check it out!

We gathered the data from the most popular Pages of the Eurovision Song Contest past participants from Facebook and checked out who has the most fans, like we did last year. And now, the time has come to reveal the winner….

The winner is…
Once again, Celine Dion rules the Eurovision Facebook Chart with more than 4,7 million fans on the social media website Facebook. She has more than tripled her following, from last year’s 1,1 million. Congratulations!

But she’s not the fastest growing Eurovision Song Contest star in popularity on Facebook – Arash, who represented Azerbaijan in 2009 together with Aysel and also co-wrote the Swedish Junior Eurovision Song Contest entry in 2010 – has more than 6 times the fans compared to a year ago. And thus, he’s also risen from his 18th place to a staggering 6th!

In the top 5, the biggest change is the UK representative from this year’s contest, Blue, entering the chart at number four. This also means Blue is the most successful act from this year’s Europe’s favourite TV-show.

Competition gets tough
It was much harder to get to the top 25 this year, though. If last year, the 25th placed artist had a bit over 25,000 fans then this year one had to have more than three times more fans – at least 82,359, to be precise!

By the way, this year, the top 25 former contestants of Europe’s favourite TV-show have more than 13 million fans combined! That’s more than three times up from last year’s 4,5 million fans!

See the full Eurovision Song Contest Facebook Chart below!

1. 4,701,382 Celine Dion (winner of the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest) (-)
2. 1,922,316 maNga (represented Turkey in 2010) (-)
3. 1,057,155 ABBA (winner of 1974) (-)
4. 581,770 Blue (represented the United Kingdom in 2011) (newcomer!)
5. 365,914 Lena (won Europe’s favourite TV-show in 2010 and defended her title in 2011) (-1 place)

The newcomers to the chart also meant that some of the previous participants fell out of the top 25 – this year we can’t see Lord Andrew Lloyd Webber, Elena Paparizou nor Eva Rivas in it. Maybe they’ll be back next year?

What about the 2011 participants?http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif
What about this year’s participants in general? Well, four of them already entered the all-time-participants chart, mentioned before. However, one of them just missed out from the chart.

Namely, the Albanian participant this year, Aurela Gaçe sporting almost 67,000 fans. A good start!

Check out the top 5 of this year’s contestants below!

1. 581,770 Blue (represented the United Kingdom in 2011)
2. 230,024 Dino Merlin (Bosnia and Herzegovina 1999, 2011)
3. 122,992 Eric Saade (Sweden, 2011)
4. 97,813 Jedward (Ireland, 2011)
5. 66,846 Aurela Gaçe (Albania, 2011)

Check out all the Facebook Pages of the former contestants – maybe your favourite artist can be much higher in the next chart?

Blue quotes from Norway…

2011-08-05T07:40:00.000-07:00

Blue were in Norway yesterday and here are a few quotes from an article that i managed to translate. Please note, it isn’t the full article.

– We heard about it when we were in the United States. It is cruel, says Duncan James to “Good evening, Norway.”

- I started to cry when I heard it, to be honest. I am a father now, and it hits harder, says Lee Ryan.

- Norway is such a beautiful and peaceful country, with beautiful people. The fact that someone comes and destroys it…Our deepest sympathy to the families, said Antony Costa.

Superstars have strong ties to Norway, and played among other things, their first monster hit “All Rise”, which ravaged the charts all over the world, in this country.

- The good that has come out is that the country has come together and supported each other. I’ve talked to people here in Halden about it. All feel bad, but there is so much unity, and it is missing in this world, according to Ryan.

The boys have no sympathy with accused terrorist Anders Behring Breivik, who through his lawyer has stated that he was bored in prison, and finds it hard to sit in isolation.

- He has been taken. I hope they just give him the hook. I probably should not say it, but…maintains Simon Webbe.

- I’m just glad they caught him, and hope no one follows in his footsteps, because this is a sick “motherfucker,” said Webbe.

The boys have experienced discrimination, and are horrified that anyone can go to such extreme acts Behring Breivik.

- We have all grown up with prejudice against skin color or sexual orientation. It’s in the world, it is up to you what you do with it. That how I was raised. He is extreme, and there are groups that follow it, says Simon Webbe.

- It’s too bad that there are still ongoing in 2011. It’s scary. We have children, and they need to grow up in this world. They are innocent and should not look like that. Terrorism around the world affects the innocent, and it’s disgusting. It makes you look at the world and see that it’s scary to live in. But we just have to move on with our lives, and pray to God that we are protected and that our families are safe, says Duncan.

- We hope people can hear our music and forget the horrors the three minutes of our last song. It is our contribution, says Simon.

Antony's interview in Lancashire style

2010-08-04T11:05:00.000-07:00

I’ve been biting my fingernails about interviewing Antony Costa over the past few weeks. Antony was a quarter of the boy band Blue back when I was at high school and I’m not ashamed to say that I was a huge fan. Our girlie-gang would parade along the corridors with our arms interlocked singing ‘Too Close’ at the top of our lungs.

I was mainly nervous because apart from the ladies at Freckleton Women’s Institute the most famous person I’ve interviewed is someone from Rock FM’s Press Office.

Throw a cheeky London accent in to the mix and I am practically a mess.

“I only graduated on Friday so be gentle with me!” I whimpered.

“Bless you!” Mr Costa replied, “Don’t be silly darlin’!”

Sigh.

So, Anthony told me that he’s visited Preston before with the comedy musical The Xtra Factor.

DON’T Stop Believing judge Duncan James would never want to see his daughter on the Channel 5 talent show.
The Blue singer revealed five-year-old Tianie-Finn is a huge fan of the singing and dancing reality contest.
But he wouldn’t like her to follow him into a “lonely” showbiz career.
The bisexual hunk, 32, said: “My little girl loves anything with singing and dancing.
“But it’s a hard and at times lonely business. I’d like her to do a normal job where she uses her brain.”
