Simon Webbe: "Did I mention I was rock?"
The 3AM Girls are all a twitter this morning as Simon Webbe re-emerges:
When we caught up with the former Blue boy at the I Am Legend premiere after-party, he hinted at a bold new musical direction.
Ah, it's nice to hear he picked up a small waiting job at a film party to keep going just before Christmas, isn't it?
Anyway... tell us more about this bold musical direction, then:
"I'm going to be taking a few more risks," teased Simon, 28, before naming Foo Fighters, The Enemy and Arctic Monkeys as his fave bands.
How funny - Webbe's been on the music scene for six years, making solo records for nearly half of that, and yet all of a sudden we discover that he doesn't even like the stuff he's been producing. (In common, it's fair to say, with the rest of the record-buying public.)
Still, it's true that it's going to be something of a risk for him to suddenly try and reinvent himself as Dave Grohl - it's an aspiration on a par with a vol-au-vent hoping to turn itself into a steak and kidney pudding.

That's quite harsh. I'm sure even in a rock band, there's a place for a guy at the back uttering an occasional 'uh huh'.
Eh? "I'm going to be taking a few more risks", before name-checking Foo Fighters and Arctic Monkeys? Because those guys absolutely tanked this year, didn't they? Isn't that like saying "I was going to cook turkey this year, but instead I've decided to take a risk and go with... Iceland Oven-Ready Goose!"
Surely a bigger risk would be to pick a direction which the British public currently had very little interest in, like mediaeval nose-flute music, or a Blue reunion.
