That's cos she's shite.
Not that I consider myself in any way a representative of 'ukhh', or even a 'ukhh head', but I remember seeing Sov a good few years back now, and I thought she had mad potential. Whether that potential's since been harnessed to any effective degree is moot, but most of the evidence would suggest otherwise.
The really telling thing about this clip is how well it illustrates the reality of the grind for most people in the music game, whether their chosen idiom is rap, rock, pop, whatever. The people in the audience really couldn't give a two-bob fuck how tough your life is; as far as they're concerned, you're there to entertain, not bitch about how your schedule is crushing the life out of you. And if you happen to fall to bits onstage whilst wishing you could bin it all and go back to doing open mic nights in East London, you can now pretty much guarantee that someone's going to catch all that on video and whack it up on Youtube. It's a cold, cold world.

aaaargh! He's right! I can't deny it.
Also, if this comment on the website isn't irony, I'd take her side any day of the week.
Somebody get this chick a record contract. Oh wait...
Take the Test
I think I would have scored higher if I understood what the hell the questions were asking me - what's 'own brand'?
yeabutnobutyeabutnobutyeabutnobutyea
I scored 11 %.
Its the 'potnoodle' that got me in!!
Yeah, this paragraph sorta proves my above point. One of the downsides of the internets is that they've allowed pretty much any gobshite with a high-speed connection to become A Critic. This is fine when the people writing/blogging/whatever are in possession of functioning critical faculties, or have something interesting, original and witty to say and the ability to put that across. But for far too much of the time, you end up with whiny, vinegary, cooler-than-thou bullshit like that. I mean, "tastemakers"!? GTFOOHWTBS.
I don't think Sov is any more deserving of sympathy than anyone else on a similar grind, but when this kind of pissy sniping is actually given some weight (Hi, Pitchfuck!), it can be seriously damaging to developing artists of all stripes at the precise point where they need time and room to grow and reach their own level.

In this context, "own brand" would mean a supermarket's own brand of a popular food or drink. So you might buy, oh, I dunno, Target cola (if there is such a thing) rather than Coke or Pepsi, not because you like the taste, but purely because it's cheaper.
I don't drink pop, but I think I just made it to 50% still.
Q) 2 chavs are in a car, there???s no music on, who is driving?
A) The Police
I did not know until very recently when I started watching Little Britain. Nothing flattering to be sure. I'm sure the UK folks can define it nicely.
It's the UK equivalent of "trailer trash", and has become shorthand for anything worn, consumed or celebrated by working-class/poor people. The people who usually use it as the term of abuse it's become are more often the kind of well-off, well-educated middle-class professional types. The sort who'll move into down-at-heel parts of town en masse because they're "rootsy" or "urban" and who, six months later, band together in "residents groups" to close down all the clubs and bars that drew them to the area in the first place because of all the noise. You might know these people as "hipsters".
pssssshhhh....i got that chav ish at 28%
i am curious though if my enjoyment of Stella Artois made me more or less chav?
Oh my god - too much. Like all the best clueless media
reporting, they use as their sources satirical material
like an "Are You an EMO" online quiz, and that new book
that just came out ... those are jokes, and they act like
they are factual. That shit was hilarious/pathetic.
I have to admit, I never thought Emo would be seen as
a "dangerous trend" - too fucking funny.
I'm 24 percent, but some of the questions made no sense, so I just took a wild stab at answering.
(not so)Funny thing is, I had at least three friends when
I was teenager in the mid-80's that had issues with cutting
themselves, so there is nothing "new" or "trendy" about it.
