We wept like little girls when this came through on the wire. Blue, the most extraordinary pop band of the last thirty years, used to mime on their records. Lee Ryan, you swine, you’ve killed the dream for all of us.
Lee Ryan (CDs) used to be in Blue. He currently sits, trousers round his ankles, at number nine in The Chart with his debut single Army of Lovers.
Ryan grew less impressed with his miming former band during the latter months, claiming it all went to pot as the ‘man’ started to take his cut and dream diminished.
"The satisfaction in the job had gone and doing it for the money was too shallow," he admitted.
"The reason I left Blue was that I wasn’t giving it my all or concentrating on it, I believed I should have been giving it 100%".
A solo career is a beacon for those slipping down pop’s stagnant plughole. It’s a reprieve, a second chance to show you alone were the reason for your band’s success, and that one day they’ll be shining your shoes.
Lee Ryan would dismiss such an accusation out of hand. We know this because we know everything. Plus Ryan’s full of week old tripe.
Though this doesn’t make us disbelieve his next statement, it’s too juicy for that, more wonder why he’s chosen now – directly after his single tumbled four positions down in the Top 40 – to tell us.
"We (Blue) lost that thing of singing live. We didn’t do that towards the end and I didn’t want to mime."
Hit after hit for Blue, then blam. It all slows down for a while and they give up.
Sounding just like tweenage friendly Axl Rose, Ryan backs up his shocking revelations with a familiar rock star phrase.
"All of us had lost interest in the music. Without that, the rest was bullshit."
And so it ends.
God’s own disciples on earth (that’s Blue) prepare to leave us on a sour note. Lee ‘system up with the top down‘ Ryan, we wish you nothing but trouble in your new life.
What a sneaky little grass. Antony will be furious.

I personally hate it on TOTP and such like when the band performs live. You sit down, expecting to be entertained and see the singers cavorting around while bopping to a tune that you like, and then you’re faced with this unrecogniable drivel that sounds like karaoke night at the local Yates’. Bring back miming!

I am closely working on this new rumour flying round the celebrity circle surrounding this guy “Sir Elton Jock”,
and his alleged Gay Lover Ex Blue Frontman Lee Ryan,i can confirm that i have spotted the pair in London’s
Old Compton Street area as well as a private function at G.A.Y,I can confirm that “Sir Elton Jock ” real name
Robert Fitchet Scottish Lad has indeed recently spent a lot of time with Lee Ryan at various avents here and
abroad,the problem is they are both very Camera Shy but its certainly looking like there is no smoke without
fire.I cannot confirm either way at this stage if the pair are lovers or just good friends but its been confirmed
to me in Scotland that “Sir Elton Jock” is gay,hey girls is he a looker or what ! ,a very handsome man and its
the same old story those gorgeous guys are gay.I have got you both in my sights guys so do the world a
favour when you feel ready and give us a duet “I am what i am” previously performed by Hannah Jones
i am sure she will bless you both.This article is no way defamotary or malice or factual and is simply an
observation and in order to protect myself “i am not saying they are gay” i am assuming they are.This
will cause no parties any distress.Its just a shame that “real love” is not disclosed to the world come on now
guys its no big deal nowadays
Robert Fitchet says
I have nothing to say about the above article except i hope that Camera didn’t cost you to much money to replace/repair.Its a shame you accidently dropped it .Did it really have pictures worth selling that would shock the world i mean was there any “real love” pictures to sell to any paper that would be interested? ,The clue is in Lee Ryan’s Song “wish the whole world knew”,like you i can play these silly games to .Kindest Regards Sir Elton Jock
