This footage from the Vogue website, in which Marina & The Diamonds shoots her new video (as covered the other day on Popjustice), makes the fact that Marina never joined The Saturdays even more annoying. As you can see:
a) She looks quite good as one of five ladies wearing colourful frocks.
b) She can do the 'Vogue' (the song not the website, try to keep up) / 'Alejandro' arm-wavey 'head in a box' dance routine, a routine not normally associated with The Saturdays but not to worry.
c) Er...
We once asked Marina if she thought the world would basically have been a better place if she'd joined The Saturdays. (The reason we asked her about it is that there was a period in her journey towards becoming Marina & The Diamonds when she was auditioning for bands and things.) She said no it would not have been better because she wouldn't have been able to express her serious 'n' important views about the would via the gift of songwriting. We said well that is where you are wrong Marina because Una from The Saturdays has done some stuff involving an acoustic guitar on YouTube so it is therefore possible to be Highly Talented and still be in The Saturdays. Marina was not very convinced by this argument.
Then this happened.
Us: What is your favourite Saturdays song?
Marina: 'Up'.
Is the right answer.

 When we spoke to Stuart Price about the Kylie album back in April, he said (perhaps not entirely seriousy) that during the recording sessions Kylie would sometimes slip into a Dolly Parton vocal. Eventually (Stuart said) every song considered for the album was required to pass a 'Dolly Parton test': if a song sounded good in the style of DP, it went on the album.
Well, 'All The Lovers' got the full Dolly treatment from Scissor Sisters in the Radio 1 Live Lounge yesterday.
The version has divided Kylie fans but considering Kylie fans haven't
been able to agree on anything since she was unconvincingly fixing cars in the late 80s a mixed reponse is the best you can hope for.
So what happened was, the song started on the radio, and we said this.
Then Kylie said this.
Then Dannii said THIS.
This means we were retweeted by TWO MINOGUES in less than 24 hours. *Runs around room high-fiving strangers, trips over someone's bag, hits head on doorframe, goes to A&E*
While Annie Mac was standing in yesterday that slot on Radio 1 is usually the domain of Fearne 'Yeah Music Amazing' Cotton and we appreciate that many of you will - like Dannii - have therefore missed the performance. So here it is.
LOVELY.

Not odd in the way it's supposed to be odd - although it is odd in that way - but odd, even more so, in a 'that's quite odd' sort of way.

 We're big fans of Moscow trio Tesla Boy and have mentioned them once or twice on Popjustice.
They've just finished the video for rather pleasant tune 'Thinking Of You', which'll be the second single from the 'Modern Thrills' album, and sent us an email about it last week.
"It's a collaboration between people of Moscow and LA who have never met each other and probably never will," they said.
"We thought it could be quite magical if the world premier of the video in question could take place on Popjustice - it doesn't feature any hidden QR codes or recycled Madonna wardrobe but it's quite pop from the heart nevertheless."
Sounds like a good idea, we said. So here's the video.
The single's out on June 28.
