Pop around the clock

  • November 5, 2009
  • Popjustice

This is the sleeve for the X Factor Finallists version of Michael Jackson's 'You Are Not Alone'. It's been done with computers, they're not all suspended on wires.

The good thing about this is that it's arranged so that each X Factor finalist is like the number on a clock. 

"9pm? Time for me to do a stupid manip­u­lat­ive seriousface." 

"It's half past Rachel, time for me to pretend it's 8 o'clock in a crass and ulti­mately humi­li­at­ing attempt to win votes."

"2 o'clock! Time for Jamie to get a job!"

"You said you'd be home at Murs o'clock — it's a quarter past McElderry and you're pissed." "I'm sorry dear, I've been drinking since Miss Frank and I quite lost track of time."

Etc.
