Dizzee Rascal 'angered by talent show audience'

Dizzee Rascal lost his temper with a studio audience this week while filming Sky1's new talent show Must Be The Music, a report has claimed. According to The Sun, the hip hop star was left stunned when audience members booed him and his fellow judges after they made a controversial decision. It is thought that the panel which also features Jamie Cullum and Sharleen Spiteri were jeered and heckled after choosing to send home a female hopeful who had won over the crowd. Responding to the audience, Dizzee allegedly picked up a microphone and complained: "What's going on? Don't boo us. You guys need to get behind us… If we don't like someone you guys need to get behind us otherwise it will create a s**t vibe."A show producer is understood to have then stepped in, telling the crowd: "Guys, you need to work with us. These guys have sold millions of albums so they know what they're talking about."

Thrills Pyramid crowd Dizzee Rascal

Dizzee Rascal whipped the swelling crowd near Glastonbury's Pyramid Stage into a frenzy with his British take on traditional rap music.
As he performed his chart topping hits, the volume and excitement from the crowd grew.
Hits Bonkers, Dirtee Disco and Holiday, coupled with a glowing sunset over Worthy Farm, provided the soundtrack for a day which seemingly passed without a hitch.
Marcus Long, 34, and his friend David Goldman, 32, both from Golders Green, north London, agreed that Dizzee was going to be hard to beat.
Mr Long, a teacher, said: "I have been coming to Glastonbury since the mid-90s but today has been among the best days I have had at the festival. Usually I am into more guitar based music so I was disappointed when U2 pulled out.
"But Gorillaz are very good and Dizzee was bound to be a highlight.
"The energy and atmosphere was incredible - I haven't got his album but I think I owe him after that performance. Excellent."
Mr Goldman, a mature student, who had never been to Glastonbury before, said: "I am still in shock a little bit. I have seen it on the television and read so much about it - but actually being here is completely change.
"I loved Dizzee and I am looking forward to Muse and The Dead Weather tomorrow. But the best bit about the festival is just wandering around and coming across things you never thought you'd see. And the toilets are not too bad - yet."

Dizzee Rascal and James Corden's World Cup song tops UK singles chart

Dizzee Rascal and James Corden's unofficial World Cup anthem has gone straight to the top of the UK singles chart tonight – one of eight football songs in the Top 40.
The rapper and comedian's version of Tears For Fears' 1985 hit 'Shout', released under the name Shout For England', was performed for the first time a week ago on TV show Britain's Got Talent (June 6), and was only made available to buy on Wednesday (June 9).
All royalties from the record go to the Great Ormond Street Hospital for children in London.
Other World Cup songs in the Top Ten are from the Somalian artist K'naan at Three with 'Wavin' Flag', Coca-Cola's official World Cup Anthem. The star performed the track at Friday's (June 11) opening ceremony in Johannesburg.
Meanwhile, The Lightning Seeds/Baddiel and Skinner's 'Three Lions' is at Number Ten. Originally released ahead of the 1996 European Championship in England, it has already been Number One twice in the UK – that same year and again in 1998, when it was re-released ahead of the World Cup in France.
In other chart-related news, Black Eyed Peas' former Number One 'I Gotta Feeling' is set to become the first ever million-selling download later this week.
In the albums chart, Christina Aguilera has gone straight in at Number One with her new album 'Bionic'.

Dizzee Rascal and James Corden join 3am on set of new video for World Cup song Shout

There's a big Shout going out for England's World Cup team on Saturday - led by our Danielle.
She got her face painted with a St George's cross, wrapped herself in an England flag and joined Dizzee Rascal and James Corden for the video shoot of their England anthem Shout - along with scores of cheering, football crazy fans.
In an exclusive chat with rapper Dizzee, during the shoot at Harlequins ground The Stoop in Twickenham, SW London, he said it's "mad" that he's even singing a footie anthem.
He said: "I ain't ever been to a match before - that's the mad thing. I've seen England play on TV, I'm always cheering them on. But I'm so busy with gigs I don't get down there."
James added: "I'm so excited about the World Cup. A few of the boys have been in touch and they love the single.
"Rio told me he is devastated to be out of it, but I still think we've got a great chance.
"I just hope they go all the way.
"This is not about getting a No.1 single - we'd swap that to get the England team in the final and raise money for the kiddies at Great Ormond Street."
Dizzee reckons the buzz of singing Shout - a reworking of the Tears For Fears hit - is as big as scoring in the actual final.

He said: "Whenever the World Cup was on I always got that buzz where you wished you were in the winning team scoring that winning goal. I guess recording this single is the closest I'll get to it.
"Hopefully, the song will inspire the team to play better and lets them know the whole country is behind them. I want to hear it on the terraces. There is no reason why we can't win, we have world-class players, it's just what happens on the day."
In the track Dizzee raps a line about Rio Ferdinand saying "nobody can muck with him". He and James didn't even think about cutting the line after the captain got crocked last week.
Dizzee said: "Rio only got injured the other day, so it was a bit late to take it out. Anyway, he's still Rio Ferdinand and he's still a big part of it."
Hearing the crowd chant for the video shoot, he added: "It's wicked to be involved in the World Cup like this. To have done a song that they are singing up there and actually liking, is amazing.
"It's real. All these people are here today because they believe we can win the World Cup. And I believe we have as good a chance as any other top team.
"Everyone has just got to Shout about it and it will get the boys through." Well, you heard the man...

Dizzee Rascal : Songs about dirtee dancing and indie romancing

To tackle unemployment, jobseekers should be offered a placement in a Dizzee Rascal video. Why can't Steve the engineer from Darlington feature in the brilliant tongue-in-cheek video for Dirtee Disco? Irene, psychology graduate from Stoke-on-Trent, could easily fit the role of a dancer. If it worked for One True Voice victim Daniel Pearce, who lays some too-smooth-for-the-dole-queue croons over the top of this typically Dizzee party-time rap, it could work for anyone.

Slow Club – Giving Up On Love
With a barnstorming chorus from Rebecca Taylor, nonchalantly cool verses by Charles Watson and a video featuring comedy star Mackenzie Crook, it seems Slow Club have finally blossomed into a proper band. Giving Up On Love is the kind of thing that's earned the likes of Los Campesinos! success in the last couple of years (BBC 6Music loves it) and if they keep writing songs like this then their headline date at London's Koko on 1 June will be no big deal at all.

The Divine Comedy – At the Indie Disco
Little does Neil Hannon know that most indie discos – with their cider, shoegazing and requisite three tracks from Pulp – are now filled with the sound of bum-shuffling dubstep and silly amounts of fertiliser-based drugs. Or maybe he does. With winsome lyrics and saccharine keys, this is nostalgia-flavoured stuff.
