Recording a music video - yesterday I did a video in Manchester for a song called Beautiful Dangerous People by a guy called Ellis. It’s being produced by Stock Aitken & Waterman and the choreographer for the day was Cheryl Cole’s, Beth Honan. It will be released after Christmas and the video is very James Bond - we were dressed as robots in silver catsuits and silver over-the-knee boots and it looked fantastic!
But... it's false! On Hit Factory Forum you can read about this topic. I don't like this new song and on Hit Factory Forum some of us didn't think it was a Stock, Aitken & Waterman production.
Mike Stock replies:
Hi Pete, No, I know nothing about this stuff. It feels like someone trying to stir up a bit of media interest. I don't know if using our name really will help him, but I suppose its worth a try! Kind regards, Mike.
Ivana Spagna - I Wanna Be Your Wife
This song wasn't a Stock, Aitken & Waterman production but you can't miss it! It was "I Wanna Be Your Wife", a wonderful dance song. Spagna is my favourite italian singer.
