Blue Not Hopeful For Christmas No.1

Simon Webbe and Lee Ryan of Blue spoke with Radio 1 about ”Signed Sealed Delivered’, the cover they made with the legendary Stevie Wonder and Angie Stone. The group doesn’t believe it will fair well against ‘Pop Idol’ to top the singles charts. “We want to step out of the shadow of collaborating,” they said. “We don’t want to be the band that’s remembered for collaborations. Sir Elton John came along because he is a fan of ours and respected our music, and then Stevie Wonder came up and obviously you’re not going to turn round and say ‘no’ to him either. For us to actually come from England – we’re all from different backgrounds – but from where we first started to end up with Angie Stone and Stevie Wonder, well, that’s thank you to the fans and everyone who’s ever supported us.”
