Welcome to The News
Archive, a place where I stick all the old news!

Only
a few pieces of info, I'm excited to confirm that Rosie's cover of "Groove
Is In The Heart" does exist. I was played a brief clip and I can honestly
say I was blow away! I've been officially informed that Rosie is taking a break
from recording and is in Australia visiting family. The only other update is the
addition of a signed copy of Blink! to my Rosie collection. Take care, Love

I
have some exciting news! Firstly you will notice the recent picture of Rosie to
the left :o) the picture was taken in the Pontardawe Inn on an open mic night held by the Pontardawe Acoustic Music Club
(http://www.pontyacoustic.org.uk).It's great to see her still singing... and even better to find out
that she is working on a wealth of material. It seems the rumours are true and
her regular visits to London are delivering a more classy, grown-up, mature
sound, more suited to Rosie's vocal abilities. We have heard a short clip of the
demo track "Nothing's Changed" and was amazed by the change of
direction, style, genre and it seems there is more of this mature sound to come.
One such track rosieribbons.com can exclusively reveal is called "Whether
The World Could Smile",
written by Rosie herself it is described as a melodic beauty with a fantastic
vocal performance from Rosie. More details will follow as soon as I get further
information. Also I have added another video, A Little Bit (Rosie's second
single is now watchable in the Videos section!) Take care, Love
Mike (AKA MCEyedol/blink4rosie) x x

It's
official we are now the #1 Rosie Fansite! Yay! Check us out on Wikipedia,
Popjustice and many other internet resources! I am sorry for the lack of
updates, it's nearly been a whole year... but alas news is very scarce. I wish I
was updating to inform you of something more concrete, unfortunately not. I seem
to be getting continued emails from businesses/firms for work for Rosie
(modeling, singing, personal appearances) and it seems a real shame that I have
no way to contact her to inform her of all the opportunities out there.
Unfortunately I have
bad news... the saga of "Groove Is In The Heart" has hit a brick wall.
It seems the person that had the recording can no longer find the cd that they
lent to their best friend's sisters, mothers, uncle etc... to complicated to
explain but looks like we won't ever get to hear it. It really does frustrate me
to know that there is material out there that isn't getting heard. Rosie I want
you to know I love you and hope you realise there are still fans out there that
still care for you and want some new music!
The only other
updates to report is the addition of a "Videos" section to the
Multimedia part of the site. So far you will find watchable videos for Blink
(Promo Video) & Blink (Live @ TOTP). That's it for now. Take care, Love
Mike (AKA MCEyedol/blink4rosie) x x
06/06/2005: We've
got a new name! goodthing.tk was getting filled with lots of ads and now we are
officially the #1 Rosie Fansite! Yay! This
month's update can bring you lots of juicy news!!! On the website front; I've
reworked some of the sections and made others more accessible. Added a few new
banners and piece of gfx here and there :o) Okay onto the NEWS! A new demo recorded by Rosie
has surfaced called "Nothing's Changed", credit for this find goes to
my friend Chris Adelaide. The track was produced by Quince Studios and has a
completely different feel to anything produced on her debut album, Misbehaving.
The sound is under-produced, laid back, with real instruments and dreamy
vocals... you can hear a small clip in the downloads section.
Also
Chris was very lucky to have a telephone conversation with Rosie (the
transcript will follow soon) and she was currently on her way to London. She has
been visited London quite often recently and this ties in perfectly with the new
music that is surfacing! Keeping my fingers crossed, Rosie I love you and hope
you realise there are still fans out there that still care for you and want some
new music! Unfortunately there's no update in the never ending "Groove Is
In The Heart" saga, but I'm hopeful we'll get it one day.
The remaining bits of news are
the discovery of various new pictures/magazine articles. You may of noticed the
lush picture above which is taken from the Sunday Express magazine "S"
when Rosie was on the cover. Chris also found a new "Little Bit" promo
pictures and a magazine article, which featured in Now Magazine, basically it
followed Rosie on her trip to get hair extensions in preparation of her new
video (You can see the article in the gallery). The interesting thing is that
the video that was mentioned was "Heaven", which means that this was
considered as a single in it's own right. Even more exciting is that there could
be a video for Heaven somewhere!!!! That's it for now. Take care, Love

Hello Peeps! I'm afraid at present I have no news.... not even a morsel I'm
afraid :( Things are really quiet and I haven't had time to search the web for
tidbits. I do though have assurance that we are closer to hearing "Groove
Is In The Heart" and as soon as I know, you will know.
Other news includes a massive
revamp of the network. Don't worry goodthing.tk will not be affected, although I
do have plans to buy some more webspace to bring you bigger and better
things.... including downloadable videos and such like.
Hope you all had a good new year
and I'll be back soon! Love
Mike (AKA MCEyedol/ blink4rosie) x x P.S.
The "Even Angels" download is still up for those who missed it!
06/12/2004:
OMG!!! Mega HUGE news! I myself have started receiving direct emails to me with
offers of work for Rosie. One particular offer came from Jeff Heiniger, who is
wanting to record an original track with Rosie. Jeff is the co-owner of
the record label; www.nomorekisses.com.
This is great news, again except we have no way of contacting Rosie herself.
Rosie recently posted a message
on one of the forums titled No work, all play ;o). The transcript is as follows:
Hi guys. I have a very nice
agent who deals with work and I take alot of time thinking about things and
ideas of how to go about things. The way you are talking is that I am stuck in a
box somewhere, sad, but the truth is I'm not. I enjoy very much being a lady of
leisure doing something other to singing which I love, and that is shopping, as
well as spending alot of time with my family and doing alot of work locally and
for charity. I enjoy where I am in my life at the moment and keep my musical
memories very close to me. Who knows what will happen in the future?
Its not very often we write on our fan sites, but reading them is something that
alot of people I know do, and it is encouraged by management. It was my cousin
who told me that there is one site that "has work for me", I was
slightly concerned.
Don't fret guys, I'm happy.
Love Rosie

Personally I don't know what to
make of it, is it real? is it not? Either way I'm not sure and it comes across
as quite a defensive message and I don't believe Rosie would treat us like this.
Here is the direct link
to the post where you can read peoples responses to the message.
Again the updates are very sparse
as there is no official news... we just have to play the waiting game. As a
special treat I have uploaded a lovely mid tempo ballad called "Even
Angels" as a little special something as it's near Christmas! You can find
it in the download section of the multimedia page. As if that wasn't enough a
lovely friend of mine Hans has designed some gorgeous artwork for the album
(which can also be found in the download section).
Everyone have a Merry Christmas
and I look forward to exciting new things in the new year! Take care Love

Some BIGish news!! Dean from rosieribbons.tk
has received direct emails of offers of work for Rosie, some of the work
includes singing a set at a formal function (simular to Kylie singing at an
Asian Sultans wedding!).... so not a record deal but still an offer of work. The
only problem we have is trying to contact Rosie herself. If you read this or
know where Rosie is please contact myself or Dean. Thankyou! :o)
Also recently I have come into possession
quite a few LIVE Rosie recordings and am hoping to post a live album when I get
the time to do the tweaking of the files and designing some artwork. But at the
moment I'm concentrating on the upcoming new album/single from Mariah so
apologies for the sparsity of updates.
The Groove Is In The Heart
soundfile is closer than we realise and can honestly say that we will have a
recording in the next 6 months! Yay! Other small updates include some photos I
found of Rosie attending the film premiere of Lord of The Rings: Twin Towers in
Dec 2002. You'll find the pix in the gallery. The lyrics page has had a
reshuffle to make it easier to get to directly what you want. Take care and stay
sexy! M x

News wise, we're pretty quiet (as usual) lol! Just a few updates to the
Audiography courtesy of the lovely Chris Adelaide (& myself), a live version
of Blink recorded from when Rosie Toured with Blue on the "One Love"
Tour. I also have a picture of Rosie on stage performing "Blink" on
the "One Love" tour, 23rd Nov 2004 below.
I
will hopefully be posting a download of the file after I've finished my latest
Remix Project. Other additions to the Audiography are, a NEW live version of
"Heaven", "Blink", "Little Bit", recorded
from a promotional tour in Brighton (Click here for
the pictures), a new live version of "(Everything I Do) I Do It For
You" and a new Sky Interview soundfile. Also here is a new cute photo I
found of Rosie, in a signed Polaroid style! This could be one of the most
up-to-date pics we have!
Chris
is using all his contacts and sources to try and bring you the "Groove Is
In The Heart" sound file, so I'm afraid you are gonna have to wait a little
bit longer for it. My next update will be a downloads section, hopefully of some
album clips and rare live tracks!
Exciting news that I have been
able to confirm first hand is that Rosie did record a studio version of
"Groove Is In The Heart", I was in contact with Rosie's PR Manager,
Louise, at Telstar. She confirmed several things to me, there is also footage of
a video showcase of Rosie performing one of her last gigs and a recording of her
supporting Blue. At this showcase, Louise said that Rosie sang a reworked
version of Louise Nurdings "Naked" OMG!! I couldn't believe it when
she said that, I could imagine Rosie doing this track justice, she is naturally
sexy and sassy just like the track!
Also in some kind of weird poetic
justice, Telstar Records were reported to have started undergoing bankruptcy
proceedings. Rosie parted company over a year ago and I am disappointed at the
news, as I had made a very valuable contact at the label. Telstar we're infamous
for churning out compilation cd's, and had Victoria Beckham and Mis-Teeq as some
of their clientele. One thing though..... wonder what happens to all the Rosie
stuff?!?
Other news is related to the
Eye-Dol
Network, I have recently finished some new remixes of Lisa Scott-Lee's "U
Sure Do"... it's a piece of Disco Diva pie and will have you reaching for
your handbag! There are both urban and club mixes, will let you all know when
they are up.
Ta ta for now!

News wise, we're pretty quiet (as
usual) lol! Just a few updates to the Audiography courtesy of Chris Adelaide,
who emailed me with a few more finds... one especially that has me really
excited is a demo version of "Blink." This would of been a version
that the songwriter had recorded to give producers an idea of what the song
sounds like :o) and the next track that has me wetting my pants (metaphorically
of course) is a live version of Groove Is In The Heart. Those of us in the know,
this was planned as the third single to try and gain a chart hit, but was never
released due to Rosie parting company with her label :(
Other news is related to the
Eye-Dol
Network, I have recently finished some new remixes of Lisa Scott-Lee's
"Sleazy"... incidentally this is an artist in the same kind of
predicament as Rosie (two singles, album recorded then dropped), anyways Sleazy
was a funky piece to eletroklash sleaziness! Anyways I have made two sorts of
mixes, one in style of DJ Tiga and the others more clubby. They only have a few
days left on the downloads before they expire. So get em fast.
I'm attempting to write down all
the album lyrics, so we'll see what happens soon!
07/05/2004:
Not much news to report, I
received a recent email from Chris Adelaide who was kind enough to provide me
with some new information on some missing versions/mixes that I added to the
Audiography. Also under multimedia you'll find some lyrics to three of Rosie's
songs, finding wallpapers is difficult, but I've managed to make a couple...
they're not brilliant, but they're a start to the section :) I hope to soon post
a rare audio file from time to time, so keep your eyes peeled!
I don't know if this is real or not but
Rosie posted this message to all her fans on the pop-idol forums. You can visit
the new forum
by clicking on the link.
Hi guys!
Well, I've finally got here on the site. I checked it out quite a while ago and
the support I read was amazing, thankyou so much. I really haven't had the time
to check the site often, but I've managed to now.
I've been taking a short while off from everything, but I am back in my local
recording studio, where I first recorded 'Colours', working on some material of
my own, but I really don't know what's going to happen next.
I'm so sorry about the album folks, but hey, nuts happens. I was really gutted
at the time but to be honest, I could see it coming for quite some time, but I
tried my best anyway. But so, it wasn't Telstar's album it was my album, and I
loved it and really enjoyed making it, and I just wish I could have shared it
with you.
What else can I say...oh, it is actually my sister, Jo, who works in House of
Fraser, not me. She has had quite a few phone calls from people asking about me,
but she just laughs!
Anyway, I just want to thank you so so much for what you have allowed me to have
and achieve, and I am so greatful (sic) and proud of what I did actually
achieve. Thankyou.
But guys, I'll be back.
Love Rosie
