I like it, but it's not very gripping, especially for a first single.

I bet it's only being released as the first single because the lyrics sort of tie into the Olympics.

Oh I love it too. Just not single material, but then they wouldn't have a hit whatever they released at this point.

Winner was played on the Janice Long show on BBC Radio 2 in the early hours of this morning.
Before it was played, Janice read out a text she'd recieved from someone from the band of the Irish Guards who said he'd been busy rehearsing for the closing ceremony of the Olympics with "Blur, the London Symphony Orchestra and the Pet Shop Boys.

I knew it. Their dim record company chose to release it as the first single because of the lyrics and the perceived Olympics tie-in. How fucking thick.


- 2nd single is as yet unknown, because the video of the track already was finished and the boys wanted the track to be the first single from "Elysium". EMI changed all plans in a last-minute decision.

- EMI also had plans to get the boys with Winner into the Olympic Opening Ceremony, which failed.

- After Robbies decision to drop his appearance - the boys suddenly were IN again and appear now on the Closing Ceremony.

- There will be no remixes of Winner on any physical format, because nobody could finish an additional production. All Winner remixes will appear in digital format only.

- Remixes for planned first single already were finished, so we'll have them on some of the CDM releases in September (Early October).

- The boys currently are working on a video for "Winner" which should be finished soon.

Heartening to see it's not just Madonna's "team" who are incapable of doing the basics of their jobs.

God, I hope the video isn't some wretched Olympics tie-in.

Yay for sepia toned slow motion shots of athletes crossing the finish line. Special Olympics athletes added for extra emotional resonance.

I stopped watching after a minute. The song is nice, but I have zero interest in those bints.

The first time they turned down the music to have them talk over it about their 'relationships' I turned it off.

New b-side from the "Winner" single. A cover of the Bee Gees hit. Gorgeous!
