Instant Star 303 - Start Me Up

[@rahbeeuh]

If nothing else was good in this show it's saving grace was the MUSIC

[@konekotakashi414]

Still waiting on our Instant Star movie! Everyone else is getting one.

[@damnmuggle]

Never happening

[@valp1705]

I don't understand how magazines were showing Jude's "wardrobe malfunction" isn't she a minor/17? That is illegal 🤣

[@rahbeeuh]

Weird that Alexz Johnson stopped writing songs for this show after season 2. Really liked her style.

[@CatLady1989]

She had a recording deal at the time and she couldn't sing/write music for the show because of her contract said so or something like that. "The Breakdown" is written by her brother Brendan & it's the closest to an Alexz's song this season

[@rahbeeuh]

@@CatLady1989 ohh that makes sense. I remember reading something like that but I couldn't recall. Thanks for the reminder. Imo the songs seemed better when she wrote and her brother wrote them.

[@MA-yc7pz]

In my opinion all the songs in the show were great despite who wrote them

[@Vonderrful]

Patsy’s an artist and artists are sensitive about their art. But there’s nothing about Patsy that screams saxophone so…. that was random.

[@gogiya41195]

As a jazz fan, kinda liked both versions I thought it was simple enough out of Jamie to just stick with the old version, was just as good if not better and had her soul as an artist in it. That could've saved her life

[@RealAshiaMiller]

I didn’t mind the jazz version either …but perhaps as a separate release after the original rock version has gained lots of play and traction

[@lisarm100]

Does anyone hear something at 20:30?? It sounds like he swallows a burp or something.

[@nayeligonzalez13]

@6:54 gosh teenagers - think they know it all. Doesn't know that the contract you sign with th label also state who has ownership of the songs as Jude later learn all the songs she wrote all are owned by G Major and she can't use any of them without their go-ahead

[@smokeem15]

So was patsy an adult dating a high school Jamie? I liked this show when it first came out and I didn't realize how many people were dating teens. Wow.

[@StarrH7]

If Jude was weeks away from 18 as she said last episode then Jamie was already 18. Remember in season 1 they said Jude was the last to turn 18

[@AutumnOceanSky]

Same! Tommy was way too old for Jude.

[@heyitsnoreen]

@@StarrH7 Still though he had to be around 17 when they started dating in season 2 since Jude turned 17 in that season. Plus her being week away from 18 doesn't change the fact that this man was lusting after her since she was 15. And then there's Karma and Speed. Even at 18, she still slept with a high school kid. I guess no one can date adults?

[@InsomniaNervosaTTV]

They just had to prove Patsy's point...her song was amazing without the all the added instruments.

[@Daaaanielle]

The band is just amazing. 🤣🤣🤣

[@lucasverth]

thank yoooou

[@sarahcellist1]

I will NVR understand why they added brass to patsy's song. It was perfect before and smth she obviously wouldn't have ever wanted. It doesn't even sound good lol

[@blueberryara28]

isn’t like posting a 17 y/o boob a crime? 😭😭 like make it make sense

[@sool47]

Jude is insufferable here, but Tommy was really cruel with his words.... it kinda feels wrong that Jude acts like nothing happens and all is peachy between them.

[@nayeligonzalez13]

Right - one thing I was always bothered by was how much of a man-child Tommy really was. He was a total a*hole a lot of the times

[@damnmuggle]

Why did they add all of that saxophone 🎷

[@nicksargeant9479]

i was confused what was wrong with patsy??

[@michellejoseph3416]

She was going through some personal demons and used drinking as a coping technique!

[@Gingerm0nster]

In short: a lot Patsy has always been a fascinating character to me. She’s an anti-establishment, almost anarchist type who’s in it for both the love of music and (for lack of a better term) the lolz. So she hated it when her boyfriend watered down her pure raw talent into something “marketable”. She’s so anti-capitalist and she was distraught, even heart-broken to see this perverted version of her song get praise from the likes of Karma. If Karma represents pop music at its most safe, vain and commercial, Patsy is the otherside of the spectrum; experimental, scary, unkept, and apathetic to modern sensibilities. She’s almost clearly stricken with alcoholism. The brief comments from her character suggest she’s been abused by her family. Overall, Patsy is probably the most complex character in the entire IS canon. It’s a shame she got killed off, I would have loved to see a spin-off where she and Andrew go to London or NYC and try to make it in the world of Underground Punk.

[@arthurdurham]

The horns sound awful, it isn't even more "commercial", it's just bad. Reminds me of that Drake and Josh episode where the studio makes Drake's song "more commercial" and it sounds like garbage.

[@damnmuggle]

Poor patsy

[@plansforus]

Couldn't stand Karma when she first came on just because she wreaked of mean girl insecurity... but I admit that I love her version of Waste My Time better LOL

[@xdxdxdxd4575]

If Jude behaves sometimes like a 17 year old, than Tommy is like a 13 year old little drama queen! It is so tiring and lame....

[@chris-tinav4852]

Can we agree patsy wouldn’t be signed to a major label 😅

[@traberah2671]

I am sick of Tommy.

[@ML-rj4yk]

Patsy 🤣

[@heypj8734]

What the hell is a prevert??

[@genger100]

I think she meant pervert 🤣

[@rahbeeuh]

I've never heard pervert pronounced that way before lol

@@rahbeeuh Must be a Canadian thing 😂

[@rahbeeuh]

@@heypj8734 I think it might've been an Alexz Johnson thing 😂

It was just something people said in early 2000.
