Blue give the most amazing interview in the history of Planet Earth

3 Simon hates people noticing him Blue by name and by nature

Lee Ryan - the gift that keeps on giving

"Lee is a law unto himself, the crazy one, the genius."

As you may already have heard, Blue are shortly to become the next British Entry to the Eurovision Song Contest to realise just how much Europe hates us. That doesn't stop them being incredible gobshites without an ounce of self-awereness or a modicum of common sense, as this extraordinary interview with The Guardian proves...

The full interview is here and you really, REALLY should pour yourself a cuppa and enjoy it in it's entirety - but to summarize, here are a selection of the most amazing words to ever pour from a human's mouth.

Lee Ryan, talking about his 9/11 quote:

"I just said there were kids dying of Aids and stuff, and the whole country went on a campaign for New York, and I was just saying there are plenty of other things we can change now. Listen, it was a tragic thing that happened, but there have been tragic things that have happened since then that don't get half as much of the coverage. And that's the truth."

"The thing is, I said the words 'Fuck New York', but I didn't mean it in a malicious way, it just came out as a 17-year-old articulating himself."

What he said was: "Who gives a fuck about New York when elephants are being killed?"

"I got about 20,000 emails saying they wanted to shove anthrax down my throat." Did it scare him? "Yeah, it scared my mum. Cos you get some crazy fucks in America."

Duncan James on the different personalities in the band:

"Lee's like the voice of the angels – a really high, beautiful voice. Antony has a rockier voice. Si has got the open kind of sound, very soulful, and I've got quite a husky voice. And personality: Lee is a law unto himself, the crazy one, the genius. They say with geniuses, they're all a bit unbalanced in their head, which, in the most loving way, he is. His brain works on such a different level. Lyrically, the way he writes, the way he paints, he's just very creative."

Duncan James on who is the most popular member of Blue:

"We all have different fans. I get a lot of the mums and the disabled children. A lot of my fans have got cerebral palsy, but you know what? I love children like that, and I love people who have got disabilities because I spent a lot of time in hospital with my grandparents when they were ill, and Mum was a nurse.

It's just in my nature. I'm like a magnet to them, and I treat them like normal people so they latch on. I once had a launch party and there was a queue of disabled kids all in wheelchairs come to see me, and Sara [the band's manager] walked in and goes: 'What is it with you and disabled people?'"

Just astounding. Go and read the article. As usual, we asked Lee Ryan what he thought about it:

wtf?, Blue Pictures, Antony Costa, blue, Duncan James, Lee Ryan, Simon Webbe, WTF?

Don't assume a word doesn't exist just because your vocabulary is pretty poor...

Hollish
A term used to refer to the language and the people from The Netherlands; it is considered more accurate than "Dutch" because it doesn't conflict with the German (and Hollish) word for the German language: Deutsch.

But the crown has to go to Lee Ryan.
