Hannah Reid became the next student
London Grammar performed in the Live Lounge, where Hannah Reid’s voice prompted listeners to describe her as one of the country’s best singers.
Scott nevertheless decided his new career as a vocal coach should continue.
He explained the Carrie Grant method from Celebrity Fame Academy, where a singer is forced to think about the emotional meaning of each line by answering questions while performing. Hannah agreed to give it a try.
As she sang, Scott interrupted with prompts including what the relationship meant to her, what everybody had been telling her and how far she would go for the person in the song. At one point his questioning led to the suggestion of stealing the moon, which Hannah correctly pointed out would be both impossible and potentially criminal.
Scott declared that the performance had improved. Listeners were less convinced that Hannah Reid had ever needed his help.
The phone launch divided the room
The day’s major technology launch prompted a familiar argument between people fascinated by every specification and those who could not understand why anybody would watch a corporate presentation about a phone.
Listeners described partners insisting on watching the announcement uninterrupted, while Scott and Chris joked about the tiny changes companies could present as life-changing innovations.
Freshers prepared to head back to university
With September under way, students were beginning the annual process of packing cars to the roof with clothes, kitchen equipment and enough food from their parents to last the first few weeks.
Second-year student Matt called for advice about starting a university radio show. Scott’s suggestion was simple: steal the programme’s features.
