Daphne & Celeste are an American pop duo composed of Celeste Cruz and Karen DiConcetto. They are best known for their songs "Ooh Stick You" and "U.G.L.Y.". ==Success and album reaction== They released three singles in the UK: "Ooh Stick You!", "U.G.L.Y." and a cover version of Alice Cooper's "School's Out".〔(SUMMER SCHOOL' FOR DAPHNE AND CELESTE )〕 A full-length album, ''We Didn't Say That!'', was released in June 2000 to generally positive reviews (''Melody Maker'' awarded it four out of five stars). Another single, "Party", was due in November 2000, but was never released. During the Reading rock festival in 2000, the crowd's negative reception towards Daphne & Celeste's incongruous music resulted in the duo being bottled by the audience.〔(Reading Diary 3: Daphne & Celeste's battle )〕 Many pop fans were also vociferous in their dislike for Daphne & Celeste. "U.G.L.Y." in particular was criticised, many feeling that it promoted bullying. Daphne & Celeste countered this by saying their lyrics were meant to be tongue-in-cheek. In an interview included on the "U.G.L.Y." single, Daphne stated: "Everyone is indeed ugly in their own special way." Daphne & Celeste made an appearance at Feet First.〔(DAPHNE AND CELESTE JUMP IN FEET FIRST )〕 Daphne & Celeste also had a television and film deal.〔(TV AND MOVIE FOR D&C )〕 Following relatively low album sales, and the backlash against them, Daphne & Celeste were dropped by their label. Their official website closed down in October 2001, and their management company, Perfect Noise Limited, was dissolved in November 2002. After the band broke up Celeste went back to school.〔('OOH STICK YOU' 2002! )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Daphne and Celeste」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
