Shit list. Super Bass is "good" and We Found Love is the 3rd best song of the year? What a load of wank.

awww, robyn is lovely Chris!

A great review, it summed up the night very well!

here's the set list http://yfrog.com/h0so6soj - you can see that a lot of what you missed out on (didn't we all) was meant to be included but cos the poor love was suffering we didnt get it :-( but i'm sure she'll be back and I'll be there in a heartbeat (HA!) I never EVER tire of seeing Robyn and she always leaves me buzzing and wanting more....

dude, not the most attractive lady that's for sure, but the music is catchy as all get up! nice one...!

Thanks for the clarification on the song's history. It seems it's had a fairly long road to make it onto someone's album at any road.

Also, Nicole may be a trained soprano, and that's fantastic, but that doesn't automatically mean she has an amazing voice for pop. Two very different styles of singing and perhaps words like "strong" imply more about technical ability than suitability for a genre, but in any event Nicole's voice doesn't immediately come to mind when thinking about the all time great pop vocalists.

And just to clarify, the song is brilliant. Nicole is getting more and more brilliant. Everyone is a winner.

LOL get your facts straight, please.
The Keri Hilson version that leaked was a demo for a track on Timbaland's Shock Value II (previously rejected by Jordin Sparks).
The final version released by Nicole has been re-worked by Dave Audé and Jonas Jerberg.
Lastly, her vocals aren't that strong? Nicole is a trained OPERA singer (soprano) and a very respected artist within the industry. It's the regular people who don't care to see past her PCD image and see the true talent.

Ummm Aiden made me feel uncomfortable and i was half expecting him to cry or possibly wet himself?
i like Matt and have done since his first audition he is real but also a little sheepish, he is my fav by far, if i were a boy, was in a word unusual, however he isnt mainstream which i think could win him this competition we need change, lets see what danni does with him. Cher - awful. She is too angry and frustrated to sing infront of millions, seriously i think shes going to walk off stage half way through some un known rap song/ girls aloud number.

2010-10-04T01:59:14.069-07:00

The same happened in our house. From the start we felt he was one makeover away from being a genuine contender. Guess the smart money is on Cher but I can see Matt pulling off a real upset. Completely agree about Aiden - his style isn't exactly my cup of tea, but there's talent there which could have done with a few more years' development before being thrown out ot a live audience every week.

2010-10-03T21:54:44.805-07:00

Is it wrong to admit that while I've liked Matt, the closing montage turned me solidly into a Team Matt member? Personally I love Aiden's vocal ability, but he should have waited about 2 years.

2010-09-16T17:47:11.193-07:00

I love Diana Vickers. Hated her on the X Factor, but I really like her album, apart from the parts where her voice begins to get on your fucking nerves. My Wicked Heart is just great, it should be such a mess but somehow it just works. Shame it's just being tacked onto a rerelease though, I want an entire new album from her!

It would make more sense to shout out the lead guitarist rather than a character from a Wizard Of Oz spin-off book, I suppose. Perhaps, my mistake will prompt a re-think.

It's actually Kellindo.

"Leona and Jennifer chuck out what is tantamount to a lazy cover version but try and skip out on paying the royalties on it by shifting some lyrics about"

The track was already written and earmarked for the film - they were the two artists invited in to record it.

And it really isn't that similar apart from a slight resemblance in the melody at the start.

I don't know... people have tried to initiate a copywrite suit for songs way more dissimilar than these two... and after the whole Celebrity Apprentice thing has ended, I'm sure she's got plenty of time on her hands ;)

2010-03-19T14:26:00.094-07:00

Another fine post. For my money, 'Crazy in Love' is the pop single of the 2000s, alongside 'Can't Get you out of my Head', but 'Umbrella' is the more adventurous musically. Props for mentioning PSB and La Springfield! And unlike yourself I am old enough to remember bopping to that one at the youth club when it came out, though I was still in single figures age at least...

With hindsight. Probably.

I could only stand to listen to 27 seconds of that DDY record. Possibly the worst thing ever to be given a marketing budget?

Robin Beck! How could I forget? :(

Also, the dance Jagger busts out at the top of the video to be honest goes a long way towards redeeming the whole thing all by itself. Amazing stuff. :)

Re. Bird-monikered number one artistes: does Robin Beck count?
And surely we can allow the Jagger/Bowie collaboration as it was done specifically for Live Aid.
But otherwise, this is like reading stuff from the glory days of the NME Kinderbunker. Keep it up!
