Surprised Drake made it through- as you said, hes nothing new

 

Gary Lightbody has a great voice- makes Chasing Cars and Run what they are- beautiful :wub:

 

Shayne Ward- oh dear, whats happened to him? nothing special tbh, good position for him and Ben E king, well Stand By Me is absolutely brilliant, dont know anything else by him unfortunately

Drake :wub: Now that Find Your Love has become his first single to chart over here.. I hope he manages to do well with upcoming singles etc..

 

:lol: He probably only made it in the top 100 because of me

Drake should be far higher - TML is an amazing album!
including a UK & US number one album with Thank Me Later

 

Thank Me Later got to #15 in the UK...

The film Stand By Me was on the TV last night - great story. Ben E King was one of my choices - he's lost it now unfortunately. I saw him a while ago and it was painful to watch - a bit like Paul Young - struggling to hit the notes.

 

Three of mine have now gone :lol:

Another older male artist taking a plummet after nomination stages, Dylan finished higher than Ben E. King through amount of Top Ten finishes. Dylan has been the critic's darling for decades known for bringing folk to the masses and creating engaging thought-provoking videos and songs. Dylan has recently topped the UK Album charts, making him the oldest man to do so, and highlighting a relevance he still has on the modern music scene. However, with all this gushing I should point out that he's not my cup of tea.

From the old to the young, Chipmunk has made a splash on the UK charts in the past few years and is one of the more prevalent urban stars despite only being 19, He has won two MOBO awards for Best Newcomer and Best Hip-Hop Artist, He has had four top ten singles in two years including the number one, Oopsy Daisy. I quite like some of his songs, and don't really have anything bad to say about him.

 

Favourite Song: Diamond Rings (from I Am Chipmunk) as Chipmunk Ft. Emeli Sande

Bob Dylan - boring

Chipmunk - listenable but not special

Example, like Chipmunk, is a mono-named UK rapper/singer who has had recent chart success. Example's first album bombed What We Made bombed, however the second album Won't Go Quietly made number 4, and it's era of singles have done rather well. I haven't a lot to say about Example rather than I have liked his last few singles, not had such a commentary-making career as of yet, maybe the best is still yet to come!

 

Favourite Song: Won't Go Quietly (From Won't Go Quietly)

I don't think much of Example tbh, average.

 

 

Bob Dylan again suffering as the younger members dont know him- great musician

 

Example and Chipmunk are both good, but shouldnt be higher than him

Thom Yorke had one of the most radio recognized voices of the 1990's. Yorke is the lead singer of band Radiohead who were popular with critics and consumers alike despite never having a UK number one. Yorke has also had solo success beginning in 2006 with debut album Revolver. Yorke is still regularly featured in polls of great singers. Despite, a rise in votes since nominations, I still think that he's ranked too low.

 

Favourite Song: No Surprises (from OK Computer) as part of Radiohead

Although he didn't a lot of votes he was always ranked high, proof maybe that Nick Cave has a smaller but dedicated list of fans, don't much about the fella in particular (until I researched obv.), but he has had good success with three different musical projects; The Birthday Party, Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds & a sort-of solo Grinderman, Cave remains one of the forefront alternative circuit, also branching out into novel writing and acting.

 

Favourite Song: Where The Wild Roses Grow with Kylie Minogue

Both Thom Yorke and Nick Cave do nothing for me also.

 

Wonder when people I genuinely like or love will show up!
