October 7, 201014 yr Author With 5 good bands gone, who do use think is going to win Band Reminder Top Buzzjack girl - Lady Gaga Top Buzzjack Man - Michael Jackson(Can he get the double?)
October 7, 201014 yr It's always suprised me that the Scissor Sisters arent slightly more popular on BuzzJack, mostly being as camp as anything, you'd expect the masses to lap it up but apparantly not. I love them anyway, Kiss You Off, She's My Man and Laura would have to be my highlights. Alphabeat started off as a very promising band with a very good debut album, but things quickly went down the pan with the second outing, and they're a bit $h!t and over now it seems. Still, Boyfriend remains a classic. N-Dubz are vile, horrific and atrocious. With the exception of their appearances on I Got Soul and Number 1, everything they touch turns to crap. This is the end of the matter, topic and discussion. Goodbye.
October 7, 201014 yr Love Scissor Sisters and Stereophonics, would have put both higher! Also really like N-Dubz. The good ones seem to be coming out now.
October 7, 201014 yr I love the song "It Can't Come Quickly Enough" from Scissor Sisters, not their usual style though.
October 7, 201014 yr Author 35 - La Roux Total Points - 130points Favourite Song - Bulletproof http://gi167.photobucket.com/groups/u140/LSF07MU1TX/MusicalBeastie.jpg La Roux are an English electropop and synthpop duo made up of singer, keyboardist, co-writer and co-producer Eleanor Kate Jackson (born 12 March 1988),[1] and keyboardist, co-writer and co-producer Ben Langmaid. Jackson describes their respective roles as "very much a half and half sharing situation... not like a singer producer outfit", but also recognizing that it often can "look like a solo act". Their music is influenced by 1980s British synthpop including Yazoo, Erasure, Depeche Mode, The Human League, Heaven 17 and Blancmange. The band's name originates from Jackson's red hair and tomboyish appearance, mingling the masculine (le roux) and feminine (la rousse) French terms; she has said: To me, it means "red-haired one" – and it does, vaguely. It's just a male version of "red-haired one", which I think is even cooler, because I'm well androgynous anyway. So it kind of makes sense. Bulletproof and In for the kill both proved a success as it passed 300k sales and in for the kill was in the uk top 10 sellers. Edited October 7, 201014 yr by lee wallace
October 7, 201014 yr Scissor Sisters and Stereophonics below N-Dubz is questionable- although Im glad they did well, Scissor Sisters are great fun and Stereophonics are rock legends of Wales, Handbags and Gladrags would be their best for me :wub: :wub: having said that, I dont mind N-Dubz, I think they work well as a trio Snow Patrol have had some truly brilliant moments- Run and Chasing Cars are true anthems, glad they finished high La Roux is far too recent to be that high- but she made brilliant music last year
October 8, 201014 yr N-Dubz :wub: Brilliant live! Although their new single is a little dissapointing.

October 8, 201014 yr Author 33 - Blondie Total Points - 132points Favourite Song - Call Me http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c299/youloveme910/Music/blondie.jpg Blondie is an American rock band, founded by singer Debbie Harry and guitarist Chris Stein. The band was a pioneer in the early American new wave and punk scenes of the mid-1970s. Their first two albums contained strong elements of these genres, and although successful in the United Kingdom and Australia, Blondie was regarded as an underground band in the United States until the release of Parallel Lines in 1978. Over the next three years, the band achieved several hit singles and became noted for its eclectic mix of musical styles incorporating elements of disco, pop, rap, and reggae, while retaining a basic style as a new wave band. Blondie broke up after the release of their sixth studio album The Hunter in 1982. Debbie Harry continued to pursue a solo career with varied results after taking a few years off to care for partner Chris Stein, who was diagnosed with pemphigus, a rare autoimmune disease of the skin. The band reformed in 1997, achieving renewed success and a number one single in the United Kingdom with "Maria" in 1999. The group toured and performed throughout the world during the following years, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2006.Blondie has sold 40 million records worldwide and is still active today, with a new album, Panic of Girls, planned for release in 2010
October 8, 201014 yr Author 32 - Jackson 5 Total Points - 146points Maximum Points - Mrrab Favourite Song - I'll be there http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g315/beverlieann/Music/Jackson02.jpg The Jackson 5 (also spelled The Jackson Five, or The Jackson 5ive), later known as The Jacksons, are an American popular music family group from Gary, Indiana. Founding group members Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon and Michael formed the group after performing in an early incarnation called The Jackson Brothers, which originally consisted of a trio of the three older brothers. Active from 1964 to 1990, the Jacksons played from a repertoire of R&B, soul, pop and later disco. During their six-and-a-half-year Motown tenure, The Jackson 5 were one of the biggest pop-music phenomena of the 1970s, and the band served as the launching pad for the solo careers of their lead singers Jermaine and Michael, the latter brother later transforming his early Motown solo fame into greater success as an adult artist. The Jackson 5 were the first act in recording history to have their first four major label singles ("I Want You Back", "ABC", "The Love You Save", and "I'll Be There") reach the top of the Billboard Hot 100.[2] Several later singles, among them "Mama's Pearl", "Never Can Say Goodbye" and "Dancing Machine", were Top 5 pop hits and number-one hits on the R&B singles chart. Most of the early hits were written and produced by a specialized songwriting team known as "The Corporation"; later Jackson 5 hits were crafted chiefly by Hal Davis, while early Jacksons hits were compiled by the team of Gamble and Huff before The Jacksons began writing and producing themselves in the late 1970s. Significantly, they were the first black teen idols to appeal equally to white audiences thanks partially to the successful promotional relations skills of Motown Records CEO Berry Gordy. With their departure from Motown to CBS in 1976, The Jacksons were forced to change their name and Jermaine was replaced with younger brother Randy as Jermaine chose to stay at Motown. After two years under the Philadelphia International Records label, they signed with Epic Records and asserted control of their songwriting, production, and image, and their success continued into the 1980s with hits such as "Shake Your Body (Down to the Ground)", "Lovely One", and "State of Shock". Their 1989 album 2300 Jackson Street was recorded without Michael and Marlon. Michael and Marlon did appear, however, on the title track. The disappointing sales of the album led to the group being dropped by their record label at the end of the year. The group has never formally broken up, but has been dormant since then, although all six brothers performed together at two Michael Jackson tribute concerts in September 2001
