At last - a song at #1 for more than 3 weeks :wub:

Well no change in the top 3.. I hope something comes up and just changes everything... Oh maybe Nicole Scherzinger might (never thought i'd say that) :lol:

 

I think the top 3 next week will be Adele, The Wanted and Nicole, and hopefully with Nicole at #1 (although I think she'll be #3, like what happened with Poison :().

It's really sad. It seems you can't chart well in the UK these days without major promo, and ideally featuring a UK rapper.

 

I dont really think this is the case with Gaga though, she should have been able to get a #1 without promo and a rapper if the song was good enough. It just isn't good enough to be massive. Promotion would help obviously though as would have been releasing the song on the Sunday.

Because she co-directed the video and it's a complete rip-off of a photoshoot done by David LaChapelle.

Those are the similarities? :huh: Like S&M it was born from David's head! Bet he stole every idea from a porn festival! Just needed more money and fame!

She co-directed it! :o I dunno, I always assumed she just sits there and gets told what to do! :lol:

 

I'm so glad Adele came along and got #1! Imagine if Price Tag was still #1!! :o

Poison deserved to be No. 1. Maybe HYB can :D ADELE must be losing her power now, and if the Wanted make number 1 I'll cry, and i don't even care if it is for charity

The first time Rihanna has any creative input into a video and she's getting sued

N-Dubz!?!?! :blink:

 

EDIT: Actually, to be fair, they did have 3 weeks at #1 in 2009!! :o I always associate it to Tinchy Stryder though.

Well seeing as they look virtually identical, I'd say so. :kink:

:lol: I can't believe she actually co-directed it! :o

 

I think she should just let others be in-charge of her videos tbh, but I guess it's up to her, not up to me. :lol:

Don't think so (not a Rihanna fan)!

 

And what happened with the sue?

I Need a Doctor top 10 in scotland!!!! :heart: :w00t:

 

Teenage Dirtbag also at 35 :lol:

I'm a massive fan of LaChapelle and his groundbreaking art - have been for years where on EARTH did you get such a ridiculous idea? He, quite rightly, plans to sue for the identikit rip-off of his work that is the the S&M video. And LaChapelle needing more money and fame? Oh get some facts ffs - do your homework (I mean - had you even heard of him before the Rihanna case, from these statements I think not)....he's one of the richest and most respected photographers in the world. If not THE richest and most respected. Stop talking utter nonsense.

I'm a big Rihanna fan and I can definitely see the similarities. Not sure what's going on with it atm, think it's still in motion tbh. :unsure:

I woudl say only pics 1 and 2 may be similar (not all the way though). Rest scenes/ideas existed before the photoshoot of David! ^_^

They may have existed before it, but they still look exactly like the photoshoot. I'm quite surprised that you're denying it. :mellow: :mellow:

Well, here's the original and I think it's typical hip-hop of today. I like the Hype Squad version better.

My point about money and fame was ironic! Don't need to be so mad!

To both..yes i see some similarities (1 and 2). The point is that Mr. David didn't create those ideas from his mind! Probably inspired by S&M porn! I've been in porn festivals and i have seen those images before! So nothing new from David or Rihanna (for the specific concept)!

pics 1 the same pic 2 not really.

 

Still good to see Adele at No1 again!

Tough competition for a 5th week from Nicole and The WANTED. The WANTED will be probably do it I'm not a massive fan of them though but if it's for Comic Relief then fair enough.

 

My 200th post!

Whether or not he created the ideas completely is not the point. The point is that the entire style, colour scheme and video positions look virtually identical to those in the photoshoot. With the images right there it's rather strange that you're denying it.
