May 17, 201114 yr Hey :D , my comments this week: 1. Blue - I Can (1) (CR-3-2-2-2-1-1-1-1-1) 11th was low :( . I was hoping for top 5 at least! Truly bizarre set of scores this year! 2. Lady Gaga - The Edge Of Glory (NEW) (CR-2) This is quite good, but I am preferring Judas at the moment. Very much looking forward to the album next week 3. Nadine Beiler - The Secret Is Love (7) (CR-3-1-2-6-7-4-5-5-5-6-7-3) So glad she qualified, but 18th was very low, I thought she'd smash all the competition on the ballad front, especially Slovenia who did far better than I expected 4. Amaury Vassili - Sognu (9) (CR-75-31-12-8-12-17-15-8-9-4) Not surprised to see it flop. I have now started to appreciate it a little more now though 5. Eric Saade - Popular (2) (CR-16-5-7-5-6-6-7-7-8-9-2-5) Shocked at how well this did though :o 10. Take That - Love Love (NEW) (CR-10) This is pretty great, shame it wasn't on the album though 13. Kati Wolf - What About My Dreams (25) (CR-57-44-38-43-44-35-26-26-25-13) Amazing song, but her performance looked very laboured, which was a shame 18. Getter Jaani - Rockefeller Street (19) (CR-19-32-OUT-32-32-38-24-23-24-21-18-17-19-18) 24th was unjust :( 22. Sjonni's Friends - Coming Home (63) (CR-54-OUT-67-OUT-67-OUT-65-63-22) One of the big growers of this year's contest for me 31. Lena Meyer-Landrut - Taken By A Stranger (39) (CR-24-22-14-5-10-15-22-29-32-28-28-31-34-39-31) Longest Runner She gave an amazing performance of this on Saturday. So glad it came top 10! 33. Caro Emerald - A Night Like This (24) (CR-13-8-4-2-2-2-5-15-24-OUT-65-37-31-24-33) I was shocked to see her album in Tesco, where did all her latest publicity come from? Did I miss her appear on a show? :unsure: 39. Ell & Nikki - Running Scared (44) (CR-33-26-37-27-29-32-36-44-39) Nice song, but the performance was far from winner worthy 64. Danny feat Freya - If Only You (NEW) (CR-64) Hope this is a UK hit, but I doubt it will be. I prefer the original version myself
May 17, 201114 yr Author Hello Rich. How are you? :D 1. Blue - I Can (1) (CR-3-2-2-2-1-1-1-1-1) Brilliant performance on Saturday. Gutted they missed out on a top 10 placing (JUST!) but I'm still pleased they managed to get so high. The start of a new beginning for the UK I reckon. 2. Lady Gaga - The Edge Of Glory (NEW) (CR-2) Incredible song. GaGa back to her best! Really, really pleased it's a big hit for her. 3. Nadine Beiler - The Secret Is Love (7) (CR-3-1-2-6-7-4-5-5-5-6-7-3) 5. Eric Saade - Popular (2) (CR-16-5-7-5-6-6-7-7-8-9-2-5) Still growing on me. It's a very, very good song! 6.

I knew it'd do well, but I didn't think it'd actually win. Pleased for them though :wub: 40. Wiz Khalifa - Roll Up (38) (CR-36-43-OUT-56-46-38-40) Heard this for the first time yesterday and it's a thousand times better than 'Black & Yellow'! 42. Rihanna - California King Bed (47) (CR-14-5-11-OUT-54-40-40-39-47-42) Amazing song and the video is beautiful! The best she's looked this era so far. 44.

Thanks Jonjo, I'm good! 1. I really hope you're right, I'd love to see the UK to be a force to be reckoned with again, maybe this year was just a warm up for our sensational win next year :kink: 2. Completely agree, I much prefer it to anything else leaked so far from this era! I fail to see why she launched with the worst song as well :lol: 18. No idea! I always thought the bookies were being a bit generous with it as the second favourite for all those weeks but I thought low top ten at worst still :lol: 28. Yes, a rare appearance! This is a beautiful version :D 39. You and me both :lol: Not too disappointed then, at least they blocked Italy from winning *shudders* 40. I completely agree, Black & Yellow was ok but a little repetitive... 65. Well it's completely different, it's Katy Perry type electropop so hard to compare :lol: 67. I finally downloaded her album! 75. Haha, I know what you mean, I can't see it climbing too much higher for me... Hey :D , my comments this week: 1.

Danny feat Freya - If Only You (NEW) (CR-64) Hope this is a UK hit, but I doubt it will be. I prefer the original version myself Hey Ghosty! 1. I completely agree, although I'm not completely disgusted at 11th just because it still beat all of the other major favourites :lol: 2. I've already pre-ordered the deluxe edition! I definitely prefer this to Judas! 3. Yeah, I don't know what happened there - I thought she'd make Azerbaijan look weak, and I thought that she did to be honest, their vocal was very ropey following hers. Oh well, what do I know, they went on to win :lol: 4. See I was sure they would win, right up until after he performed. There was no buzz about it and it all seemed a little cold - that was when I thought, ok this isn't a winner :lol: I certainly didn't expect it to miss the top ten though! 5. I'd predicted 5th for it (Sweden's standard place for a hit!) but I'm glad he did slightly better - proves that MF isn't completely worthless :lol: 10. Yeah it's really good! They've been excellent this era, far better singles than The Circus had. 13. I know what you mean, I really didn't expect it to flop SO hard though. 18. Likewise this, what the hell happened? :lol: 22. And me, although I've always had a soft spot for it, hence why it keeps on re-entering! 33. Just Radio 2 a-listing A Night Like This again to be honest, shame that can't be a hit single but I guess she was always going to be more of an albums artist here - still, the fact that she's charting it at all is good enough for me! 39. I completely agree - still at least they blocked Italy from a win, and you thought it couldn't get any worse than a France win - a sickening shock almost happened there :lol: 64. So do I actually, although this version is decent enough. I can't see him having a hit with it :(

We need to send someone special next year, big enough in the UK but relatively unknown in Europe (like those who enter Eurovision - Big in their homelands but not big enough to reach the UK) a song like 'I Can' and we're well away. 02. Ha! I definitely agree. BTW is still disappointing to me and it baffles me as to why she chose that over the likes of 'Judas', 'Hair' and 'Edge of Glory' as the lead singles. 65. Haha! Just listening now (it's amazing) and it's 3 minutes long!! Maybe we should send THIS next year? :kink: 67. So I see :D What do you think? 'Roman's Revenge', 'Fly', 'These Girls Fall Like Dominoes' and obviously 'Super Bass' are my favourites. But it's a surprisingly strong album I thought...

Agreed, although I'm genuinely expecting the worst. I hope the BBC don't think 'well we've tried our best and can't come top ten so thats it'. Still, I'd prefer an amazing song over a known artist, it's not like Ell & Nikki are household names anywhere :lol: 2. Indeed, I still can't listen to the song. It came on when I was out clubbing last week and I left the dancefloor, as did most people :lol: They all came roaring back for Gina G and hour or two later though. Ooh Aah...Just A Little Bit >>>>>> x 10,000,000 >>> Sweet 7 >> Born This Way 65. I think it's against the rules :( 67. It's good, but I don't 'love' it, there seems to be a fair bit of filler. I like all of the ones you picked out the most unsurprisingly :lol:
May 17, 201114 yr Hey Rich. Haven't commented for a long time but Here I Am :P 1. Blue - I Can (1) (CR-3-2-2-2-1-1-1-1-1) :wub: :wub: :wub: Echo everyone with the disappointment that we just missed out on top 10 considering our fab start but we did beat France which was boring IMO and also I've worked out it's the UK's 3rd highest placing in Eurovision between 98-2011 coming after Jade and Jessica respectively so that's another good thing. 2. Lady Gaga - The Edge Of Glory (NEW) (CR-2) LOVE IT. My fave of her new material. This needs to go number 1 officially at some point. 3. Nadine Beiler - The Secret Is Love (7) (CR-3-1-2-6-7-4-5-5-5-6-7-3) Loved this. Very strong vocal performance 6. Jennifer Lopez feat Pitbull - On The Floor (4) (CR-11-16-30-OUT-42-9-6-4-1-1-1-2-2-3-4-6) Longest Runner 7. Wynter Gordon - Dirty Talk (3) (CR-41-42-OUT-35-19-13-5-3-7) 11.

Ell & Nikki - Running Scared (44) (CR-33-26-37-27-29-32-36-44-39) Why so low. This was a deserving shock win IMO. Much better than France and Italy. Fab :cheer: Edited May 17, 201114 yr by Rob Summers
May 17, 201114 yr Author Thanks for replying Rob! I expect Ell & Nikki will climb for me this week and it's been lingering around my chart for a while as you can see but it's never been one of my absolute favourites!

May 18, 201114 yr Hey Ghosty! 1. I completely agree, although I'm not completely disgusted at 11th just because it still beat all of the other major favourites :lol: 2. I've already pre-ordered the deluxe edition! I definitely prefer this to Judas! 3. Yeah, I don't know what happened there - I thought she'd make Azerbaijan look weak, and I thought that she did to be honest, their vocal was very ropey following hers.

Likewise this, what the hell happened? :lol: 22. And me, although I've always had a soft spot for it, hence why it keeps on re-entering! 33. Just Radio 2 a-listing A Night Like This again to be honest, shame that can't be a hit single but I guess she was always going to be more of an albums artist here - still, the fact that she's charting it at all is good enough for me! 39. I completely agree - still at least they blocked Italy from a win, and you thought it couldn't get any worse than a France win - a sickening shock almost happened there :lol: 64. So do I actually, although this version is decent enough. I can't see him having a hit with it :( 02 - I looked at the deluxe edition, but figured that the standard version is sufficient enough for me. 03 - I thought that would be the case too, and even more so with Slovenia following it. This year's contest was certainly the least predictable since maybe 2001/2. 04 - I got the same feeling as Norway 2010, a general sense of being underwhelmed. What I also found very strange was the fact they used the most boring part of the song for the recap :wacko: 05 - I thought his live vocal was dreadful, and I reckoned the lyrics would let him down also, but I guess the music and general staging of it helped far more than I expected it to. At least next year's MF should be good now! 13 - I thought it would, it was one of just two predictions I got spot on :lol: . Eurovision is evolving like it did after Diva in 1998, only this time it's sadly leaving the uptempo pop numbers behind. In a couple of years, I think Eurovision will be one of the most contempory music events of the music calendar. 18 - I don't know! Maybe it was the dancers that did it? Or following Jedward and Eric? :unsure: 33 - Definitely, I still can't quite get over the fact Radio 1 are completely ignoring her. 39 - I actually quite liked the Italian entry in the end, it sounded brilliant after France. But yes, it wouldn't have been a great winner :lol: 64 - Sadly not. They should give In The Club a big push here.

Oh I definitely agree, perhaps it's the effect of having such a close contest with no conclusive runaway hits...I mean I like the closeness of the results but not so overjoyed at the unpopular winner and crap popping up in the top five :lol: 5. The music, the staging, his looks :lol: The amount of girls flooding Facebook and Twitter raving about him was insane! It proves once again, as did Ell & Nikki, that you do NOT need to put in a perfect vocal to deliver a song effectively. It's a song contest, not X Factor! 13. I know what you mean, although Popular's modern schlager imo - it seems like the pop will have to be more like that with a modern edge than the piano led Eurodance type schlager which is now old hat. 18. Yeah, I definitely don't think that the draw helped it one bit... 33. Really? I don't see why, she's not the sort of artist I'd have ever imagined them playing - especially when Radio 2 are lapping her up to compensate. The only Euro acts that make it onto the Radio 1 playlist are dance and indie artists. Not pop and certainly not jazz. 39. It's just not my cup of tea whatsoever, and would have been the worst winner for me since I can remember watching :lol: Even worse than Marie N! 64. Agreed, with that ready to go I don't get the logic in releasing an inferior version of a 4 year old track.

She's contempory enough whilst maintaining a vintage edge that a lot of young listeners like! Then again, Radio 1 are very narrowminded :drama:

Yeah, Russia came across as very Eric Saade on a budget, they weren't helped at all by going on a couple of songs after him :lol: 33. Whilst I agree with you that she has a contemporary and vintage edge, Radio 1 don't usually think outside the box - it's either pop, dance, indie, urban or dubstep. Jazz, latin, classical, metal, opera, Scandipop etc...it doesn't matter if they throw up a shock hit somehow, Radio 1 won't be playing it :lol: Other genres only seem to get exposure through adverts and TV shows now, certainly not through radio :( It's a shame as the charts have the potential to be so good and varied if only people were exposed to the music.
May 18, 201114 yr Hey :) Never realised "Popular" wasnt a #1 for you :o San Francisco is such a California Gurls rip off :lol: But its a guilty pleasure :P Really like "Running Scared", prolly my favourite song this year, but shame they can't sing to save their lives :lol: Until It Beats No More is gorgeous :wub: Great chart!

I've always enjoyed her music & I hope she continues to release singles as good as this one. Not sure how well Katy Perry's next single will do, it just doesn't seem to have the hit potential as her other songs, plus it's a fifth single. Great chart as always!

Thanks West, Agreed about The Edge Of Glory, the album's pretty great on the whole too :wub: I think Katy's new song will do alright, it's always been one of my favourites and contrasts nicely from E.T. Although I get what you mean, not many artists can smash with a 5th release...
