On second listen Titanium has grown on me loads and I do now prefer it to LBG. :wub: 'Lunar' is better than both though. (And all three are far better than 'Where Them Girls At' which I still like - I haven't yet heard anything I dislike from this era but 'Night Of Your Life' doesn't sound too great from the 30-second clip...)

 

I wouldn't agree with what a lot of people are saying about Titanium being Guetta's best since 'When Love Takes Over' as I don't even like that song, but I'd say it's his best since 'Memories' and 'Lunar' is his best since 'Love Don't Let Me Go (Walking Away)' (and overall my second favourite Guetta song :wub:)

 

I'm saying it's his best since 'When Love Takes Over' and 'Memories' since I love both about the same. :P

 

Titanium is amazing anyway. And very instant. I only listened to it yesterday evening, and I'm a little bit obsessed. :wub:

Good news for Christina Perri too, as she's now almost at #2!

It's strange how this week's 3 main single releases (Nero, Guetta/Sia and Charlie Simpson) are all still climbing on Thursday :o

 

EDIT: Although Nero's lead has actually decreased very marginally since my last pop bars update.

 

'Promises - EP' is still #6 on iTunes Albums :D Charlie is holding up well there as well (#12).

117. Joe Goddard ft. Valentina - Gabriel

 

Keep going! :D

I don't really like 'Gabriel' :( Shame as I'm a fan of Hot Chip and I love 'Bear Hug' as well (although that's more Raf Rundell than Joe Goddard)

Who's Laughing Now is quite bad, imo. I must be the only one who thinks Jessie J is incredibly over rated. Great voice, but her singles have all been utter crap (except for Price Tag which eventually got killed due to mass airplay).

 

Any sign of Katy B's 'Witches Brew'?

I dont think Jessie J is overrated but her label decided to rush release her debut album and it does not do her justice.The critics were very harsh and she maybe should have taken the time to write stronger songs but she still has some good songs that have not been released like Abracadabra.

The thing that confuses me about Jessie J is that her songs have nothing special to them. Who You Are, Nobody's Perfect and Who's Laughing Now, for me, all depend on her vocals and they have nothing about them that stands out as such. I don't know if I'm explaining myself that well.... They all sound quite samey, no?

 

Do It Like A Dude sounds completley different to any other song she's done, and now that I think of it Price Tag sounds quite samey to the songs I named... Hopefully her next era is as good as this one!

Nicole's starting to slow down her steam with Wet, I have doubts it will go top 10 now but I think it will hang around in the top 20, I swear if it peaks at #11 I will let out a major sigh. Just listened to Dappy - No Regrets for the first time, wow this is absolute brilliant... i really do like N Dubz and hope for Tulsia solo material. I love Comfortable

I've been following Jessie J from early 2010 - when versions of her singing 'Price Tag' and 'Stand Up' emerged on iTunes. Obviously she began as a songwriter and as such most of her songs are written about overcoming confidence issues and living life - things that the radio and the public would embrace her for. Critics then complained that she lacked originality, but it was the fans who gave such good reception early on of songs like 'Rainbow' and 'Who's Laughing Now' - so of course she was going to include them on the debut album.

 

'Do It Like a Dude' did what it was supposed to - make a breakthrough, it got people's attention. Then 'Price Tag' (a fan favourite) followed and then 'Nobody's Perfect'. 'Who's Laughing Now' didn't strike me as a very good choice of single at first, but listening to it now and watching the video; you realise that the message is there, and her fantastic voice is evident on the chorus (bar the amusing voices). I really do hope it can give her another T20 hit before 'Who You Are' is released in November.

I'd like to see a chart history of this for Jessie.

 

02 Do It Like A Dude

01 Price Tag (feat. B.o.B.)

09 Nobody's Perfect

07 Who's Laughing Now

01 Who You Are

 

I don't think 'Price Tag' deserved to be Jessie's first (and so far only) #1 though. It is definitely her worst single to date and, if WYA does a 'The Silence', her best song by far will end up her least successful.

Who You Are' is so overated! Okay it's a good song with a really amazing message, but she doesn't sing - she sreeches. It really annoys my head the way she sings that!! I'd love if they done a single version without the screeching, like they done with Nobody's Perfect..

The single version of Nobody's Perfect is more screechy :lol:
