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..

 

I just love the lyrics personally.

 

Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars

Seeing is deceiving

Dreaming is believing

It's okay not to be okay

Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart

Tears don't mean you're losing

Everybody's bruising

Just be true to who you are

 

Lyrical genius!

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

I don't like the single version at all, NP is one of my highlights of the album though!

Sietta 9

 

RizzleKicks should overtake Cher/ Ed Sheeran soon (hopefully) - the pop bars between the 3 are uber close

Christina 2

JLS 3

Am glad 'Jar Of Hearts' is up to #2 :D

GO CHRISTINA! :wub: :wub: :wub:

 

Possibly number 1 next week? I can see Emeli Sande having more of a chance than Wretch, but it'll be close between those 2, Christina and Nero, plus we can't rule out David either :o

I just love the lyrics personally.

Lyrical genius!

 

I agree. The most beautiful lyrics.

Ones To Watch (movement since my last update)

 

01 Nero - Promises

02 Christina Perri - Jar of Hearts

04 David Guetta ft Taio Cruz & Ludacris - Little Bad Girl

09 David Guetta ft Sia - Titanium

15 Bruno Mars - Marry You

25 Jessie J - Who's Laughing Now?

28 Nicole Scherzinger - Wet

29 Jay Z & Kanye West ft Beyonce - Lift Off

39 Drake - Headlines

53 Selena Gomez & The Scene - Love You Like A Love Song

106 Katy Perry ft Missy Elliott - Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)

132 Rihanna - Cheers (Drink To That)

Jar Of Hearts imo would have been number one had the price not been increased.

I just love the lyrics personally.

Yeah, those are good lyrics. And nice to see her rhyming them too. :D

 

So glad David Guetta is top 10. I hope it gets played on the radio a lot and can hang around.

I agree, Marry You #15 already :o When's the video out?

Oh f*** off Bruno Mars, never has an artist been so overrated!

Oh f*** off Bruno Mars, never has an artist been so overrated!

Couldn't agree more, all his songs are so wishy-washy and yet people seem to eat it up. WHY is he so successful?! :(

Well, um, Lady Gaga? :lol:

 

Marry You looks like it could be another #1 for him though... It's much better than his previous 3 singles though, so if it does get to #1, I'll be able to cope. :lol:

It makes me so angry/frustrated, if anyone else was releasing this material they'd be ridiculed it's bizarre. 'Grenade' is lyrically one of the worst songs I've ever heard, and this one is just as bad 'looking for something dumb to do, hey baby, I wanna marry you' wtf.

 

It's more annoying that its not just the UK either, it's worldwide success for mediocre material, really odd.

Coz he's uber-talented, writes and produces his own stuff. As well as the fact he has an amazing voice. :wub: [/loon]

 

'Marry You' is incredible and thoroughly deserving of it's success :wub:

Well his songs are hardly lyrically clever or witty?

It can be, but:

 

Just The Way You Are = carbon copy of Doesn't Mean Anything (Alicia Keys), which was miles better, and deserved the number 1 more than this overrated wong.

 

The Lazy Song = horrible song, plus very similar to I'm yours

 

Grenade was OK imo, and haven't heard Marry You tbh.

 

I like though Lighters, but he is just the featured artist there :kink:

I went to see Jessie J in April and was obssessed with her... But to be completely honest i haven't touched her album since then. DILAD is by far the best on the album, and i kind of wished the rest of the songs followed suit, but they didnt. WYA is beautiful and deserves the #1 spot eventually, it's the only one i still listen too!

 

WLN should get top 20, but i doubt it will get top 10

 

 

They don't really have to be. As long as you have a hook and lyrics people will remember (whether they think they're awful or not) then they're obvious hits. But the fact he gets involved with the music he puts out just adds to it, imo.

 

It also makes a nice change from somebody singing about the stuff he does and what not instead of just singing about being in a club dancing or "that man ain't right for me, uh-uh I'm better than that" sort of stuff.
