Would you like Taylor Swift if she looked like Susan Boyle?

 

When I'm listening to music on my iPod, how does it matter what the singer looks like? :)

Its this years Eminem and Rihanna, but its not going to peak Adele SLY sales.

 

I would say it's this year's Your Song but maybe that's just the inner Ellie stan in me.

:huh:

 

You cannot really mean that, can you? The reason Taylor Swift is popular is her beauty? I understand you do not like her but be reasonable she is talented. B-)

 

Or perhaps I missunderstood somthing; I see you two have been replying back and forth so it could be something personal :lol:

That's probably a better comparison, since LTWYL only spent like 36 hours at #1 in total, whist Your Song was getting to #1 on iTunes at the end of every week, which is similar to what Moves Like Jagger is doing. And I think MLJ will sell closer to 600,000 than to a million aswell.

 

About Taylor Swift, I think most of the people that like her, genuinely like her music, and most people that don't genuinely don't like her music. :lol:

 

Plus, a lot of Taylor Swift fans don't like artists such as Ke$ha (the two have pretty much opposite fanbases!), but surely if people were liking artists based on what they looked like, they'd like both of them. I know there's some people that like both though. :lol:

No Sleep in the top 300! :o :o I didn't even bother checking for it, I was that sure it'd flop! :lol: I don't think his 3rd single even entered the top 1000 on iTunes (although it wasn't promoted as a single here, which might be part of the reason :lol:).

 

Interesting to see a version of Stereo Hearts up there already.

It's released the week Matt Cardle releases his single isn't it? I'm surprised nobody picked up on Stereo Hearts on the 'predict upcoming hits' thread that was opened a few days ago.

 

Cover version might be up there because it's the VIP track of the week on the music stations so it is pretty much being played every day quite regularly. Heard it on CapitalFM a few times the past week actually.

I can't believe Rihanna is now at #20. I swear it was at #26 when I looked earlier. What a massive era she's had - And Fly is doing brilliantly too.

 

You and I has finally grown on me so I hope this can get a respectable peak eventually.

... and i think it will. Gaga's on Jonathon Ross on October 8th which should help, and hopefully X Factor a few weeks after (although she may have moved onto the next single - which better be MTN by then) :P

I think I read somewhere next single is Electric Chapel :unsure:

You and I is my favourite of the Born This Way era but it is not doing that well for now. Sunday is the official release date isn't it? :unsure:

It looks like it will peak outside the top 15 :(

:huh:

 

You cannot really mean that, can you? The reason Taylor Swift is popular is her beauty? I understand you do not like her but be reasonable she is talented. B-)

 

Or perhaps I missunderstood somthing; I see you two have been replying back and forth so it could be something personal :lol:

 

We're talking about vidcapper here. He'd like Eminem if he was an attractive female singer.

Why do people on this forum seem incapable of spelling Jonathan Ross' name? I was starting to think I was wrong as I don't think I've ever seen his name spelled correctly!

I hope the next single will be that unicorn song.

:huh:

Oh if you read vidcapper's posts a lot being a hot woman in music is very advantageous to him. It does appear that he only likes music by people who he finds attractive.

I hope the next single will be that unicorn song.

It's called Highway Unicorn (Road To Love) :P

 

 

It's one of my favourites, but it wouldn't be a bad choice of single tbh. I'd choose Hair or Americano for Europe though.

Does anyone find it funny that Man Down is labelled as explicit, but Cheers isn't? :lol:

Marry The Night would be perfect. We can hope for now as her single choices so far have been interesting...

No, because MD is explicit and Cheers isn't? :unsure:
