OH MY ACTUAL GOD. No way! :o Did Fairytale make it to #1 on iTunes?! Incredible! It would be euphoric if it made #1 officially!

This was my response, I opened iTunes this afternoon and literally had a heart attack that she was at #2 then :lol:

 

Fairytale only got to #3 but fell quickly and peaked at #10, so she's looking like a better peak than that at least :D If she's number 1, that's the first Eurovision #1 since Gina G in 1996 :o

I was clearly being sarcastic :D

 

Don't see how you made it clear, but whatever :lol:

 

Kylie #16 :unsure:

 

I assume iTunes is f***ing up

Because you sing with it, not mime over it so yes, you are singing live, just with a bit oomph behind you. Plus its generally only used during the chorus anyway

 

Singing over something live or not is cheating because the pre recorded track covers any notes you may not able to reach. Putting the record on and singing along is not a live performance. If that was the case we could all get up on stage and sing along to whatever. I'm not dissing Kylie it seems many do it. My only question is whether it should be called "live".

Looks like loreen is slowly pulling away:

 

1 Loreen - Euphoria (Single Version) 1.0000

2 Fun. - We Are Young (feat. Janelle Monáe) 0.8500

 

:cheer:

When I was up for my rowing race at 4:30 this morning, it was at #11, so I was pretty surprised, but seeing Euphoria at #1 is just mindblowing! This better be a big hit in the UK too!

I've seen the pop idol clip and it was adequate (being kind) For me it's not about being bitter, it's just about someone's fame far outstripping any talent they have. You can fool people into liking anyone if you throw enough money at it. Also when they get to the point where somehow the press overlooks things like her blatant miming because she some how has aquirred this status. She's not the only one as you say but still.

 

I remember watching her perform in the live shows aswell. She's really wasn't as atrocious as you seem to think. :lol: People haven't been "fooled" into liking her. EVERYBODY knows she mimed when she performed Fight For This Love on X Factor, for example. It's not that people were fooled into thinking she performed it live, it's just that they simply didn't care. It was pretty obvious it wasn't live you know! :lol:

 

And the press didn't overlook her miming. Didn't it make the front page of one of the newspapers infact? And even worse a backlash happened in the press when Britney performed Womanizer. But again, those songs were still massive hits because people didn't care about miming. The songs were good, so people bought them.

:o

 

I thought it would only stay at #1 a few hours. It's success is astounding. The couple of radio plays must have really helped it!

Loreen is now 0.15 AHEAD OF Fun.!

 

Here's my little proof of it :D:

GOOD FUN it may have been but it doesn't exactly make her one of the BIGGEST POPSTARS of a GENERATION!

 

Sweet Dreams My LA EX was a big hit, but it was really Some Girls that cemented her name in the history books.

 

Some girls always get what they wanna wanna, all I seem to get is the other other. :wub:

Is this seriously some kind of joke? Kylie up ONE place? :mellow:

I literally can't. Omfg it's just so amazing I want to burst :wub:

 

(my hyperbole must be annoying by now but f the hatahz!)

#11 after just over 4 hours? Blimey, I didn't realise it had such a quick boost, I assumed as people woke up and heard it shot up!

I can't believe Alexandra is still #31. :o That's got to be one of the biggest flops in AGES!

The top five consists of Swedish, American, Canadian, Barbadian and British acts, nice international flavour for once instead of being completely US dominated :D

WTF are you on? Sweet Dreams is her only song which is regarded as a pop classic. I doubt the public have any recollection of Some Girls.

 

...Barbadian...

I believe the word you're looking for is 'Bajan'. :D

Actually you would be surprised how many people insisted she was singing live last night. I was on Twitter and the lack of intelligence in this country is scary. You're right, they don't need to be fooled. They don't care whether someone can sing. Comments like "who cares if she mimes, she's hot" just about sum it up LOL Well buy a poster then not her cd!

Yes. Oops! Old habits die hard :lol:

 

Surprised to see fun. in dark red and Loreen in dark green still gaining, word of mouth must be spreading.

The Radio 1 Head of Music, who chairs the Radio 1 playlist meeting, is George Ergatoudis. His email (I believe) is george.ergatoudis@bbc.co.uk . If you were desperate to get Euphoria playlisted on the station, then he is the person to email-bomb.

:whistle:

 

Cheryl didn't sing a note live because she can't. To me if you have to pre record your voice and sing over it you can't sing very well. I only mentioned it because people were saying Tulisa was worse but although she was out of tune it was all live. We have a difference of opinion here but I think Kylie mimed most of it which meant the comparison with Tulisa was unfair. Was just a general point I don't care if Kylie sang live or not to be honest.

 

I don't like the accusations that she can't sing live when she pulls off performances like that. Like Liam says, she seems more bothered about "putting on a show" (which she is good at I think) as opposed to doing both, I appreciate it's hard to do both though, but when you're a guest star on a show called 'The Voice', people expect you to sing live. So she should have done a special acoustic version of the song or something.

I emailed the Radio 1 guy about Euphoria as well :lol:

 

(I'll try and shut up about Euphoria now, every post I've made today practically has it included in some form :lol:

Yeah, I guess. I don't think I'd even heard of Twitter back then though. :lol:
