Kingdrick slaying non top 30 faves *.*

This song is fantastic and I'm not usually that keen on Alicia's material! Kendrick Lamar sounds very much out of place though.

I didn't like that she sang without moving like an Adele's performance. She should grab the microphone and sang this song around the arena.

It's better that she didn't want to be an Adele imo and I don't think a different performance would have changed the points for Molly tbh.

Absolutely HATE the rap at the start of this song, but Alicia sounds fab, as always! Thank god a no-rap version exists :kink:

It would be awesome if Alicia wore a Spiderman's costume in her videoclip.. :P

In terms of bottom related songs...

 

Big Sean/Nicki (A$$)>>>Flo Rida/Pitbull (Can't Believe It)>>>>This

 

:lol:

 

 

I'm assuming Sir Mix A Lot - Baby Got Back is so far in front you didn't see it necessary include it :P

 

Really like this Alicia Keys song, Kendrick's part feels a bit shoehorned in though.

Love this Alicia Keys song! Kendrick's rap at the start is the best bit though.

It's better that she didn't want to be an Adele imo and I don't think a different performance would have changed the points for Molly tbh.

 

But her perfrormance wasn't memorable. If she sang around the arena, it could be better for her.

This week's dropouts

34 28 5 Paolo Nutini Scream (Funk My Life Up)

36 27 9 The Chainsmokers #SELFIE

37 31 6 FAUL and Wad Ad vs. Pnau Changes

38 33 8 DVBBS and Borgeous feat. Tinie Tempah Tsunami (Jump)

 

at least Dvbbs & Borgeous got 8 weeks top 40, it could've been a lot worse. Shame for Faul & Wad Ad only having 6 weeks though, it shouldn't have fell so badly :(

 

But her perfrormance wasn't memorable. If she sang around the arena, it could be better for her.

Conchita Wurst's performance was even worse, still she won :D

It's On Again is great, it's really growing on me. I love Alicia's voice *-*

WHUT? Pharrell's album was so instant! :o

Conchita Wurst's performance was even worse, stil she won :D

 

Conchita has the definition of a diva song. Divas never move.. :smoke:

Absolutely LOVING 'Marilyn Monroe' right now :wub: Decent climb this week but it seems to have stalled on iTunes now :(

Changes doesn't deserve that chart run. What an amazing song. I hope Jubel does a bit better:.
