Posted November 15, 200618 yr Here it is, the video for the official Children In Need 2006 single, Downtown by Emma Bunton :dance: :yahoo: The single is out next week, the same week as Take That ( :cry: :cry: ) but hopefully due to charity it should chart higher than last year's effort from Liberty X!! [flash=450,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CeXC3LYL384.swf From hmv.co.uk: Emma Bunton is not only the current star of Strictly Come Dancing but makes a welcome returns to the pop scene this autumn with brand new album 'Life In Mono'. Before then however, she releases this years official Children In Need single - her own version of the sixties classic 'Downtown', originally a hit for Petula Clark. CD1 Tracklisting: 1. Downtown [single Version] 2. Downtown [Element Remix] CD2 Tracklisting: 1. Downtown Single Version 2. Something Tells Me (Something's Going To Happen) 3. Perhaps Perhaps Perhaps 4. Downtown [Video] Which format to buy :o :rolleyes: B)????
November 15, 200618 yr Top 10 at the most... out of the charts in about 8 weeks. A bad choice of cover which offers nothing over the original, and I think her solo career will suffer for it. Just because people liked you on Strictly Come Dancing doesn't automatically equal album sales luv...
November 15, 200618 yr I think it might scrape #5 due to the fact she is on Come Dancing and if LX managed #6 surely emma will do better with all the promotion.
November 15, 200618 yr 102 and she should thank her lucky stars. I'd recommend everyone just give four quid directly to Children in Need in exchange for never having to listen to someone desperate to kickstart their career doing a pointless version of a song which already cannot be bettered. It might stop ex-pop stars queuing up to do them. All the while thinking of that lucrative follow up single and re-release of their 'greatest hits'. Cynical. Me? Nope.
November 15, 200618 yr Top 3, only Liberty X have had a flop CIN single before from what I can remember. This is rather poor though, so I wouldn't expect miracles but it's pretty much a safe bet for top 5.
November 15, 200618 yr Hopefully outside the TOP10 and drop like a stone in the following weeks! And then a TOP60 album entry and I can die happy
November 15, 200618 yr Top 20, personally I don't like this, I think it will struggle to be honest. Totally agree with u there Mikey, not very strong at all -_- Edited November 15, 200618 yr by tongting
November 15, 200618 yr :unsure: This could be big or flop. Vidoe doesn't work although one or two moments of inspiriation. Generally song not good, but it's a classic song that can reach out to a certain age group.
November 15, 200618 yr I think it could miss Top 20 tbh :o That would be a real shame because I love Emma and want her to do well, but she's just not that good :( Plus of course, I want it to do well because it's for charity - after last year's disaster Children In Need single they need to improve.
November 15, 200618 yr I actually reckon and really do hope it will do a lot better than some people expect and get at least top 5. I personally adore her version of the song and the video is good and she looks great in it.[/s][/s] Edited November 15, 200618 yr by JON
November 15, 200618 yr Don't dis Liberty X, they did well for what they got, sure it wasn't a brilliant single but they tried there best.
November 15, 200618 yr Top 10 at the most... out of the charts in about 8 weeks. A bad choice of cover which offers nothing over the original, and I think her solo career will suffer for it. Just because people liked you on Strictly Come Dancing doesn't automatically equal album sales luv... What solo career? :) I'm not complaining about her releasing a new single though. She's changed from 'Baby' to 'Babe'! :)
