Best #01 of the UK this week probably. Eva Cassidy really is wonderful, truly stunning talent. Her presence manages to even make Melua just about bearable haha

 

Leon sounds flat on his "single", it's really bad :|!

The fox said to the grape on the tree you are bad! So Leon Jakcson is not Frank Sinatra but at 18 years old he can sing better than the half chart acts

Can someone tell me what the text people said about leona lol i missed it

someone text in saying Leona needs a plaster lol

someone text in saying Leona needs a plaster lol

LOL that is quite funny and im a massive fan

Thanks everyone for commenting on the chart! We've reached this week 32 pages which is this year's best! (I think)

 

Join us also next week for the Christmas chart!

It's not overly bad, he is the worst one out of all 12 of this years finalists, but he has won and there is nothing we can do to change it, so we'll just have to stick with it :(

 

I think the reason he won was that it was it was Scotland's way at getting back at us for being so cruel to (I've forgotten their names - but those Scottish brothers last year). :lol:

Eva Cassidy is amazing, 'Fields Of Gold' and her reindition of 'Somewhere Over The Rainbow' are beautiful. :wub:

 

And I'm listening to Leon 'Bum Note' Jackson (downloaded of some site), it sounds worst in studio. And thats what it all is, flat.

This is about a million times better than next week's #1. :wub:

 

Leon Jackson fans take note. That is how a cover should sound.

 

For the record here is the original hit version:

 

Louis Armstrong - What A Wonderful World (1968 UK#1)

Well said.

Louis sounds good, wasn't that just before he died?

Does nobody else find the occasional practice of a living recording artist's impressment of a somewhat more beloved dead recording artist on to a track that - one could presume - would have been rather less successful had it, say, only featured the less popular living recording artist, a bit creepy?

I'd agree with that entirely - however, call me an old crone, but Louis Armstrong's version is the very best.

I agree with you Norma, I prefer Louis Armstrong's version too, I actually would have liked them to have released Eva's version of "Over The Rainbow" instead as the Red Cross charity single, singing it on her own, as I still think it would have hit the no1 spot without Katie Melua.

There are two album charts availble that are supposed to be created by The Offical UK Chart Company, both are updated for the coming week but they are not the same. Which one uses the most up to date sales information. Thanks
