May 30, 200619 yr yea but alot of artists have changed, look at mariah carey, her music style has changed alot Mariah Carey just releases music these days to sell in the US, and that is one of the main reasons I hate her. She doesn't care about sticking to her roots or being artistic and daring to release pop incase it doesn't sell, so instead she just releases cheap R&B/pop to shift units. I mean, she has enough money and fans to not care if it doesn't sell, and look at Britney and Madonna, they still dare to release pop and it far from flops on a worldwide scale. I hope Nelly Furtado doesn't move in Mariah's direction, but I'm liking 'Maneater' a lot...
May 30, 200619 yr Thanx to David: 5678s – Woo Hoo [don't know the song or the group] AFI (A Fire Inside) – Miss Murder [?] Automatic – Monster [?] Boards Of Canada – Trans Canada Highway (EP) [not chart eligible] Branded - Tits Out [?] Crazy Frog - We Are The Champions (Ding A Ding Dong) [i really hope this flop so badly] Drips - 16 16 Six [?] Duncan James – Sooner Or Later [another one ? Please stop them ! The video is nice, the song is dull, he's got a nice face, so he could sell a lot of records... ] Embrace – World At Your Feet [can't stand embrace, sorry !] Fightstar – Hazy Eyes [..] Gary Numan – In A Dark Place [won't chart so high] Hope Of The States – Sing It Out [nope] Jose Gonzalez – Hand On Your Heart [Kylie cover???????????????????????????????????????????] Koopa - Stand Up For England [could you really go into a shop and ask for Koopa ? ] Lordi – Hard Rock Hallelujah [6th June] [maybe they'd chart high... even if it's all make up] Mariah Carey – Say Something [song good, video hot but it's the 5th single off TEOM...] Men Women & Children – Dance In My Blood [oh well] Michael Jackson – Earth Song [flop, even if it was#1] Missy Elliott – 123 [Missy !!! Is this really out ?] Ned’s Atomic Dustbin – Hibernation [oh well] Nelly Furtado – Maneater [considering all, she could do very well... the song is very good, very mainstream, she is so hot in the video... her prev album didn't do that well, tho'...] Nickelback – Savin’ Me [save us from Nickelback!] Ricky – We Are England [Will this football UK obsession ever stop ? What about a footballGate like it's now in Italy ? ] Soho Dolls – Stripper ["May I have one (copy of) stripper?" could you really ask this ? ] Streets – Never Went To Church [album reviews quite bad, but this song... it could do well... what about the video ? ] Sugababes – Follow Me Home [yes, Suga' ! go home ! and lock inside !] Suzi Quatro – I’ll Walk Through The Fire With You [won't chart that high] Teamsters – Feels Like Love [feels like... it's not ;) ] So, she can do well, not great contenders... Top3 if she's very luck... LifeLight
May 30, 200619 yr She be Top 3 if she is lucky, not really great releases in the same week, there seems to be a lot of footie songs generating at the moment, and most of those will flop, so Nelly could be an outsider for the No.1 the following week. She will be outdone by Embrace though.
May 30, 200619 yr Is the Embrace song so good ? I think there is a re-release of Lighting Seeds song... LifeLight
May 30, 200619 yr yea but alot of artists have changed, look at mariah carey, her music style has changed alot But that was gradual. This is so extreme. And like Shoat, I'm worried this change in style is a pursuit of better sales.

I hope Nelly Furtado doesn't move in Mariah's direction, but I'm liking 'Maneater' a lot... I'd like to see Mariah release more pure pop too. Her mid 90s stuff was great. However I don't think she's suddenly changed her style to sell records. 'Charmbracelet' was very safe RnB - and sold poorly. The last album had fewer rappers on it and has sold a lot more so I'm not sure your theory works. Also, her record boss / husband would never let her release her more urban stuff, instead forcing her to release ballads and poppy lead singles. She releases RnB now because she couldn't then. It's childish but I don't think it's as calculated as you think.
June 4, 200619 yr My opinion on the track has suddenly changed, its a dead cert for No.1 next week, sales wise I'm thinking 48k plus
June 4, 200619 yr I have liked the song since I first heard it. The video is OK but a bit run of the mill stuff. I voted for it the be top 3, but I totally agree with Mikey & e-motion. It looks a dead cert for number 1 next week.
June 4, 200619 yr I didn't like it at all at first, but LOVE it now! #8 on downloads alone, so I'm thinking #1 :cheer:
June 4, 200619 yr #1 ?? Nah. Bear in mind 'Rihanna - S.O.S' charted at #5 purely on downloads,yet only managed the #2 slot a few weeks ago. I can't get into 'ManEater',heard it 3 times and it hasn't quite grabbed me by the nodules as yet. I'll say #2 next week,can't see this making #1 TBH. :)
June 4, 200619 yr Bear in mind 'Rihanna - S.O.S' charted at #5 purely on downloads,yet only managed the #2 slot a few weeks ago. Only because of Gnarls Barkley in the way, which is fair enough, what competition does this have setting it back? I think it'll sail all the way to #1, selling 45k. :dance:

June 4, 200619 yr Sandi has no chance I think. :huh: Oh well,I have been wrong before.We'll find out when the 'predictions' are revealed. ;)
June 5, 200619 yr I like Maneater. Yes, Nelly's previous stuff was a lot better, but this track is still pretty good. I hope it does get to number one, if nothing else to knock Sandi Thom off there.
