Posted March 5, 200916 yr 769atcL8rpc I must say he's very stylish isn't he? :o Amazing video and a brilliant song that is addictively catchy. I think it's gonna be no1 once the Flo Rida/Comic Relief $h!t has died down. It is one of my favourite songs of the year so far :D Released 30th March physically. Unsure if the download will come before or if it will be a simultaneous release. Predict innit.
March 5, 200916 yr Top 75 Won't do well on Radio. Wrong profile for radio A-List. Not indie. Not girlie pop. Not easy listening.

March 5, 200916 yr Well seeing how nearly everyone on Buzzjack (certainly those who participate in the BJSC) thought 3 Little Words was amazing and was heavily promoted by Radio 1 yet it failed to reach the UK Top 75 (and it was available to buy on iTunes etc) ..... ..... then I struggle to see how this less catchy/annoying record will go Top 10, let alone #1.

But it's one of those i can't pin-point an exact position...
March 5, 200916 yr I loved 3 Little Words, its a shame that it didnt do well and i cant see this doing well either :(

But it's one of those i can't pin-point an exact position... OK, I was wrong it was not playlisted by Radio 1. However it was A Listed by BBC 6 Music which I listened to an awful lot back then pre Spotify so it sure as hell got on my nerves being one of the few dud tracks they had on their playlist back then. Well I wished I could escape the awful Mika meets Alphabeat meets Howard Jones record from late November last year. I must have channel hopped off the video well over a dozen times. It got played to death on Q & MTV2 video channels (& reached #2 on NME's video chart), and as for the original video. :rolleyes: fZRPM1Fn-Aw Tom Hanks in Big! (1988)
March 5, 200916 yr I'll say top 20, but HOPEFULLY a flop in the bowels of hell...I hate this guy (well, his music at least) :(
March 5, 200916 yr I'll say top 20, but HOPEFULLY a flop in the bowels of hell...I hate this guy (well, his music at least) :( I agree, his remixes are really good. But IMHO he has an awful annoying voice that renders his own material unlistenable to my ears, that could sound really good if covered by the likes of Little Boots, etc.
March 5, 200916 yr I much prefered '3 Little Words' by far, but I think this will be #1. But 3 Little Words failed to reach the Top 75 despite being available on to buy digitally on iTunes, etc.... so how why do you think this will do so much better?
March 5, 200916 yr But 3 Little Words failed to reach the Top 75 despite being available on to buy digitally on iTunes, etc.... so how why do you think this will do so much better? Because I think they'll push/hype it big style, what with the album being released off the back of it.
March 5, 200916 yr Flop, he reminds me of MIKA and there's only room for one singer of that uniqueness.
March 5, 200916 yr I love it, but it just reminds me a bit of 80s artist Howard Jones, the music just sound so 80s, the stuff that Howard Jones was into.
March 6, 200916 yr But 3 Little Words failed to reach the Top 75 despite being available on to buy digitally on iTunes, etc.... so how why do you think this will do so much better? Probably because that was a bit of a low key release. Just like "Crying Blood" and "Quicksand" by VV Brown and La Roux or maybe like the original releases of "Hometown Glory" and "Rockferry" by Adele and Duffy. I actually can't speak for the last two, I don't know how their releases were handled but I think these were the quiet releases before the the big push happens. Still, not sure about this, is it definitely his 'big release'? Even if it is, I don't know how he'll do after he made the Sound Of shortlist but didn't make the top 10 in the end.

It was NCQ due to its special packaging furthermore it was a limited/buzz release with minimal effort put in to promo and what not. But, this will flop terribly. He has a team at Island who just don't know how to market him, add to that the fact the song is totally unlisteanble for reasons aforementioned. Also the song's been pushed back to 4th May so it's not out for some time o_o Bit difficult to predict nay?
