No Camila in the Apple top 200? Yikes.

I like the song and the video is fun but musically it's very odd to have a female solo singer featuring a girl group on a track. It's clearly because they're friends and because Anne-Marie needs a hit but otherwise it's messy and it seems more of a Little Mix track than hers. Anyways I've just realized how different Jade looks in every music video lately. :lol: She always switches it up for the videos.

What the f*** is this song and video combination? For someone who screamed 'next big thing' back during Havana/Never Be The Same it's an absolute shambles that she's ended up releasing this crap only a few years later. I actually can't believe the drop in visuals, song quality and general buzz around her and this release right now. Why are all her music videos the same? I swear she's done this 'movie' filter and setting with about three other music videos so far. Why is her styling so terrible in every scene? Why is the song so bad? Jeez. What a waste. I remember seeing her sing NBTS on Jimmy Fallon the same week she hit number 1 with her single and album and everyone was genuinely convinced she'd be a superstar. I'm embarrassed for her.

I know you weren't asking me but I was on PJ for a few years until I got banned for saying Billie Eilish's performance of 'bad guy' on SNL was a let down. :lol: My ban reason was for 'winding people up'. They're a weird bunch over there.

The fact this is about to peak in it's NINTH week in the top 10. :lol: (if this somehow gets to number 1 it really will be Sweet Melody part 2)

Really? :o That would be their second highest charting single their after Reggeaton Lento!

I like it and added it to my playlist but I felt like 'Motivation' was way more an actual moment and seemed more true to who Normani is and what sort of artist she should be. This is a bit TOO laid back and I can't really see it being a hit.

I doubt there'll be another lockdown. The vaccine has changed it from being the main concern being death and hospital admissions to now everyone having to isolate constantly and thus most businesses and NHS being hit for that reason. There would be zero compliance with another lockdown.

I think they could have waited AT LEAST a few weeks to open nightclubs and stop some rules but I can sorta see the logic in them trying to let the virus burn through as many hosts as possible in the summer so there's less pressure on the NHS in the winter? There's absolutely no reason to stop mandating masks or social distancing though. None at all. As I said in the other thread the fact Scotland (and some of Wales) have been dropping in cases and hospital admissions this month is encouraging for England who seem to be a few weeks behind with effects from the Delta variant.

Guys this site is amazing - https://www.travellingtabby.com/uk-coronavirus-tracker/local I just searched Scotland and various counties within and cases are REALLY decreasing here. I can't say the same for England but I'm sure they'll follow soon after the 'Freedom Day' (ugh) rise this week.

Any idea when she's releasing music?

Is this on ACR soon?

If it's any comfort apparently cases in Scotland peaked at the start of the month and hospital admissions have also been falling recently. There's a daily post on Reddit that details everything - https://www.reddit.com/r/CoronavirusUK/comm...pdate/?sort=new

I was thinking the burglar sort out outfits from Woman Like Me. :lol: Also I know this sounds dumb but I swear with these waxworks there's so much physical stuff involved - literally every measurement and model from your entire face and body is needed, you have to spend hours and hours with the team to get it as close to your appearance as possible. It's sort of really nice that Jesy has agreed to go through with all of that. It's not like she's just at home and agreed for them to do it without her getting involved.

I doubt Jesy will have one done but it is a shame as I don't think they're established enough as a 3 piece for this. I get it's just for some cute pictures but it's quite obviously going to look incomplete - like Spice Girls without Victoria/Geri or something. :lol:

Why is Hair more viewed than Shout Out and the other Get Weird/Glory Days singles? :lol:

There was over 930 hospital admissions in the last 24 hours across the UK. :o Case numbers are flying up and deaths are creeping back up as well. We're actually having more deaths and hospital admissions than we did last summer, and accelerating towards the January peak very quickly (in terms of cases and admissions) which is extremely concerning. Finding it hard to stay positive at this point.

I can't see it doing much better worldwide at this point, and it's definitely peaked in the UK. Best hope now is that it can avoid ACR and stick around for a while. :D Think the problem worldwide is that Guetta is constantly releasing songs and none are getting a MAJOR push.

Yeah and I swear Nicole was getting her LIFE when they performed Power on X-Factor. :lol:

What did PCD say?

This is one of the most frustrating and manipulative things to come out of this last 18 months as well - labelling anyone who is hesitant about this ONE vaccine as an 'antivaxxer'. It's very clever language used to paint these people as nutjobs who think Bill Gates is installing a micropchip in our veins when really (speaking for me personally) I'm actually very pro-vaccine. *shrugs* I have no issue with anyone taking a vaccine if they want to. I just totally disagree with that bonkers post earlier stating it should be mandatory. :lol:

You do know that Covid isn't a threat to millions and millions of people in the UK? :mellow: I'm not downplaying that it CAN be serious, but only to a TINY percentage of people. The overwhelming majority of people have lived amongst Covid since February 2020 and haven't even had a sniffle. If people would rather continue taking their chances with Covid (like they have for the last 18 months fine) than potentially risk having side effects from a vaccine then that's their choice. There's been plenty of media coverage about people taking blood clots, brain aneurysms and full body paralysis from these vaccines - healthy young people who Covid would probably never have been a threat to. How would you feel about making vaccines mandatory and then some poor healthy 20 year old drops dead because of it? Who's liable? If you have the vaccine then good for you. Your chances of getting seriously ill from Covid are even smaller than they already were. You have no reason to be concerned about those refusing their vaccine. Makes no difference to your health whatsoever, and before you spin the 'BUT THEY COULD CAUSE VARIANTS!!!' nonsense remember that transmission still happens even after the vaccine and there's always going to be the possibility of the UK importing variants from other countries anyway. Stop your nonsense. One thing I've learned about this last year and a half is that people have no clue how to understand basic data. There's a population of 67 million people in the UK - a tiny tiny tiny tiny percentage of that figure have been affected by Covid.

I love Camila and can't wait until she's back. I feel like it's already been too long since 'My Oh My' but we'll see.

Didn't Jess Glynne write Woman Like Me for herself until Syco practically wrestled it out of her hands? I swear she was in various interviews talking about how much she loved it and wanted it for herself and her demo was circulating the net at the time too?

Dave/Stormzy might be a big hit, and Three Lions will almost certainly overtake this week. I can't see them getting to number 2 unless they both underperform and Olivia hits ACR in two week.
