I'm sure there are plenty of people who love a bit of 'Walks Like Rihanna'. As the saying goes, one man's trash is another man's cover blanket...oh no, wait. :D

If Will.I.Am is this "pumped" about Leah, he might make her a success like Cher Lloyd who he also showed a lot of interest in. Leah will probably end up being more successful in the US though in the long run, again similarly to Cher Lloyd.

Who actually sings the chorus in 'Bang Bang' (the album version) because it sounds a bit like Leah imo. :lol: Keep going Icona Pop. The Wanted are still a fair bit behind Robin Thicke so ideally 'Blurred Lines' stays ahead or 'I Love It' overtakes.

Most likely. The worst thing is that 'Walks Like Rihanna' will probably the majority of its sales today - probably enough to ensure it's top 2 next Sunday. I've also bought 'I Love It'. :D Got to show my support this week. G'WON ICONA POP. :w00t:

I hope not. Last time that happened (Loreen was #1 on iTunes) Buzzjack crashed. :lol:

New iTunes thread is up. :D Icona Pop. :w00t:

Yep, it was basically a live recreation of the 'Bang Bang' music video which is also in black and white.

The thing is you can't tell the public who to vote for. The more the coaches/judges (it applies to X Factor too) go on about how *contestant* is going to win, it just reinforces the public to vote for the underdog. The British love an underdog, and always will. Sadly I have to agree that Andrea probably will go the same way as LeAnne did last year. If The Voice continues to produce winners that don't do anything charts wise within 3 months of the series finishing then I'll be surprised if the BBC have a fourth series. However, I will say kudos to BBC for actually announcing the singles are now available to download and having Andrea perform again at the end. It was more like a final compared to last years anti climax where they announced the winner and cut to the closing credits. :D

I'm actually happy Andrea won as I did prefer her to Leah personally, but I was convinced Leah had won this 7 days ago. :lol: I wonder how well Andrea will do on iTunes now that she's won.

Quite shockingly, I'd agree. I liked that version of 'Bang Bang' much more than I anticipated, and it was all Leah's bits that made the song better for me.

I wonder if 'Bang Bang' (feat. Leah McFall) will be released to iTunes tonight. :lol:

I've seen the video to 'Bang Bang' erm...once ( :D ) and wasn't impressed at all. Yet for some reason watching Leah looking awkward singing the chorus just then I couldn't help but find it funny. The most bizzare song to sing on The Voice but at least it's something different. Oddly, I thought Leah sounded better on 'Bang Bang' - her quirky style seemed to work with the bizzareness of the actual song.

Hi Rich :D 1. Delta Goodrem - Heart Hypnotic (NEW) (CR-1) Well, who saw this coming? :D I'm not talking about the fact it's #1 here. It's just not what I expected to hear at all from Delta and I really like this. Shame it ends so awkwardly but even that end section sounds good - just a shame it couldn't have been part of another song. 3. Icona Pop feat Charli XCX - I Love It (5) (CR-20-OUT-15-6-8-12-14-28-32-32-33-42-47-OUT-55-42-40-OUT-19-11-8-5-3) Coming for that #1 UK hit? I hope so. :D Safe to say if it finally does hit UK iTunes (well, they could hold it back again - you never know!!! :lol: ) I will definitely be buying this tomorrow. Hoping it's 79p to encourage more sales. 4. Mariah Carey feat Miguel - #Beautiful (6) (CR-18-14-7-9-6-4) This is also working up my chart albeit a bit lower let's just say. :P It's been a great track to listen to with the recent spell of actual good weather. 5. Taylor Swift feat Ed Sheeran - Everything Has Changed (9) (CR-49-OUT-65-OUT-12-9-5) Didn't think much of this when they performed on The Voice last weekend but then I saw the cute music video with the mini Taylor & Ed and I found a whole new love for the track. 6. Robin Thicke feat T.I. & Pharrell Williams - Blurred Lines (2) (CR-39-OUT-20-5-4-9-20-17-14-7-2-6) ...and if Icona Pop don't outsell The Wanted, I hope Robin Thicke does. I'll be in one of two teams next week depending on the outcome in the first set of midweeks. 10. Manufactured Superstars - Zombies In Love (NEW) (CR-10) Aww!!! :wub: So glad to see this making your chart, was sort of thinking it'd appear in the playlist section. I know there was a lot of dance music in BJSC this contest but I really like this track and the video is hilariously genius. :lol: 12. Sanne Salomonsen - Du & Jeg (3) (CR-15-6-3-3-12) Well, this will be one of your most infamous BJSC entries but for all the wrong reasons. Must admit it didn't rank in my top 10 - it was actually 13th in my rankings (Varakë & Numayania finished 11th and 12th respectfully) <--- bit of a Batidas exclusive as I usually only reveal my top 10s. :o 13. Avicii feat Aloe Blacc - Wake Me Up (15) (CR-20-OUT-15-13) Looks like this is going to be a smash hit for Avicii but I want to hear the official radio edit of this song (assuming there is one?). 'I Could Be The One' provided Avicii with his first #1 in my chart. It's left to be seen if this will become his second for me. 14. Tom Odell - Another Love (14) (CR-38-OUT-47-42-OUT-20-14-14) This made #13 in my chart way back in February when the EP was doing well. It's now looking set to re-enter my chart so whether it gets a new peak is left to be seen. 15. Naughty Boy feat Sam Smith - La La La (NEW) (CR-15) Maybe it's because it's done so well but I'm slowly finding myself like this more than I did when I initially heard the track. It's still not at a "whoa, tune!" level for me, but I will happily eat humble pie after predicting it'd rocket down the chart after a few weeks. 16. Rivaz - Colors (10) (CR-2-1-2-3-2-2-3-4-6-10-16) So it only took 10 weeks after entering your chart, to make an impact in mine. :lol: Still, entering at #9 in my chart is a great start for 'Colors' considering I thought it was only ok on first listen. 18. John Newman - Love Me Again (12) (CR-15-11-12-18) Still think is going to be a #1 smash when it's released a week tomorrow. Such a brilliant track, uplifting feelgood music and John Newman is a true talent - this vocals are so distinctive.

Well, Leah wasn't that great last week with 'Killing Me Softly' and still got more votes than Cleo who did a brilliant performance of 'Don't Let Go' so I think it's safe to say Leah could stand there for 3 minutes doing nothing and the public will vote for her. :lol:

I still think Matt will be the first to be eliminated. The other 3 just seem to have made a bigger impact throughout the weeks imo. Matt's come out of nowhere so whilst his version of 'Babylon' was alright, I'm still unconvinced. Leah's version of 'IWALY' was interesting and whilst they tried to RnB it up, I wasn't overly sold on it. Andrea's performance of 'My Immortal' was captivating, sang beautifully although it's my favourite Evanescence song anyways. :wub:

I've got a gut feeling the BBC are going to go all out to make Leah the winner of The Voice. It might even verge towards the levels of desperation I witnessed on Fame Academy 2 in the live final with Alex Vs Alistair. Never had I seen such a one sided show, Alistair didn't really need to be there it was obvious how the result was going to go. :D (then again Michelle Vs Mark on Pop Idol 2 wasn't much better :lol: ). So yes, I think BBC (and Will.I.Am) are hoping that they generate some post-show success this time, and Leah really is the only one who could achieve it. I'm also hoping that her cover of 'I Will Always Love You' gets spiced up like 'I Will Survive' did. I'm sure there will be a load of Mariah-esque notes thrown in to disgruntle the likes of Bre, Robot and Suedehead too. :lol: :manson:

I think 'Heart Hypnotic' is brilliant. :D Agree with Eyes, it's the best Delta single for a while and I already prefer this to 'SOTOTW'.

I really want Icona Pop to make it to no. 1 next week. The last time I really wanted a song to be #1 was 'Spectrum (Say My Name)' and it got there, and stayed there. :D Hopefully Icona Pop will win the battle, and the war at the same time. 'Walks Like Rihanna' would be the worst UK #1 since 'OWOA(TK)'. :(

Icona Pop to outsell The Wanted next week pls thnx. :dance:

I read on here it was rush released in Ireland which I didn't realise was the case. Why couldn't 'I Love It' have been "rush released" in the UK too. :( Sadly I think this means The Wanted are going to tarnish what has been a string of decent UK chart toppers in the last few of months. Sigh!!! -_- (well, it had to happen sooner or later)

When 'Dreams' entered at #2, Gabrielle broke the UK chart record for highest chart entry for a new artist with their debut single. The previous holder of this title being Crystal Waters 'Gypsy Woman' when it entered at #3 (couldn't quite overtake the sheer selling power of Cher 'The Shoop Shoop Song' though). The first artist to enter the UK charts at #1 with their debut single? Some female singer from Denmark called Whigfield. :D

Maybe people just feel Ghosty deserves a BJSC win and are backing the song regardless. :D That said, 'Bring It Back' is a choon so it'd be winner representative of the contest overall (dance dominated, dance winner). Two dance winners in 2013 would be fantastic though.

Ahh, that was a typo. It meant to say 46. :D Best to luck to everyone else who gets one entry. Espen OWNING it before we even begin. :w00t:

OHAI Gotye & SX. :D Although Espen have probably got the top 6 places wrapped up.
