This is actually pretty good!

Tonight’s rank Kevin Jack and Joel Rak-Su Matt The Cutkelvins Sean and Connor

How did that also get a standing ovation? Like it was better than last week but

Jack and Joel have been my favourite so far tonight! Wasn’t expecting that

It would be amazing if she could nab an X Factor slot too, though I don’t think she will.

I saw the music video for this on TV last week. It’s a great pop single for sure - lovely song and solid video. Catchy too. I can see that being pushed in Jan/Feb time for sure! It has ‘new year, new me’ all over it.

4 acts leaving next week? This feels horribly rushed.

Paloma :wub:

A very weak show tonight - They were all limp. Vocally Lloyd was the strongest, he’ll probably sell albums around Christmas and Mother’s Day but I can’t see him sustaining a long term career. The most natural is probably Sam Black, I could imagine radio playing his voice. Connor and Sean are very likeable but I think they will lose votes as the weeks go on. The Cutkelvins look good but the vocals are a bit dodgy. I think Leon is the weakest in the competition now. Jack and Joel are okay, Jack is a lot stronger of the two though. Rak-Su probably were the best tonight but it was their weakest performance yet. Underwhelming.

Happy with the firing this week, though Lord Sugar could have fired all three IMO. Elizabeth is absolutely my favourite in the competition, but I like James too. I'm not currently a massive fan of Sarah Jane or Harrison though

I think Sharon has the strongest category this year. The boys' group is weaker than usual, most of the groups are a mess and the less said about the overs, the better.

Apologies for asking but what is ACR?

Boot camp was more or less laughably disasterous this year :lol: and I agree about the horrific editing. Georgina was fab at the end though.

There's just something so interesting and timeless about her. I keep waiting for her to get old for me but it just doesn't happen. Era after era. :wub:

This is pretty decent on first listen. I have loved a lot of her previous work, 'New York' being my favourite.

YLIMD is super catchy but I don't go back and listen to it as much as many of her other singles. There's nothing wrong with it but I don't think it's her best and find 'Take It Off' far superior as a post-album single from Animal.

Worth noting that reportedly Pitball originally wanted Rihanna for 'Timber' but she turned it down in favour for a collab with Shakira. I'm glad they got Kesha on it instead, the song really works. C'Mon is a jam and the official video is just completely bizarre. :lol: We're starting to see a lot of the good songs drop out now but that shows the quality of the records she's put out.

I love this, one of my favourites from her, ever. The chorus is so catchy too. Is she channelling Elvis and Madonna in the video??

Since when did Kesha get as high as #22?? Not complaining though, she is definitely getting more air time this week. A-list on Radio 1, Album of the week on Radio 2, frequent play on the music channels. Just turned over to see a Pink vs Kesha music video show :wub: :wub: - I hope it keeps climbing. I wonder what we'll get as a second single - 'Woman' would be ideal for October time. :wub:

'4th of July' is (and always has been) incredible :wub: - 'Acapella', 'Trick Me' and 'Bounce' are so good. Shame 'Brave' never really took off. :(

Turned on the TV to CBB and thought Isabelle was back, but it's just Sam with a tan :lol:

09 Right Round (Flo Rida ft. Kesha) - Solid hit that still sounds good. 07 Tik Tok - Obviously massive but I never liked it as much as everyone else! 09.5 Blah Blah Blah - Sa$$y 06 Dirty Picture (Taio Cruz ft. Kesha) - Kesha saved this track a little bit but the song itself isn't great. 04 My First Kiss (ft. 3OH!3) - Makes me cringe. 09 Your Love Is My Drug - Anthem 10 Take It Off - I absolutely love this. 10 We R Who We R - :wub: 08.5 Blow - So good. 09 Die Young - Really catchy and I loved it as a lead single. 11 C'mon - This is like a pop hit that's Kesha-fied but toned back a little more and I love it. Makes a good contrast and the video is crazy. 09 Crazy Kids - Some bizarre lyrics in the Will.I.Am version but the solo version is super catchy. 09 Timber - Amazing. 09 True Colours (Zedd & Kesha) - Emotional and powerful and you can tell she means every word she sings. 10 Praying - As above but even more so. An incredible record.

PLEASE. :wub: Though it would be the hardest rate ever as I love literally all the singles she's put out :lol:

Yesss! It's so good. I forget how many great songs she's put out. 'Say It Right', 'All Good Things' and 'Try' :wub: I genuinely really like 'Big Hoops' too just because it's a hot mess. :lol:
