Parallel Reality

I wish Nicole would book herself in for performing a new single. :drama:

"Bid for first No1 is a flop" He's already had a #1! :lol: I think it's risky criticising an X Factor winner (that the PUBLIC voted to win) so soon after they won the show.

Hmm, my thoughts on some of the songs in the iTunes top 10: One Direction - Story Of My Life Okay, I know they're not very popular on here but I really don't find this song bad at all. In fact, they are usually on point with their singles and it's nice to hear something a little bit different. Hopefully the video will be good when it's out! Lady Gaga - Venus I actually like the chorus quite a lot and it is quite catchy. This is also the first song she's produced by herself. Other than that, the verses are a little awkward and weird. Justin Bieber - Recovery It sounds the same as his last three #MusicMondays singles but with sped up vocals. Nothing particularly special. Fatboy Slim & Riva Starr - Eat Sleep Rave Repeat I haven't heard this and really don't want to. The Wanted - Show Me Love (America) The chorus is quite good and it's a bit toned down compared to some of their previous stuff. It's growing on me. Lady Gaga feat. R Kelly - What Do U Want Nice to see her go for a simple pop record but it's fairly 'meh' to be honest. :( Tinie Tempah feat. John Martin - Children Of The Sun This feels like such a backstep from his last era. I'm not surprised it's not performing too well so far. The chorus is alright thanks to John Martin but everything else is just so basic which is a shame from someone as innovative as Tinie.

READ ALL ABOUT IT PART III. *Propels it back into the top 40 next week* :manson:

Oh dear. Was not expecting that. :mellow: Bye bye Miss Dynamix!!

ABI. LOL. I hope Sam C joins Miss Dynamix in the bottom 2.

I cannot stop laughing.

GAGA WHAT ARE YOU DOING

Nathan is probably the most superior member of that band vocally. If they were to split up I'd guess Nathan would have the most solo success. The song is growing on me too.

Yes, I thought the start sounds like a mixture of 'Never Leave You' by Tinchy, as well as 'Change Your Life' by Little Mix. There are both good and bad things about this single. Nathan's vocals on the first verse are really great but the rest feels a little limp.

They look really good in the video and the song is quite good too!

When I heard 'Venus' I thought it was a joke. :lol: - I have warmed to the chorus a little a couple of listens later though.

Excited to hear the Paloma Faith feature, but I'm a bit unsure as I loathed 'Trampoline' and 'Children Of The Sun' is alright.

I hope Avril can scrape top 40 but maybe that's more wishful thinking than anything else. :(

I hope either Sam C, Kingsland Road or Abi are bottom in the flash vote tonight.

Alexandra :wub: That was such a great year for X Factor finalists.

Looning aside, I imagine that's a really difficult song to sing and I think she did a good job. 5.5 - Rough Copy 3.5 - Sam C 6.5 - Hannah 8 - Nicholas 4 - Abi 6 - Miss Dynamix 9 - Sam B 3.5 - Kingsland Road 6.5 - Luke 8 - Tamera

Ha! I'm a bit stingy with my scoring, but it probably helps I don't loon over anyone.* *Except Tamera. :kink:

Not bad. 5.5 - Rough Copy 3.5 - Sam C 6.5 - Hannah 8 - Nicholas 4 - Abi 6 - Miss Dynamix 9 - Sam B 3.5 - Kingsland Road 6.5 - Luke

Awful. Awful. Awful. Awful. CRINGTASTIC. *Waits for all positive feedback* :manson: 5.5 - Rough Copy 3.5 - Sam C 6.5 - Hannah 8 - Nicholas 4 - Abi 6 - Miss Dynamix 9 - Sam B 3.5 Kingsland Road

Sam is such a good vocalist, it makes some other people in the competition look a bit like a joke! 5.5 - Rough Copy 3.5 - Sam C 6.5 - Hannah 8 - Nicholas 4 - Abi 6 - Miss Dynamix 9 - Sam B

Pretty average performance tbh. 5.5 - Rough Copy 3.5 - Sam C 6.5 - Hannah 8 - Nicholas 4 - Abi 6 - Miss Dynamix

At least it's better than last week! A bit of a ropey but intriguing performance. 5.5 - Rough Copy 3.5 - Sam C 6.5 - Hannah 8 - Nicholas 4 - Abi

That just made me laugh out loud! :lol:

I'm not even a fan of Nicholas but that was a strong performance. 5.5 - Rough Copy 3.5 - Sam C 6.5 - Hannah 8 - Nicholas
