Parallel Reality

I'm really warming to The Vamps now. Their cover of 'Best Song Ever' is really quite good, and 'Can We Dance' is also pretty good!

I love 'Work Bitch', shame to see it dropping so much. :( At least it made top 10!

I don't remember it ever being pushed as a single in the UK? I love it though, along with 'Live Your Life' and 'Dead and Gone'.

I quite like this chorus to this song but I am not interested in Dizzee in the slightest these days.

'Home' should have been a hit. AMAZING SONG. :( This is quite good too.

I think I would have struggled to choose more if it wasn't for Katy's latest era. I never took to 'Roar' and 'Unconditionally' just grates on me so much it's unreal. I haven't been mad keen on this ARTPOP era either, but at least I enjoyed 'Applause'. In terms of other songs from previous eras, Katy's released some real solid gems, especially 'Teenage Dream', 'E.T.', 'Hot N' Cold', 'I Kissed A Girl' 'Firework' etc, and 'Paparazzi' is probably one of my favourite songs ever, but saying that, I don't listen to her past hits all that much. I do like the dark depth in a lot of Gaga's songs and I often find Katy Perry's music a little too basic. I mean, 'Roar' sounds like it was written for five year olds IMO. But I think I'm going to go for GAGA.

That Gary Barlow song is just bad! I can imagine it rocketing to #1 or #2 after he performs it on X Factor later too which is a shame. I'm hoping Ellie maintains her lead throughout the week but she might get replaced by Bastille or Lily Allen (Somewhere Only we Know) later in the week I think...

09 'Fallin'' 07 'A Woman's Worth' 05 'How Come You Don't Call Me?' 06 'Gangsta Lovin'' (w/ Eve) 05 'Girlfriend' 07 'You Don't Know My Name' 10 'If I Ain't Got You' 05 'Diary' 01 'My Boo' (w/ Usher) 06 'Karma' 07 'Unbreakable' 10 'No One' 06 'Like You'll Never See Me Again' 06 'Teenage Love Affair' 08 'Superwoman' 09 'Another Way to Die' (w/ Jack White) 09 'Empire State Of Mind' (w/ Jay-Z) 10 'Doesn't Mean Anything' 11 'Try Sleeping With A Broken Heart' 08 'Empire State Of Mind (Part 2 - Broken Down)' 10 'Un-Thinkable (I'm Ready)' 09 'Girl On Fire' 10 'Brand New Me' Quite surprised 'New Day' hasn't been included, I would have hoped that it made the UK top 100 after Radio 1 backing! I think she's got a lot better recently, but she certainly has a few gems from before, but also a lot of generic R&B tracks. TSWABH and 'Brand New Me' are probably my two absolute favourites and I'd have awarded them both 11s if I could! 'The Element Of Freedom' is probably her best album! :D

I think Hannah will get a rebound vote again this week so I can see Tamera and either Rough Copy or Luke joining her.

"Singing a song as well known as Adele"?! Adele is not a song Gary! :lol: 'Someone Like You', maybe...

Nicholas is probably one of the best vocalists in the competition. (Along with Sam B) 6 - Hannah 5.5 - Luke 8 - Sam B 7.5 - Rough Copy 2 - Sam C 7 - Tamera 8.5 - Nicholas

Why are the judges surprised that certain contestants aren't connecting people, when usually, the theme of the week is based on something from a while back. Please have a current week!! 6 - Hannah 5.5 - Luke 8 - Sam B 7.5 - Rough Copy 2 - Sam C 8 - Tamera Loved that performance!

My ears hurt. I hope Sam C goes tomorrow. 6 - Hannah 5.5 - Luke 8 - Sam B 7.5 - Rough Copy 2 - Sam C

Very smooth vocals! 6 - Hannah 5.5 - Luke 8 - Sam B 7.5 - Rough Copy

6 - Hannah 5.5 - Luke 8 - Sam B Was a really good performance vocally but not one of her best. I'd like her to see her try something more current in the coming weeks...

6 - Hannah 5.5 - Luke I love this song and I quite like Luke's performances but I'm not so sure that worked too well.

6.5 - Hannah Not a bad performance but I find her diction appalling!

This track is absolutely amazing. I feel like I don't have the words to describe how much I love it, the lyrics are so good! I have LOVED some of her back catalogue but I think this could be her best yet. Just amazing. This needs to be absolutely massive. I do prefer this version to the one linked in the first post though, but both are amazing. NcK2eAVPJM8 Out of the singles, I'd have to rank them in this order: Crying For No Reason Broken Record (Just amazing, so catchy and the video is dark) Perfect Stranger (Really love the lyrics and the production!) (Aaliyah) [Great track, putting a modern spin on 'Jolene'] 5am (Really good, catchy. Solid record) Katy On A Mission (So refreshing, you can listen to it again and again) Witches' Brew (Pretty much a perfect pop record) Easy Please Me (Excellent production and beat, lyrics slightly cringeworthy) Lights On (I don't mind it but I find it a little too repetitive) What Love Is Made Of (A bit underwhelming but alright)

Really nice video here! Really hope it can allow the song to chart in the top 75 :)

I bet Tamera will be in the bottom two next week, and then Hannah again in 2 weeks time! (I think both are usually good singers btw)

Two very poor sing off performances there.

Surprised that Storm Queen managed to keep the #1 in the end! 'The Monster' is amazing. I think I like it more than LTWYL now!

'Move' is quite refreshing in the way it sounds a bit different to what's out at the moment and doesn't really have that huge chorus. I quite like it!!

Really liking 'Story Of My Life' at the moment. It sounds so wintery!

I LOVE 'Work Bitch'. Such a great comeback! :wub: GO CALL THE POLICEEEE. GO CALL THE GOVANAHHHHH.
