Parallel Reality

'YNTSLY' has lost its shine pretty quickly for me. :(

I never thought Becky Hill would be the one to have success in the singles chart from the first series of The Voice! --- 5AM IS AN ANTHEM :wub:

'Show Me Love' has actually grown on me so much. Nathan! :wub:

I expected this to do better considering she had a performance on X Factor.

'Give It 2 U' is really growing on me and I'm starting to think it sounds good now. I feel dirty. :lol:

I'm not a massive fan of these 'shortened versions', some have butchered my favourite parts!

Please can this song die now. :arrr: Saying that, although he really creeps me out, he was quite good vocally on X Factor the other week (And Alan Carr when he sang GI2U this week)

Despite not hearing 'Thunder' I think Jessie J should have gone with 'Sexy Lady' for the next single. It is a bit generic but it's not too screechy, and I think it'd help to bring this era up a little.

Glad 'You Make Me' got another week in the top 40! Far superior to 'Wake Me Up' IMO (but I do like that too)...

I actually found 'Sail' a bit boring but it wasn't bad. Glad 'Same Love' was a success here, I wasn't sure how strong the airplay would be.

Another great performance by Tamera. They need to stop trying to make her seem like a sweet little girl though because she's not and I love that! 9 - Sam B 9 - Nicholas 8.5 - Tamera 8 - Luke 7.5 - Rough Copy 7 - Abi 6.5 - Hannah

Quite smooth vocals but I found it a little underwhelming (but they did pick up at the end) 9 - Sam B 9 - Nicholas 8 - Luke 7.5 - Rough Copy 7 - Abi 6.5 - Hannah

It was okay but I didn't find it that special. 9 - Sam B 9 - Nicholas 8 - Luke 7 - Abi 6.5 - Hannah

Nicholas' performance was great and so effortless. Luke's was very good too!! 9 - Sam B 9 - Nicholas 8 - Luke 7 - Abi

Great as usual. 9 - Sam B 7 - Abi

I quite liked Abi's performance. It was Lana-esque in places! 7 - Abi

'5AM' by Katy B is a fantastic track, how I wish it was so much higher. :(

I would love for Rihanna to have another #1 single to her discography. She hasn't had one yet this year and 'The Monster' is very good. Will also be nice to see Eminem get another after 'LTWYL' should have got there.

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.
