New video Losing Myself
Amazing video! :cheer: Well done Will. As usual as per everything in this campaign - all finer details polished to perfection, sophisticated, classy and above anything else in his genre. Great single choice, cant deny i wouldnt have liked others but this is utterly brilliant. Another great video from a totally stellar album that i like even more now. I'd love a 4th single but can understand if they didnt do no more. This album deserves 500k sales....hope this will sort that out.

Happy 10th Anniversary Will!
Not only has it been 10 years since Will won Pop Idol, but also i've been a fan of Will now for 10 years! Whilst i always said Will deserved to win and i believed in him, it seemed to good to be true in some small way and i kind of felt he'd fade into obscurity and not be around long and song by song, album by album i was just so glad the music sold well so we got more. A small mention to 'Devoted' for me i know we've never seen eye to eye, i.e i'm banned but you really made being a Will fan fun - so much content thank you! And also the Will fans never from all the things i'm a fan of i think Will has the most kindest fans. So many people willing to help each other out, so many people sent me CDs and DVDs when it wasn't so easy for me to buy them and tv performances and stuff. I'm still amazed how much everyone's raised for charity by clubbing together. Truly amazing. There's been so many great things Will's done over the years and there's been a few things i haven't liked i have to admit, but the majority i look back and see six brilliant records, amazing videos, tours that are so much fun, performances that have never been anything less than sublime and always live and a singles collection that is to be proud of. Here's to another six albums, 10 years and becoming the next Elton John! ;) i.e long career, respected and still being around 40+ years on! :) I thought i'd reflect on my fave moments !? Winning the two brit awards, being crowed artist of all time twice, winning those NMA awards, performing on AI Leave Right Now Leave Right Now going number 1, Listening to the premiere of Changes, Friday's Child going Number 1 and staying top 2 for weeks and weeks Echoes hitting No.1, Jealousy going top 5 when no one expected that, Watching that Your Game video, Party at the Palace, Diana concert, Question time Hearing LRN for the first time, The FC arena tour WOW, Hearing All Time Love the first time, Henderson Presents, Bedlam, A Night With Will Young and listening to FNO for the first time. The low-s Frustration that Will wasn't being prioritsed by the label and Gareth being pushed over to wipe him out by Cowell. Hopes and Fears, Grace and Let It Go flopping in the singles charts The announcement that Keep On tour wasn't coming out on DVD The Hits only hitting Top 10, not going No.1, watching the Switch it On video for the first time thinking it reminded me of Robbie (not good). Not getting a Brit nomination this year. Oh yes, Go Will :) Still enjoy every single song even today. Here's to another 10 years in this Bizz.

Daily Will Rant Thread 2
I wish i could say it means nothing,but it does to the record industry. Its the most coveted prize in the music industry in the UK. I honestly think Will would love to win Best Male, it would be a real accomplishment- it's tough but i can still see him winning it one day, but he upped his game so much with this new album i think it was a perfect time. It's nice they've put him on the Brits CD. Personally think he was defintely 6th in the voting for the Brits. The thing that makes me feel better, is that the Brits panel dont sit on a table and go who shall we nominate/snub They all vote annoymously ticking off who they want to nominate/win and the five most ticked become the nominees. Then they dont do a new ballot after the nominations apparently, the same vote is used to reveal the winner - it's the person with the most first place rankings. That to me leads to a definite win for Ed Sheeran. That is why the most hyped person usually wins. I think a new rule of combined public and panel voting would lead to better winners. Apart from Will changing his musical style there is not much motivation nominating someone who has been around for ten years doing very well. They did nominate him 5 times for Best Male and was beaten by others, so they dont hate him. But the longer your career goes on, you will never have the hype at your time of debut. I think for Will to win he'd have to have a huge year - No.1 single and album, million selling album, a song that really breaks out every where including radio 1, and alots of publicity and i think with the right song this is going to happen maybe on the next album or the one after that. I still dont think it means nothing :( but Will is course for a double platinum album which went to No.1, and a top 5 single that has done really well. I don't think Will has anything to worry about - this would be the 'cherry on the cake'.

Will Young
I've calmed down abit now! Phew, havent felt that angry in a while. I'm sure he was 6th, and i know no one sat down and said lets not nominate Will this year, it was more of the case that when ballots where sent out to thousands of members more people ticked those other names. Without anything personal to James Morrison, i can understand the inclusion of everyone else but him on that least. He was below par Will hype wise and sales wise, Jealousy was iconic and huge. The dream would have been Will performing, Best male nom, Best British album (i know a longshot) and British single. To sum up - a Number 1 album, 400k sold, Jealousy went Top 5, Jealousy No.1 Airplay hit with no end of career insight. Actually no reality contestants where nominated bar automatic nominations for Olly and One Direction due to high sales of their singles.

Will Young
I am FUMING! :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: :blink: I mean seriously what the f***! i don't often swear but what a load of nasty bast*rds! Ed Shreen i can understand James Blake OK i get it Noel yeah they Like him whatever Professor Green can sorta understand James Morrison i mean WTF!? seriously. He's not had a great year, sold less than Will, did a duet with Jessie J that went unnoticed. No.1 album yeah yeah, everyone's got those - Mr Young's got 3 :puke2: I'm fuming he's not performing,i'm fuming he cannot win now, and i'm even more f***ing fuming he's not nominated. Will have to wait wait 2-3 years for Will to do a studio album? and get nominated? and then Robbie williams will be there. Brits you've never aknowledged him. It was always the public. He had such a huge year at the time of Leave Right Now and he didnt win and wasn't allowed to perform. Other artists who are 'cool' and 'in' have semi alright years and are welcomed tothe stage. Brits oh how you never change.I really thought you'd see Will's talent this year after a great year this year with Echoes and Jealousy.

Will Young
Stronger is one of my all time fave Will songs or as i like to call it 'Ode to Cowell' In the words of Will ''You won first place but you take second best'' and ''It only makes me Stronger When you say i cant do it I work that bit harder when you say its not within my grip The barriers, i'll break em down I'll prove myself, i'll stick around I'll get through all this somehow Nothings unreachable'' Cannot believe he's still obsessed over Gareth losing! thats sad, i mean he was more of a Westlife boyband type manager then so Gareth was perfect for him. But 10 years on, after all the talented contestants apart from Will who sing amazingly like Leona Lewis Alexandra Burke, Susan Boyle etc have gone by, can he honestly hole-heartedly say that Gareth was the best contestant and the most deserving winner? I loved Nicky and Foxy's blatant bias that they tried hiding - it was obvious they wanted Willl. I even liked how Foxy said after one of Gareths performances 'You can't really criticise your performance' because he must not have liked it, thats a rarity on talent show final. Honestly though, Will won because on the 3 songs he more than outsthone and outsang Gareth. It also restored my faith in the British public, they made the right call they say through the semi-talented teen bopper and realized that the more talented contestant should win, it was a nice surprise i think one of the best twists to a talent show, everyone sort of wanted it - but didn't think it could happen because of Gareths insane hype, but it was so satisfying. I'm sure Pete was hinting 'Everyone says they know who is going to win this competition, i say you don't know, it is so close - vote''. I actually honestly think that Gareth didn't even deserve 2nd place. Zoe and Hayley where much more talented than Gareth and deserved to be higher, i'd have preferre Zoe coming 2nd i've always said that, and then Hayley 3rd, Gareth 4th, and then Darius afterwards. Gareth wasn't the best singer on that competition, and that was obvious he's not untalented, he sing better than some boyband members i have seen, but not a patch on Will. Can you imagine how cringeworthy the Gareth montage on X Factor would be with Cowell's company in charge of producing the show, they'd make it over the top and do so many bottom 2/judges vote things to get rid of Will. Cowell would of tried anything. I do think perhaps Cowell has been misinterpreted, i don't think he said that he hates Will - he's praised him a few times on Richard and Judy, he let him be Cheryl's guest judge, he let him on to do 'Grace' and admitted to Holly on Xtra Factor he was excited to let him on, he seemed to enjoy the preformance, he even when WIll finished rushed up to clap Will and seemed 'proud'- even on World Idol LMF he praised Will for doing it his way, and for what he even admitted was a great album. I think Cowell may have been talking about the fact that even today they havent mended paths, maybe he wants Will to start the healing process!? He must not like that Will stood up to say he wasn't gonna do Suspicious Minds, Will beat his preferred winner, Leave Right Now finished the career of his preferred winner when it showed the public the comparison between the two. Cowell tried everything. Gareth got the same winners treatment, not very fair me thinks. There's a point to voting on this show isn't there? I don't think Gareth's fully to blame i mean he wanted to Win, he got shortcuts and help as he was blatantly bad a few weeks but was still praised,he got good slots everytime.

Will Programmes Scans

The Voice
Full stop the point of the whole show is VOICE. Will.i.am cannot sing. Even cheryl was better here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0WZ-TYhzKc Will young defines VOICE. He has talent show experience. Will even said he wanted it, so it's not like Will turned it down. Think Will doesn't like X Factor so he considered The Voice because he is all about that. I'm pissed really, it's all about homegrown talent and Will is one of the best. The USA chucked off the brit we sent - Cheryl. Why should we be so welcoming time and time again Will.i.am should not be on this panel, Will should. I'm still pissed as you can imagine! Don't think its gonna do anything for Will's career either way, this show won't get X Factor ratings it'll do alright thats it.

Thoughts on the 3rd single.

Will Programmes Scans
Get what you mean everyone! :wub: But...some of them aren't on ebay Echoes tour, The Hits tour and Exeter. The others are managed to find. Anyone know where the above mentioned can be bought!? Why doesn't will do an online web store like he use to anymore to sell the merchandise, what can they lose! I've never been to a Will tour and i'll never be able to go but i really like watching the concerts at home on DVD with the programme in my hand (how sad) it's a shame they do this. I do think however £10 for a programme is too much, about half that would be fine. Any one wanting to sell any of their programmes to me!? I can do paypal.

The Voice
I don't intend on watching the show in the same way i was intending to now. I'll still watch just flip through it. I was really fuming when i found out Will had not been given over this Script dude. Whatever! :angry: Oh well, they'll come crawling back when it flops and the possibility of will young becoming a judge on X Factor remains. ITV would have snubbed him if he had taken it, i think he can now remain like this but it's only a matter of time till he gets such a role. I think the real reason is Tom Jones will bring the older audience in. Will i am the cool lot. Jessie J the chart lovers. So they where missing a rock element. So either Tom or Will and i think they wanted one legend on there so that made that decision. I don't get why Will.i.am is there, apart from all the Cheryl work he's done, i find him untolerable.

Other Music
Is it wrong that i've totally warmed to Olly now!? Liking his single and albums. He has some good singles, i would even watch his tour DVD. Didn't think i'd say that a year ago. The Saturdays too. I find JLS tolerable now! even One Direction..whats wrong with me! (Still thinks Gary Barlow is over-rated ;) )

Album Chart runs.
Oh my 261k! brilliant GO WILL. This album is selling brilliantly, small amounts but consistently. The saturdays entered the chart this week at 23 with 18,000 sales Will is in his 14th week in the charts and is at 25, with 17,000 sales! Wow the comparison. A shame Come on wasn't higher, i was thinking Number 1 even but oh well. Seems X Factor ain't gonna have him on, no wonder he did Strictly. Roll on sales thanks to christmas, tour and 3rd single YAH!

Tesco selling Insatiable for £2
Nadine said Tesco ordered enough for it to go platinum i.e 300k Send back! surely a retailer cannot do that, otherwise there would be no sales like HMV selling off singles for 20p etc!! Maybe the deal was they could return a specific number and would be stuck with a specific number There's no way this album has sold anything more than 14k, but it will have sold at least 10k. Deserved so much more! :angry: So Nadine will probably lose out financially a bit if they sending so many out. Ask your sister from some Nadine goss! if she knows any more! :wub:

UK Albums
That was me ha ha :cheer: She sold 5.5k first week 2k in the second week. 1k the week after. 10,000 it has 100% sold. No way it's less than that. 3k was a generous estimate for what it has sold all this year as Tesco has had it sale online, on ebay and in stores. 13k i think is about right. Total sales are anything from 10k-14k i think.

JLS - 3rd Album Jukebox// Singles
Listening to this album right now, much better than their last poor effort :( (Outta This World) Their debut was mega impressive! :yahoo: but their second was very disappointing. This has some good stuff on - Take A Chance is one of their best songs ever. Their 3rd single, is very blah though.

COME ON - chart/airplay/twitter/snippets
Go Will :) Echoes up to No.26 this week, Come On airplay finally increasing. Think Will will defintely be platinum come Christmas. Still the christmas sales, tour sales and 3rd singles stuff sales coming 350k+ total easy. Go Will :) so deserved, such a great album. I've championed Come On as a single from the minute i heard the album. One of my fave Will songs ever.
