I know it very well from back in the day. It's just light euphoric rave :wacko:

Apologies, but to these ears it is still horrible. Nothing against anyone who likes it, but I cannot stand Celine Dion's voice on anything. It's not that it's overplayed.

Simon Cowell and Pete Waterman managed that loads of times. Nobody going to mention Renee and Renato? Brilliant stuff...with such a dodgy video.

I reckon Set You Free and Stayin' Alive are on par with each other. Very different though, yes.

Thanks for this info - really useful and have saved it off! I think the JAMs video was shown for a few seconds twice, yeah. The indie top 10s are mostly available on Youtube. The video just featured Bill and Jimmy in their car.

Have you noticed that practically everything Peter Kay has ever done is prefixed with "Peter Kay's"? Does he insist on that? Surprised you're allowed to own the nation's collective nostalgia as that's practically all his act his. Hands up who remembers...the Flumps? <HUGE LAUGH> THE FLUMPS! (Pulls incredulous face) THE FLUMPS! What was that about, eh?

I won't have such things said about Little and Large and Chas and Dave - both favourites of mine as a youngster! At least Eddie's jokes were bang up to date and based on the top 10...not that funny, but up to date!

Quick though - the longer you leave it, the more +50 votes will come in for that horrible foghorn noise at the end of Titanic.

New Atlantic's 'I Know' was a TUNE, but I couldn't get anything from 'The Sunshine After the Rain' at all. I had to check if it was the same act in each case and kinda assumed that the reattribution to Berri was because they were trying to distance themselves from it a bit. I completely agree that the only positive side to the song is the Moroder rip off - and that itself doesn't even have half the power of even the 1977 mix of I Feel Love. Yet clubbers in Scotland loved it - those who simultaneously loved stuff like QFX and TTF.

Fair enough, but Saturday night viewing figures are not a measure of how good something is. Nobody could see The Generation Game or Noel's House Party ever being cancelled either but both were as the format was tired (although Jim Davidson probably killed off the former just by being involved in it). Not sure I can see myself watching as regularly in the future.

Their best thing since Strawberry Jam I reckon. Not bad.

Son of a Gun was a pretty solid dance tune, much better than the soft pap of The Original. Amazing that Jake Williams (JX) was only 16 when it was first released in 1993. Also seem to remember that Felix's Don't You Want Me was much weaker than the original 1992 release.

Lots of recent rubbish to choose from - I went for Lilo & Stitch.

Er...you got rid of Big Hero 6 this early?

Don't hold a lot of hope for the rest of the film then!

They actually said on It Takes Two last week that Helen had the highest overall score of all the couples so far so not sure it was past performance. The judges shot themselves in the foot I think. They all docked a mark for her wobble at the end and that put her way down. In terms of entertainment and difficulty the Les Mis routines was miles ahead of Katie and Anton for instance. Anyway, the programme has been running out of steam for some time and it's probably not got too long left.

Biggest selling - not best! :lol:

Yeah, it'd be nice if Spotify gave loyal customers three months at 99p but it's still a great deal. I stream stuff all day long and definitely get my money's worth out of a tenner. When I was a kid you had to either buy a record, tape or (if you were feeling flush) a CD to even hear something. That or go to the library. MP3s are practically dead now for me apart from for ye olde stuff by bands who aren't really around to get them on to Spotify (e.g. I looked for both Birdland and The Family Cat this morning but couldn't find either - found The Popguns, Cud, Galaxie 500 and a load of others though). I'm just very happy that there's a reasonably fair system out there which lets you pay for instant access to music now. There wasn't back when Napster started, and it was just too tempting to use it. I still buy records directly from bands at gigs, that way I feel I'm giving them some real money right into their hands (also having paid to attend the gig). As for big acts giving exclusives to certain streaming services only - screw them. Their music sucks anyway.

That's much too early...and annoying as we will be out. Think I'll tape it and watch it on the 23rd or some time closer to Christmas! I was wondering a bit whether John Lennon would even be mentioned on the show - when Starting Over was at 21 on the rundown they didn't seem to even acknowledge it. But then it all went dark (or grey in the case of Richard Skinner) at the end. Not sure if a lot of it had already been recorded before the news came through? At least no Abba at number one next week...

Crazy that the Aristocats has gone - the scene with the dogs in on the motorcycle is one of the funniest things in Disney history and 'Everybody Wants to be a Cat' is one of the best songs. Also can't imagine how anyone could vote for Alice in Wonderland at this stage with so much 90s and 00s tat in there - or Robin Hood come to that, but I remember that coming out on VHS when I was about 8 so I've a lot of love for it.

Wasn't massively bothered by Baby D but there was a certain level of quality in their work which was a nice break from the mid-90s cheese.

He was removed from re-showings of the video on satellite channels. I think they just went for an extended version of March of the Mods - which is the bit we all like in that record anyway.

Looks excellent and faithful to the 60s cartoons. Not sure why they've gone with The Who on the trailer, surely the Vince Guaraldi Trio instead? Definitely going to be watching this.

Good choices - glad there's no Tyson Fury in there. 1. Mo Farah (greatest male athlete in the world right now bar Bolt no matter what the crappy papers have assumed about him) 2. Jess Ennis-Hill (an amazing return) 3. Max Whitlock (was really pleased to see him nominated - GBR are doing brilliantly in gymnastics right now)

When you put "when I see an elephant fly" there, I thought Dumbo had had an early exit! Frozen and Beauty and the Beast for me (nobody else will agree with this).
