Shakira on the climb :wub:

#17 on iTunes now :D

TBF, Shakira has climbed from #110 before the performance to #19 now, three other of her songs re-entered the top 200 on iTunes, and ehr album's rebounded back into the top 40. ----------------- I don't see any problem whatsoever with people performing on xfactor. It's not manipulation - it's promotion, just like any other music/chat show where people perform, would you say other tv shows "manipulate" the charts? It just so happens that the show is watched by a third of the population, lol.

Shakira top 20 with DIA :heart: what a difference an x-factor performance can make!

Shakira back top 40 in album :cheer: and DIA top 30 :heart: for her last tour she released tickets in mid January when OF2/DB had not done well here, and she still sold out in around 6/12 hours :P

I think it'll be one of the good ones, unfortunately. maybe Danyl :( although I do think he can make it to the final, in the betting odds he's sort of not in the top, nor the bottom. maybe there won't be a theme next week? :o

go shakira, top 30! :cheer:

It's not great, but it's all right. I have trouble distinguising voices on the song, bar Danyl, Lloyd & Joe. on the subject of winners songs from the last page, I always wanted this to be one for the UK. the german pop idol winner sang it a few years ago, and it's a massive guilty pleasure LOL 3Of5DlYBZVM

DIA isn't even out officially for like another month. it's been hovering around #100-#120 for like four days now, glad it got a push into the top 40!

Listening now. I prefer the demo of "Alejandro" to the version on TFM. I liked the much more industrial feel to it

The mighty SuBo next week!! :wub: epic yay for Danyl getting through. A bit gutted Jamie went tbh :( he was my favourite alongside Danyl prior to the live finals. Really enjoyed Shakira's performance; was it me or did she sound quiet? :unsure: regardless, glad it's finally shooting up iTunes. what is the theme next week?

Shakira climbed really quick!! :wub:

Danyl is in dangerous middle ground :(

As much as I like Jamie, I think he'll be bottom two, alongside either Lloyd or possibly Jedward. The fact that they're getting better means they're not really as entertainingly bad as they used to be.

Falls to #50 this week, in its fifth week. Only a drop of two places :) 4-28-38-48-50.

only a two place drop for the She Wolf album :D

I wouldn't be surprised if it wasn't, tbh. I mean, if Leona couldn't bag a #1, and the surge ahead by Jason, then it's all in the air

Shakira at #101 now, so close! :D

oh god inorite?! I heard it hmv the other day and it's SO unbearable, her voice constantly breaks throughout.

Just a lol yet terrifying thought - what if she performs "Gypsy?" :lol:

I expected She Wolf to far much better than it has ended up doing - it seems to be one of those songs that everybody likes, or at least knows.

"Summerboy" is such an underrated GaGa song imo, one of her best :wub:

So far, i'd rate it 1| Alejandro 2| Bad Romance 3| Dance in the Dark 4| Telephone love them all though, it's hard to rate them :(

You're kidding, right? Why should she give up her obvious creativity to pander to the generic female fanbase?

Nearly got to see them perform this on Friday at Cheshire Oaks, but my parents made me leave early :(
