OK - last chance to vote! Will close this thread tomorrow night and post the results the day after (finally!)

Is that really the artwork? I thought that was fan made... Rabiosa could be decent summer hit. It's short and catchy. She just needs to promote it like a proper single though.

This isn't great. Flo Rida is generally just awful and even Nicki doesn't redeem the rest of the track. Disappointed.

f*** Him He's A DJ is my new favourite Ke$ha song (it will revert back to Animal soon).

Best Britney video since forever ago.

I think this album is more garage than dubstep. I quite like this album...no, there's nothing particularly catchy on there but it's very listenable. And Witches Brew is wonderful. I also quite like Easy Please Me and Perfect Stranger.

This ain't bad... it sounds like it could be a grower. Production wise and the "nananas" it is similar to What's My Name, but melodically it's completely different. It's just another Stargate production that fits with Rude Boy, Te Amo, Lose Control, WMN. I think I prefer the Taio Cruz demo.

Agree. The chorus sounds like a pre-chorus.

The problem with Kat Deluna is that there's something undeniably naff about her - everything from her image to her over the top voice. Dancing Tonight is the first time she doesn't look or sound naff...and then comes the completely unnecessary salsa break. NO.

Yeah, both J Lo's and Pitbull's Spanish is pretty questionable.

Dead.

This album is ridiculously strong. Some songs are a bit samey - Trouble For Me, Seal It With A Kiss and Trip To Your Heart kinda blend into one at the moment. However, there isn't any filler whatsoever on this album.

I Follow Rivers and Sadness Is A Blessing are my favourites so far. I love the production on this album...it's like an earthy-tribal-60s mash up.

That is no guarantee of success, do you not remember Her Name Is Nicole? Oh no, because it never got released.

Irreplaceable is one of Beyoncé's best songs, can't believe people are voting for it.

...Top 5.

I think this will do surprisingly well on iTunes.

Pharrell and Nicole - Heartbeat >>>>>>>>>>>>> Enrique and Nicole - Heartbeat. Nicole is great. God loves a trier. I just wish we could have got Physical on this album; I need that song in HQ!

After hearing the album, I think the Natasha Bedingfield comparisons are so apt. Trip hop lite and acoustic guitars, with a splash of Nicki Minaj attitude, which is the only thing that distinguishes this from something released 7 years ago.

Wow, this album is practically unlistenable. Her ridiculously over the top vocals spoil a couple of could-be-alright-tracks, mainly Who You Are, but other than Price Tag, the rest of the songs are drawn out melodies and screachy vocals. Despite hating DILAD, Price Tag gave me hope that she make be able to make some middle of the road catchy pop songs that would entertain for at least a few days. The album's an absolute mess though.

The mythology is the only thing keeping me watching this... and even that's pretty predictable. The characters are terrible and sometimes it looks so budget...this is the kind of programme that should've been done by the Americans. (And why is everyone on Carpathia British?)

I've never had a song that's made me cry...but ones that have made me almost: Adele - Someone Like You Nerina Pallot - Sophia Regina Spektor - Samson Shakira - Lo Que Mas Beyoncé - Resentment (this is really weird...but the bit after all the shouting is just so tear jerkingly amazing) Christina Aguilera - You Lost Me As you can see, it's mainly female piano ballads that make me well up.

I'm so happy Someone Like You is number one. It's another one of those times where quality wins out over hype. I'm a big Gaga fan, but I despise Born This Way so much and I'm glad it will most probably have a very short lived impact in popular culture now. The last time I felt this pleased with the charts was when Meet Me Halfway beat Happy to number 1.
