I seeeee. Thanks for that. I second what you just said. Good work.

Apologies if this has already been said as I havent read all 21pgs, but does anyone think the initial tune and background is almost exactly like Heidi Montag's leaked solo effort of 'Body Language' feat Spencer mysurnameisveryappropriate Pratt ? I like The Saturdays effort a lot more though. A lot more.

Nichole is like Mandy Moore & Hilary Duffs love child. Even though Ive spoiled my T4 viewing, im pleased shes made the band.

Take a bow is the absolute gem of this album. It would be a stupid mistake if they did not release it.

I think people find it too easy to scrutinize something that they would not normally label perfect or the norm. In this case, Leon. Leon firstly has had to follow up to Leona, a fantastic girl we have all seen achieve phenomenal success. But Leona is a girl and naturally vocally very different, so you cant really judge the two, but she herself is a very timid and a quiet person, so I think it is unfair to Leon for people not to accept this from him. Leon is also no Shayne ward in looks or charisma, but Leon is still very young, naive, and having been living a fairly sheltered life, people should give the guy some time to develop before branding him as a load of $hit or whatever as that is completely ignorant as he can sing but people refuse to believe it as he wasnt the expected winner and doesnt fall into the the catagory of perfect popstar for reasons already mentioned. From the first live performance to the final, he's come a hell of a long way, so with some time and guidance im sure he'll only improve further. The song is naff for a bloke to sing, so really those who are saying he's killed it should really consider that. Its a song sung by 2 of the best female vocalist's period and Leon gets critised for murdering it. Hello!? Its not a suitable choice of song for many artists to tackle, not the fact he cant p***ing sing. I may come across as a super Leon fan, but Im not, I just cant stand ignorance and over judgemental people and those who are harsh without reasoning. Give the lad a freaking break, he can sing, maybe not to everyones taste, but you cant deny he can sing, just like the Riddler, I thought he was a brilliant singer but his style of singing isnt my personal favourite to listen to. Leon may not have the vocal ability of Rhydian but thats because he is of a different genre and has not been professionally trained nor has the experience. Either of them deserved to win imo. He's managed to win the year with so much to compete with and to be compared to, which is why people are being unneccessarily harsh so its going to be hard for him but I wish him the best of luck as he's just a young lad trying to pursue a dream.

:lol: A sense of satisfaction has over come me. Im so pleased for Simon, and for once internet identity has not lied. It was Alex Reid aha. I hope he can continue to climb, Grace :wub: really does deserve a top 10 position.

I see. Thank you. The post was apparently posted by Alex Reid, the lead guitarist on RTS saying it was currently 18 and asking to keep up the support. But as forums are not very reliable for true identity I trust this site more than that, but I was kinda hoping it was true as 80+1 is awful beyond comprehension. I know RTS is a bit odd but Grace is absolute quality and does not deserve to flop in the way it looks like it is. Poor guy, even Costa made it into top 20, but that was before the stupid download rules came in.

Hmm I have read on Simon Webbe's website that he is no.18 in the midweeks...I think someone's lying. The only thing I can think of is that is his physical position but without downloads will be a lot lower? Well it would be so good to think he was 18, but I really doubt it as nothing has been said on here other than he's not top 40. :huh:

Oh my giddy giddy gosh, I guess I may have to download more Simon Webbe singles. Wtf has gone wrong since Sanctuary? CAA was pretty decent, MSPFY, ok not everyones cup of tea, but not offensive. But I really thought Grace would pull people back in, its a beautiful piece of work. Im pretty certain the demise of programmes such as CD:UK, totp, popworld, MOM has led to this as Ive seen no promo at all, not just for this single but all of the singles from his 2nd album. Whatever promo there has been for this single has been pumped into RTS, which is a good attempt showing diversity but has taken attention away from Grace, the real Jewell and quite possibly his best song to date (IMO.) Nightmare. He's such a nice guy too, I dont want him to get dropped. :cry:

Agreed with UnfaithfulJack, 'Grace' is way better than RTS, and would be a far better contender. However I still voted for RTS :P

Yes Mikey! Y'see if Mikey approves, you know its good ;)

It is indeed; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywTQcBN2Lt8 Enjoy :P

Okay, so I saw Simon live last night at Harrogate International Centre and I must say it was one of the best nights ever. He held it together perfectly, his voice sounded amazing and kept everyone entertained. He also generously stayed behind to sign CD's afterwards, & yes I did meet him, he's even more beautiful in real life. :wub: Well worth the money, everything I expected and more. Such a down to earth, courteous and talented man deserves every success, and I hope to God, Grace and RTS can reward him with that once again.

At least people seem to like Grace, as its clearly better than RTS, but I feel more promo & work is going into RTS :( because of the film. Grace needs to be heard as this is really the song that is going to sell as the double A side.

Aye he was on the lottery, he sang live too, which is also a plus. I only caught the last minute or so though <_< but he seemed to deliver a pretty sound performance from what I saw, although maybe a little shakey on the lower notes, but hey he does well to get so low. Just seen the Video for Ride the Storm on the Sun website, its quite impressive B)
