Find 'Impossible' the most tolerable of all the X Factor winner's singles. Though I still stand by the idea that they should record original material rather than murder other songs. :nono:

The last three songs :heart: It's nice to see a bit of alternative amongst all the pop.

Think 'Diamonds' sounds so weak compared to her other No.1s. :mellow: Not a bad song overall, just very over rated in my opinion...

I don't think it's staying with the 90's house esque sound of the more recent dance music we've been having no. I can't seen the Taio Cruz/Dizzee Rascal comparison though? Nonetheless it's a great song. :D

'Don't Stop Believing' will always remind me of just turning eighteen and going out (legally) drinking. :dance: The Glee version is horrendous though :puke2: , as are most of their covers.

'Don't You Worry Child' :heart: One of my favourite songs from the last few years.

'I Wanna Feel' sounds like a No.1 smash to me, but again that will no doubt lose sales by being released in late May. :angry:

Some of it yes, and it still doesn't connect to me as much as the ones I mentioned. I just feel like they're trying a bit too hard with their last two albums, and although they've still achieved hits as a result, I just wish they would release more simple and emotional songs like from the 'A Rush Of Blood To The Head' and 'Parachutes' era. Most single releases from 'Viva La Vida or...' onwards are a lot more upbeat... I know they sometimes got criticized by some as being too "depressing" back then, but that's what I loved. :wub:

As much as I love 'Paradise', it's a shame some of their more superior songs such as 'Yellow' and 'In My Place' couldn't match the same peak. I do wish they'd go back to their roots. -_-

Yeah, it's a shame some older acts can't achieve the same success nowadays. It was criminal that U2 didn't reach the official top forty with 'Invisible' earlier this year, especially as it kept yo-yoing from 30-40 on iTunes. :cry: I was referring more to Calvin Harris' 'Acceptable In The 80's' era and David Guetta's 'Love Don't Let Me Go' and 'The World Is Mine', before they attached themselves to so many other known acts. Speaking of Calvin Harris, what do we think are the chances of him being No.1 next week?, as 'Summer's only 65 on iTunes at the moment... :(

Thank you, ^_^ I never said lots of people were insinuating it?, just that I've read some comments recently that have. I'm really not fussed if the charts include well known acts or not (as much as I love Coldplay), as long as the material's good. I'm sure people would have said the same for Calvin Harris and David Guetta when they first entered the charts, brushing them aside as unknown dance acts in favour for big names, and look at them now. And maybe them three female acts weren't the best example to use. I just seem to come across a lot of love for female "pop" acts in general when reading posts, and it becomes very tiresome after a while. <_<

Hopefully not for a while yet. I know everyone's entitled to their own musical preference, but I'm really puzzled by some of the recent comments on here insinuating that the latest trend of dance songs shouldn't be considered "music", because of the lack of lyrical content or whatever reason. :wacko: I personally think the charts at the moment are the most exciting they've been in a very long time, and I'm happy that there's genuine big dance songs that are hitting the top end of the charts, as oppose to the dance music of the mid 00's (a few lines from an 80's song repeatably looped to a beat. ala 'Call On Me', Out Of Touch'), or R&B/dance hybrid songs (Taio Cruz, Dizzee Rascal etc.) I think the recent dance domination in the charts has been a long time coming and makes a nice change as oppose to X Factor acts, and carbon copy female singers that a lot of members seem to obsess over on this forum (Pixie Lott, Little Mix, Jessie J to name but a few) :puke2: It's just a shame that the songs aren't released a lot earlier, rather than losing sales during their pre-order period, but that obviously goes for all held back releases. Calvin Harris for No.1 next week. :dance:
