WHAT A YEAR!! And Tangled Up was yet to come. Let's ignore that this year also ended with I Think We're Alone Now.

We all know Nicola is well jel Nadine was the voice. Just read Dreams That Glitter! Anyway, Nadine is so giff-able it doesn't matter who disses. We always got a comeback.

I think this album starts really well and seems really promising, like some thought has gone into it. It's certainly more interesting than hearing her sing over a generic dance track. However, it is a bit boring and continues her string of weak album. At least this one doesn't have a stand out track that is 10x better than everything else. Having said that, surprised she's selling so little. Not awful but thought she may have a bit more power.

I struggled to pick the singles from this album but certainly wouldn't have guessed this. She should actual release Burning Up and promote it as others have said. I think it's a bit of a grower and certainly stronger than this which to me has the cheesy album track vibe.

Very amused Hollyoaks has given it a boost. Definitely gives me a bit of hope. Whilst this is a great song, I think it's an odd single choice so nice to see it getting attention.

They held up well in the sales dip but unfortunate that overall it means Cheryl is so prominent in this list. She may have some weird selling power but they were always better together.

Is Jay James a thing?

Paul, Lauren and Ben were the strongest for me. I just think they've got the best voices. Andrea didn't wow me last night. It just didn't quite work to be honest. Jay James and Only The Young were awful. Jay James is the one X Factor seems desperate to make happen but his performance was just incredibly dull. I didn't like him at his first audience and I still don't. Only The Young.... Well, the song choice was ridiculous. Oh and Stephanie. Indon't think Stephanie should even be there. She's not good enough. Personally, though Stevi cannot sing and I'm not a fan of comedy acts... He really made me laugh and I enjoyed it. He just totally went for it and I was ready for that after this week's "make everything slow" theme. I don't know what has become of me, ha.

I think Mel really helped bring that fire and personality that's been lacking in Cheryl's interviews of late which was much welcomed and a really funny show. Also Cheryl was the only judge speaking sense by the end of last nights X Factor show.

15. Jay James - I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles) How on earth is this awful, dull version that high? Crazy!

Two years today we were on.... ONE!!!

I think The Saturdays themselves would admit to quite a few of their releases being a desperate attempt for a number 1 but that's a different story :P For me it's usually odd collaborations that scream desperate. Maybe not for a hit but to stay relevant. Madonna is the most obvious case and it was cringeworthy. Maybe Celine Dion and Ne-to... She had just had a hit but that album seemed to be trying to make her relevant again. By the way, I totally agree that Katy Perry was far from desperate with Roar. More like she was rolling around in all her money from the last album and just wanted to piss about with some tigers.
