New Kate Bush album 21st Nov
Sounds quite similar to her best era (The Dreaming)... and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it... like all the best songs, it's not immediate.... but after 5 or 6 plays... I'm completely hooked..... after the career lowpoint that was Director's Cut, this is a phenomenal return. It'll be completely over the heads of 90% of music buyers in 2011 (and most of Buzzjack members, unfortunately), but that kind of adds to the appeal. Brilliant.

LEAST Fave songs (based on your top voted songs per year)
When there's a list that, frankly, shit...only a site like Buzzjack could get rid of a groundbreaking, iconic and influential song like Feel Good Inc. Buzzjack - you embarrass me at times.

PREDICT: The Collective - Teardrop
I'm just staggered that there's people here saying they don't like the original, for starters.... Teardrop is one of those songs - a track that you must be criminally deaf to dislike. I find this cover version pretty unlistenable - made by a host of poeple who obviously don't 'get' the song in the first place. It's almost sacrilege to cover a song like Teardrop - especially when there's laughably untalented riff raff like NDubz involved. Kind of beggars belief. The otherworldly beauty of Elizabeth Fraser's voice... replaced by...er... Dappy? :lol: :lol: :lol: I say for get this awful version, pop some money into a charity box somewhere, and go invest in the original and the classic album it's off, Mezzanine..... a masterpiece.

Big Brother 2011 - Series 12
Alex has got this in the bag now I think..... she's BB gold. Spray tan was the highlight of the series so far.

Absolutely spot on. All it does is pander to the simpleton straight men who loathe gays but love a bit of lesbo action. Utterly vile. Great song though.

Amanda Knox acquitted
now THAT'S a black and white legal system - because many many crimes are simply impossible to prove 100% despite it being 99.9999% certain that that person is guilty. Under this sytem, there'd be a lot of smug murderers walking the streets. And tonight, in America, there actually IS a particularly smug murderer walking the streets thanks to a messy investigation by police who simply weren't up to the job.

Amanda Knox acquitted
... the law, quite often, is an ass - and like I said earlier, she's been released because they can't find her 100% guilty. But they can't find her 100% innocent, either - at the very least, she was a knowing, willing accomplice who was either involved in the murder or who willingly covered up the facts of what happened that awful night..... and, again like I said earlier, surely NOW is the time to tell the truth.

joint 3rd, you mean ;) Love the Rihanna cover.... the white text looks a bit invisible in parts though... but what an AMAZING photo of her :o

Amanda Knox acquitted
She speaks - and spoke back then - fluent Italian - and also, you really think an American national would be questioned in a foreign police statuon over a murder WITHOUT an interpreter? Especially a foreign national as rich as Knox. Interesting to read today it looks like Knox is going on the Oprah show - for a large payment no doubt - and she also kept a daily diary of her ordeal - which undoubtedly will be touted round to the highest bidder. And I agree finding someone dead in your own flat MUST be a shocking, horrific experience - but one which would blank your memory about your whereabouts on the night that it happened......?
-
Amanda Knox acquitted
That might be the case if the nurder hadn't happened in your OWN home. In an instance like that I really think you'd recollect every single minute of that night. Especially if you're bring questioned about it the very same night or following morning.

LEAST Favourite songs of the decade
You're on Buzzjack, the site that music taste forgot. Of COURSE Dakota will leave, followed by the classic Gorillaz track. That whole list, bar a few notable exceptions, reads like a charity shop bargain bin. The gays might like penis, but they dint line listening to their owners.....
-
Amanda Knox acquitted
well, we're being led to believe that Knox is wholly innocent and whiter than white... and I don't buy it. At best, she was well aware of the murder and the chain of events that led to it... at worst, she was involved in it. Either way, she's lied through her teeth throughout. And if you're 100% innocent... then I'm sorry but you DO NOT lie. All we can hope for now is a retrial...... because justice has absolutely not been done here.

Emeli Sande - Heaven
Despite being an almost note-for-note lift from Massive Attack's seminal Unfinished Sympathy, 'Heaven' is still one of the year's best singles. And the follow-up is great, too.... can't understand why she's taking so long to release the album though - next year??? Why?

Goldfrapp, "A&E" // "Seventh Tree"
err..... really? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: And PLEASE - replace 'influenced' by 'note for note ripped off'.... far nearer the mark.

Amanda Knox acquitted
I'm more than a little uneasy at this outcome.... I'm not totally convinced she's 100% innocent...... and the evidence, whilst spoiled by the local police, didn't point to her being a completely innocent party at all. I think she's lied about the chain of events in the house that night.... her story never added up. So - why did she lie? And isn't now the time to tell the truth? Instead, she'll be made to look like some kind of American national heroine, paraded around the chat shows, raking in millions from her 'ordeal'. Well, I for one can't prove her guilt - but I don't think that court wholly proved her innocence, either. That poor girl's family, haven't they been through enough? This is a living nightmare for them.

X Factor 2011 || Live Shows - Week 1
Full agreement..... he's not the greatest act on there by a long chalk, but I think the British public like to "get behind our boys" (if you'll pardon my French), so I think he may do quite well. If he remembers the lyrics..... Jade was robbed last night... any other judge than Kelly would've put her through. Jade's a very... British kind of act - Kellyu just didn't 'get' her.... she hardly gave a poor performance at the judge's house, not her best - but certainly better than Janet Devlin who, already, makes me want to projectile vomit. I think the first week show should feature all of the contestants sent home from judge's houses..... they should each do a song and be put up for the public vote. The winner gets to enter the competition proper, the week after.

X Factor: Who Do You Want To Win?
Would've (and should've) been Jade..... her mix of Adele and Amy Winehouse style vocals would have sailed her through to the finals - what on EARTH was Kelly Rowland thinking? My least favourite is Janet Devlin - surely ONE Ellie Goulding is more than enough for anyone? I went with Amela - hot and a terrific vocalist.

Goldfrapp, "A&E" // "Seventh Tree"
Well second hand... but from my oldest bestest mate ;) who only ever worked with them because he loves Will so much - and pities his association with Goldfrapp because of her moodswings and hideous temperament. And I've encountered her a few times through the years in Bristol - and she's always been hilariously rude - to everyone. :P I love a good diva me, you're right, Jark, and someone being an out and out cow would certainly not put me off them or their music - as you say, the Divine Grace is probably Diva Numero Uno - it adds to her appeal for sure. I loathe anodyne, squeaky clean nothingness pop stars.... which is why Cowell's motley stable leaves me deadly cold. And despite Goldfrapp's 'personality' I do actually really like them - especially the first 2 albums. As for egos in the music industry - to even be IN the industry you have to have an ego the size of a house. I don't ever believe these naive, shy, retiring personas some stars put across - impossible to REALLY be any of those things in the music industry.
