Hopefully it can be a sleeper hit in the lower regions of the chart. And see if it picks up Christmas! It’s too good to underperform even if it is a bit out there. Who knows if it would’ve done better had they held off until January?! I’m glad we got but I’m kinda mad we didn’t get any physicals as of yet. I’m glad she’s at least done the live performances and other versions and we had big streaming pushes initially but yeah maybe the song just isn’t universal. BUT we’ve seen on many occasion that she gets the second single right so I do think we could be in for another HIT this era. Every era so far has had at least one major hit for her and I do think she’ll get one with this era. The charts are just in a weird state now because it’s about to become a Christmas chart come the end of next week. I’m still impressed in a sense that it’s had the run it’s had. It’s kinda like her Dancing In The Flames in the sense it’s the lead single but it’s just not fully taken off in the way it could / should have.

So this was UK chart related! He’s a big name here with a growing fanbase. Both his albums have made #1 and anticipation for this upcoming one is quite big!

Sam Fenders releasing on the 21st February!! Here’s hoping we don’t get a chart battle and the album release date is one of the other Fridays! (Ofc the music is more important but still…!)

I also would like Thomas to get to the final above Segun and Sarah for being there for Ali. The more screen time he’s had he’s actually coming across rather well. I think Segun and Sarah are realistic predictions for the boot. I think Rosie / Baked Potato as she’ll always remain was probably around 5th or 6th in the vote I definitely don’t think she was as low as 9th but she’s coming across great on Late and Live there. I’m really unsure on if Hanahs support is a case of strong online what doesn’t translate to the actual vote or if she’ll surprise. But I’m gonna hazard a guess at the vote being like. 1-2 Ali / Marcello 3. Nathan 4. Emma 5. Thomas 6. Hanah 7. Sarah 8. Segun Really feel like it’s Marcello vs Ali for the win though!

In hindsight I’m relived Lily had a proper eviction and didn’t leave like this but what a s*** show. Big Brother should’ve just went full evil and not revealed that one would be leaving!

Gahhhh!! I’m convinced he was bottom 3 too if not last in the vote. I wonder how he chooses what housemates to take? Tactical and take who you assume are your competition or go for your three least favourites. Half hope Ali goes in there just to see their reactions to her being safe.

Focus on the UK Godga and get that Strictly promo! I know it’s a while off yet but I’m lowkey really hoping my Gaga at the BRITs dream becomes a reality. The timing of the album release is actually making it relatively possible (it’s been over a decade she was last a performer or even an attendee right but this is like optimum time?!)

Not sure I like that twist at all?! It kinda makes you think why even have the vote to win if you can potentially be 3rd in a vote of 9 and still leave. They should’ve probably just opened a vote of those three housemates in hindsight (but it depends on who the three housemates are really and the way they’re picked too. If they see it as a negative thing / possible eviction esque decision they might send Ali there but I think she’ll be fine! It’s probably something they should’ve done at another point in the series though. Lily really was a massive loss to the house though but Segun and Thomas both getting the most screen time they’ve ever had. Thomas actually feels like someone who’s pretty genuine really so it’s a shame we haven’t really seen a lot of him but Segun is just yeah probably the most pointless housemate of the series for me (he’s definitely way more invested in Hanah than she is him as much as he deludes into thinking it’s all / mostly her) this js purely just based upon the edit though. Also interesting Ali mentioned she thinks Marcello chose tactically as I think that’s quite plausible! (To be fair as well if I was a housemate with power towards the end and I had immunity in a crucial eviction I’d probably play it to who I thought were my competitors).

UK are actually showing this more appreciation than other major markets which is good. By this point Perfect Illusion was already outside the top 40 so this is kinda more Stupid Love esque. Amazon increases are good to see as well :wub:

I’d say Segun will have lowest votes then possibly Sarah. I actually see Thomas in the final but no higher than 4th! Think he’s the type who’d have silent supporters.

It always astounds me how when it comes to that award show she’s always hailed as some sort of prodigy and like she’s just owed everything based off who she is :lol: :lol: Obviously she’s not going empty handed with as many noms as she has though and I will say as someone who’s never gotten her hype in terms of her material itself (I can’t fault her voice or performance skills) i actually kinda got this album.

What’s frustrating about no more evict votes is that both Lily and Khaled would’ve easily been top 5! Matty and Bradley from CBB both went via back door at this point though having never faced a public vote and there’s a high chance one of the evictees pre the final will have never faced a vote and will then leave in their first one without the full experience which in a way is actually worse than getting evicted via evict but with the full experience. It would’ve never happened but I’d have been even more gutted for both Lily and Khaled had they left like that. I wonder what the eviction % was! I remember they’d reveal them back in the day.

I’m torn here! I feel like Nathan might make the final in a win scenario you know. I’m quite confident(ish) that Segun and Sarah will be 9th / 8th. Then the final evictee i think could be Thomas (but then again I wouldn’t be that shocked if it was Hanah as Thomas strikes me as someone the Facebook mams may like) I’m gonna say it’s gonna be (and this isn’t necessarily what I want) 1. Marcello 2. Emma 3. Ali 4. Nathan 5. Baked Potato / Rosie 6. Thomas 7. Hanah 8. Sarah 9. Segun

I think Segun and Sarah could be next to go then!

I feel like this series is rather open in terms not just the win but even like the top 3?! Last series by this point I think it felt very clear Jordan was winning and it was a race for second place as much as I want to feel like Olivia had a chance. With Lily and Khaled out too (who I think both had enough support to at least get top 3 in a win vote) it really throws it as well. I honestly wouldn’t know who to bet on as even though I love Ali she gives off that classic fan favourite female of the series who respectably finishes third.

Absolutely gutted for Lily :( But one saving grace of her leaving now is a front door eviction and I’m glad the crowd liked her. But on the other hand I am relieved that Baked Potato and Ali stayed. Emma was the only one I’d have actually wanted out from that line up. Baked Potato really didn’t deserve boos so I hope she’s not too deflated. Actually kinda seeing a Marcello win now :cry:

Higher than I thought actually!

Hoping it gets at least one win! It deserved both Record and Song nominations if you ask me but it only being nominated in one I’m unsure if this is good or bad (any win would be good but would love to see her get a main category win!.) Of the Pop/Duo categories with Fortnight being snubbed I’d say it looks like a shoe in but you can never really rule out Beyoncé at the Grammys so I’m not at all sure if she’s the main competitor here but if Gaga / Bruno don’t get it I’d imagine it’ll be her.

yes, and? I’d say stands the best chance of a win but a real shame that the albums main highlight and success wasn’t nominated. She’s always been rather under appreciated Grammy wise but I’m happy there was some nominations at least. Would love a win but we’ll see! I think this is shaping up to become at least my second favourite from her as a whole project. Still amongst my albums of the year and just a really strong album all around :heart:

Ideally id say I’d want Emma out first (she’s the only one up id actually want out) but I think it’s gonna be Rosie / Baked Potato and then Lily leaving tonight.

A really terrible result all around for the eviction! Had Marcello saved Khaled and put up Nathan we could’ve realistically managed a Thomas pile on vote as Nathan would’ve attracted evict votes anyways but it’s worked out so badly now :cry: The one plus of Lily leaving on Friday is a full eviction experience for her at least but she doesn’t at all deserve to leave before the final. I do feel Ali May potentially stay though. I’ve put 5 votes on Emma but there’s a few splitting on Khaled and Baked Potato. I just couldn’t bring myself to evict Baked Potato though where as Emma ive actually never been that keen on.

I’d say also both! I am a Gaga stan so I’d always be pro her but she’d have definitely had writing and/or production involvement to release and push something like this. Obviously you can thank Bruno too but what other females could’ve done what Gaga did there’s a reason he wanted to work with her and the chemistry between them kinda adds to the overall appeal of the song. Gaga’s major collaborations (excluding Tony as I’m mainly going off original material here) almost always smash so she’s obviously a factor in getting something out of not just Bruno but say Ariana, Bradley Cooper, Beyoncé too. Gaga collabs are almost like an event as you can never factor what genre / theme etc they’re going to be. But yeah I’d say for Die With A Smile it’s both of them to thank (and the fact the song itself is timeless and cross generational). It’s funny how a critique the Little Monsters (or some Little Monsters) had is that they felt the song was very much more Bruno but i could easily imagine both of them releasing it as a solo track like it’s not a million miles away from what’s on the A Star Is Born Soundtrack but also sounds like classic Bruno too. A way of playing to both of their strengths as vocalists for sure.

Gahhh I so need Lily in that final. It would be a travesty if she was to be evicted before hand! Quite nervous for what may happen this week eviction wise!

I do love this still and it’s had at least one week UK top ten so I’ll take that. I do think we may get something more GP friendly on the album what could be pushed as the second single but I think this has all the elements of classic Gaga so I think it could be one of those tracks what might have a Judas esque appeal and it becomes a staple / fan favourite / strong streamer over the years but one that at the time doesn’t look like a huge hit.
