American Idol
A real shock result - I'm also glad the judges used their save. I can't understand why Joshua Ledet & Phillip Phillips are still their. Joshua can only scream & Philllip just OTT and the faces he makes just make me cringe. The only guy any good is Colton.

The Voice vs Britain's Got Talent
A schedule clash between BBC talent show The Voice and Britain’s Got Talent on ITV is all but 'inevitable'. The broadcasters are already embroiled in a bitter war for Saturday nights - despite the fact their rival entertainment shows have yet to air. Britain’s Got Talent star Alesha Dixon confirmed the ITV show will start on Saturday March 24 – the same day as the corporation’s new show launches. Now BBC insiders have conceded a clash between the two programmes is likely. Schedules have yet to be finalised but BBC1 is aiming to broadcast the first episode between 7 and 7.30pm. An ITV insider admitted it plans to schedule Britain’s Got Talent between 7.45 and 8pm on the same night. As the opening episode of The Voice will be at least 75 minutes long – this means there will be an overlap between the two. There is also set to be a fashion battle as Miss Dixon, 33, and fellow BGT judge Amanda Holden, 41, try and outshine 23-year-old singer Jessie J who is a coach on The Voice. Which you you be watching? Personally I will watch The Voice - BGT is crap now with only a couple of decent acts in a series. Also especially since Simon went and they brought in the boring Hoff

Trammps singer Jimmy Ellis dies
Jimmy Ellis, lead singer of 70s disco outfit the Trammps—the Philadelphia band that helped fuel the disco revolution with their classic anthem "Disco Inferno"—died Thursday in a South Carolina nursing home. He was 74. Led by Ellis' booming baritone, the Trammps had their first chart success with 1972's cover version of Judy Garland's "Zing! Went the Strings of My Heart," but it wasn't until the release of the 1973 single "Love Epidemic" that they became identified with the new dance craze erupting out of New York and Philadelphia clubs. The outfit caught the disco wave of the mid-'70s but didn't become a household name until dropping what turned out to be their most memorable dance hit, 1976's "Disco Inferno," with its funky festive sound and catchy chorus of "burn, baby, burn." Source New York Times states the cause of death was complications of Alzheimer's disease. The Trammps had 5 UK hits in the 70s #29 in 1974 -- Zing Went The Strings Of My Heart UHSOxEvoDK0 #40 in 1975 -- Sixty Minute Man #5 in 1975 -- Hold Back the Night X49doPwp0bc #35 in 1976 -- That's Where The Happy People Go #42 in 1976 -- Soul Searchin' Time #16 in 1977 -- Disco Inferno -- used in the soundtrack of Saturday Night Fever A_sY2rjxq6M R.I.P.

American Idol
My 2 fave girls: Jessica & Hollie followed by Erika My 2 fave guys: Colton & Jemaine followed by Heejun Of the Wild Cards I only like Erika (she should have been Top 10 instead of Elise who tried copying Brooke White) - Jeremy is just bland and DeAndre Brackensick sounds sick screaming like a girl & a perm to match

American Idol
On the first live show - none of the guys stood out for me except Colton & Jermaine. The gentle giant deserves to be back. The ones most overrated by the judges for me were Adam Brock & Phil Phillips

Monkees' Davy Jones dies duddenly from heart attack at 66
Davy was the English one, born in Leamington Street, Openshaw but lived in Denton, Manchester and my favourite of the band. The Monkees were one of the original boybands, brought together for the TV series. They were so popular in the late 60s that they had 4 US#1 albums (2 of which were UK#1s, a #2 & a #5) in a year. Davy also played Colin Lomax (Ena Sharples grandson) in Corrie in 1961 His mother died when he was 14 and on leaving school trained as a jockey But of couse it was as a memeber of The Monkees where he became internationally famous He also released a solo single whilst being a member of The Monkees R.I.P.

Well he'd be a vast improvement on X Factor's Dermot O'Dreary or BGT's Ant & Dec (can't stand any of them)

Will X Factor UK be getting a new host?
Dermot O'Deary is rumoured to be setting his sights on a move to the US X Factor. All I can say is they can have him - good riddance!! But pleeeeeeeease don't replace him with equally bad & childish Ant & Dec Gaby Logan, Fearne Cotton or Matt Allwright would do a great job Who do you think should replace him?

Predict: Michel Telo - Ai Se Eu Te Pego!
What I think of rap is no more biggoted than people not buying a record because it's in a foreign language. What I was trying to say is that it's just as much wasting money on rap (that most of the time you can't understand the lyrics) than it is on music in a foreign language

US X Factor 2012
Following Nicole's axing from US X Factor now it's Paula's turn Simon Cowell has offered Beyonce $100m a season to be a mentor on the show IMO it's L.A. Reid who should have gone - he's the worst ( i mean supporting Astro :puke2: ) Let's send Dermot O'Dreary over there - he's the one that spoils the UK show - he's so childish - He could learn plenty from Ryan Seacrest who's a perfect host. The only ones worse than O'Dreary would be Any & Dec -- Even Steve Jones would be better than these divs

Olly Murs - In Case You Didn't Know // 2nd Album
Olly Murs has just leapt straight in the German Top 100 at #3 with Heart Skips A Beat. This is the highest anyone X-Factor non-winner has charted anywhere in mainland Europe. The only other X-Factor non-winners to chart are Jedward (with that Eurovision crap) and Cher Lloyd with Swagger Jagger which peaked at #43 in Belgium (Flanders) chart.
