I was really nervous about Haley this week. Thought she was a gonner. Her place in the bottom 3 this week should have been Jacob.

I only liked Heart & Soul. It was their only US hit

After this result it just goes to show that America has no taste in music. Pia was by miles the rest and should have won. If the judges hadn't have stupidly saved Growler Casey they could have used it this week to save real talent. I didn't really rate Haley at first but she's really grown on me this last 2 or 3 weeks. You can see that as their charts are 50% full of tuneless Hip-Hop/R&B rubbish. If I bother to watch the show again i'll have to back Haley. There's only 3 worth watching now - Haley, Lauren & Tim, maybe Scotty, all the rest are mediocre to rubbish with Stefano being the worst from the start. Roll on X-Factor USA.

Has a song gone to #1 without getting airplay on Radio 1?
I remember Scooter - Ramp! (The Logical Song) not getting any airplay. It peaked at #2 because there hadn't been enough CDs pressed so the shops sold out and it dropped to #4 before climbing back to #2 for 2 further weeks. In fact none of Scooter's releases got any airplay despite them having 7 top 20 singles and 4 Top 30 albums including the #1 - Jumpin All Over The World. The only R1 airplay they got was on the Sunday chart shows. The did make some appearances on TOTP and had good airplay on Satellite music channels.

The one who I really can't stand is Stefano - I just don't see what the judges see in him - he's just plain and bland.

Great - the Jackson/Aaron story ends in June as Jackson (Mark Silcock) leaves. This is how he's supposed to go out. This storyline has dragged on far too long now.

I fully agree about the Jackson storyline - it's the most boring storyline in years. At the moment I record the show then I can skip the Jackson bits. You're correct about Ryan he goes in April

This week she has the Top 2 singles in Holland - #1 is Set Fire To The Rain and #2 is Rolling In The Deep she also has the #1 album In Germany she's at #3 with Rolling In The Deep after 11 chart weeks also #3 album In France #7 with Rolling In The Deep and #3 album In Austria #8 with Rolling In The Deep and #7 album In Switzerland #7 with Rolling In The Deep and #3 album In Belgium (Walloon charts) #3 with Rolling In The Deep and #6 album - (Flanders Chart) #2 with Rolling In The Deep and #3 album In Slovenia #11 (climbing) with Someone Like You and #29 after 14 weeks with Rolling In The Deep She's even #28 in Brazil with Rolling In The Deep And so the list goes on...

Six Nations rugby on TV
I hate rugby - union or league. I think the BBC is giving it overkill on Saturdays. This week it's on 10 hours from 2pm to 10pm. Albeit with a news break. I think it's totally overkill. It's a good reason to have satelite. Do they think everybody likes rugby (and union's worse than league). I've nothing against it being on TV but this is madness. I couldn't even watch my favourite sports continuously for this long. Also why the main channel - why not BBC2 or BBC3. We've lost our evening programs for this rubbish.

Konnie Huq - SACKED
They should get rid of childish, boring, DERMOT O'DREARY as well. But please don't replace either of them with even more childish Ant & Dec. They did a crap job on Pop Idol For Xtra Factor they should bring back Ferne For the main show they should get Nick Knowles

Benidorm
On 22 February 2011, series creator Darren Litten announced that the fourth series would be his final one, but that this did not necessarily mean that the show wouldn't continue without him. He is quoted as saying if Tiger and Aspect wish the show to continue with other writers he wouldn't mind. This latest series though IMO isn't a patch on the others. With no Geoff (Johnny Vegas), Chantelle (Hannah Hobly), Martin (Nicholas Burns) or Kate (Abigail Cruttenden) there seems a big void. That new guy that has replaced Troy is a disappointment too.

I wish this Cain vs Jai thing would hurry up & come to a head!! Same with Jackson & Aaron
