American Idol 2014 starts to air from 1st February at 5pm on 5* A 2 hour show taking you nicely to The Voice.

Remember Ella Henderson (who IMO should have won X Factor 2012). This is her new single - Five Tattoos - where will it chart 8IspXD--kg0

Phil Everly has died aged 74 from lung disease caused by a lifetime of smoking. Phil along with his brother Don had a string of hits in the late 50s/early 60s as the Everly Brothers R.I.P.

I also like Charly Webb herself.

What do you think of TV on the main channels over Christmas & New Year?

Jools Holland's Hootenanny looks good this year and worth recording. Some good acts on this year except for the one horrendous singer that's on every year - I mean RUBY TURNER :puke2:

7 time F1 world champion Michael Schumacher critically ill in hospital after a skiing accident. Although he was far from my favourite driver my thoughts are with his wife and children and wish him well and a speedy recovery.

Anyone know where you can get UK singles chart positions 101-200 please?

Actually the only thing that exists from the first show is Savile's introduction The first complete clip that exists is of Bits & Pieces by Dave Clark Five from the 19 Feb 1964 show. You can see all the clips from the 60s that still exist HERE

Just thought I'd mention that on New Year's Day it will be the 50th anniversary of the first show of Top Of The Pops. Anyone interested can see the story of the show from the beginning HERE

Thought I put a little remembrance to the late great James Brown who passed away on Christmas Day 2006 aged 73 The legend would now have been 80 last May. Below are 5 of his greatest R.I.P. James Pap's Got A Brand New Bag QE5D2hJhacU I Got You (I Feel Good) gcztj0FQNCw It's A Man's Man's World juTeHsKPWhY Get Up I Feel Like Being A Sex Machine AVZwejaNmbw Living In America oHqUipinDyw

Why are all the winners songs covers. Why don't they give them original songs. Especially as some of them are so recent. Skyscraper was a hit for Demi Lovato only few months ago. The only original was That's My Goal by Shayne Ward in 2005 2004 - Steve Brookstein - Against All Odds -- original by Phil Collins 2006 - Leona Lewis - A Moment Like This -- original by Kelly Clarkson 2007 - Leon Jackson - When You Believe -- original by Mariah Carey & Whitney Houston 2008 - Alexandra Burke - Hallelujah -- original by Leonard Cohen 2009 - Joe McElldrey - The Climb -- original by Miley Cyrus 2010 - Matt Cardle - When We Collide -- original by Biffy Clyro 2011 - Little Mix - Cannoball -- original by Damien Rice 2012 - James Arthur - Impossible -- original by Shontelle

For a start they could make leave the choice of who goes out to the public vote and just have one save me like in American Idol Why should the public spend their money voting only for the judges to choose who goes Also why did they drop the flash vote?

Here's the winner next year UrAtdq9oLtI

It wasn't even a Westlife original - Flying Without Wings was originally recorded by Ruben Studdard - winner of series 2 of American Idol

Just what is Nicholas (Leon Jackson) McDonald still doing there. The final 3 should have been Sam B, Luke and Tamera

Could you please give members an announcement if and when the signatures are turned back on.

Top 3 - Tameria, Sam, Luke Bottom 2 - Nicholas, Rough Copy Best Novelty Act - Wagner

Not Buble again next week AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :puke2: :puke2:

In a way it could be a blessing in disguise that Tamera hasn't made it. In 10 years of the show only 2 winners have been worthy and globally made it. Leona & Little Mix. She should get a record deal anyway - Go show 'em Tamera. Look how well lots of acts that didn't win have made it. One Direction - Rebecca Ferguson - JLS - Olly Murs - Cher Lloyd - Amelia Lily - Diana Vickers As for Rough Copy - as their name says they are Rough. If that little runt Nicholas wins he'll be another Eoghan Quigg or even Joe McEldery, Leon Jackson, or Steve Brookstein - that just have a hit with the winners song then never to be heard of again It now has to be Sam vs Luke in the final. On last night's show James Arthur both looked and sounded really rough.

Tamera singing The First Time Ever... really stole the show for me. I would buy her records today. For me she's the best singer on X factor since Leona.

Yippee - the shouter gone at last. The will probably save money on mikes no they won't disappear down her gob. :yahoo: :yahoo: If she was that good why was she in the bottom 2 - 3 times.

Top 3: Tamera, Sam B, Luke Bottom 2: Sam C, Hannah Bring Back: Lorna

Top 3 -- Tamera - Sam B - Rough Copy Bottom 2 -- Hannah - Sam C Who Will Win -- Tamera or Sam B

How stupid - Now being shown on ITV2 on Saturday at 11.00am
