Kelly Clarkson - Piece by Piece
This album is a major grower isn't it? With a little rejig of the tracklist I've really got into it. My favourites right now are Invincible, Take You High, Good Goes the Bye, and In the Blue.

Carly Rae Jepsen - I Really Like You
LOL Lee lad ur so str8
-
Conor Maynard - Talking About
I'm surprised to have to say it's pretty damn good. Better actually than Say Something, which had all the ingredients but never quite popped for me. Agree with Bal as well. If this was anyone else the praise would be higher.

G.R.L. - Lighthouse
To be honest all of George Ezra's singles are better than Lighthouse. The sentiment behind it / the video is nice but the song just ain't strong enough for radio. The chorus doesn't pop at all.

Marina and the Diamonds 'FROOT'
I've got a horrible feeling this album is gonna bomb really bad with no hit single in sight. I'm a Ruin isn't even doing a thing at radio is it?
-
Carly Rae Jepsen - I Really Like You
Ok it only took one play, I'm taking back what I said. This is amazing. Simply a flawlessly crafted pop song.

2015 Tennis Season
Roger beat Novak. I'm thrilled! I don't want to tempt fate and I know it's been three years since his last slam title, but I think he's got one more in him this summer.
-
Champions League
18 successive European qualifications, 9 straight finishes in the premier league top four, and presently sitting pretty in third. Anyone who thinks Wenger is going anywhere is delusional frankly. He'll go only when he's ready, and he's good for us. We may not be winning the big titles, but hey, not every team can. We're doing pretty much as well as we ever have.

League Cup Final Vote
Chelsea 2-1, Kane to score.

Carly Rae Jepsen - I Really Like You
Fair point re the Glynnester, but this song and campaign have clearly been very carefully tailored to recapture the vibe and repeat the success of Call Me Maybe, with some Red era Taylor thrown in for good measure, and it's not exactly common for that to come off. As I said, I'll keep an open mind.
-
Carly Rae Jepsen - I Really Like You
The clip sounds good, albeit very tame and a little too calculated to quality for song of the year. We shall see.
-
Iggy Azalea - Trouble (feat. Jennifer Hudson)
Not a bad video (although clearly nothing on Fancy or Black Widow) and I do like the production and J Hud's hook, but Iggy's contributions here are complete trash and the whole exercise seems futile. Move on to the next album already!

Champions League
I genuinely couldn't sleep last night, so angry was I about Arsenal's biblical f*** up. Lost a ton of money on it too.
-
Jess Glynne - Hold My Hand
It does sound almost exactly like Real Love, but considering that song was amazing and a huge hit, it could be worse! There's just so much room in the current pop landscape for somebody whose music is as joyous and unpretentious as this. She could lay some foundations that long outlast the dance music revival she came from.

Do you think Sam Smith deserves his success?
Anyone deserves their success if a lot of people are buying their music, because evidently they're enjoying it on some level and you've created a product people want. This topic is absurd.

Kelly Clarkson - Piece by Piece
Whole album is out apparently. Take You High is glorious. Not sure if I'll still think so in two months, but for now it's everything I need.
-
Kelly Clarkson - Heartbeat Song
The Dave Audé remix is f***ing awesome. Nice to hear a commercial remix that's not just the track sped up and the vocals pitched.
-
Jess Glynne - Hold My Hand
Excellent video. The neon necklace scene is to die for. The song is so uplifting.

Least Favourite Rihanna Single History pt II
Disturbia is not gonna outlast DSTM. Tell me it isn't so. I don't know why everyone's forgotten how amazing Don't Stop the Music is.
-
Barclays Premier League
Mourinho is a f***ing whingebag and if he can't cope with the way the FA operates, he needs to piss off. Van Gaal is not much better, but at least his breakdowns carry a certain comedy value.
-
EastEnders
Well the episodes filmed now won't be shown until May so I don't think they're suddenly gonna start referencing it explicitly, but they need to? It's obvious what they mean and realistically they wouldn't want to keep mentioning Bobby being a murderer.

Kylie's Oscar Slayage
Amy looks awful, that dress and hair are all wrong for her. Kylie looks amazing.
-
Kelly Clarkson - Invincible
I agree with Scherz. She has unfortunately reached a point now where her fans online are letting their disappointment about her image cloud their judgment of the music, and nothing she puts out is gonna be good enough whereas anything the other girls do will get automatic love. It's a shame.

Kelly Clarkson - Invincible
