X Factor 2011 || Live Shows - Week 8
Well I sort of softened to Amelia Lily with her first performance. Very good, solid vocal there. Impressive. Then she went and mauled Kelly Clarkson and sounded awful throughout. She really needs to settle into songs that have as little vocal acrobatics as possible for her voice to not offend me. Janet was a hot MESS as I predicted. Does she try and sound Ellie Gouldingish on purpose? I don't think even Ellie wails like that or mispronounces 'MmmBop!' (when she wasn't forgetting the words at any rate). Marcus is a very talented guy but does nothing for me at all. I think he could win if I'm honest. He just has that boring personality and style going for him that the past couple of winners seem to embody. Either way, win or lose, I do not foresee a big career for him. Misha B. Is it wrong that I liked her Cyndi Lauperness? Not so keen on the second but I like when she does something different. Her rap was hardly audible but I gather she enjoys salted crisps. Tasty. Little Mix MUCH better on 'Beautiful', though still really shaky. Not a great week from them, but they do seem like genuine sweet girls. I want them to win out of the five left anyway.

Fringe
I've been put off also. I struggle normally because I'm not that good with all the science lingo. I just say these things happen 'because of that bad thing Walter did'. But the episodes of S4 are painful to watch and are getting painfully dull. I hope it picks up past episode 4 but the thing in the past that has drawn me to the show are the characters and their whole dynamic has been screwed up.

Janet singing is going to be the biggest hot mess since anything performed by Wagner. Oh let it be true!

Record Of The Year 2011
Adele 15.5% Ed Sheeran 14.7% I employ the Tesco mantra of 'Every Little Helps' :kink: I voted for TAT.

The Voice UK
Reggie Yates? I'm sorry WHY? Are they really that hard done by for knowledgeable/DECENT people in the music industry? :mellow: It boggles me, it really does. I echo whoever said this is going to become an X Factor style car crash. Just stick on Jonathan Ross and Tina Barret of S Club whilst you're at it.

iTunes Chart November (III)
Because the song is dull compared to his previous hits? He's usually pretty solid and I am a fan but DWMT is awful. Apparently these X Factor acts can't always release anything and expect an instant #1 anymore...

Twilight vs. Harry Potter
The fact such a question has been asked is hilarious. :lol: From an entertainment, academic perspective and basically every single category in the history of categories except possibly 'things that sparkle'/and 'I am a feminist but I am writing this pile of vampire shit' - Harry Potter.

iTunes Chart: November 2011 (II)
Of the three big albums (Rihanna, 1D, Saturdays), I actually think The Saturdays is the best! Can't believe I'm saying that but Rihanna's is rather dull, 1D's samey and despite they've ripped off 'Papi' and Alexis Jordan's 'Happiness', I think The Sats have produced a solid pop record :o

X Factor 2011 || Live Shows - Week 7
I don't care Craig has gone but at the risk of sounding like a broken record, it's disgusting Amelia Lily is getting so far. Her sing-off performance was diabolical.

iTunes Chart: November 2011 (II)
I meant the publicity she is getting from being on the show, regardless of whether it's performed or mentioned. The song is absolutely naff and such a rip-off of many other songs, I doubt it'd be doing half as well if she wasn't in front of 10 million+ people every week. I have loved a lot of her material in the past - just think DFW is lazy and dreadful to listen to.

I bet Kelly Rowland wouldn't even be within sniffing distance of the top 100 without The X Factor. Horrible song.

X Factor 2011 || Live Shows - Week 7
Amelia should leave. I know you shouldn't take these things seriously but I think it's disgusting that she can re-enter so late and have a shot at winning. Don't really care for any of the others bar Little Mix, but it's an insult to them after having worked so hard and survived elimination every week.

Christmas Day chart 2011
I'm thinking maybe Cowell foresaw a drop in popularity for the show and decided to release a week earlier to guarantee there would be no repeat of the end of 2009. I mean he only had to look at the blandness of this year's contestants to come to that conclusion. Nirvana for XMAS #1 and to sell a million! B)

iTunes Chart: November 2011 (II)
I hate 'Sexy & I Know It'. Just awful :( I'd rather listen to One Direction's latest... And I always compare 'Tik Tok' to 'Hot N Cold' personally. Two hugely massive and popular mainstream tracks that missed the top 3 in the UK but ended up bouncing up and down the top 10 and going platinum(ish).

US TV Primetime Discussion || Fall 2011
Cougar Town had worse retention from Modern Family than Happy Endings does at the moment last season. So definitely not better than The Middle. Still I really like the show and the only rumours about it are that ABC are considering pairing it with that hideous Tim Allen creation in March :(

The Worst CIN Record Ever???
Shane Richie *shudders* There's been far worse than that but still. I too think S Club 7's contributions were brilliant.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn
I just pretend the series ended with 'Eclipse'. Mainly because I can now see all the flaws with the book series and they shock me and also because the last book reads like it was written by a 12 year old fan girl. Shan't be seeing this film as I feel they've just got progressively worse. The first one was great.

iTunes Chart: November 2011 (II)
Rihanna should do her next single. I don't think WFL needs anymore exposure. It's evidently going to be a million seller for here by this time next year... I'd love her to appear with Coldplay on TXF final or something though I doubt Coldplay would ever reduce themselves to such a thing...

YTD T40 Singles (with estimated sales)
Anyone think MLJ could be #2 by end of the year? :o It needs about 22k per week for the last 7 weeks of 2011 to make a million... I'm gonna say: 01 Adele 02 MLJ 03 LMFAO 04 Jessie J 05 Rihanna & Calvin

X Factor 2011 || Live Shows - Week 6
Just f*** off you vile dog. I can't believe you're still here :mellow: Craig is on a one way ticket to Dronesville but he has a good voice and who says you have to be a stick to succeed? Adele anybody?
-
iTunes Chart: November 2011 (II)
Love 'Jar of Hearts' but I can't believe how MASSIVE it has been :mellow: Very surprised the rabid Saturdays fanbase haven't ensured they're top 10 already. I think One Direction will get it, even if Rihanna is back on top AGAIN next week before the hideous X Factor charity single takes it...

That Amelia Lily thing. Tsk tsk. I can't believe people are still watching.
