US TV Primetime Discussion || Fall 2011
'New Girl' is brilliant! It shouldn't work on paper but it does. It is shot so beautifully and all of the cast have great chemistry blah blah. It's all been said. I do think it's VERY quirky and obviously appeals to a certain niche audience, but I just like finding a comedy that doesn't have a laughing track after every other line.

Supernatural
That's the end of Castiel? I really thought he'd be back in some form. It just seemed so rushed and forgotten so quickly. Really liking the season so far though :D
-
The Secret Circle
I really like this show. It has a lot of potential and a definite old-school feel. I'm interested how things are going to play out in the long run though. It was also nice this week to see Nick and Melissa more rounded out as I felt there hadn't been enough focus on them before.

X Factor 2011 || Live Shows - Week 1
I am just sad that we won't get to experience Nu Wagner ala Goldie :(

The Vampire Diaries
I haven't even missed Bonnie. Last season she was just THERE. Like 'yay I'm going to do a handy spell now because I know magic.' I'm not sure if it's the actress or the writers but there doesn't seem to be any investment in the character and it says a lot when I don't even notice she's not appeared for 3 episodes in the flesh or such. I am liking the show so far. It's not as amazing as previous seasons but I found Caroline's dad's psychological warfare a very interesting perspective! Also it seems we're starting to go somewhere with the Originals and Klaus now.

X Factor 2011: Discussion
Well I think Tulisa is either INSANE or just plain EVIL. Either way, I love the destruction of people's dreams, tearing friends from friends and just to kick the boot in a little bit further - let's steal the name of one of the dejected groups too. Cowell would be so proud :heehee:

Steps - 'The Ultimate Collection'
We watched this purely for Lisa Scott-Lee's need to breakdown every time she gets any public exposure these days. I feel 'Electric-gate' is still stinging :heehee: It was quite pathetic really that they had tensions over who got to sing vocals amongst other things. I found it really immature, understandable, but immature. I didn't like how Claire was painted as a villain though, when H comes across as a spiteful, self-centered troll. Was also gutted that it ended just before they all sat down to talk :heehee:

US X Factor 2012
I know it's sad and petty but I am REALLY happy about this not doing as well as expected. It is absurd though that America will have a talent competition from September to May in some form or another.

iTunes Chart: September (III)
Not as bad but still AWFUL. Dappy is a wonderful and talented man compared to that creature. I don't think Derulo knows what originality means. Or how to sing but meh. I would love Damien Rice to get #1 but it won't happen :P

Most #1 Singles by British Female Solo Artist?
I loved the Spice Girls back in the day but the fact Geri Halliwell even released solo music is something I try to erase from my brain on a weekly basis. Great personality and totally bonkers - AWFUL AWFUL AWFUL songs :(

The Vampire Diaries
Course there's going to be more to the ghosts. I felt the whole episode was merely just a 'and here's what's happened over the summer recap' montage. Was OK but nothing special. I'm bored of the whole tortured Stefan thing already. I have always found the other characters more compelling. And Mrs Lockwood with her bow & arrow goodness :o
-
The Secret Circle
It was a better pilot than TVD. I felt that more happened and I was already more invested in the storyline. That said I still prefer TVD by far, but I shall be watching this for the near future anyway. I have always loved Thomas Dekker. The only problem here is that they have tried to make him too Edward Cullen-esque.

Adele, 21 - I predict it will top 4m UK sales this year
If she gets on The X Factor, I can imagine it being far more likely.

I think competing against the live America's Got Talent may have hindered it, yet it'll have even tougher competition when all the other networks kick off their Fall lineup. I was disappointed in the figures. I guess I overlooked SMG's appeal and the fact that it does air on The CW after all. Still, the episode itself was fantastic. Perfect cast, brilliant story, the dialogue was a little weak in parts and I actually felt the fast pace was quite good, considering so many shows take a few episodes to establish a premise, I think the plot will slow down a bit from this point. SMG was fantastic as always, though I still see her as Buffy. She even cries the same :lol: I am really excited as to where it will go in coming weeks. Still say it would've worked better with Nikita, but then 90210 and Supernatural is hardly an amazing combination either.

The One That Got Away
Great song from an amazing album, but they really need to stop now!!!!!!! Just wait and release a new record in the spring woman. That said, I guess the plus side of this will be a possible X Factor performance both sides of the Atlantic? I would love the album to pass a million here, considering it's on about 800k now.

The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn
It's not KStew I can't stand, more the character of Bella Swan, who is the worst character I have ever come across in any book I've read. I will go and see this merely because I have watched the other three, though the book was a dreadful end to the series. I agree with Jark in that my jaw was constantly on the floor, but not in a good way! I do think I've outgrown the series really. Plus, Stephenie Meyer herself BUGS the hell out of me thinks she's a feminist and compares the saga to Jane Eyre which she has apparently read 'hundreds of times a year' etc etc.

So this begins tonight in the USA. Will anybody be watching?

That hedgehog is some creepy shit! Kreacher OWNS Dobby though.

Radio 1 Playlist (07/09/11)
Radio 1 is shit. End of. They have the worst DJs of all the radio stations I've ever listened to. They could playlist ducks farting and I still wouldn't tune in because of the 30 minutes of waffle you get between each song.

Kelly Clarkson - Stronger
I love it! Not as much as her other songs but it is different, yet in niche with what's popular right now. I hope she doesn't run into another 'Halo/Already GoneGate'. It is SCARILY similar to JTWYA in places :lol:
-
Ronan Parke [[DEBUT ALBUM]]
I suspect he will sell well with this album (not million selling status but platinum at least), but nobody will care come next year. AWFUL. I don't care if he's young, it's just unsanitary. The Justin Bieber thing was clearly Cowell's idea *shudders*

Matt Cardle - Run For Your Life // Letters
Doesn't sound right. His voice doesn't fit the beat. Alright though I guess.

iTunes Chart: September (I)
Does the story involve a gay orgy? Because that's fairly obvious.
-
iTunes Chart: September (I)
The Saturdays' singles this year have been AWFUL. Far away from the amazing pop hits of 'Up', & 'Higher'. Figures they could possibly scoop their first #1 with such dirge :( I'd rather MLJ did it tbh. I have liked all three artists in the past, but these are very poor efforts.

HARRY POTTER RATE RESULTS
The films didn't offer James Potter any redeeming qualities/lines EITHER. Not that I'm crazy about the guy but the movies always made it about Harry's mum and he just stood there and grinned gormlessly. Even Sirius and Lupin got more of a look in during DHII :heehee:
