GrAmii

Am thinking Wagner/Diva Fever/Katie/John could be getting the chop. That said Belle Ami were horrific. I thought they were fantastic up until the point they decided to massacre 'Airplanes'. Aiden and Mary were the stand out for me. I love Rebecca but was very disappointed with her song choice tbh. She delivered it flawlessly obviously but i just felt it was 'safe'. Nicolo is one of my favourites but I think it's the curse of Fannii Minogue and her decision to pick awful song choices on occasion. It was more homo-karaoke but his personality is still fantastic.

The chart is insane atm! So much moving and climbing around. Massive sales :o I really want Joe to get high up before TXF but I doubt it now... I just really like the song and him. I never expected him to be as huge as Leona or Alexandra but still...

I think Mike Posner will be this year's Tik Tok/Hot N Cold. One of those 4th quarter hits that doesn't reach the top 3 but sells very consistantly.

I'm sorry but as awful as Brookstein was he has sold FAR more than Maria Lawson :wacko: Also Shayne Ward atm has just about outsold Alexandra Burke and JLS [they'll overtake him by the end of the year depending on how his new album sells].

Wagner reminds me of Beetlejuice. I;d have been $h!t scared had he been my P.E teacher :lol:

The Smiths easily. Bar that one amazing song [ATTSS] tATu were dreadful. Though I also like the version by LoveSpitLove which was used as the theme tune to Charmed.

Big week: 8th Nov Alesha Dixon - Baddest Chick B.o.B feat Rivers Cuomo – Magic Diana Vickers - My Wicked Heart Eminem feat Lil' Wayne - No Love Mike Posner - Cooler Than Me My Chemical Romance - Na Na Na (Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na) P!nk - Raise Your Glass Shayne Ward - Gotta Be Somebody Tinchy Stryder feat Taio Cruz – Second Chance Westlife – Safe Absolutely love the track though. Instant smash on first listen. I like how it is classic P!nk but at the same time still manages to sound completly fresh and unique. Imma thinking top 3.

01 Rebecca Ferguson - Easily the best singer out of all 12 but her personality is lacking. Maybe that's just because of her zero self confidence but I like a singer to have the entire package and if she just delivers ballad after ballad in the finals I may tire of her but for now she is my favourite. 02 Nicolo Festa - I think he sings fantastically and he just cracks me up. He's such a diva and probably won't get very far or ever be heard from again after this show, but I personally feel he ticks all the boxes. 03 Aiden Grimshaw - I actually love the three guys Dannii put through which is a first for me! He reminds me of Joe McElderry A LOT which isn't a bad thing and he doesnt' seem like estatic he got through which hints at a bit of cockiness but he has a gorgeous voice that will take him far imo. 04 Belle Amie - They are actually one of the best girlbands vocally I have heard on The X Factor ever and dare I say better than most that have attempted to break the charts. And that's just from one performance. I think the legend that is Sinitta was spot on with her comment about them. 05 Mary Byrne - Here is somebody who I feel has a great voice for ballads and a wonderful personality. She's instantly likeable and doesn't take herself too seriously. I don't think this is the right sort of competition for her though. 06 Matt Cardle - I like him but I'm not overwhelmed by him. 07 F.Y.D - Not sure I quite get them but they're definately talented and not a predictable boyband. 08 1Direction - They're too pretty boy for me, but they worked well together so I'm not going to knock them. 09 Storm Lee - The last one I really dislike. He has a great voice but a very unlikeable personality. 10 Cher Lloyd - Sorry she's not dreadful but I fail to see the fascination at all. 11 John Adeleye - Bland. He's so inoffensive and only got through because the rest of his category was so dreadful. 12. Katie Waissel - Nuff said. Disgusting creature.

And I'd select: Boys Aidan Matt Nicolo Girls Rebecca Gamu Anastasia Groups Belle Ami 1 Direction FYD Overs Mary Storm No idea on the last one :/

I agree. Their comments [whilst being the usual stereotypical $h!t] seem to be a lot more geared to personality this year. 'She's rather dull', 'will people pick up the phone and vote for him?', 'he doesn't have anything going for him outside of his voice' etc. It's not right imo but of course this show is never fair and is all based on manipulation. They obviously want as many nut-jobs/idiots or people who will divide public opinion to go through to the final as possible - at the expense of the remaining contestants that actually have a grain of talent. I don't think the girls are that strong if the rumoured 3 are true. I can't see Cher being able to adapt to the different themed weeks. She's already attempted to give the exact same type of performance three times and that Katie creature is just an abomination. I honestly think one of the boys or groups are going to win this year. Mary may be a dark horse but previous experience concerning the older singers says that won't happen - but I have a feeling the public would hate Storm as well :lol:

I think: California Gurls Airplanes Love The Way You Lie OMG Fireflies Dynamite We No Speak Americano Rude Boy Bad Romance Not all #1s there but they're clearly the biggest international hits from 2010. I agree with Hitstastic that Tinie Tempah etc are pretty much of the moment and whilst 'Pass Out' will possibly be remembered I don't think anybody outside hardcore chart fans will remember anything else by him... Telephone, I think will be remembered more for the video than the actual song and the rest of those #1s are pretty lame. As for 2000 I think the following are bonafide classics: Pure Shores [whoever said no is silly as this is always played on radio and used on TV and is still extremely popular] Never Be The Same Again Groovjet Rock DJ Stan Can't Fight The Moonlight Ooops! I Did It Again

I would have a tiny scrap of my faith in the UK public restored if 'Shame' doesn't make #1 :D Top 3 is still certain though sadly. Surprised Kings Of Leon haven't shot up faster. Don't think this era will be as huge for them.

P.S Sinitta is legendary <3

Not the most exciting episode in the world but still REALLY enjoyable. I don't really have a lot more to say which is rather unusual for me. :lol:

Better but still way below par. Interesting story though and most have some significance to the season as a whole as the Alpha wasn't destroyed. Only interesting thing right now to me is who their grandfather is secretly communicating with.

Gosh that Katie is rather vile :/ She reminds me of some deformed hybrid love child of Pixie Lott and Diana Vickers. I thought she was very refreshing and exciting at her first audition but she's just extremely fake, the more I see of her. The stupid eyelashes and trying too hard to be like like Madonna/Lady Gaga whilst bigging herself up to forget the words - AGAIN. If she does get through I will be very disappointed. Also Anastasia is it? Possible rejection twice by Cheryl? Eeeek. I loved the put together girl group but the boy band are just a pack of pretty boys that remind me of Westlife. I still want Nicolo to go through because I think we need more interesting people. Matt and Rebecca must be dead certs too. and Mary just continues to grow in my affections with her honest, upfront personality and not breaking down or stopping like an idiot when she forgets the words. I rarely agree with Craig's extreme opinions but the entire Cher thing was so manipulated. I'm sick of seeing her nasty little face already.

I find adverts to be one of the pointless and cringe-worthy inventions ever, but this one wins me over everytime. _smKyihbQ3s

Sadly I can see that disgusting 'Shame' song making it to #1. I honestly don't know why they couldn't just release new Take That material. This track reaks of desperation and a need for money. Will be the worst #1 in a LONG time if it makes it. -_-

It's 6/10 on The CW. I follow US ratings closely so I know none of my favourite shows are in danger of getting the chop :P It has a few likeable qualities about it but I still don't see the appeal at all. Both actresses deserve better imo. 01 The Vampire Diaries 02 Nikita 03 America's Next Top Model 04 Smallville 05 Supernatural 06 Hellcats 07 One Tree Hill 08 90210 09 Gossip Girl 10 Life UnXpected

Shows what a non-entity year 2010 has been for #1s. I either love or wouldn't mind listening to all of the top 10 except Usher and Haiti.

Britney Spears Vs Girls Aloud/Cheryl Cole Vs Lady Gaga Vs Leona Lewis Vs The Saturdays Vs Alexandra Burke Vs The Wombles BuzzJack would explode from the sheer loon overload and it'd definately be a fantastic chart battle!

And there will be the 2nd week of Susan Boyle to contend with. I doubt she'll sell as strongly this year but I'd love it if she could sell enough in her 2nd week to keep JLS at bay :heehee:

Take That are going to be massive. The Circus sold some 400,000 did it not? I might be confused there but IF the lead single is on par with the Beautiful World stuff then I seriously think they could sell 300k or even more. There's so much hype around Robbie reuniting with them that it's going to sell shedloads regardless. JLS will probably have big first week sales but not enough to get higher than #2. I honestly can't see this record selling as much as their debut - a quick tail off and no recovery after Christmas seems likely. Just a shame P!nk's GHits and MCR's new album will be lower now because of this :(

Thanks for the list :) Any estimates on what Katy Perry has sold so far? Thanks.
