Nicki is liking shit about Leigh-Anne’s husband, which is so ironic I want to f***ing scream with frustration at this woman.

Yep, I’m done with Jesy. To sit and laugh at Nicki ripping into your “sister” of 10 years is disgusting. Little Mix are a trio and I hope when Jesy comes running back for a reunion tour they say no.

I stand with Leigh-Anne. But it’s really sad that a band that were so close and best friends to end like this. Jesy’s interviews over next few days will be interesting.

This take is not it. Why should MNEK, a black man in the same industry, have to explain what’s wrong? It’s not his job to educate the ignorant. And he has used his platform to push black female artists that need support. He’s been posting videos and retweeting his favourite black females all day.

Leigh-Anne has put an insta story up which is very fitting for today.

I can’t believe people are so openly dismissing the blatant cultural appropriation going on in this video? There are so many black female artists struggling to get anything off the ground yet we have a white girl dressing up as one getting a pretty much instant hit. It’s really sad to see.

I got 33/1 so stuck a tenner on.

I’ve put some money on Taylor Swift. It’s a long shot but she’s got huge buzz right now and the video is dropping with the song so she could nab it.

Not great in the US either, Smile falls 49 spots to #54 on the Billboard 200 for its second week.

Crazy to see at this time, and she's not even deleted the tweet. It's insane. We have crisis talks at my work today at 11.30am. We're an event company that specialises in meetings and conferences so our cancellations are totalling in the thousands now. This is so serious and to see people being so nonchalant about it is making me want to scream!

They’ve announced... nothing

Absolutely, and it is nothing to do with Sam Smith reading this thread in particular. There could be a forum member on here who is coming to terms with their identity and seeing someone like Sam being misgendered could be very triggering. Think before you post everyone, it's really not difficult.

She's released her most accessible song yet "Delete Forever". I'm hearing the "Wonderwall" comparisons strongly but it is a beautifully sad track gvzC8MmC850

I hate this attitude of "that's just him though lol!", well maybe so but he still deserves to be called out on this shit. Pop girls get cancelled and dragged for not apologising on BEHALF of men yet men can say and do whatever they want and nothing really happens. Yes he's getting backlash online but it's nothing like what I saw for say, Nicki Minaj when all she did was call out Travis for being a bit tacky. It's madness to me the double standards in this industry are absolutely horrendous and if we don't call it out nothing will change.

He's not the lead writer on most songs? That's odd. There's also a vile lyric comparing himself to a bomb at an Ariana concert so he can f***ing keep it.

I don't see anything coming any time soon. Might have to boycott the makeup line.

The whole album is just "will this do?". Nothing remarkable at all, and not bad. I'm struggling to muster up an opinion other than meh?!

Enjoy: Boston Globe My eyes are burning. Oh God, my eyes. Collider Can you make a movie so bad that the Academy takes back your Best Director Oscar? Asking for Tom Hooper. The Beat Cats is the worst thing to happen to cats since dogs. Hollywood Reporter Cat-astrophic. LA Times "Cats” is both a horror and an endurance test. Slashfilm There is a thin line between idiocy and genius, and Cats pukes a hairball on it and rubs its ass all over it. Variety Nine may not be enough lives for some of the stars to live down their involvement in this poorly conceived and executed adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s hit musical. Little White Lies I felt the light inside me slowly fading. The Playlist Once Tom Hooper's 110 minutes of Cats are over, theater is dead. And we unchosen ones are left, tragically, to continue living. New York Times It's amazing to see what Adult Swim can accomplish with a $100 million budget. I never knew Tom Hooper was capable of making a surrealist nightmare that would rival Jodorowsky, that could baffle David Lynch, that would prompt even the dark god Cthulhu to emit an impressed eldritch shriek of “nehehehehehe” Vulture To assess Cats as good or bad feels like the entirely wrong axis on which to see it. It is, with all affection, a monstrosity. The Daily Telegraph Glad to report that Cats is everything you’d hoped for and more: a mesmerisingly ugly fiasco that makes you feel like your brain is being eaten by a parasite. A viewing experience so stressful that it honestly brought on a migraine. Den of Geek One of the weirdest and most garish monstrosities to be birthed out of the Hollywood studio system in this century. Vanity Fair It’s an ugly stray who smells bad and should not be invited into your home, certainly. And yet it is its own kind of living creature, worthy of at least some basic compassion. The Guardian A purr-fectly dreadful hairball of woe. 1/5. Indiewire Tom Hooper’s feline musical is an absurd and exuberant mess. This visually dense adaptation of the Andrew Lloyd Webber hit is at once too crazy for this world, and not quite crazy enough. Newsday Fans of the stage musical may swoon, but others will be severely allergic. The Wrap Andrew Lloyd Webber’s feline fantasy musical becomes a garish hairball. It’s hard to “ruin” Webber’s already strange musical, but Tom Hooper’s wrongheaded attempt certainly tries. Tom Hooper’s jarring fever dream of a spectacle is like something that escaped from Dr. Moreau’s creature laboratory instead of a poet’s and a composer’s feline (uni)verse, an un-catty valley hybrid of physical and digital that unsettles and crashes way more often than it enchants. Bleeding Cool Cats is a strange beast to begin with, but the combination of strange CGI makes the translation from stage to screen even worse. Slant This adaptation gets straight to the heart of the material, which is basically two hours of stray cats introducing themselves. Rendy Reviews On a scale of one to Zemeckis, Hooper's Cats boldly goes beyond the uncanny valley and creates a tier of its own. Screen Junkies A spectacular disaster...This movie feels like a prank but I don't know on whom. The Jam Report The most inexplicably bizarre film of the year, it's jawdropping for all the wrong reasons. RTE Ireland First off, full disclosure - I am not a cat person. Second off - after watching this frankly mortifying film adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Cats, I'm not altogether sure I am a movie person anymore either.

She is not even close to being on Nelly Furtado's level! Nelly hasn't had a hit single in 10 years and about 3 flop albums under her belt. Katy's "Witness" album was a flop but still outsold the last 3 Nelly albums combined and multiplied by about 10. Katy is definitely on the way down but bare in mind "Never Really Over" is a hit, a small one but a hit. She can still achieve moderate success that many artists dream of.

I am going to bump this because she absolutely deserves more attention and I feel certain members on here will ADORE this...

I'm baffled as to why they didn't continue to push this. They had a huge hit on their hands and decided "Small Talk" was going to do well? This would have been a big hit had it been given longer to flourish.

I have a feeling the reveal of "Sammie" is going to be TENSE tonight, especially for Georgina and Tim.

Last year was weird the voting system was different in that they would rate players out of 5 instead of ranking them. So final they all just gave each other 1 and 2 stars except Dan who gave Kate a 3/4 so made her win. It was very flawed. Then the other prize was decided by public on a “popularity vote” system so Kate won both.

I don’t think anyone but Georgina can win now. She’ll get a first from Sammie and Paddy and a 2nd from both Tim and Woody I imagine. If it’s decided by a vote.

Oh I love this, Siobhan sounds gorgeous on the second verse.
