Torple

If both Suedehead and Dandy are going to be too familiar with Mark's tracks, I'll take it instead. Although I'd need a few days to get a review out.

I'm not sure why people are so surprised at the inclusion of Born This Way. It's one of the 10 biggest selling hits of the year so far in the UK, and it was MASSIVE all across the world. The other singles WEREN'T. Similarly, would people expect Set Fire To The Rain or Turning Tables to be included over Someone Like You?

Essentially this. The 2009 results showed much promise, but this one just fell totally back in typical Buzzjack form, where any old shite will get voted through so long as it's sung by a characterless female. Turn It Up is possibly the most forgettable chart "hit" of the past two years. Completely generic drivel.

It speaks volumes as to the "quality" of a year when even S Club Juniors can only attract the 1 solitary vote.

That wasn't

I fear for the results to this. Many, many great songs, and still I see endless votes for The Saturdays, Shontelle and Pixie Lott.

The likes of Madonna, U2, Sugababes and even Darius are doing just fine even without current material...

I can type out the discography of The Corrs (2001-2005 strictly) if that is any help for padding the list out?

That was taken into account, but even without B&I's, activity was significantly lower than other forums :( The topic shall be moved in 2 secs

We really did do a MUCH better job picking the males then we did the females didn't we? The right balance of present AND the classics.

I figured both really would be overload. And I was never as enamoured with Sharon's solo album as I was Ten Feet High.

I don't find the Greg/Tanya THAT unrealistic. Although Greg is obviously an out-and-out hottie, Tanya is not exactly difficult to look at and has quite the bubbly personality when she's not drowning in angst. What I'm finding more irritating is the inevitable affair storyline. I'm bored already. Not because of Max and Tanya as such; the actors involved will obviously do a WONDERFUL job with it as always, but it's all so PREDICTABLE and INEVITABLE. I know I need not watch it for three months but still be up-to-date because it's so obvious how it's all going to go.

Don't lie. You want her dead just a little bit. Anyway, I'm actually a little shocked Zoe went. I was SURE poor brave Tom was heading for the chop. Much as I'd love to be able to agree with him, I just CAN'T see RFC's prediction coming off; Tom's a little too eccentric for Sirallun's tastes and he hasn't QUITE set any of the tasks on fire either. He's by far my favourite contender, but I don't see him as a potential victor. I think right now it really is Helen's for the taking. She's the only one not to have shown herself up as being a prize tit in any of the tasks so far, and at this late stage that's really quite impressive. That's two weeks in a row she's pulled in record figures. Tom's too eccentric, Susan and Natasha are gone the next time they're up, Melody's an abrasive compulsive liar who seems to have a particularly peculiar hobby of completely MAKING UP focus group results ("they hated the car seats", "the heart biscuits were the ONLY thing they liked", "they all said Sirallun should hire me immediately", "they all annexed the meeting room and declared themselves an independent nation with me as their Queen"), and Nick and Karren both HATE Jim and will be imploring Sirallun at every opportunity not to go into business with him - he's a strong and forceful character but he makes some utterly APPALLING decisions and speaks some absolute shit.
