I read an article a couple of days ago that suggested Robbie Williams is already helping to write songs for the next TT album...

"SHE GAVE SIMON COWELL SEXUAL FAVOURS FOR THIS JOB" would be a great tagline I think.

Annie Lennox LESBIAN? Well I would never have thought it of her.

We're actually busy debating the merits of adding a Sara Bareilles forum, but thanks for showing an interest anyway.

Boogie Pimps methinks. Vaguely disturbing video aside, it's uninspired and repetitive.

Judgement hath been made. The following forums are to be archived over the next week or so; Alicia Keys Christina Aguilera Delta Goodrem Nelly Furtado Shakira The Beatles The Killers We have given Sophie Ellis-Bextor an extra month to prove itself, as it DID see a small boost in activity through April, but we're not convinced it's not a fluke to be honest. Also next up, the following forums are now on the one month "probation" period. If activity doesn't pick up through the rest of May/June, they will also be archived away and left to float around cyberspace. Anastacia Black Eyed Peas Kelly Clarkson The Pussycat Dolls

I love that they're trying to introduce Cherly as if she's already an established name in America and that the Americans have just carelessly FORGOTTEN that she's a multi-platinum selling artist.

She hasn't been officially confirmed yet. The Daily Mail are suggesting that it's a done deal, but neither ITV or Simon Cowell have said anything yet, so essentially it's just another speculative article (albeit one that sounds VERY sure of itself).

Definitely a $h!t year for #1's. On a separate note, I am AGOG at the lack of appreciation for I Just Can't Stop Loving You. +15 Yazz 'The Only Way Is Up' +12 Enya 'Orinoco Flow' +10 Belinda Carlisle 'Heaven Is A Place On Earth' +08 Fairground Attraction 'Perfect' +06 The Hollies 'He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother' +05 Cliff Richard 'Mistletoe And Wine' +04 Aswad 'Don't Turn Around' +03 U2 'Desire' +02 Robin Beck 'First Time' +01 Pet Shop Boys 'Heart' -02 Kylie Minogue 'I Should Be So Lucky'

I hereby decree today to be INTERNATIONAL BILLIE MYERS DAY

Who the heck is that penetrating Paula Abdul from behind?

Oh I don't doubt for a minute that Amelle was an utter CUNT with the whole Sugababes 4.0 debacle, and Heidi as useless as a chocolate tea cosy (business as per). But at the same time there's simply TOO much smoke around Keisha for there to be no fire. Anyway, that is a WHOLE different debate.

That may come as quite the shock to Siobhan Donaghy and Heidi Range.

The fact that I was consistently in the "lower" scores section says less about me, and more about how ridiculously high the rest of your LOON scores were. Well apart from Because Of You where I feature because it is genuine CRAP. Celine Dion would have trouble keeping her food down with all the sickly sweet goo going on there.

It is far too early for Jamelia to go out. She might be a bit of a useless has-been these days, but Thank You was quite wonderful, and she really was on form in '04. JOJO OUT PLEASE

So I've managed to download The Elephant and the Moon - quite the mixed bag. I suspect this is going to be like listening to a Now album. You're never going to enjoy listening to the album all the way through just as it's so diverse (in the first six tracks I've had rock, rap, electropop and singer/songwriter), but there will no doubt be some utter GEMS tucked away in there as well (I'm already loving track 6 in particular, and I already know track 3). There's a fair few non-English tracks, so I'm going to guess this may possibly be Pavel.

So my inclusion of a 2 minute Mongolian folk music interlude wasn't fooling anyone? :(

So you've decided it can't be mine because "most were quite good". DIGGING. HOLE. PAVEL. As an aside, although Des'ree is a bit of a joke, at the same time Feel So High is a genuinely LOVELY track. GET TO IT

http://www.moopy.org.uk/forums/images/smilies/hurt.gif It would serve Pavel JUST RIGHT if he DID end up with the unofficial greatest hits of Des'ree, the loathsome wretch.

Alas, The Elephant and the Moon does not want to download. I shall try again tomorrow evening I think.

Is dating a teen heart-throb not a SUREFIRE way of earning yourself the undying HATE of every girl under the age of 18? If her career wasn't f***ed before, it is now!
