Hide&Seek

I would usually avoid anything with Hugh Grant, never though he was much of an actor. A Very English Scandal made me change my mind.

I've been watching this on BBC. I'm surprised this thread is so positive. Not sure I'll watch the next episode, it's very slow moving.

I vote for Your Disco Needs You. The only track I'd skip is Kookachoo. All the rest are superb.

Her best album by miles. Disremembrance is my fave Dannii song ever. I'm sure it would have been as successful as All I Wanna Do (maybe moreso) had it been the immediate follow up. Everything I Wanted is great, but more of a grower. It's Amazing is stunning (pleased that it's someones first choice here B-) ) , and I'd have put that out as a single (and So In Love With Yourself & Heaven Can Wait) before even considering putting out Everything I Wanted.

I vote for On A Night Like This. I also love Spinning Around. It's fun to listen to, and to do. I hate Kids, both the song and actual kids. And Robbie Williams. I'd like Please Stay more than I do, if it had remained just an album track. It annoyed me that it became a single over other tracks. Still, one of her best albums, and by that time I didn't think there was gonna another Kylie album I'd love so much. I mean, the previous 3 albums had grown on me, but it had been 10 yrs since (Rhythm of Love) since there had been a Kylie album that I loved immediately.

I remember hearing Love & Kisses single on radio, and thinking it was just ok. I didn't hear Success when it was released. Jump To The Beat by Staci Lattisaw is fab. Dannii not bad, but not a patch on the original. So, I thought I wasn't into Dannii.....but then I Don't Wanna Take This Pain happened. I actually bought that one. Has to be a fluke, her one great song. And then Baby Love being equally great, made me buy the album. I didn't think much of the album. The singles and True Lovers are good enough, but the rest need replacing with some SAW numbers ! I get that she didn't work with them so as not to be seen as copying Kylie (always gonna be compared to her anyway), but her debut single is the most SAW sounding thing she ever did - could easily imagine Love & Kisses being sung by Reynolds Girls or Sonia. Two of the cringiest lyrics I've ever heard : ''We ain't at McDonalds baby, so what's your beef ?'' (Love & Kisses) ''...My name is Dannii, it's time to get loose to my brand new jammy'' (Party Jam). Dannii does look good on the album cover though. I bought it on cassette originally, and then I re-bought it on cd many yrs later, so it can't be as bad as I'm making it sound. I just wanted it to be better. For the poll, I vote for Baby Love.

+40 Go West - The King Of Wishful Thinking +38 Kylie Minogue - Put Yourself In My Place +36 Amy Grant - Every Heartbeat +34 Maria Naylor - Naked And Sacred +32 Belinda Carlisle - Little Black Book +30 Janet Jackson - Escapade +28 Annie Lennox - Walking On Broken Glass +26 Sophie B Hawkins - Right Beside You +24 Michael Jackson - Will You Be There +22 Saint Etienne - Join Our Club/People Get Real +20 Whitney Houston - I Learned From The Best +18 Madonna - Drowned World (Substitute For Love) +16 Sonique - It Feels So Good ('98) +14 Madonna - Frozen +12 TLC - Unpretty +10 TLC - No Scrubs +8 Sonique - I Put A Spell On You +6 Deee-Lite - Groove Is In The Heart +4 House Of Love - Shine On +2 Mary J Blige - Not Gon' Cry

I love Gimme more than any of what's left ! I vote to get rid of The Winner Takes It All.

I vote for I Believe In You, still sounds magical !

I vote for Breathe. I'm surprised to read here that it doesn't seem to have charted in Ireland. I remember she performed it on Irish tv, but it mustn't have made a difference :( Not fussed on the other two singles. It took forever for Impossible Princess to grow on me. That indie sound just doesn't do it for me, so that cd should think itself lucky if it is played once a yr.

I vote for Better The Devil You Know. I like that Steps did a Kylie song, but I would rather they'd gone for a different one, preferably an album track. My fav Kylie album changes from her debut to Rhythm Of Love. Both perfection ! I just wish they'd squeezed out another couple of singles from ROL.

Word Is Out was the first Kylie single that I wasn't keen on. I still bought it (was buying all her singles), but when If You Were With Me Now and Give Me Just A Little More Time were released, I thought ''Now that's more like it'', and then Finer Feelings was released and I thought it was as bland as Word is Out. And I was a lil bit disappointed with the album too. Having said all that, I grew to love that album and all it's singles. I vote for If You Were With Me Now. For me, it's still the best duet she's ever done !

I bought Golden on Tuesday, but haven't listened to it yet. :o I love Eurovision but feel deflated when it's over (and probably sulking over the winner not being who I wanted to win :P ). I'm gonna wait for the Eurovision to be over, so I still have something new and fabulous to look forward to listening to ! :D

My fanzine arrived in the mail this morning. :cheer: I'm surprised there's that many countries yet to score.

''ITALY: Ermal Meta e Fabrizio Moro - Non Mi Avete Fatto Niente'' :) I'm ok with that. That was one of the songs I'd only heard a couple of times, but since getting the ESC cd this week, my rankings would change and that one would go uo a lot. Not a winner, but maybe 10th ?

5 please !

I love it when a song that criminally didn't qualify for the final, makes it onto someones list of favourites. I'd expect to see the absolute gems such as Crisalide and Verona, but this one jumped out : ^^ what an unusual , yet wonderful choice. It just made me happy seeing it there. :)

I vote for Malta, I always like their entries. I always like to see Iceland do well too. I'm liking the songs from Hungary a lot in recent years.

I like the Cheeky Christmas one. I don't like their version of Sabrina's 'Boys'. I loved their appearance in Peter Kay's 'Britain's Got The Pop Factor....' :D
