I honestly think that's another "Nil Points" for the UK this year. It's utterly bland. Am shocked Michelle Gayle didn't win. I think it would have been the UK's strongest entry since 1997.

Thank you for going to all that trouble! :) Some interesting reading there.

"Love Is A Battlefield" for me. With "We Belong" a close second.

I want Dustin to win. Have loved him since he first appeared on The Den way back when. But I have to say that the Leona song was fantastic. Totally unlike anything Ireland has entered before (in a good way!). Have just found her website www.leonadaly.com/home

I bought her album recently. Absolutely love it.

I like "Sleep" a lot. Really good song.

I'm liking the song more than I thought I would. Sounds quite good turned up to maximum volume on my mp3 player. However, I can't really see it doing that well in the charts. I think her commercially successful days are behind her.

I love The Beautiful South. "Good As Gold" is an absolute pop gem.

I like Texas. My favourite song is "Inner Smile" and my favourite album is "Southside".

I really like Piece of Me. Hope it does well. Also, liked Gimme More. I've never bought a Britney album in my life but I'm tempted maybe to buy Blackout.

I absolutely adore that Feeder track. Fantastic track and great video.

I think "Madgestic" would be a great name for her supposed Greatest Hits album that will be released after "Licorice".

I like "Nite Runner". Hopefully it will do a bit better than "Falling Down". But for me the stand out track on the album is "Skin Divers". Great song and would make a fine single.

Billboard.com are reporting that Madonna's new album will be called "Licorice". http://www.billboard.com/bbcom/news/articl...t_id=1003682350 Oops, sorry! I have just realised that this has already been posted in the "Official New Album" thread. I didn't see the thread until after I'd posted.

I love this album. It's possibly my favourite album of the year. I read somewhere a few months ago that "Medevac" may be released as a single in the new year.

I hope Girls Aloud can do it later in the week. I think it's one of their better songs.

Am shocked that Shayne is beating Kylie. I didn't see that one coming.

I'm really shocked at Duran only being Top 50. It doesn't bode well for the album doing well.
