'Tear Run Dry' and 'Now Or Never'.......but a very difficult choice :wacko: once I've removed the remixes! I'm not a fan of them I'm afraid! :huh:

Very nice Paul....is that one of your eclipse photos? That would be a good title too....'Eclipse'. And just to enhance my choices for single titles.... 'One Choice', 'Every Chance', 'Begin Again'. And another option for an album title 'Inspirations'. :)

Ooooh..... That's odd, cos a couple of weeks ago I was wondering what he might call the next album and in a moment of boredom decided to design an album cover!!!! OK, I'm sad, I know!! :blush: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v157/shazzab/Albumsleeve.jpg The idea 'Contrasts' arose from not really knowing what style this album would fit into, and it perhaps being a total contrast to previous material. Also because of the number of contrasts in his life that could provide writing inspiration. As for single titles I'll hazard a guess at the word 'One', 'Every' or 'Again' being in there Oh, and nobody better pinch my cover idea without asking......ok, Darius!!?!! :P :lol:

But JB wasn't totally ignored.....before he hit the 'big time' there were a small bunch of us on his message-board who promoted him as best we could - round other general music forums, telling everyone we knew and contacting radio stations, largely without success. And he'd toured supporting Katie Melua - thus reaching a more mature audience than Darius has been 'aimed' towards. Gradually his music seemed to strike a chord with a lot of people and within no time his message-board just 'exploded'! Then came 'You're Beautiful' and he was off!! Now I can't keep up with the site it's so busy!! From reading some of the other forums on here it seems JB is hated just as much as Darius, bizarre when you consider his album sales and the length of time it's been in the charts! Similarly to Darius tho, he's a really nice guy - maybe that's the problem! Although I've supported JB from the start and love his music, I often wish Darius had been afforded the same breaks, but then it appears it's not the done thing to be a reality tv musician - it's so frowned upon by 'legitimate' music buffs. <_< I really, wish Darius' B-sides had as wide an airing as JB now has as they ARE some of his best songs, but Colourblind will always hold a special place for me and, as such, deserved my top vote - I like a lot of the songs on that list, but would much prefer to listen to Colourblind before any of them! ^_^

After due deliberation :wacko: Avril Lavigne – Complicated (14) Christina Aguilera – Dirrty (1) Coldplay - In My Place (12) Daniel Bedingfield – If You’re Not The One (19) Darius – Colour Blind (20) Elvis vs JXL – A Little Less Conversation (11) Enrique Iglesias – Hero (10) Holly Valance – Kiss Kiss (4) Nickelback – How You Remind Me (15) Norah Jones - Don't Know Why? (18) Oasis – Stop Crying Your Heart Out (2) Pink – Get The Party Started (9) Pink – Just Like A Pill (8) Robbie Williams – Feel (16) Ronan Keating – If Tomorrow Never Comes (7) Shakira – Whenever Wherever (5) Sophie Ellis-Bexter - Murder On The Dancefloor (13) Stereophonics - Handbags & Gladrags (3) Sugababes – Round Round (6) Vanessa Carlton - A Thousand Miles (17)

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion AND taste in music. You're very keen to share yours with everyone, so let others have theirs too....even if it's not what YOU like! :P After all there are 430 members on here, and they can't all have the same taste, nor all be fans of one artist - so live and let live! :whip:

OK, me.....run and hide if you're of a nervous disposition! . . . . . http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v157/shazzab/avatarDSH.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v157/shazzab/Maidstonebanner.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v157/shazzab/Darius.jpg And I'm hiding any others I have!!!! :blush:
