The 2 strongest vocal performances in the last section - perhaps they should get Michele Gayle to sing the Revelations song!

The judges are doing well so far.

As the judges said both had weak vocals so The Revelations could lose to a great vocal performance of an inferior song later on.

Ropey vocals in my opinion!!

Every week I am amazed at this list - brilliant work!

Another media non story. Talent goes out of the country while talent comes in. It's a world-wide market now - you can come and go as you please and that's exactly what people with brains are gonna do. This is a good thing - it's only the parochial minds who read papers like the Mail and the Telegraph who would think otherwise.

I love Goldfrapp but I'm not surprised the single only reached number 10. It's simply not commercial enough to break through in a big way. I think they'll struggle to get another hit from the LP if it's all like A&E (I haven't heard it yet). I get the feeling that this LP is going to be like the first - An Lp that works as an LP rather than a bunch of potential hit singles. This is a good thing by the way, in case you think I'm having a go at them!

People in the record industry are as dumb as stumps. This was never gonna work. But they'll never learn - they have completely lost contact with their customers. If you want a physical format you want something substantial (and not at those ludicrous prices). If you want a purely digital format you'll go online; so there's just no room for USB sticks. The public never wanted them - but the record biz likes to think they know best what we want - they don't.

Bought my first CD player in 1988, and bought 2 CDs the same day: ABC - The Lexicon Of Love Big Audio Dynamite - Big Audio Dynamite Still two of my favourite albums.

What was the video for 'Wow' in the Sunday chart thread? People in daft costumes on a fashion runway. Is that just a 'fill-in' video till the real one comes along? :unsure:

I'm not surprised Kelly Rowland hasn't made number one - she was never going to beat Basshunter and Adele. I quite like the song too, although I don't think it's as strong as 'Like This' , which I really liked (unlike many on these boards). I don't think 'Wow' is going to make the top five now. Compare 'Wow' (2nd single from the album) and 'Don't stop the music' (4th single from the album). Up until last week the 1st had only made number 26, while the second had made number 4 - both on downloads alone. Kylie may even struggle to make the top ten - like 'Change'.

I got to Felt Mountain late and, I have to agree, it's a great lost classic; although not as lost as it would have been if they hadn't gone on to greater success.
