lolhey

Not too shabby.

Well idk if it was "expected" to go number one.. but it SHOULD of been number one. "Beware of the Dog" - Jamelia. I wish some of the good UK acts were brought to America, I could of really saw that shattering the charts here tbh. It's such a quality pop song, and a surprise it never went number one in the UK imho.

Nope, I prefer it as well.. but I'm not even in the UK so it had no relevance from my side of things anyways rofl.

It's not like Matthew needs the money... or would even get a money from Rihanna + lol this is clearly fake, makes a good lol though.

I actually love this, probably one of the better winner singles from Canadian Idol for sure. Theo is a tremendous talent.

This is exciting :wub:

I love "Cosmic Journey".. if they don't release it as a single here in the US.. I could see it being pretty well received at least Overseas (UK, etc). I love that track as well, could make for a potentially great video I would think as well.

They have to live up to their name, obviously.

I think Jessica is a great pop artist... and also makes a great country artist. It's a shame she gets so much slack either direction she goes with. Anyways.. "In This Skin" will probably always be my favorite Jessica album, but from the little I previewed of "Do You Know" this is leaps and bounds better than "A Public Affair" (the only track I truly love off that was her cover of "You Spin Me".. which should of been a single imho). I'm buying this album later today I think.

It's not even bad imho, but again...I liked him on the show. I have a soft spot for him.

So basically I'm obsessed with this album, and if the rumors are true about "T.O.N.Y" being the third single.. then there is a god. And this is coming from someone who loathed her previous to this album. It's a shame this album is so underrated though, easily imho one of the better albums to come out this year.

ROFL you were saying? (not to be mean, but it made me giggle a bit :] ) and honestly this is one of the best albums to come out so far in 2008. I literally love every song on it, I also love how the producing isn't too similiar for all the songs (minus a few.) Even the interludes would of been excellent songs. I think it's a different sound then the first album. but I love that album to pieces too.

^I love the "Penthouse and Pavement" album. Well actually my favorite Heaven 17 album is "How Men Are" but that's like my second favorite. anyways getting back on topic, this was an excellent read. And I too love the "Dare" album, top notch.

rofl this is a forum board to state an opinion and that is exactly what I did. Tell me where I said it was a truth? You can't police my opinion. What you're saying isn't changing my mind, really you can get off your soap box. I'll stick with my opinion and you can stick with yours. I never even said she was rock, I said she had rock elements to her music. I never said she was stright up rock. And sorry you feel that way, but lol honestly I don't care. I never dismissed she was still pop though, but of course you're too hardheaded to bring that point up.

Duffy. (I'm an American but still even her stuff pre-Rockferry is awesome. Natasha/Amy wouldn't be too far from Duffy though.

rofl, first of all I realize that there is more than one pop sound. I never said she was a "rocker" I said some of her music had rock/pop influence. I said her earlier albums had more of a rock driven sound with a mix of pop. I can quote that if you want btw. I never said she was regarded as a rock artists lol, she was considered bubblegum pop. I'm 22, but I am familiar with her albums from then, seeing how I have them on vinyl. I still think she was less "pop" for those years, but its a PERSONAL opinion.. I never stated it as a truth :]

um... they are not even similiar? (curtis vs. tears for fears) but I chose Tears for Fears "Advice for The Young At Heart" is one of my favorite songs of all time, I do like Curtis too though. I chose the Blow Monkeys for the other one.

meh, I respectfully disagree. There are very obvious rock elements to her albums from 81-85, I would never say she was the Girls Aloud type of sound from back then. Have you even heard the "Teases and Dares" album? Granted there is heavy synths on the album, the guitar dominance is quite obvious too. That isn't really a straight "pop" album imho. I hate when people don't acknowledge that rock is multi-faceted and not just one straight genre.

Simon Cowell is that you?

I picked "Just An Illusion" the piano parts alone own. I love it. I'm surprised people haven't sampled this song.. its very good.

I love the song, its catchy. The video is cheesy but entirely effective.

Eh I don't think Kim Wilde was a pop artists until her 86' album "Another Step" her albums previous to that were very more rock driven with a mix of a little pop... but "Another Step" imho is pure pop. I mean "You Keep Me Hanging On" is very pop.. same with "Say You Really Want Me" and her other albums after that are extremely pop. Personally my favorite Kim Album is "Teases and Dares" but my favorite song is "Say You Really Want Me".

in no specific order... -Soul Decision (minus them, they are always first) -N'sync -Backstreet Boys -Five (5ive) (they were semi-mainstream here in the states so I counted them) -O'Town

I like some of her remixes... but that's about it. Her songs are catchy though.

it's about time, I hope she goes the Shania route... she'd totally work it.
