Is that exclusive, or is it an album track?

Will pix..

Will Young vs James Morrison vs Mutya Buena vs Joss Stone
:lol: Will tops best and almost the worst list as well! Well I voted for Will as best and Mutya as worst. Will has the most unique voice out of the lot, and is a consistently good live performer. Beverley Knight would come a very close second, she's amazing. I've judged Mutya purely on live performances with Sugababes, though, as I haven't heard her solo yet. I thought she was ropey as a live singer in Sugababes.

Will pix..
:rofl: He is an it, now. :lol: I'd like to see its considerable pen. Almost peeing myself laughing! Thanks for that.

Pirate Bones
I love that track, too. The lyrics are so quirky and different. It would be cool if that was a single, though I also doubt it will be released. I just hope she does get to a third single, actually. Hopefully Soulmate will see to that, i.e. helps the album climb back up the chart into the top ten. :)

3 albums... 3 favourites
Yeah, b-sides, that's a whole other topic...! I'm another one who's not keen on remixes. SIO was particularly bad as, at the time, I really didn't like SIO anyway (it's grown on me quite a lot since, but I gave it only 2 out of 10 initially :blush: :lol: ), so the remixes were a waste of perfectly good CD-space. Grrr. :banghead: Fortunately, ATL made up for it. I will just have to be content with the new album, I guess.

Vote for your favourite forum description!
I voted for the first one. The last one has a grammatical error in it, so I hope it wouldn't be used as it is. :blush: I'm fussy like that.

3 albums... 3 favourites
Yes, "Every time we say goodbye" also has me :cry: Jessica sings this beautifully. I wrote an interpretation of IWD :blush:, I think early in 2003, when we had a longish thread on that song over on D. I love Beyond The Sea as well, though, no fussy, artificially elongated version as in Robbie's and Bobby's versions, just plain good old lusty singing. :D By the way, I've already thought of another thread that could while away some time while we wait for more music from Will, but I think I'll post that up in July, after all the SPE stuff has happened. :)

3 albums... 3 favourites
I'm finding this rather hard myself! :o :lol: But I'll give it a go: From Now On You and I - still not bored with this, it still rocks live! From Now On - excellent guitar pop What's In Goodbye - it's a personal thing, so many memories attached to that Also rans would have to be Cruel To Be Kind, Side By Side and Lovestruck. I probably love this album just as much now as I did when it first came out. Friday's Child Friday's Child - over 8 minutes of bliss :wub: Stronger - the live version he did on the theatre tour was just stunning Free - I love both, the album version and the laid back 2004 tour version :wub: Also rans: LRN (cause it's a modern classic now), Very Kind and Going My Way - I think I'm one of few people who'd put this song in their top 5 of FC Keep On Think About It - play those horns, play those horns :yahoo: Home :cry: Home :cry: Oops, I've said Home already? Ok then... All Time Love :heart: Close runners-up to ATL are: All I Want and Keep On Bonus 1 I Won't Dance - the recording is just perfect, 10/10, cannot fault it, it's a classic, I'll never ever ever (NEVER EVER!) get bored with this. Sheer Bliss! Bonus 2 All The Things You Are - it's just so beautifully sung, it's a real gem, even my sister loves this (and I was getting on her nerves with Will) Bonus 3 Blame it on the Sun - makes me cry, too, TT I Couldn't Love You More - not sure whether that's the right title, but it was the one he did during the outdoor summer gigs in 2004, when he played the tambourine. That line "if I lay down in the rain and died for you" always got me :cry: Say That I Love You - that was just so rockin' and so much fun :dance: Will's done so many excellent covers, though, like You're Welcome To The Club and Dontcha and Ain't No Sunshine, to name just a few. Phew!

3 albums... 3 favourites
Just thought of this for a music chat thread idea: Will has published 3 albums so far. Which 3 songs on each album are your favourites? Why (only if you want to explain)? "Bonus question" 1: Do you prefer Beyond the Sea or I Won't Dance on the Big Band album? "Bonus question" 2: On the MHP soundtrack, what's your favourite track? "Bonus question" 3: Which are your 3 favourite covers that Will's ever done? They could be anything, from one off performances to recorded tracks. I now have to go away and think about my own answers to these... :lol:

True. Still, I'd love to hear Think About It live some time, it's one of my favourites on Keep On. Perhaps it'll get an "airing" at a gig in the future, or for the next tour. :wub:

Have you downloaded or brought 'N.B.'?
I don't download, as I don't have the internet at home, but even if I did, I think I'd still prefer a CD album. So I bought the album. I'm loving the next single, Soulmate. Pirate Bones is one of my other favourites. :)

It's All For You
In my opinion, it's not "personality" Leona is lacking - well, for starters, everyone has a personality - but stage presence and charisma. Kelly Clarkson has it, and Whitney has it in spades. Just to be a good singer isn't enough. Stage presence can be developed, but I'm not sure about charisma, you either have it naturally or you don't. I really really hope Simon doesn't get Leona to release Somewhere! :o I already have 2 beautiful version, one from a West Side Story soundtrack, and Barbra's version. I've always loved Barbra's voice, since I first saw Funny Girl and then Yentl. I haven't heard the duet with Il Divo, yet, but I'm finding it hard to imagine that the boys will emotionally connect with the song.

Commercial Radio Top 40 Artists of the Millenium
:lol: True, I guess. Yeah, this chart could be airplay based. Dido hasn't released an album since 2003, has she?
-
Commercial Radio Top 40 Artists of the Millenium
But she wasn't in the top 10, which proves my point. Surely she's sold more albums than Corinne Bailey-Rae. And Will has sold more than Corinne as well. Maybe this was another list voted for in some way? :unsure: Toni xxx

Commercial Radio Top 40 Artists of the Millenium
Don't think it's a success-based list, because otherwise Dido is extremely conspicuous by her absence.
