Adam

I must admit when I saw 37 it made me want to cry but then I realised that's because I've been checking her position every 5 seconds and that for most of yesterday she was 34 on iTunes or lower :P

24? And the pop bars say 22? AH WHERE IS SHE?! :lol:

I don't think 37 is a bad position for VV today at all, she is certainly on the up and I think she'll be top 25 by the weeks end :D

My feed has Arctics No.9 and VV No.23! Also on the iPhone have they removed the iTunes chart or just moved it? They used to have 'top 10's' and you could get the top 100, can't find it now, I used to check everywhere!

Don't shoot the messenger! Just paraphrasing her! Unless she's lying, she's denied having heard it first.

Natalie has gone on record saying they started this record over a year ago and Evacuate was one of the first songs they did - before GaGa was even heard of.... I like it anyway, fair play to them. What the hell went on with La Roux's album not being No.1? :(

Someone also said it was his second single from the album but Dance Wiv Me was never on an album before now was it? I predict an easy No.1 for this - an album with THREE No.1 singles on it is going to be MASSIVE - he's timed it all so right as it is almost as if this is his second single, but the adverts will remind people of three absolute whopper hits!

Well er, this Cascada song isn't a cover at all is it? But that comment was uncalled for. If Cascada can cut the lead by 3k in a day, and it's only Wednesday, I think they'll be No.1 Sunday.

I really don't think a couple of Radio 1 plays will affect it greatly. We have a warped opinion of music sometimes on forums, our obsession with it isn't standard for the country as a whole, nor is our desire to hear it. How few of us will have heard it go out live on R1 - and then how many of us actively searched for it etc? Most people wouldn't do that! They'll be hearing it for the first time soon and it'll be a top 10 hit IMO

OH. MY. DAYS. NO. CHUFFING. WAY She looks amazing.

Yep, the sig is a bit old, still like them all but Tunstall and Blunt I am not totally obsessed with anymore but Mraz is my favourite musician ever - then Kate Nash, Mayer, Lily Allen, Estelle and the Arctic Monkeys :D

'Say' was the only good thing about 'The Bucket List'

It's untrue that he has never tried the UK, they tried with Bigger Than My Body back in the day too.. and I think he's a chart success in the US, 'Say' hung around for ages and 'Waiting On The World To Change' was massive if I remember right. He is in my top 3 favourite artists, he's incredible.

Eugh, no VV. Fortunately I think she has a medium sized hit even without Radio 1.. but this is one of the radio friendly songs of the summer, what are they playing at?

I like it, disagree with the 'trumps' comment re: Saturdays. Also they don't look as personable as the Sats are.. but I wish them well.

I agree, Margaret said Debra appeared to have learned something. I disagree with that, I think she was good at selling, but she always was. She still spoke to Yasmina and James like $h!t about being project manager. I think the right person went. Lorraine is actually the person who has lost the least amount of tasks, and at this point in the competition you are looking at 10 weeks, not one. Howard has had a couple of bright moments but has otherwise been largely too quiet and cautious. Next weeks looks good - the clips for Yasmina weren't great - I hope she doesn't go though as I'd quite like to see her win (as Lorraine won't!). But then again, there were no clips of Lorraine being shown up. Either she does okay, or something REALLY bad happens and they are saving it!

Wasn't that impressed with the talent tonight, I must say 01. Gareth - LOVE ventriloqism. I don't think the act was as funny as it could have been but the talent involved in singing THAT WELL (better than Jamie!) through a dummy - wow! 02. Merlin - I actually was on the edge of my seat with the tense nature of it all - agreed with Amanda that the rope didn't appear to be burning too quickly and because it was burning through the rope rather than down towards him maybe it had less impact? 03. Shaun - A good performance but not a brilliant one - he could have hit bigger and better notes for me 04. Flawless - Clearly they are good and tight but this had nothing on the intelligence and innovativeness of Diversity for me.. 05. DJ Talent - Awful but funny awful.. love how even Simon was joining in for the 'Cowell'! 06. Hot Honeyz - I actually thought they were quite good but rank this low because essentially it's not as niche and difficult as what Flawless and co do. 07. Jamie - I knew he wasn't going to win - wasn't sure that he wouldn't be top 3 but after that awful performance he didn't deserve it - very glad with that one, just poor. 08. Drag Queen - Just plain bad. I remember really liking the drag queen last year... Great showing from Escala too. I really honestly thought Shaun had this in the bag - was surprised to see Flawless top the votes.. I just hope that because it's Susan Boyle that's the only reason Diversity didn't. And I hoped Amanda would go with Piers and make the final one of variety... at the moment we've two singers and two dance troupes... a ventriloquist would have been amazing!

Here are my rankings: 01. Sue Son - Incredibly talented and she looked SO SEXY, really was impressed, one of the few to improve on their audition 02. Diversity - Innovative, interesting, creative - both these top two acts 10/10 03. Susan Boyle - Started badly but pulled it back. Despite saying there was no pressure, there will have been. I think she lived up. 04. Faces of Disco - Had never seen these before, thought it was hilarious, don't know if it'd have had legs 05. Natalie Okri - Disappointing compared to her audition but I think she did it as well as Addictiv Ladies on X Factor 06. Julia - I mean it wasn't bad but I think sometimes less is more. Interesting that I found Sue a hell of a lot sexier. 07. Nick Hell - I cringed, I couldn't watch, I'm glad it never finished 08. Darth Jackson - Just awful. What?! Never seen him before. And glad. I am not convinced Jamie will get through tonight - expecting Shaun or Flawless to win it, Jamie may well make third but with Amanda not a fan I'm hoping he won't get through..

Loved his first album.. this has leaked kinda early, huh? Not even heard Be The One yet! Love Tonight's Today though

Nick made a good point that the team could have said to the guy 'Listen, in the name of the books, give us full price, and we'll give you 200 back from the sales of our birthpools. Then they'd have won'

Hang ON a minute, I don't think Kris said 'Adam deserves it.. I'm sorry' in the context the blog made out. He said sorry to being speechless and said Adam deserves it because he felt they both did and because he's humble. There's another reason Adam lost. At times, he along with Gokey came across as quite arrogant (not just my opinion, I've read it internet wide) - and I for one don't want to buy music of someone I don't even like as a person. People DO have to likeable, that's part of human life. I think this sexuality argument is beyond ridiculous and beyond boring. It makes me laugh that people think rounds 1 to semi final were voted based on talent, and then the final on sexuality.

lol no worries friend!

Yeah sorry I should have made it clear, I meant she was favourite to win on the night of the final :) Agree with all else you said!

Sometimes the obvious winner does take it though.. Alexandra here in the UK for example. It's good to have a mix so there doesn't become a formula. Mind you, you get 'Oh god, such a boring winner - OBVIOUS' or 'Oh my god I can't believe he didn't win, people must have asssumed he would and didn't vote' - so they can't win. Everyone always has an excuse

I don't think VV should worry about that lol, we all know she's a strong woman, I bet she relates to Debra! Totally agree with those who said Ben talked himself into it. I don't think he was going to get fired before the three of them went back in, but I think James and Debra actually gave a really good account for why they should stay and stuck up for themselves. As Sir Alan noted, Ben was just saying words with no facts or substance. It was embarassing - and he should have gone weeks ago. I'm baffled as to what they DID see in him, I saw more in Rocky! I said two weeks ago I thought Mona, James and Lorraine would be the three to go before interview. Mona was correct, and I think Lorraine will go next week I'm afraid. My ideal final would be Lorraine vs Kate, two very different sides of the coin. I think it'll be Kate vs Howard or Yasmina though.. I would prefer James in the final though, he's kind, hilarious AND shows signs on being a good businessman.
