People forget that USA gave Brazil a much tougher game than we did in the Confederations Cup which they probably should have won! I'll do my predictions when I have time later.

1. Jessica Ennis - The face of London 2012! I remember watching her win and she'd deserve this honour. 2. Ryan Giggs - At the age of 36 he's STILL one of the best players in the Premier League. Whenever he's called upon he always makes a HUGE difference and he plays in the big games when he's needed i.e. Enough to earn him a deserved 11th Premier League title medal :D Ten times the player Defoe will ever be and he'll be playing for at least another two years. 3. Jenson Button - I always believed he'd win the World Championship someday and he delivered, could have done it more convincingly however.

Pessimism was right then! :lol:

PI 1: Darius (3rd) PI 2: Roxanne XF 1: Tabby (3rd) XF 2: Shayne Ward (1st) XF 3: Eton Road :lol: XF 4: Rhydian (2nd) XF 5: Diana Vickers (4th) and JLS (2nd) XF 6: John & Edward (6th)

MUCH better than her last song and I like the video too! Still not a patch on any GA stuff and she's still a twat :P

Would he have really gotten in over Kenwyne Jones every week though? And if not over him would a partnership with him actually work?

Well name someone who can come in and do better then?

Well that's Fergie everyone knew he'd turn it around :P Anyway anyone who knows anything about football knows that Rafa shouldn't be sacked! Infact if I was the yanks I'd give him the £20 million they'd use to sack him to spend on transfers instead :lol: I have no complaints about tonight, all we need to do is draw the last game to win the group and if we lose 1-0 we should still go through top! Hopefully we don't rest too many of the the big guns like Fletcher, Rooney, Vidic and Giggs on Saturday as much as that is another that we 'should win'.

Liverpool are OUT so let me be the first to say: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Pop is short for POPULAR music! Why do most people on here think that pop music constitutes only female artists and boybands? What number did both the Radiohead albums get to on this list? Oh yeah number one! Therefore they can be considered to be a pop band despite their rather uncommercial sound nowadays! The Beatles have never been labelled 'indie' because they had guitars so why should mainstream rock bands with guitars on major labels be? (Yes I know Radiohead are no longer on a major label but that's not the point) I'm suprised Is This It? isn't #1 tbh, it probably will be at least top three on most lists like these!

I think the show has lost five million viewers now! Seriously why would anyone want watch this now? It's an entertainment show, not a talent show and anyone who takes it seriously and thinks anyone of these contestants would do anything without the X Factor then I lol at you tbh :lol: They're so crap this year :( Then again if I had to choose someone now then Danyl ftw I suppose!

WTF? Surely the government (and the tax payer) should step in and just 'Oi what do you think you're doing? We OWN you!' I had a student account with Natwest and got a £1250 overdraft (interest free) and a free railcard for five years and I didn't get to the limit until AFTER I HAD FINISHED in which I upgraded to a 'Graduate account' and got £2000 overdraft interest free for one year. That's now -£1400 with interest (around £20 a month) but by the new year it should be at -£1000 so I don't get any interest and I can concentrate on getting it to 0. Also I work voluntarily for a Money Advice service and this is not the worst thing I've seen.. One of the advisers I work for was laughing the other day when a client was offered credit cards and loans after they'd already gone bankrupt! :lol: And there's many more worse than that! EDIT: Then again Student Loans Company have f*cked everything up this year and 1/3 haven't got their money yet!

Just been played on Radio 1 now! I still thought it'd be higher though.

As a HUGE fan of the series I think this is a very bad move as I'm not a fan of this song and it's very un-Final Fantasy! :( I hope this means they're not 'westernizing' it too much.

Hello everyone, I don't Leona like that much :) *runs away before he can be attacked*

Yep, he's gonna be 'a flop' despite selling WAY more than Rudebox :rolleyes: Then again with Leona looking like she might not do as well maybe he'll climb up in the lead up to christmas! And maybe the fact that this will become the greatest and most ironic album title in history might work in his favour! Reality Killed The Video Star? Well being kept #1 in the singles and albums by X Factor acts make it look like that's the truth!

1 JLS 149.4k 2 Robbie Williams 146.2k :cry: :angry: I'm gonna get it tomorrow rather than wait until christmas now! :lol: Maybe the rumours with tomorrow might help :kink:

Don't you mean NEXT Friday Norma :P Your favourite is on tonight instead :lol:

I think some people are missing the point here with looking at the songs that were #2 personally, the main thing that the X Factor has ruined is that many artists aren't even ATTEMPTING to release songs at christmas now because they know that the public will eat the giant spoon and buy the winner's song and make the chart very boring! Even when the song that gets to the top hasn't been that good the battle was usually at least very interesting! I remember how excited I was when it was getting to the top 2 for Bob The Builder and Westlife were competing :lol: Now it's just the X Factor song going to #1 and the rest of the top ten being songs that have been around for weeks. :( So unless the great prospect of John & Edward winning happens it'll be the same thing once again!

Read the article ;) Lips: Number One Hits (singing game) DJ Hero and the Sky player are what they're promoting. I said COD because their traditional audience will be pre-occupied with that but this is for the new audience who they've been reaching out to for the past couple of years too.

Microsoft is preparing to take over an entire ad break in the X Factor next month as part of its biggest advertising push for its Xbox 360 console. The PC giant will use the slot to promote its recent deal with BSkyB and the launch of the Lips Number Ones and DJ Hero video games. Microsoft's UK Xbox marketing director Stephen McGill says: "We believe that the X Factor provides us with the perfect opportunity to communicate directly with our target audience and is the ideal time to educate them about the new games and services on the Xbox console. "By taking up the entire ad break, we can really help to capture the imagination of both potential and existing Xbox users." The ads are expected to run during the live X Factor show on 14 November, in a deal brokered by media agency Universal McCann. It will be the first time Xbox has used an entire TV commercial spot to promote its services. McGill says the ads aim to "celebrate the innovation which our latest releases focus on". On Tuesday, Microsoft launched its tie-up with Sky Player, Sky's online TV service, on the Xbox LIVE service and Windows 7. And last week, Microsoft launched a global marketing campaign to promote the release of its Windows 7 operating system. The television, outdoor and digital activity highlights how the operating system was developed with the help of users and is designed to simplify people's lives Sources: http://www.vgchartz.com/forum/thread.php?id=90737 http://www.istockanalyst.com/article/viewi...ticleid/3589761 This is BIG :o This will do wonders to attract a new audience (i.e. try and get some of the Wii audience as well as their traditonal audience) the sky player has been in demand so much already they had to pull it down, tweak and re-launch it to cope with the demand! Considering a few days before that the biggest game of the year in Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 launches (a game that looks set to break sales records and a game that traditionally sells around 70% of it's total on Xbox) this could be a big week for the Xbox! How big of an impact do you think it will have? Do you think it'll help increase the Xbox 360's lead over the PS3 in the UK by much? Do you think this will sway you into buying an Xbox?

:angry: :angry: :angry: *sigh* Liverpool deserved to win that and that's something I didn't expect to say AT ALL! Ffs the LAST person Rio and Nemanja should give leave such a big space to run into between them is Fernando bloody Torres! (and also that was a perfect pass tbh) and if that wasn't bad enough Nemanja unnecessarily pulls Kuyt over and gets sent off AGAIN :wacko: (I wonder what odds you could have got for that happening?) I have no idea where Rio was when Pat and O'Shea coudln't handle the attack for the second goal either. <_< As always these days we looked a bit shaky without Fletch. Anyway well done to Liverpool, a great result but some of your players can be unreliable like Mascherano for example, great player but he always stupid things like that tackle on Van Der Sar! And the likes of Lucas and NGog aren't quite the finished products hence why they get so much stick sometimes. The only thing I can complain about Liverpool is that Carragher should have been sent off! -_-

Apparently Gordon Strachan might be appointed within a couple of days!

Is it just me who thinks Cheryl being #1 is a travesty considering Girls Aloud has so many songs that were a million times better than this? :(
