Lift Me Up

And someone pinched it for Alicia forum too (as Jonjo put it.......... Blates bandwagonning !! ........ but he did acknowledge you as the originator) cheers Steve. its a useful site but you have to watch the figures as they do not always spot and add up figures for the same song called by a slightly different name. they end up with duplicate entries (or more) which means totals are wrong and thus a songs position is artificially lower than it should be.

Wrists suitably slapped. :kink: Not that I could be bothered to add them all up....... I'm leaving that boring job to you !! I was just speculating/guess-timating Anyway, I predict the winner will be mega-babe , hee hee ........ oops there I go again !! :P Or did I ?

Don't think anyone will be surprised when the figures are added up and wins. looking at how consistently a couple of ladies are scoring, the close competition looks likely to for second and 3rd spot. I think a lot of people may be surprised by these places. Maybe expecting or ? could be both of them or neither of them, or maybe or Could be either. But keep a look out for 2 other superstar Divas who have both been quite busy in the news recently !! They may figure higher up than expected by many !! looking forward to the results on sunday. Or will they be later in the week due to time it will take to add up all the scores ?

it may have been hard but I bet you started off real quick for an easy choice at number 1 !! Sorry to say she had to be number 2 on my list cos I couldn't have my fav 2 divas joint top :( oh. I just noticed your bitch slap is same as mine. didn't think anyone else would dare dis the GaGa in here !!

That's a very useful article, thanks Regina. It has the following line in it 'Last month Keys confirmed on Good Morning America that she is five months pregnant and due in November.' so that answers my original question but you don't get the December Alicia baby ...... unless she is very very late !!

1 Christina Aguilera (The Best !) 2 Shakira (Should be equal top with christina but the rules don't allow that !) 3 Alicia Keys 4 Beyonce 5 Leona lewis 6 Rihanna 7 Kelly Clarkson 8 Gabriella Cilmi 9 Fergie 10 Diana Vickers 11 Dido 12 lily Allen 13 Nelly Furtado 14 pixie lott 15 Pink 16 Sophi Ellis-Bexter 17 Taylor Swift 18 natalie imbruglia 19 madonna 20 Britney 21 jennifer Hudson 22 Debbie Harry 23 Dannii Minogue 24 Kylie Minogue 25 Anastasia Bitch Slap for Lady GaGa (for looking like Freddie Mercury in a blonde wig ! :P )

Nice to see no-one has nominated either of the 2 Alicia songs this time so they'll drop completely out this chart where she doesn't deserve to be !!. But of course now that I've mention it someone (or lots of people) will add her to their lists, maybe even edit what they've already entered. Best not, or I'll be round playing ESoM full blast on the car sound system outside their house :P

Yeah thats common to wait about 12 weeks. If so then I guess she's due during December..... she could have a Christmas baby :) anyone seen or read anymore about 'little bump' Keys?

Thats a shame. She has a really good voice and needs songs where she can show that off. Like Duffy, Christina, Leona etc Or of course some really powerful R&B like Alicia. (I still haven't decided who has the better voice Alicia or Christina...... both are brilliant)

Oh, any Shakira affect following world Cup performance ?

Little dreamer is not on my copy :( UK deluxe edition. It has the five extra tracks on the second cd but not one called Little Dreamer. Puzzled ??

Awesome singer. like Alicia she has lovely tone to her voice. Especially love the bits where her accent comes through :) Not heard of her before over here in England. I'll have to look her up and listen to some more so thanks for posting.

Put it in a love song really needs to be released, at leaset in the UK anyway. Such a fun, catchy and uplifting song. Just think it would suit this time of year with the sun shining and loads of people in holiday mood. Shame if they don't release it :(

Was at her Wembley (London) Oral Fixation show a few years back. Brilliant. quite a lot of spanish songs in the set but then I think the audience was at least half spanish speaking too !! Recommend the DVD to you, give you a good idea of her stage presence and performance on a full set-list. Would loved to have seen ToTM too but have to make do with the DVD :(

I am Birds of prey (think that will take off better in the clubs etc than NMT did) Sex for Breakfast or Vanity....... but only so we can see if ANY radio station played them !!

might have to add some more songs from Bionic. It keeps getter better (no pun intended !!) the more I listen to it. Birds of prey so needs to be released as a single.... *flicks over to correct thread to discus singles from Bionic*

Waiting for put it in a love song to be released in UK. Think it could be huge. But then I thought Shakira's Waka Waka would be big so what do I know !!??

Voice Within ...... not just my fave Christina song but my fave song ever Hurt Lift me up Beautiful Candyman Fighter Loving Me 4 Me Cruz Soar Sex for Breakfast Birds of Prey I Am You lost me I know thats 13 but needed to get some of the songs from Bionic in there. Especially Sex for Breakfast.

Her official website suggests YLM to be new single. Under the World News section there is an entry for June 18th about her recent run of live performances of it around the US.

Looks like EoF era will definitely be her most successful in UK. A couple more weeks and ESoM will catch up with the chart run of No One !! Wow, didn't expect that !!

Live. The clarity, power and emotion of it is awesome. Studio version is nice too but in a different way, fresher, less dramatic, more vibrabant

Except Waka Waka surely. fun, 'ESC-style meets african rhythm' piece of catchy dance-pop. In the words of Wyclef.......... "Go Shaki, Go Shaki"

Brilliant choice of song by Fifa (or whoever). A song that seems to cross boundaries, a potentially truly international hit.Love it. shooting up itunes :)

The Concert was last night. Opening ceremony is on at 1pm today. These are not the same things, though Shakira will be at the opening singing Waka Waka. Pleased to see so much love for Shakira in here :wub: She stole the show last night, though Alicia was her usual brilliant self too.
