Lift Me Up

Official World cup song: (edit: oops just read Bray's next message. maybe I is wrong. I thought it was official but hey........ ) Waka Waka - Shakira featuring an African groups who's name escapes me.... something like 'freshlyground' :D But it won't be a summer hit. my vote goes for 'Put it in a love song' Alicia and Bey (if her label pull their finger out and release it !)

She's apparently just confirmed/announced it today. Don't know how far she is. From eonline: Alicia Keys Baby News! Thu., May. 27, 2010 8:00 PM PDT by Marc Malkin Bryan Bedder/Getty Images Alicia Keys is in a baby state of mind. After much speculation, the Grammy-winning songbird's rep confirms she is pregnant with her and producer Swizz Beatz's first child. And that's not all… The couple is also engaged to be married later this year. This is the first child for 29-year-old Keys. Swizz Beatz, 31, has two sons from previous relationships. Keys' current four-month-long Freedom Tour wraps up on June 4. She'll also perform at the Fifa World Cup's kickoff concert on June 10 in South Africa.

Congrats to Alicia :heart: Anyone wanna guess what he or she might be called ?

^ Is that her female version of the expression "I'm the Daddy !" ??

no announcement that I saw. Only superstar to announce or confirm pregnancy I know of is Alicia Keys :D

This is what she does best. :wub:

#1. It's Kylie. She could sing the alphabet backwards to the tune of God Save The Queen and it would get to number 1 :P Edit: And that would still be better than some of the urban clogging up the top 10

will someone please post a link or PM me the link ? I tried searching but so far I've only found the snippets :(

The live (and broken down, with Linda Perry on Piano (of Hurt fame)) version is on the Hope for Haiti (or was it Help for Haiti) album. If you like the studio version you really should download the live one. It is awesome. just one of those moments..... like when she did Oh Mother on her Back to Basics tour. (just my humble opinion of course !)

Oops !! I didn't spot TEoF leap frogging PC last week. i was daft enough to assume that as PC had been moving up (20)and TEoF moving slowly down (at 21) that when first of the MW reports came out with Alicia at 10, with nothing to identify which album, it was PC. :blush:

Lots of reasons there why I NEVER listen to R1 anymore and haven't for years (never convinced they weren't racist when they refused to play Shakira 4 years ago so to hear they may still be airing maybe racist attitudes sickens me)

Too much Urban staying too long in top 10 ? Could it be the iTunes affect ? 12 to 20 year olds hitting iTunes and just downloading the top 10 once a month or even every week. Just makes sure they have all the latest most popular tunes on their iPhones/iTouches, keep up with their mates. Was surprised when i heard this from one such 20yr old !! Just a thought ?

just watched the friday/saturday morning show on catch-up telly. loved TSWaBH. I love that she changes things around a bit, uses artistic license. she just such a natural. agree with you Jonjo, hope it boosts her up the album chart. Also saw on the 'Over the Rainbow search for Dorothy' final that the 'Dorothy's' who already eliminated did there version of Empire state of mind. They sang it pretty well, shame the piano wasn't anywhere need Alicia's standard though !! Wonder if this will push up ESoM sales too ?

Up to #10 in Friday's update. I wondered but didn't really believe it could get there but I'm so glad I've been proved wrong (only in my head though !!) :cheer:

i watched this Tuesday night and no TSWaBH :( maybe Friday's show is longer ?

me neither. What's wrong with her comment ? After all didn't GaGa win 'best newcomer' at recent MTV awards (or whichever awards were recently !!) And to say she is fun to look at is hardly offensive....... pretty much a compliment. What's the arguement all about ?

^ I agree with you and can't wait to hear all the tracks in full. Judging from short snippets is never the best. Also can't wait to see (and hear) burlesque..... I love the 'old Christina' (Stripped and B2B) :wub:

listening to all the clips I think I'm only gonna really love half the album :-( But i'm buying it whatever. Stronger Than Ever sounds awesome (Fighter meets Voice Within style) but then there's I Hate Boys which sounds very like some people may make Alex Burke comparisons which on top of the GaGa comparisons with NMT could sadly give the haters further ammunition. Favourites based on the short snippets: (could change once full tracks available and after a few listens) Stronger than ever Birds of prey Lift me up (AKA Hurt part II :) ) You lost me I am All I need

To be educated you definitely need to get Stripped. Most fans are agreed that this album is what 'defined' who she was/is. but of course she has re-invented herself at least twice since but still Stripped is her stand out album. Buy it!! And while you're at it get Back to Basics too......... and for Christmas go buy My Kinda Christmas...... Less than a month to wait now for Bionic :wub:

nice. thanks Jonjo. 1st viewing of un-Thinkable. Love it. She looks so good :wub:

I did wonder before if this collection could go top 10. looks like it's got a chance (but probably next week). mind you just to get top20 is brilliant :wub: Needs some promo :)

buy it. You won't be disappointed.

Thats not what I meant at all...... but I think you knew that !! :P but anyway she's probably something like a UK 8 ? (think thats a US 2 or 4 ?) She may get to #1 next week but she'll still be a 10 in my eyes :heart:

^Christina is more a 10 :wub: .......... Oh, sorry you were talking chart position :D
