Lift Me Up

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 ?

Alicia #10 with her platinum collection album. Well done girl. :cheer: She really is reaping the rewards now after what ? 10 years ?

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:

Random reply. Heard it first time this morning. nothing to dislike about it, being Kylie come-back song I'm guessing it'll make #1. The style reminded me of late 70's early 80's Giorgio Moroder songs for the like of Donna Summer and Debbie Harry. might just be me though ? i know....... :offtopic:

Forgive my ignorance. what happened with Battlefield ?

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

Wow. 2 of the best vocalists in the world together !! I wish I could be there, for ALL the shows. I never tire of listening to Christina singing live. It's like a drug. I guess by the time Christina comes to the UK Leona won't be supporting anymore as she's doing her own solo tour now. :(

singles - other (Christina NMT) but it won't happen. Maybe next week :) Albums - Diana

Well said Bert. So pleased Christina's getting so much love on this thread. Awesome talent. Beyond comparison to most current pop artists. her live rendition of Etta James's At Last is worth watching/listening to over and over. Also worth checking out her live version of James Brown's Man's World from the Grammy awards 2007 show. Critically acclaimed as one of the best all time live performances on the show. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hYi4bxaMbs :offtopic: sorry, straying off topic but you guys are all into genuine good music so hope you'll excuse me :blush:

Cheryl seems to be regarded as a goddess and above bashing by most on BJ so they probably didn't want to believe someone would dare have a dig at her. You're a braver man than I.......... :P

Wrong thread ?? :unsure:

Try not to be too hasty. 1 song does not an album make. I'm not a particular fan of the 'dance style electro pop' music (Britney, GaGa etc) but I'll reserve judgement on Christina until I've heard the album. If there is much more electropop on it then I'll be making part of your comment myself....... "I used to like her"

up in the top 30 album midweeks :cheer:

hee hee. like this subtle double-bash. Or is it a triple bash with X-Factor also a target ? (Except I quite like X Factor :( !!) also agree with last couple of posts about The over-hyped (mainly on iTunes and chart threads) Burke

Rule 11. ..... In case rule 10 gets broken, make sure you have a poop scoop handy :naughty:

I'd say top 10 within next couple of days. Could eventually peak inside top 5. Depends on publicity. think it'll sell big over weekend (club effect ?)
