What a fix - how can you call it fair when the lines opened before Clare even had a chance to do the Bolero, giving more time for people to vote Kyran - Clare should have won, she was much better on the night and more consistant throughout the series!

None of the final 12 are any good - they're all cabaret average singers, other than Sanjay who's a complete idiot and just can't sing

hmmm, I see your point - hadn't really checked - oops!!

First off I should say I hope it's ok with Jester (and everyone else) for me to do this! I've been a member for a while but not posted/started anything like this before What you do is very simple, post your top 10 most liked songs here, your number 1 will get 10 points all the way down to your number 10 getting 1 point, bit like the hate chart - only the opposite!! The songs have to be from the current top 75 or any song that is still in the most liked chart - I need to think of another name for it so any ideas would be great. My top 10 then are 1 Mika - Grace Kelly 2 Take That - Patience 3 Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars 4 Amy Winehouse - Rehab 5 Scissor Sisters - I Don't Feel Like Dancing 6 Razorlight - America 7 Take That - Shine 8 Kaiser Chiefs - Ruby 9 Leona - A Moment Like This (Sorry!!) 10 Just Jack - Starz In Their Eyes Can this be pinned please

1 Akon ft. Eminem - Smack That 2 2Pac ft. Ashanti & TI - Pac's Life 3 Justin Timberlake - What goes Around Comes Around 4 Fergie - Glamourous 5 Akon ft. Snoop Dogg - I Wanna Love You Bleugh to all of those songs - and trust me, there are others I could say the same to!!!!!

Claire should win - she's got the most talent by a mile

I think if a song has been in the chart before and comes in again, like Sweet Home Alabama it should be classed as a re-entry as should Jackson 5 I Want You Back, it's been in the chart before so the song is not new, it's an old song back in the chart hence a re-entry

How about a Top 137!!! seriously - make it an official top 100, but publish a top 200 for people to see!

New chart rules are great - shows what people are buying, key examples being Jay Z/Linkin Park back in top 75, also Lynrd Skynrd Sweet Home Alabama and perhaps Billie next week with Honey To The Bee, all would be NCQ before, now though.... all in! I used to get chartplus newsletter every week but no longer do, what surprises are there outside top 75 now, I take it a lot of old classics are making the chart again.

and this is good why???
