Jim.

There you go. ;)

Absolutely incredible album! :o I think it's more accessible than their past work, but that's not a bad thing by any means. 'My Girls' has gotta be my favourite.

64. :o I missed 3 from League 1, and 5 from League 2. Not bad!

100| Girls Aloud - The Promise 090| Kings of Leon - Sex on Fire 080| Coldplay - Viva La Vida 070| Madonna - 4 Minutes 060| Duffy - Mercy 050| Beyonce - If I Were a Boy 040| Rihanna - Take a Bow 030| The Ting Tings - That's Not My Name 020| Alexandra Burke - Hallelujah 010| Take That - Greatest Day -10| Basshunter - Now You're Gone What an awful year for #1s :mellow: I would say I only 'like' the first 5, with Beyonce and Rihanna just being 'okay'. I don't like any of the rest really :/

Excellent performance of 'Something Kinda Ooooh' :wub:

What I would like: 01| Womanizer 02| Circus 03| Unusual You 04| If U Seek Amy What I think it will be: 01| Womanizer 02| Circus 03| Out From Under 04| Kill The Lights Too bad Phonography/Amnesia won't be singles :(

Another GHASTLY cover. Unfortunately it looks like all of the releases from the era will be following this eyesore of a 'theme'. 'The Loving Kind' was always going to be the second single, what with all the hype surrounding it ahead of the album release. It's not my favourite on the album by any means but I do like it, and it should be a further chart success for the girls.

I'm appalled yet unsurprised by the British public.

I never expected her to sing live, so I'm not disappointed in that respect [although she didn't do a very convincing job of miming it!]. I loved the little break-down section :)

Whoa. Based on the 5 performances, I'd actually place Eoghan 3rd tonight :mellow: [above Diana and JLS]

My thoughts exactly :D Ruth managed to conjure up a superb performance with a very mediocre song.

How lucky - I just clicked on it as she starts :lol: She looks great tonight, better than yesterday IMO.

Whoa, excellent performance by Rachel there! Hopefully she stays in...

YES! So happy for Ruth. :D I'm not too fussed with the outcome tonight now. UGHUGH at Eggnog going through but he's gonna win.

What unconvincing miming :lol:

I haven't heard the studio recording of this song, but they're miming, right?

I saw the video on The Box this morning?

Quicksand is excellent! Another bonus track that is better than most of the main album :/

01| Neon Neon - I Lust U [5 points] 02| Frankmusik - In Step 03| Bloc Party - Talons 04| The Ting Tings - Shut Up And Let Me Go 05| Goldfrapp - A&E

The beat to 'Mmm Papi' reminds me of a Crash Bandicoot game.

Amnesia and Phonography are great! :o Why on earth are they bonus tracks?!

'Unusual You' really is excellent; one of the best songs on the album, for sure. 'If U Seek Amy' has grown on me a bit now [i know I voiced my disappointment earlier], although it's still not as sexually fun/charged as I would've thought :/ 'Circus' is pretty good, but the chorus isn't especially memorable. The random noises in the last couple of choruses are a little irritating to. However, the track is rescued by a great bridge, and there's a short 'break-down' segment which we will no doubt see Britney pull off a routine to in the video. 'Mannequin' is a total mess...no melody, WAYWAYWAY overproduced [even for Britney's standards], and completely forgettable. BAH. 'Shattered Glass' is alright but it lacks substance for me; the backing track doesn't have a lot to it. The pronunciation of glass annoys me too LOL I absolutely love 'Kill The Lights' [though I hope it remains an album track] - we've all heard it before so no explaining necessary. ;o I'll do a full rate later. :D

If U Seek Amy is a little disappointing, I must say. Don't get me wrong, it's still a good song, but after hearing the clip I was expecting a bit more.
