  1. This season is going to be a trifecta of amazingness between Sarah, Angela and Kathy isn't it? I'm here for this 100%.

    Nothing other than a couple of radio interviews. She's back in the US now so I don't imagine there's any promo lined up here.

    I think it's too close to call. She's looking at 15-20 at the moment but if her sales fall away any faster she'll fall short.
  4. I thought Ginger was easily one of the 3 most entertaining in the main challenge so it's a mystery that her and Katya ended up in the bottom. Roxxy should have been there, no doubt. Roxxy just isn't doing anything for me at all, same with Detox. This is still Alaska's to lose in my eyes.

    So I don't know how this compares to new releases from other artists, but Gaga has racked up 529k streams on Spotify so far today (obviously worldwide). Given that it's technically still morning in the US that number could improve quite a bit. Pity there's no way to know how many are from the UK, but that number's pretty decent, no? We had no way of knowing how she was going to do on streaming, but this seems hopeful.

    I love it because it's not quite perfect. It's right on the verge, where the track and the vocals sound like they're very possibly in different keys. But it's immense and epic and she can do whatever she likes and it tells you right there that this song is about to go IN.
  7. Mess. God forbid an artist would want to market and promote their material. Does that logic apply to everyone who has banners on the streaming/download sites, i.e every major artist IN THE WORLD?
  8. Absolutely living for this season so far. There's something about Alaska though - she just has it. She's such a commanding presence that it's almost like she's the pro teaching the amateurs. Her look for judging this week was KILLER. Katya is also fantastic though. Amazingly funny and so creative.
  9. See, I feel differently. These movies are so character driven that the relationships between them are just as important as any of the action sequences. They're the beating heart of the movies. The performances and the connection between the actors and the characters are much of what made the movies so fantastic for me. There are a hundred other throwaway action movies to watch if you're not fussed for real character development but I never got the impression they set out to make these movies all about the action. Even in the documentaries on the blu-rays, they talk so passionately about the cast and how well written the original characters were. I'd agree that Mockngjay Part 1 was the slowest moving movie of the 4, but it's still a gorgeous piece of moviemaking. I get completely taken away by the performances that I don't feel like I miss big action scenes in that movie. Part 2, on the other hand, was full on and intense. There were some amazing sequences in there, visually and emotionally. Overall, the first 2 are still my favourites (Catching Fire is a masterpiece) but there's really not much separating them all for me.
  10. I feel like we watched different movies. No activity? There were some great action sequences in there? Not sure I understand why actors looking at each other is a bad thing :blink: .

    Yes, the amazing Flatline - The Supremes?

    It's 30 seconds of her demo for Shine A Little Light, the song she co-wrote and submitted to be the UK's Eurovision entry this year: https://twitter.com/chasethathigh/status/758060726963625984 It's nice. I really liked the song.

    I know! Next week looks intense.

    Wait no more. Renewed for a 12 episode fifth season to premiere in 2017.
  15. Can see Adele dominating iTunes fairly soon. What a fantastic set. She's a natural headliner. The crowd were eating out of the palm of her hand. I'm almost completely over the song, just because it was played to death, but Someone Like You was absolutely iconic and the perfect closer. She's already 1, 10 and 13 on the albums chart with 25, 21 and 19 respectively. I'd expect Send My Love to get to number 2 fairly soon.
  16. Surprised but pleased that Adele is doing so well with this song. I didn't expect this to much more than than top 20 for a couple of weeks, but it's setting up for a healthy top 10 place now.
  17. They're getting everything so right with this. I'm really happy with everything I've seen so far. Can't wait!!
  18. Well done Jonjo! I'm happy with 2nd. I'm so annoyed with myself though. I completely missed the part about guessing your top 5 musicals. I reckon I could have tied for the win if I'd done that! What a fool! Enjoyed this quiz though, thanks!
  19. If you're in the market for slight spoilers, this video has a very cool shot of the T-Rex zord in action (it looks AMAZING), the Megazord, and Alpha, Zordon and the command centre, all of which look very, very different...

    Yeah I'd say you were right on both counts. The Jungle Book looks like it'll come frustratingly close. It pulled in over $8 million internationally last weekend, but that'll drop fairly quickly now. It doesn't have enough steam left in it to pull in another $80 million. Captain America has faded much quicker and would also need around $80 million to go top 10. However, it's international takings have dropped nearly 65% on each of the last two weekends and it's now only pulling in $500k so it's pretty much done. It might bring in another $5 million in total if it's lucky.
  21. Not too sure where you're getting those numbers from. Drake and Stone Roses were on around 16k on Monday's update, but that didn't include Saturday and Sunday streaming figures, which obviously accounts for a few thousand sales for Drake. On the next update Stone Roses had dipped to number 9 but no sales were given. They were obviously very frontloaded though, and only sold another 6k for the rest of the week, which makes sense if you look at how rapidly it dropped on iTunes.
  22. I've guessed 16 of them. Reckon I'll kick myself at the other 4.
  23. Deleted post. I'll edit in scores later.

    First episode of season 2 was pretty meh. Can't see me sticking with this.

    Yep! Episode 3 was fantastic too. That shower scene was brutal.
