Totally, I think that you will only break my heart would have done really well in europe!

I'V been busy too, but this is one of the few forums i always read when i come on here, even if i'm not posting. It'd be good to still have the forum when the new album gets out as, it's the easiest way to find out info without having to read through billions of posts on her official website.

Gordita sounded amazing at glasto, it was so much harder and heavy metal sounding... the album version sounds bland! I was excited about a HQ version of this song too!

I can see her re-recording anything planned to be released after Loca in English too, as she knows that she has markets to please that won't accept a spanish song with open arms.. or at least the UK (If Loca gets to number one)

So this has been a big debate this year over whether Konnie was right for the Job, so now as the contest is fully underway, it's a good time to decide. When I found out that Konnie would be the new presenter I was shocked but also quite happy as I remembered her as being great on Blue Peter... how wrong I was! I still like her but I don't know if it is through the stress/nerves of fronting a high profile show or if she is just crap, but she isn't working. I think she is great when reading the autocue/presenting but she is terrible when trying to interview the judges/guests/contestants, she is too wooden and has yet to show any personality whatsoever, other than when she occasionally forgets herself and uses the word babe ha She has just married a comedian so there must be an amazing personality that Simon saw in her but she surely isn't bringing it out when presenting! I also think this has something to do with her just not being interested, I wouldn't be surprised if she has never watched the show before and just sees it as pop culture rubbish and would much rather present something more serious, and thus, sees it as her stepping stone to a future career? I think this because she is never excited when speaking about the show to guests or even to the judges/celebs and generally doesn't seem to know anything about the show/celebs other than what she is reading off a card? On a further note, will they please get Konnie a stylist or sack her stylist. That pink dress (vom) and last week’s when she interviewed Usher was so tight and short (as well as looking like tin foil) you could almost see her knickers! Up her Budget Cowell! How did she blag this job?! So is she right for the show? If not who should they get to replace her? I’ve not really thought in to who It should have been to replace Holly or who I would like to see replace Konnie but off the top of my head, if Simon wanted to give a children’s presenter a break, shouldn’t it have been Angellica Bell? I remember her oozing personality, and the public would easily warm up to and she is hilarious! As well as her needing a break about now!

I like this but the music channels just don't seem to be bothering with it yet they love inna...

Well those songs were terrible, so i'm glad it is higher than those! I love WDYLM video but the big headedness of her is annoying at times lol

Anybody watching this? She seems to have really lost her confidence! I hope she can out of this and then get a hit single, she deserves it!

Please, NO! I thought he wanted to get rid of the boring crap this year. I hat when they release group songs and the sunday miming group song is always pointless and too american idol cheesey.

OK, i give up! As with all Shakira albums, I wait, go out and buy then listen... but i'm really curious to hear this album! What is the link to the download?

I could have typed that myself!

and the winning city is... Düsseldorf! Id rather it have gone to Berlin, but quite an interesting choice... Thoughts? Source

But it would have been hard to make another song with the She Wolf sound without it sounding like she hasn't come up with any new ideas! I do agree that She Wolf was a masterpiece, it just annoys me that her albums and follow up singles are never all there... If Shakira is going to want to make an impact in the UK, she is going to have to fix this... good albums, but just that, she needs a 12 track 'able to be singles' album, which is cutting edge, and like nothing else out there... and i don't really agree with the comments above, i think Loca would sit perfectly on a shakira powerhouse album, it isn't a step backwards, it's an improvement of her work.

Also they said that you can buy their songs on ITUNES? But they aren't allowed to reveal how they are selling because it will wreck the show? Couldn't they just do that in the final like 4 weeks? because the show will change alot plus it means they won't have hits? Which makes it kind of pointless? I may be wrong on this, but it's just what i have read in to it?

I hate Katie, everything about her, weak singer, not naturally stylish, just a try hard. I like Cher but something tells me that she is a bit of a bitch, but i may be wrong. Diva Fever annoy the hell out of me and the whole staging concept and costumes were terrible, but the short hair boy can sing! They need to give them a proper shot, not gimmick before people vote them off. I love rebecca (she was my fav, but was a little boring) It shocked me how much i like Aiden and i even hated that song! He made me like it! Oh and Belle Ami do NOT deserve to be the next big girl band... p*** poor, i'll take the sugas/GA/Sats anyday. Tween boyband work well, nicolo is a big head but is hot and needs a proper shot, not a lady gaga song, Mary was great but would she sell? Trayc, we've seen it a billion times before, she's a lesser good Alexandra and the others are nothing special, including, Matt. FYD 3 = Absolute rubbish, think they are better than they are. Matt 4 = I don't get the hype? John 1 = Who? Rebecca 8 = She's great, but i want to see something more exciting. Storm 5 = Average, annoying... I like the red hair. Belle Ami 1 = Terrible. Cher 6 = She's alright, I'm not crazy about her yet, i still only see a cheryl tribute act. Diva Fever 7 = One great singer, need to here the other more, get rid of the camp gimmick and give them chance. Paige 5 = Yawn. Katie 0 = She can't sing. She's just a copycat and from what trayc said, she's an ar*ehole too. Mary 8 = Great but she won't sell. Nicolo 6 = He needs to get over himself and not sing a fast pop song as his accent will only make him sound like surovision. Tonight = Rubbish but there is something there. 1 Direction 5 = These will sell well. They will end up being great but the boy in the white top (not the one who had an amazing audition) seems too cocky. Wagner 2 = Terrible, but i get why he is there... Although louis could have put one of the more talented people through. Aiden 10 = I wasn't a fan, but his set, his arrangement, his voice, everything was perfect... His singing eyes look like he's about to jump out of the TV and kill me though. TrayC 7 = She was great but we've seen it all before... Plus she looked trashhhhhhy, seriously, this show needs better stylists.

I think the video should have been her going crazy around barcelong and none of the gold clothing dancing... that wrecks it, should have all looked hand held camera ish

I don't find Katy Brand funny, but the Sugababes came across very well... It made me remember how much i like Jade, she deserves the chance. Amelle is really funny and Heidi is a little more held back, maybe a little more media trained, but I do like her... i just hope that they wait anohter 6 months and come back with a HIT album! They should so get their own ITV show, it'd work SO well! I do miss Amelle's long curly hair and Heidi's short blonde hair though.. and speaking of hair, why can't Jade just always have her Eurovision hair, or just no fringe? ha

The video is very broing/cheap etc but Nadine does look hot, and i'm fed up of reading comments all over the net of people just slagging Nadine off, when she hasn't actually done anything?! The Cheryl love/protection is just too much! But the song is still great.. if it flops out of people hating her though what the papers say, i'll be so pissed off! It was number one on box breakers today though! If it doesn't go to number one it'll be classed as a flop. Also Cheryl's video is pretty cheap/$h!t looking?! Her eyes look great in it, but thats about it... very cacthy song but weak vocals. I want them both to do well, else it will tarnish GA's reputation and be too much about Cheryl when they relaunch.

Number one, it's great.

I love this song now! He sounds like a female vocalist for most of it... i think he'll find it very hard to sing live... best X factor lead single by far tho... and i didn't care for joe, he's still got a boring image/ doesnt seem like a popstar tho.

I think the whole 3 part thing is ridiculous, one single each album is a joke and the singles haven't been the best + a lack of promotion... maybe she should have just made one strong album, rather than confusing none die hard fans who just want one album!

That sounds nothing like Joe :o Will he be able to sing like that live?! I'v never heard the song before but that makes 2 covers for him *already*. I think i like the song, i just can't get use to him sounding like that... makes him a lot cooler sounding than the theatre sound he had going on.

ah I thought that because the languages were so close that more people would understand a spanish version than the english version, but i'm obviously wrong haha

They would do well in germany! It's stupid that they arent trying europe, they could get some easy hits! The sugas released in europe from thet start and it works! Arent the sats on the same label as GA? they aren;t very good at making acts international? Going international should be considered when things are patchy at home...

^I'm hoping europe bar spain and portugal get the english version!
