Whoa - do you really want him to think he's Jesus? 'Cos you sure as hell did a good job of crucifying him there! Ummm...what happened to innocent until proven guilty...?

Questions over her lip-synching? There are no questions; in the entertainment news on Radio 1 today they said that she lip-synched every track last night with the exception of "Sometimes". Then they had a few of her fans saying things like "I don't care, I love her anyway" and "when you're dancing like that it's impossible to sing." I don't hate the music that she's released, in fact some of it has been pretty good, but thank gawd I don't pay much attention to the artists themselves - just the music. Aside from that, if I'm going to a gig, Britney would be one of the last acts I'd choose to see.

I guessed so, and I agree with that. Most of the Nine Lives album from 1997 was really good - it seemed to be after that that they lost it somewhat.

Ditto!

I heard it on Kiss the other day and was surprised to find myself liking it...I remember not particularly liking it first time around.

I wonder what Aerosmith tracks he was referring to and whether he was referring to the music, the lyrics or the whole package? I also wonder when he thinks it all went down the pan - I thought they still producing quality material until the mid to late 90's.

Either Susan or Diversity, I'd be happy if either of those two won...anyone else and I'm gonna be ranting at the TV when the result is announced!

Diversity were one of my favourites from the start and that performance completely vindicated it - that was outstanding!

You have some problems with the audio where you are? :P It was an amazing, flawless performance and it once again showed what an incredibly STRONG voice she has and great voice control too.

I agree with Simon, and I can't believe how anyone can say that he's better than George Sampson - there's no comparison, George was/is MUCH better.

Pretty much what I thought.

1 (1) Madness - House Of Fun 2 (2) Adam Ant - Goody Two Shoes...it's ok, but at the time I hated it, mostly because my sister was obsessed with Adam Ant/Adam & The Ants 4 (3) Yazoo - Only You 5 (6) ABC - The Look Of Love 8 (12) Duran Duran - Hungry Like The Wolf 9 (7) PhD - I Won't Let You Down 11 (8) Patrice Rushen - Forget Me Nots :) 12 (14) Blondie - Island Of Lost Souls :) 15 (30) Charlene - I've Never Been To Me :) 16 (10) Joan Jett & The Blackhearts - I Love Rock N Roll :wub: 24 (35) Kid Creole & The Coconuts - I'm A Wonderful Thing Baby :) 30 (22) Simple Minds - Promised You A Miracle :)

Ah - but think of the two years' extra profit Simon Cowell could lose out on! ;)

Oh, I have no doubt of that and tonight's fiasco has only instilled that hatred more. As for "if they're good enough at 14, they'll still be good at 16" - whilst that's not strictly true...(they won't necessarily be as good at 16)...a lot of the parents of these child prodigies think that their kids ARE good enough now...(almost certainly not through their own greed), but in a sadly misplaced belief that the "rest of the world" will agree instantaneously and presumably because they think that their children will be able to perform "perfectly" under any circumstances.

As with most of this album, the track grew on me pretty quickly, but I'm already getting bored with it :(
