iTunes Weekly Thread: W/C 20th May 2012
Come on Paloma! I like Chasing The Sun and Dance Again, but Picking Up The Pieces is definitely the best song released this week.

This week was so much stronger than last week! I actually really enjoyed it again. And I honestly think Jessie is a fantastic coach. She really is the only one who gives some constructive criticism and you can see how passionate she is about the music. Glad to see Will gave some honest feedback as well this time. Looked like Aleks wasn't that happy with it though! 01. Vince Kidd 02. Bo Bruce 03. Becky Hill 04. Max Milner 05. Cassius Henry 06. David Julien 07. Toni Warne 08. Aleks Josh Both Vince and Bo were brilliant. And Max surprised me as I didn't really like him at first!

Downloads: Delilah - Mean To Me Delilah - Breathe Bright Light Bright Light - Waiting For The Feeling Cinnamon Girl - Set You Free And I got both Scissor Sisters and Mark Ronson featuring Katy B yesterday. Also wanted to buy 30 Days, but it's not available over here :( Weird since we got all the 'On Your Radar' singles on their release date.

iTunes Weekly Thread: W/C 13th May 2012
I had never thought of that before, but it definitely makes sense! Especially since Ed was smashing with Lego House back in November and, like you already said, it's pretty quiet around him at the moment. And even though Forgiveness wasn't the best choice. I like the fact he did release it for his fanbase and went back to his roots, like Eric mentioned. It is an amazing song! Looking at the charts, I'm actually shocked that Melanie C is as high as #69 with a new song! I didn't even know she had new music coming out. How is it doing so well? Especially after the flop of her latest album and singles.

Good to see Mark and Katy in the top 100. There isn't a video for it, is there? And get that top 200 smash Delilah! Does anyone remember where Love You So was at this point?

And I haven't commented on it before, but great to see Wretch doing so well already! It's still beyond me why he released Forgiveness instead Of Hush Little Baby. I like Forgiveness a lot as well, but Hush Little Baby so good and so commercial at the same time. It also sounds like a song that could really sell an album, so would have been perfect for a November release.

01. Tyler James 02. Joelle Moses 03. Frances Wood 04. Jaz Ellington 05. Ruth Brown 06. Matt and Sueleen 07. Leanne Mitchell 08. Adam Isaac I must say that I was actually shocked at how bad the show was this week! Tyler was absolutely brilliant and Joelle and Frances were decent, but I didn't like anyone else. Ruth completely ruined Next To Me, I like her quite a lot and still love her No One version during the battle round but this was just shouting. And I really didn't like how Tom commented on it without barely knowing Emeli her name and saying she did something special. I'm sorry, but Emeli is miles better. Will is amazing though, he made me laugh so much. I still love Jessie as awell. Ratings are awful as well! Not that I'm surprised, but still. It's half of the people that were watching the auditions.

iTunes Weekly Thread: W/C 13th May 2012
Loads of great songs out this week! The Saturdays, Scissor Sisters, Delilah and finally Mark and Katy. I wonder why it took them so long to release it! Has been out for absolute ages now. Really hope Delilah can return to the top 100 after Love You So. Still don't understand why that underperformed. And just because everyone else is doing it :P 01. Higher (Flo Rida Version) 02. Ego 03. My Heart Takes Over 04. Notorious 05. 30 Days 06. Missing You 07. Issues 08. Forever Is Over 09. All Fired Up 10. If This Is Love 11. Up 12. Work 13. Just Can't Get Enough

No, her album isn't out till July! So I wonder if we will get another single before that? I really hope Breathe can be some sort of hit, but I'm not expecting anything, especially after the amazing Love You So underperformed so much. Breathe is not the most chart friendly song out there. And while she has support from Radio 1, I don't think any other stations are playing her.

I hope not, but it wouldn't surprise me. Helen was definitely my favourite last year and Tom is my favourite this year. Jade deserved to go this week, was actually surprised Azhar went.

Go Rita! Amazing to see her at #1 already, that was very fast. It's such a good song though so I'm happy for both her and Tinie. Unfortunately it seems like Mz. Bratt her new single is not in the top 400 yet, not that I was expecting anything without support. It's very good though, the chorus is written by Emeli Sandé.

Overall I thought the show was weaker than last week. It was very average, there wasn't a performance that I disliked but there also wasn't one that I absolutely loved. My ranking would be: 01. Cassius Henry 02. Becky Hill 03. Bo Bruce 04. Vince Kidd 05. Max Milner 06. David Julien 07. Aleks Josh 08. Hannah Berney 09. Ruth-Ann St. Luce 10. Toni Warne Cassius really surprised me, I thought he did a great job and good song choice aswell. While Toni definitely has a good voice, the whole performance just felt very karaoke. And they should stop using that show, as good as it is, it has been done way too much now on talent shows.

The video for Where Have You Been really made an impact it seems! Good to see. I remember I wasn't a massive fan of the song when I got the album back in November, but it has finally grown on me now. You Da One is still better though.

Come on Tulisa! She really deserves the #1 and I hope she can get it. Good to see Cover Drive doing well aswell, really like Sparks. Lianne is not in the top 300 yet? Not that I was expecting it, I don't think the song has got any airplay. She really deserves some success, so talented.

I think it was on her first EP she released a while ago, but that got deleted after the video appeared and she announced it was going to be her new single.

01. Tyler James 02. Ruth Brown 03. Frances Wood 04. Jaz Ellington 05. Joelle Moses 06. Matt & Suleen 07. Sam Buttery 09. Sophie Griffin 08. Leanne Mitchell 10. Adam Isaac Tyler was absolutely amazing. He was already my favourite and he certainly didn't disappoint me. I usually don't understand why anyone would want to buy a X Factor performance version on iTunes, but if his version of Higher Love was released I would definitely buy it. Beautiful! Ruth was so good aswell and I really like Frances.

Go Tulisa! Amazing to see the Lianne EP as high as #27 aswell, I wasn't expecting that to be honest.

Agreed, although Almost Here is nowhere near as good as the other four. But Delta is amazing, yes. Especially the Innocent Eyes album! Not a big fan of her new single though, very disappointing.

So glad Tyler made it through, he is definitely my favourite at the moment. Ruth is lovely aswell. I think I agree with every decision, except for Bill and Max. I did enjoy Max his audition quite a lot, but his battle performance was a bit weird. Bill did a much better job, but I was not surprised to see that Danny went for Max.

Get that international promo :P The news was also on a Dutch show and they showed a clip of her X Factor audition from years ago. A bit random. To go on topic again, amazing to see Laserlight climbing so fast!

I really liked Tyler James. It seems like he has a lot of potential and can do even better than he showed yesterday. Joelle was very good and Bo was decent aswell. Didn't really like the woman who did If I Were A Boy though. She started pretty good but was basically shouting herself through the chorus. Not surprised Tom went for her, I don't think I like anyone who is in his team so far.

I agree! And it also spent two weeks at #1, not what I could call frontloaded. I'm team Justin this week, although Carly can stay at #1 aswell. Both are great songs. Hope Sway can keep climbing aswell. Is Santigold anywhere in the top 1000 yet?
