'Glassheart' • Third Album
To be fair, I can see why Intervention was left off the album, it's not a strong song. However I do like the overall sound of it. Scene of the Crime and How Everything You Are on the otherhand are just stunning :wub: 'How Everything You Are' shows that Leona is capable of making truly emotive music, and she can do it without heavy productions of the Run variety; just by using her voice and more stripped back sounds like a piano. I haven't been moved by a song like this in a while. Her sound is evolving, and songs like this show that as well as the overall sound of Echo. She should continue in that direction and I hope in future Syco don't leave out gems like this in favour of safe songs like Stop Crying Your Heart Out. Although nice, it keeps her stuck in the Spirt era, and when they promoted Echo using SCYHO, that is the message they sent out to the public.

Lady Gaga - Alejandro
#3 Completely random guess though it's a brilliant single choice - a real summer anthem.

I refuse to watch it, I can't hack films about abandoned animals. I was almost in tears during the trailer :(

Kaci Battaglia · Crazy Possessive
I heard this a while ago thanks to Tyron posting it in a thread, the video is one of the reasons I love this - she is so unbeliveably hot, I just admire her body. Yes it's generic as hell, but man is it fierce :wub:

'Alejandro' • 3rd Single Thread
Not if it's true that she's going to release her second LP at the end of the year. And she's on tour until September. GaGa is literally working herself to death, I just hope she doesn't burn out, or creatively drys up.

'Telephone' (feat. Beyoncé) • 2nd Single Thread
I hope it manages to go No.1 - hasn't Just Dance and Poker Face been the only ones so far to top the main chart? I was suprised Bad Romance didn't make it considering how much it's sold. There system can be a bit wtf sometimes. Also I found it a bit shocking that her album hasn't hit No.1 yet either, especially considering how much it's sold. At least Telephone is her sixth consecutive Top 10 hit, fifth non-consecutive Top 5 hit and her fourth non-consecutive Top 3 hit. I know everyone pretty much knows this, but I like seeing it all listed like that :kink:

Lost: Season 6
To be honest I can see them ending the show, with a new 'game' starting, like a contant cycle. They love Stephen King, and I can just see it bearing some similarity to The Dark Tower, that and that The Stand have been such an influence on the story so far it seems to be pointing that way. Also I agree with Rooney about this episode - I don't get the hype. While it was a solid episode and the flashbacks are necessary, at this point at time, I'm not as bothered about the mythology as I was during the first three seasons. All I want are some decent character moments this year and I'll be happy. So far the only thing that has moved me is Ben pleading to Ilana.

Lost: Season 6
This episode is probably the best of Season Six so far, and makes me hopeful for the rest of the season. There are still lines that feel a bit flat, and while the symbolism at the end of the episode was a nice touch, it feels a bit in your face and OTT - still 100x better than the dreadful ending last week and probably one of the best ending shots for an episode in the shows history. An interesting theory I've read, which I think really makes a lot of sense, is that all the ghosts that talked to Hurley - Isabella, Charlie, Eko, Ana-Lucia It would explain why Isabella told Richard to stop the MiB from leaving the Island. Otherwise it means that everyone has a spirit and there is an afterlife and I don't particulary want the writers to spell that out to us. I want to leave it ambigious. Also someone is claiming to know what happens in Lost, including what happens in the finale, due to having a contact in the writers room. Obviously it's all bullcrap, but I thought I would post it, as I think this persons idea of what the final scene could be is quite interesting. I will put it in spoilers just to be safe. This person with 'insider' info said that

Glee // Season One
It could effect the budget though? The higher the ratings the more Fox invests in it. Or am I completely wrong.

Tracks that you love that no one else may have heard of...
http://wpcontent.answers.com/wikipedia/en/thumb/e/e6/1_lamb_gorecki.jpg/200px-1_lamb_gorecki.jpg One of my all time favourite songs. It's a 1997 single by a Mancunian electronic music duo called 'Lamb' and taken from their self titled debut album which was released in September 1996. It peaked at #30 in the UK singles chart in 1997, and was most recently used to promote the Tomb Raider: Underworld game. The song and the duo themselves deserved so much more. PILJRHjUVEw

Over The Rainbow
LOL thanks for the offer :P I could, but I don't really like going to theatres/cinemas on my own, and also don't fancy doing all the travelling by myself either. And the Geography department banned me, because on the trip we went on before, to see the effects of erosion, we ended it in some castle. And at first everyone all climbed these bars onto the roof, which was out of bounds. After the janiter caught us everyone jumped back down. But some people carried on climing and ran up and down/sunbathing on the roof. Someone was going free running, loads people kept going in the restricted areas, another person kicked an old wooded staircase that broke and kicked a private door down, other people ran into someones private garage which had a boat in it. The school was banned from ever going there again (they had been doing the trip for the last five years) and the school was charged. Then in school people were asked to writed down the names of people they caught doing it, and my name was mentioned - even though I only went once at the start when everyone else did it (literally everyone even the person who said my name did it) so I was banned from seeing Wicked which I was really looking forward to seeing, and I was banned from going on a fieldtrip to Andover, which was essential for collecting research for my coursework :drama: My teacher hated me from then on, and kept saying how I was not going to pass this course. I got the research from my mate, did my courswork - got an A, did my exam and got an A. The look on her face when I told her was LOL. I can't stand that woman <_<

Glee // Season One
GaGa only piped it to the top spot. In terms of sales it did well and the first album climbed back to six, holding strong. In the midweeks it's #6 and the first album is #11 which is a bit of a tumble but to be honest the albums and singles are going to be quite front loaded. And not all the singles are going to catch on, at least next week there are loads of potential hits. But viewers could be split between the two shows - even if ratings remain quite strong, casual viewers that could have tuned in and added to the numbers, might be drawn to Lost (as it will be in its homerun by then).

Glee // Season One
Judging by the spoilers and just the general fact that it is Ryan Murphy steering the Glee ship pretty much means that it won't get stale any time soon. If you think about it, how much plot development has there been in just 13 episodes? The Quinn/Finn/Rachel/Puck & baby storyline; the Will/Emma/Terri/Ken & fake baby storyline; an episode focusing on Artie and his disability; two on Kurt's sexuality, including an ongoing Finn crush subplot; Tina, Sue and Mercedes have all had subplots as well, and Merecedes and Kurt are really are becoming a comedic duo; and I'm sure the Artie/Tina relationship will be focused on again. That's on top of April's storyline and the overall sectionals and Sue trying to destroy the Glee club plot. And pretty much all of this was resolved by the end of Episode thirteen. While that may just have been because they were scared they were going to be cancelled by then, it shows what the writers are capable off when it comes to advancing the plot in a short space of time. Also don't forget this is still the first season, so there are going to be storylines that are continued throughout the rest of the nine episodes.

Glee // Season One
Like a Prayer looks EPIC :wub: they weren't lying when they said the production levels for that episode are incredible. continuing, they look so sweet together :heart: And Rachel's OTT 'No!' after that dude challenged Finn to a sing-off after school made me :lol: Oh, and Sue's "How do you two not have a show on Bravo?" & "Wow, I lost my train of thought, you have so much margarine in your hair" :D I'm glad to see the constant cracks at Will's hair style aren't going to stop. Really can't wait for it to return, although it was a dumb move on Fox's part to pit it against the final few episodes of Lost. How stupid can you get <_< .

Diana Vickers - Once
'Once' already B-List on Radio 1, all signs are pointing to this being a Top 10 hit. Chipmunk is still C-List I think.

Favourite vampire film?
Let the Right One In :heart: Not just the best Vampire film ever made, but one of the best films ever made period. And the whole reason why the book was called 'Let the Right One In' is because it is a reference to the Morrissey song 'Let the Right One Slip In'. The reference is lost with 'Let Me In'. Apparantly the American publishers changed it because they thought the original title was too long. And just <_< at the American movie remake. [Rec.] 2 has been released now in Spain, I wonder how long it will be until we get the sequel to Quarantine :lol:
