Re: Rihanna - We Found Love (1st single) Lovely! I was worried reading the lukewarm comments, but I think I'm going to develop a slight obsession.

I sort of understand why they were re-signed, but mostly it confuses me. Every departure has lost the band fans, as demonstrated by loads of previous die-hards like myself posting bitchy, over-it shit on THE forum likely to offer unconditional support. Kids who grew up with them don't recognise...

Re: Rihanna - We Found Love (1st single) Shit fake lyrics - nobody could sing that with a straight face. Pop lyrics need to be simple. Also, there are about 3 too many paragraphs / verses. Someone likes their own Riri fantasies.

Well what? What size venue do you see them being able to fill up?

Labels make negligible money from downloads - especially at this level of invisibility. A Rolling in the Deep or whatever might make you a few quid, but think how cheap songs are now, and then think of producers' expenses, video shoots and everything else. Money comes from touring mostly, and I...

Don't be sad - it wouldn't have charted anyway. Good move, as they knew only half the people who bought Sweet 7 would touch this song. Come back with something less embarrassing that Radio 1 might consider, ladies.

Vanessa breaks the skinny mould?? Effective video! I like the song more now, and it's coming together like a hit.

Re: Nicola Roberts - Cinderella's Eyes (album) + General Discussion Christ in a canoe! Sorry I was late on knowing about Lucky Day's release strategy in time. Anyway, I think it's a great idea, but I'm incredibly bummed Drum didn't get the same treatment. Sad snowball effect, methinks.

Re: Nicola Roberts - Cinderella's Eyes (album) + General Discussion She's just announced it will NOT be on air on sale. Right?

I'm loving it! Whatever I expected, it was nothing this straightforwardly, confidently awesome.

Re: Keisha Buchanan solo - General Discussion Ooh Carried Away sounds lovely! So Sugababesy.

It's doing well in Canada, getting a TON of airplay here in France (and it's top 10 on iTunes).

Awful, and presumably about to a huge hit.

Re: Sugababes - Freedom (New Single) This made me laugh a little. I felt the same at the time, despite Mr Justice declaring it amazing. I never thought it was a bad song, just that it was beneath the Babes. I feel the same thing with Freedom, except without the grudging 'I don't like it, but...

Re: Nicola Roberts - Beat Of My Drum + Cinderella's Eyes (album) I understand the people who would like Porcelain Heart to be traded off for the second Metronomy song, but I think it belongs on the album. I expect Cinderella's Eyes to be fucking incredible, and I'll throw a fit if it's not, but...

Re: Sugababes - Freedom (New Single) Comparing it to Hole in the Head is ridiculous. You might like it as much as that song, but... it just... no. Freedom is about... freedom? It's so stupidly over-positive, which never worked for the real Sugababes (sorry, Ugly, am in the minority, etc etc)...

Can we let go of Pixie for this thread? I'm looking forward to new Saturdays. The albums have (in my hum..etc) been lacking, but the singles have mostly been great. And essentially Notorious is a hit, in this new on air era. I have a few worries about their whole 'Oh yeah writing SO many songs...

Re: Will Young - Echoes (New Album, Produced by Richard X) August 22nd Oh God I just heard the terrible new Pixie Lott song too. I have a horrible feeling Radio 1 will playlist her and ignore this masterpiece.

Re: Will Young - Echoes (New Album, Produced by Richard X) August 22nd I hadn't realise I missed his voice! This is incredible, and exactly what he should be doing. More dignified than some sort of J. Lo fiasco, but not Radio 2 music either.

Re: Nicola Roberts - Beat Of My Drum + Cinderella's Eyes (album) This was obviously as divisive as... every breath Nicola Fucking Roberts takes. I thought it was great. I was so pleased to see dancers, and to see her on a show which 'gets' her. I thought the intro was quite clever (and well...
