A Year In Pop: 24

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

Back to Mondays for the duration of the Pop Open - it's this weeks pop records for your dissection and delectation. The return! of reality TV contestants. The return! of bands who seem to think getting a download single in the charts is a major statement. The return! of the new music that's taking over the country. AND MORE!

[Poll #1005169]

Also, use the tag, if you will, to go and tick last week's poll, if you didn't: very poor turnout there.

haha, in my defence i have not heard the Lee Mear versh of ADWD, but heck! it's ADWD, how bad can he do it?

importantly the Editors song is SHOCKING, second manics alBUM lyrics except not quite so oblique, clearly it is one times cash on on the smoking ban too ;)

I was hoping Keith from Scotland would win - the first time I saw Lee perform (NB I only watched the final) I thought "wow he's really got something", engaged the audience, great mover, really open faced, great gestures etc etc. but then I realised he does the same stagey gestures, looks to audience, etc for EVERY SONG no matter what its tempo or emotional tone. Little Keith was clearly a bit afrit of being on the final but was much more likeable.

But on the other hand Joseph isn't MEANT to be likeable - he is a bit of a git all the way through isn't he? Even more so after he has sold out to The Man aka Pharaoh.
