Make Luv- Room 5 for most of I think. That and Crazy in Love being the only songs I liked in that list ( not minding the former, loving the latter for some reason)
And while I hate to admit to liking the song, where were tATu?
I have to say that I thought Daniel Bedingfields song was the best!
It was only number one for four weeks actually. I think most of the people who bought that song would have been hagning around the street, made-up like clowns.
To have any credibility, it shoulda been a totally open nominations vote, with the 10 most popular songs going through.
Yep.
It's really irritating that this cover song has become Record of the Year. When the original artist recorded it, they were writing and singing from the heart, expressing their feelings, but with Westlife, there is no emotion, all you can feel from them is
"We're trying our best to make little girls fancy us, buy our songs that we don't write and make us Record of The Year".
Ah well, this just means I'll have to continue not watching this programme, or Top of The Pops or anything like that.
I beg to differ. I think its great.
Another crap TV texting money making scheme with little girls
deciding the outcome. I really think 'Record of the year' sounds crap and they shouldn't have created it in the first place.
Despite all that, I did vote 3 times for Rachel Stevens
It was. The first 43987023 times it was played. After that, it just started to get old.
Wasn't even tolerable the first time.
Simply a cliché. And in a bad way!
well to be honest, i wouldnt have voted for someone who couldnt have been arsed to turn up
Yup.
That's half the problem these days. If someone came up with the next "Imagine" or whatever, it'd get played to death and people would end up hating it.
Don't be so fucking stupid. Do you really think the likes of Beyonce and 50cent have nothing better to do? Like tour maybe?
You make it sound like they were putting their feet up and settling down for a night in front of the telly :rolleyes:
I actually think the five which didn't make it into the top ten are a lot better than the ones that did. I'm not even a pop fan particularly but surely there are far far better pop songs than that Westlife one? The whole thing seems bizarre to me.
I've only heard it 2 or 3 times.
Not cliched. Good soulful hip hop.
Was this song realesed this year? Yes
So therefore it doesnt matter that it was on the program cuz it was released this year. And as for westlife winning and their being no rock bands on the show, are you really that surprised?? American music should be allowed (and is) in the record of the year cuz its not like the show was called British Record Of The Year, is it? and the fact that a cover song won it, is a disgrace to 'music'.
At the end of the day, this was touted as the "Record of the Year" and not as the Pop record OTY. So why are there only pop acts included?
Does Mandy really compare well with a tune like "Clocks" for example?
Does it matter that this song was written years ago by Barry Manilow (who didn't even get a "thank you" from Westlife BTW), or are we saying that none of the original songs match something which was considered cheesy even back then?
Is this really the best song which the industry had to offer this year - or even the best "pop" song?
I think not.
