[BigSister]

Good selection Stropz mostly same as mine:thumbs:

[lily.]

Group C was the only one I struggled with. I didn't want to leave out the Sugababes. I really like their stuff, but Robbie is king of all that is great!!!! .. and I love McFly!

[BigSister]

Same as me Stropz but I love mc fly and I love Push the button but I felt gulity leaving out Robbie so I added him in brackets

[lily.]

:laugh: BigSis. I left sugababes out guilt-free because it's not their best track. They have far more superior stuff. I liked push the button. It was a good 'pop' track, but I like some of their less upbeat stuff better.

[BigSister]

Well we all have our opinions however I have a feeling Westlife will win *rolls eyes*

[lily.]

Yeah, you are probably right. Although McFly might take their crown. You never know!

'Caught in a moment'.. ... I couldn't think of the Sugababes song that I really loved.. I just remembered it! My memory is sh!t at this time of night!

I should go to bed.. :laugh:

Night BigSis! x

[Ruth]

My selection:

Group A

James Blunt - You're Beautiful
Coldplay - Speed Of Sound

(two great songs)

Group B

Daniel Powter - Bad Day
Gwen Stefani - What You Waiting For?

(I love the Gwen Stefani track. I like Daniel Powter a lot, even though this song got overplayed)

Group C

Sugababes - Push The Button
Robbie Williams - Tripping

(Never could stand Robbie in the past, but I've grown to like him recently. Apart from Trippin' Push The Button was the best of a bad bunch; I like the Sugababes, but not this song so much)

Group D

Katie Melua - Nine Million Bicycles
Oasis - Lyla

(I don't like any of the songs in this group, but I quite like Katie Melua and Oasis generally, so I've had to go for those two)

Group E

Mario - Let Me Love You
Stereophonics - Dakota

(Didn't see Dakota on the list originally; I love that song).

[BigSister]

I didnt see the es either ruth so so my list originally was different. Im crossing that Mc fly will get through but I think its going to be Westlife:nono: and Robbie

[katieee]

westlife or kelly clarkson

[James]

From the initial list I'd say Speed of Sound by Coldplay - that was a pretty good tune.

As has been said Westlife will probably win - no doubt there's some organised, multiple voting going on.

[Pipergun]

Just found the following website: although it's posting nothing against the rules, it does seem to indicate an unfair advantage to Westlife by encouraging voting specifically for them. Smells a bit fishy eh!? :rolleyes::puzzled:

Click Here (http://top40-charts.com/news.php?nid=18761)

(Perhaps I'm trying hard to find excuses because I dislike them!! :spin2: - Sorry! I just see it as another cover version and unworthy of the Record of the Year title, as opposed to an original song!)

[Siouxsie]

my vote goes to james blunt

[Legend]

Not another one lol. O.j!

I want either - Kelly Clarkson, Daniel Powter or James Blunt. But wouldn't mind if Lemar won.

Would hate it if BEP, Gorillaz or Katie Melua won cos i hate those 2 songs!

McFly, Westlife and Gwen Stefani i coudln't care either way.

[Pipergun]

Not another what? Lol! :bigsmile:

I am sneaky in my ways :spin2::rolleyes:

You're right, I won't inflict such torture on the forum LoL! :thumbs:

[BigSister]

Record of the year is great. i remember when S Club 7 won

[ThaGazBoi]

yeh so do i- Dont Stop Mobvingggggggg

[Jay]

James Blunt or Lemar for me

[lily.]

James Blunt is good..

I'm miffed that coldplay didn't get in tho..

I like Daniel Powter.. my husband's mates keep teasing him and saying he looks like Daniel Powter.. I don't think he does.. but, then again, I think he looks like Chris Martin.. *Shrugs*.. oh, to be a celebrity look-a-like! :laugh:

[BigSister]

I like Daniel Powter too Stropz*You had a bad day"
Just be glad that the Crazy frog didnt get in:laugh:

[Siouxsie]

yep hes good too

[Pipergun]

I'm curious as to how the Gorillaz will perform - whether their video will be played, or they might appear as holograms ala the EMAs. I wouldn't have thought Record of the Year would have the budget or equipment for that though? :puzzled::rolleyes:

[BigSister]

intresting..... Tom I never thought of that

[Lance]

Kelly recorded her performance for the show at her gig at the Koko Club two Tuesdays ago.

Wooosh Kelly allllll the way.:dance:

[Pipergun]

Yep, good luck to Kelly, It'd be great if she won. Although Imo the acts that perform live on the night are likely to get more votes. :bored:

Shame, that means ppl like Westlife have an immediate advantage! I'll say no more lol! :thumbs:

Record of the Year is on tonight at 5.35 and 7.45pm :spin:

[Arneldo]

Westlife have won Record of the Year with You Raise me up!

Westlife got 63 points.

[BigSister]

:bawling:at Westlife:nono:

[Princess]

Argeed,they seem to win everything!!I wanted Kelly Clarkson to win

[BigSister]

I wanted Mc Fly/ Kelly Clarkson/ James Blunt or Daniel Powter

[Siouxsie]

i voted for james blunt what a voice that man has

[Legend]

Grrrrrrrrrrr!!!!! Why do they win everything!!!!!!!!

And always with coversss!!!!! I'm annoyed cos that is nowhere near as good as James Blunt's, Daniel Powter's Kelly Clarksons and even Lemar's!!!! :bawling:

[Z]

Y'know, I'm tired of Westlife. Who actually buys their records? I don't know a single person who actually likes them! Yet they're always making number 1!

It's always teenage girls, isn't it? I'd like to know..

Oh yeah, and I'm glad Lemar made the top 10! ^_^

For a brief moment, I thought BEP were going to win it, y'know, a glimmer of hope there. In the end, Westlife + McFly come ahead of them?! Fixed!!!

[Lance]

*Yawn*

I'd say something if it was an original song self or co-written. But NOOO... the same old mumbo-jumbo vomited out onto 100,000's of CDs.

Who is still buying there stuff? I know of no-one who buys Westlife CDs. Then again... if you bought one would you be flaunting it around?:laugh:

[ThaGazBoi]

Too true lance.

I voted twice for Kelly Clarkson and once for the BEPS and Gwen Stefani.

[Pipergun]

*Yawn* at Westilife :sleep:

I thought at one point the BEPs might win, but as always Westlife seemed to have the luck of the Irish! :nono:

I had the results videoed as I was out, but looking back, at the stage in their repeat of the winning song, which I hasten to add was clearly mimed, they seemed to have screwed up balls of paper thrown at them. :bigsmile::bigsmile:

Anyone else notice this?? :puzzled:

[ThaGazBoi]

Nah i didnt but ill watch it back when am cousions who recorded it on Sky+..i HATE WESTLIFE..:-X

[Ella]

James Blunt was robbed....Westlife are pants! I LOVE JAMES BLUNT!!

[Jay]

yeah i thought James Blunt was good

good to see you back ella

[Ella]

Thanks Jay!!! :hello:

[ThaGazBoi]

Westlife ARE pants and always WILL be.

Welcome back Ella.

[Legend]

My mum and aunties LOVE Westlife. They have been to loads of concerts!

So, it's thouse kind of people who like them. Lol.

[BigSister]

I dont like them either never have and never will but those who do like them are good supporters
Oh and welcome back Ella:colour:

[cc100]

Its all the middle aged women who vote in these contests- thats why people like Westlife always win.

[VurtyWurtyBoy]

I wanted Kelly C or James Blunt. IMO Westlife suck.
