Emeli Sande smashing everyone to pieces :love:
Will be the only album over 1M by the end of the year :worship:

Adele ****ing killing everyone!

ew at all except rih and lana

woah major drop in music sales since last year!

2012 will be looked back on as the year of the flops

Indeed, quite a **** year for music overall....

Go Lana :worship:

such a shame the paradise edition didn't stay top for long.
The songs would've done better if released on a stand alone EP I think.

Paloma, mumford, coldplay <3

Rest can **** imo?

Wow, didn't realise music sales in the UK had been so bad this year. :shocked:

What a terrible list

What is this whole hate thing against her? Least she can actually sing.

Would agree with you about Coldplay if Myloxoto wasn't so average

Emeli is atrocious

She really isn't imo

:worship:

yes but she hasn't got much star quality

Well she has, as she is the biggest seller this year

She clearly has something, wouldn't have sold that many otherwise

as a singer, yes, but as a 'celebrity' she doesn't have much of a presence which is why some people don't really feel her

I agree, she lacks depth. just another voice that'll be forgotten about in a few years....

I'd rather she wasn't on every front page or news story on DS tbh

But that's the thing, she's EVERYWHERE

She really isn't? Never hear about her nowadays, it's all about GaGa wearing fur or Rihanna on her 7 day tour etc can't remember the last time I read a story on her.

Never hear about her nowadays? She was on X Factor the other week and will be on it again this week. She also performed in the Olympics twice. She's been shoved down our throats more than the likes of Rihanna/Gaga these past few months and it's unpleasant because the fact is she's boring.

If it wasn't for how heavily she was featured on the Olympics Closing Ceremony it wouldn't really feel as if she was everywhere.

But either way, good old Jessie is the best one on that list :idc:

Load of ****. Rihanna was on xfactor (and is going on again) so I don't see how that argument's valid. And just because you find her boring, how does that make her atrocious etc?

I was talking about the past few months.. Emile has been shoved down our throats more.

And anyway Rihanna is far more exciting. I'm sorry love her or hate her if you think she's less interesting than Emile you're absolutely lying. Emile is a poor man's Leona Lewis, who is nothing special as well.

In your opinion, I think Leona Lewis & Emeli Sande are far more exciting than Rihanna.

I'd rather she was successful today than the talentless (and I mean, truly talentless. Britney has nothing) 'queens' in your signature :idc:

Emeli Sande is a brilliant songwriter aswell, yet people just say shes awful & forget she does so much more than most singers

that gif is hilarious :laugh3:

Considering she performed more at the Olmpics than most athletes and done pretty much every event possible, it's not surprising.


Fair play. She's obviously worked hard and deserves it. I remember when she was an unknown feature on a Chipmunk track :laugh:

I :love: Diamond Rings by Chipmunk so much.

Omg was that her? :amazed:

She was great on Diamond Rings, that was a jam

Really don't agree with you there. And what has excitement got to do with anything? Yes, she may perform with rain pouring over her, but that doesn't mean that Emile boring, just a different style of performance. And I can feel the depth in Emile's songs. Whilst I do like Rihanna, I couldn't comment on how many of her somgs I believe she writes on her own. And I don't see how Emile is a poor mans Leona, pretty different artists. Besides, Emile has done better than both of them in the UK this year so.

And it's not as if Emile comes across as horrible either, perfectly nice woman if you ask me. She deserves the success because she's put the effort in. Good reviews don't come in from around the globe for just no reason you know.

Britney doesn't need talent anymore (even though she has it :suspect:), shes a legacy.

No one said Emeli isn't a nice person or doesn't deserve success, shes just not that exciting which is why she doesn't have a strong fan base online when you compare her to someone like Azealia Banks whos probably less known than Emeli but she has that extra 'it' factor outside of the music which is why shes developing a strong supportive fan base.

Either way no one can deny that Emeli is talented as a singer and songwriter.
