Album ratings don't mean anything!
Hi,
Isnt it strange that three of the fastest selling albums in this country, didnt have the best of ratings look Susan Boyle - I Dreamed a DREAM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Dreamed_a_Dream_(album) Cheryl Cole - 3 Words http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3_Words JLS - JLS http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JLS_(album) What matters now is if you have a BIGGER enough fan base, even if your album is trash people will still buy it |

I never look at reviews or ratings> I also think people who believe in one person's opinion is stupid as well

I agree, they don't matter. Critiques and reviews are all one person's opinion, but people will want to form their own opinions.

I buy what I want to listen to... Considering I'm paying out my money and that I live in a democracy, I think I have the right to do so.

Does anyone really expect great albums from reality TV show contestants or presenters?
They're just Christmas presents for fans of the TV shows. I'd be very surprised if any of these albums were being bought or listened to this time next year, let alone in five or ten years time. |

Kelly Clarkson? Girls Aloud? Might not be your musical tastes... But they have made some great albums. |

Like other people have said; I don't read reviews, not before I've got the album anyway. After I've heard it and have formed by own opinion, then I like to have a little look at certain reviews.
Of course it's all subjective, but you always get the odd reviewer who's blatantly trying to be quirky or controversial by giving something a worse review than it deserves. |

I would read them but if i read a bad review but liked the artist or a single then i would buy the album regardless of whether a crtitic has said otherwise.

Cheryl Cole, Susan Boyle etc had massive build-ups to their singles/albums so no wonder they ended up doing so well. |
