Reflections is nice but sounds like a lot of other songs, especially the chorus. I like Letters more now hearing the full studio version

Certainly not one youre winning

no, i actually liked matt cardle on the xfactor, i wanted him to win last year only because he could play an instrument, so fair play to him.
his song though, lets just say it wasnt exactly the best lol. but ive read that it was gary barlow that wrote it for him, so gary has obviously let matt down bigtime. if he had a better first single than that, he might just have had a number 1 album.

But i also question the release date. If you want a number 1 album, why would you release an album on the same or around the same date as not only Noel Gallagher but also Coldplay lol. If he released it a week or two earlier he wouldve been number 1, no doubt about it

Now this is what bugs me...if he brought out a typical xf type album, say full of covers and stuff written by others the press would have a go.......so, he goes away, writes his own material, works his butt off, produces an album that is "his music" and.....................the press still have a go...

A phrase keeps going through my head...no matter WHAT you do, you cant please EVERYONE

Now I'll just shuffle off again and put on Letters

Thanks That was one I was looking forward to most and it didn't disappoint.

I don't have the acoustic one yet, I'm going to get that at HMV for the signing on Friday

Can't wait to hear from Cat and Cardie today! I'm not sure what to expect. Trying to decide what to say to him, any advice/suggestions?

Hi Cardie
Yes that was me Don't really post much these days. Always lurking though

Where are you guys expecting starlight to chart when it's released? What do you reckon will be seen as a success. I was thinking anything top 10. Or am i being too optimistic

LOL, you little monkey....I really dont see this as a race

RFYL was chosen for a reason, for me its a cross over song from xf towards his own material which, personally I feel is better. The second single I believe is Starlight, one of his own co written tracks, more uptempo so it will be interesting to see how that fares. As for the release date of the album, hear what you are saying (be buying Coldplays new album myself actually) but again, its not a race to no1 in my eyes, its selling just fine and holding its own against more established artists

I was hoping for some advice on that front as well Lins!! At least you've already met him and had a cuddle so the ice has been broken so to speak. From the thousands who send tweets to him, he's probably not going to recognise my Twitter name but I think I'll definitely mention DS MCAT! I've got my KOKO ticket with me so hoping that will help too. Perhaps I'll let Cardie go first!!

I love, LOVE that acoustic CD, even loud via the Bose speakers its a clear as a bell (he should record a whole album in that church at some point).

Well, try not to swear which was the first thing I did....LOL

Suggestion where do you buy all your strippy tops from then

Yeah I want to mention that I was at 3 of the shows and see if he remembers me but I don't want to launch in with "Do you remember me?" like some loon.

Some of us like Matt for his music and are completely unconcerned about 'chart battles'. I must admit to knowing nothing about today's charts, I buy music I like and don't care if it's 'popular' or not. Matt needs to sell well to secure another album and, currently, we're happy with how things are going.

Steve Brrokstein secured a number one album but he was dropped because the album didn't sell well and sank quickly.

If the label had really wanted a number one album then they would have released Matt's last week because I believe Steps got to number one with only 30K sales in total for the week.
