The UK iTunes charts are very good. Most of the music that tops the charts comes from the US but yet its harder for UK artists to cross-over into the US. A lot of the music from the US that tops the UK charts are generic dance music.There are some generic dance songs I like, such as On The Floor by JLo and I Gotta Feeling by the Peas. But I just hate how lazy some artists and bands get. Pop gets such a bad name for itself, but when you have artists like Katy Perry singing about Califonia Gurls and wanting to see your Peacock and Ke$ha singing about the stuff she sings about, how can you blame anyone. Hip-Hop, people think is all about money, cars, getting "bishes" and boasting about stuff they don't have or claim to have. But the lyrics to a lot of good Hip-Hop from Lupe Fiasco, JayZ, Kayne West, Lil Wayne and Eminem are good music. Nicki Minaj is over-rated but she and her music are / can be quite interesting and fresh. R&B/Soul, Jazz, Rock/Alt Rock and Country are the only music that seems to have any credability.

Rotherham, Yorkshire could soon be getting an Oriental touch, as outline planning permission has been granted for ‘leisure use’. The park, which would be named ‘Visions of China’, is set to feature numerous Rollercoasters and Thrill Rides, as well as a Temple, a China Town Retail street, an Oriental Spa plus much more, all inspired by Beijing’s Forbidden City. The Theme Park is expected to create 200 jobs during its construction period, with 380 permanent jobs to become available once open. Peter Moore, formerly marketing director at the Alton Towers Resort said: “I believe it will be, no doubt, one of the most exciting projects British tourism will have seen for decades.”http://www.ukparknews.co.uk/entry/cms/?p=5899

It makes me so mad that a guy was forced to strip and take off his clothes. They attacked what looked like an Asian kid and he's bleeding and they just rob him. One word...Chavs

I think Swarm will turn out better than Raptor. I think what is a short ride will be very thrilling and atmospheric.

Why will you be wearing your wellies?

I saw them on Chattyman and the sex-obsessed character, is becoming a Father soon. I knew they were older, but they're quite a bit older

I'm just happy that this coaster has a huge set piece.Colossus is well-landscapedNemesis Inferno is compactStealth is big and quite dominatingSAW is well-themed inside but outside is bareSo it is nice that Swarm will be well themed and well-landscaped. I might go to Thorpe Park once next year, we'll see...

I'm quite excited. Hopefully it's as good as Raptor or even better.

How do you know they just want thrill rides? Not everyone is the same. I'm sure it would be worthwhile to make the place look nicer, presentation is important.

Ok, let me get more in-depth, for some peopleThorpe Park is situated on reclaimed land that used to be a quarry. It's a quarry in the middle of an urban environment. It's not that appealing and it has come quite a long way to compete with the likes of Alton Towers.Thorpe Park, have had to make do with what they have. They are not exactly Alton Towers, who was "Born That Way" with its luscious green land and woodland enviroment. AT already have that amazing landscape there and therefore doesn't require any work apart from maintaining the environment.If Thorpe Park was where AT was, they would probably look as good too. And because I don't live near AT, I have to make do, with Thorpe Park.It frustrates me, because Merlin are the 2nd biggest theme park operator and if they could be bothered, they would landscape the park more and make it look better and more appealing.

I think Thorpe should capitalise on the fact that they are a lakeside themepark. I would like them to do more landscaping and tidy the whole park up and make it look less of a concrete jungle.Thorpe is reclaimed land and is doing the best they can. Alton is much better but is quite far away.

Ooo Dan is on a roll!!Gaga fans are not the most simple-minded, naive and irritating fanbase. I mean, how many Gaga fans do you know are how you described. Gaga fans are smart and most of them aren't even like how you described.What you said is a generalisation and I find that a wee bit insulting.

Shakira's album was She Wolf. It was gonna be:1) She Wolf2) Did It Again3) Men In This Town4) GypsyBut they delayed her album for a whole month to include a Timbaland song (Originally on Shock Value II) called "Give It Up To Me", which sounds so much like this collabo with Nelly Furtado and Justin Timberlake, "Give It To Me".Instead, they went with the Timbaland song which was Shakira's lowest opening and the delay wasn't worth it and the chairman was asked to resign.

Anyways...Jive is Britney's labelRCA is Xtina and Kelly's labelEpic is Shakira and Alexandra Burke's labelColumbia is Beyonce's labelAll are the main labels of Sony Music and all are having their individual problemsJive:Britney's album leaked 3 weeks ago and sales are not what was expected. Ciara's 3rd and 4th album had budget cuts due to mismanagement and now she has left the label after wanting to be let go. I wish it was like that for Kelly Clarkson. Ciara has since met with Interscope and Universal Motown's respective chairmans.RCA:Xtina wanted to experiment with an electro/dubstep sound and wanted to do something more original but her label didn't like the direction, so they made her do R&B songs and Bionic is her lowest-charting album.Epic:The then-chairman, Amanda Ghost, who penned songs for Beyonce became chairman of the label, with no managerial experience in the music industry, destroyed Shakira's She Wolf album.Columbia:Kelly Rowland left RCA after problems with her manager (Beyonce's Father) and has gone to Universal Motown. She's now on XFactor UK and hopefully things will look up.Sony is one of those labels that I don't like how they handle their artists and Interscope is really, the label to be at. The last four artists to get 1st week sales of 1 million + are: Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, Eminem and Lil Wayne.

If I'm being honest, Sony is not the place for creative artists like Kelly. Sony is a big machine that more controlled and restrictive in terms of what music they release. Also, Sony are having merging-type issues which has caused problems with Leona and Alexandra Burke's albums.Kelly would be suited at Interscope Records because they are known for having creative artists like Taylor Swift, Lil Wayne, Eminem, Gaga, Natalia Kills, Nicole Scherzinger and others I've forgotten.

I remember when it used to be about Scooby Doo and Woodie WoodpeckerKids these days

Hypocritical, double-standard parents:I hate the fact that my Dad can do whatever he wants and gets away with being aggressive and making mistakes but whenever me or my Sister does the same, it works differently.My Dad forgot to put the handbrake on the other day and mashed up our and our neighbour's car and Mum threw a huge one that spanned 3 days. He got drunk and got near violent with me, the 2nd day after. A couple of days later, everything is forgotten but minor things I do, are never forgotten. He gets to shout and say nasty things (not swear words) that make me feel like crap but when I do the same, I get slated for not having respect for my parents. My Mum said how mistakes they make, are in the past, but they get to bring stuff up that I've done whenever it suits them. It's fantastic how things are so one-way in life. In addition, she gets to be a bitch and she is never wrong, even when she is wrong and she rarely apologises for hurting me or my Sis.And the best thing is, that if I don't like how things are, I can just leave the house because according to them, at 22 yrs I am not their responsibility. Though that said, my Mum always nags and moans about the littlest things, even things that have got nothing to do with her. And she says she nags because she cares. Ironic much?

LOL @ my Dad not putting the handbrake on and it rolling into neighbour's carMy Mum is screaming at him because he did not put the handbrake on. He says he did but he always forgets and I'm having a huge laugh with my mate at how stupid he is. The back of the car is cracked and scratched hugely and the car rolled into the front of our neighbour's car, whose right, side-light is not working. I can't @ being able to use this as a future joke:Q: What doesn't have to be drunk, to crash their car?A: My Dad
