Over 7 millon hits in 2 days!! Wow! The music video certainly isn't dead.

The music video is dead......on television. But it's not dead online. I appreciate elaborate and cool music videos.

I liked it! I love Lady Gaga videos because they're visually stunning with the colours, the costumes, the sets, the props (best one was the cigarette glasses. I thought that was way cool. LOL). I always look forward to her videos. Most videos of other artists don't even try anymore and the videos are very generic.

Looking forward to all these changes. The show is sooooo boring right now.

June??? Geez! Why do they write and tape so far ahead! This is absurb.

Woohoo! Federer!! Happy he won another Grand Slam after that shocking lost at the US Open. Make it 20, Federer!

Woah, PM's past storylines are You guys weren't kidding when you said PM's likes the sensationalism.

Jamie Sale and David Pelletier 2002 Olympic Free Program: I'm not a figure skating fan, I just watch it during the Olympics, especially if Canadians are in contention for the gold. I remember watching the Sale/Pelletier program over and over whenever it aired on TV - and living in Canada, of course it was replayed all the time. LOL It was such so beautiful to watch and the awesome background music playing. Stupid French judge who was in cahoots with the Russians ruined what should've been gold for S/P and Canada. (yeah yeah...I know they/we eventually got the gold, but wasn't the same).

Exactly!! Glad to see someone who understands our system and who knows better than to believe those people who try and scare people.

What do you mean choose their doctors? LOL You don't seriously believe that do you? That's a scare tactic politians use to, well, scare you. If you need urgent surgery, or something life threatning needs to be treated, you go "ahead" of the line. It's only when you have something that's not life threatning, you have to wait. It's called common sense. Yeah, that's a small percentage. Of course if you have the money, you can go to Europe, USA, Mexico, wherever.

Glad the turnaround is happening right away! So maybe the new EP's material will start around March/April? I hope it's March.

It's so obvious the American gov't is run by big companies, whether they are big oil companies or big pharmaceutical companies - they do whatever they can do get more money into these businesses. If they think they're going to lose money, they will spend more money on scare tactics. I really hate scare tactics....and some people actually buy into it. That's brutal. So what's the big issue about the health care bill? Can't people just think, like I do (LOL): "Okay, so I'll pay a little more in taxes that will help others in need of health care. But when I get sick or injured, that money eventually comes back to help me out." When I go see a doctor I just show my health care card and I don't pay anything out of my pocket right away. How is it possible that other countries are able to survive with universal health care.....but America can't? Come on. Universal health care needs to start somewhere and it's not going to be perfect, but you can slowly fix that. Just get it done now. Whenever I hear horror stories from Americans, I just shake my head.

I don't know much about politics but Massachusetts should be ashamed of themselves. Massachusetts is suppose to be a liberal state, WTF happened? Way to go Massachusetts! I also don't know much about the American Health Care, but as a Canadian, it boggles my mind how a lot of people don't want universal health care. And now with Brown willing Mass. there's a good chance the health care bill won't get passed? That's horrible. When it comes to health care, I'm so glad I'm in Canada. I never want to get seriously injured in the States. If I'm in the US and I get hurt and it's not life threatening, someone's going to drive me back to Canada! I'll rather be in pain for a couple of hours than have to pay thousands of dollars in medicals bills. I just can't believe people can't get medical help because they can't pay for it. What kind of a world is that?

Thank God!!! Lucy's tenure was soooooo boring. Hope this new guy makes the show more exciting. Since UK soaps are always planned so far in advance, I'm going to assume Lucy's stuff will last air around May or June? That's so far away.

I use The Box too.

What are some examples of "epic pop"?

Finally caught up on all the episodos, and yeah, the show is pretty bad/boring. There's nothing exciting about the show at all. About the flashforward, it's a who killed Calvin story?? Calvin? I find it hard to believe half the town will start to hate him enough to kill him! The show needs to hire better looking girls/women, there's not enough of them. Lucy Allen sucks.

Really? I love "3" but it's not even in my top 10 Britney songs. We're both Britney fans but we have different tastes when it comes to her. LOL

I thought Circus was one of her best albums. It was a vast improvement over Blackout. 1.5 years isn't too bad. That's the title? Don't like it.

Way cool! I hope it's mostly from pre-1997. I'm not a big fan of Brent Nelson and Ken Corday's 1997-Present crap.

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up.

Oh cool, Bryan Kirkwood is the new EP??! Sweet! I will definitely tune in to see what he does with EE. I guess I should start watching now in anticipation of BK's arrival. Santer is stepping down in February, and I'm assuming that's off screen.....so when will Santer's material end/BK's material start?

After this past Thursday's episode, I have to declare my love for Dr. Arizona Robbins! I started really liking her after episode 6.5 during the scene with Callie's father: "Most people think that I was named for the state but it's not true. I was named for a battleship -- the USS Arizona. My grandfather was serving on the Arizona when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor and he saved 19 men before he drowned. Pretty much everthing my father did his whole life was about honoring that sacrifice. I was raised to be a good man in a storm. Raised to love my country, love my family and protect the things I love. When my father, Colonel Daniel Robbins of the United States Marine Corps, heard that I was lesbian, he said he only had one question. I was prepared for, "How fast can you get the hell out of my house?" but instead it was, "Are you still who I raised you to be?" My father believes in country the way you believe in God. And my father is not a man who bends, but he bent for me because I'm his daughter. I'm a good man in a storm. I love your daugther, and I protect the things I love. Not that I need to. She doesn't need it. She's strong and caring and honorable. And she's who you raised her to be." Now in episode 6.8 when she takes over the mother saying and doing the hand movements, "Bad dreams bad dreams go away good dreams good dreams here to stay," that's the moment where I fell in love with this character. And then she tops it off by saying, "I love you," to Callie at the end of the episode. What a fantastic Arizona episode!

OMG! I just finished watching Hollyoaks Later (I'm so behind, I still haven't watch the October episodes of Hollyoaks yet). Sarah's death! That was stunning to watch, especially the scene where Lydia and Zoe start running to Sarah....the cinematography and directing was just amazing. I figured Lydia was going to set up Zoe but her committing suicide (or trying to if she's not dead) in the shower was also shocking. I just love watching deaths of British soaps, they usually go all out and the location shoots really help. Death on American soaps are so lackluster. Yeah, this story was really dark. Emma and Andrew Moss totally rocked this story. I hope we'll see these characters (except Blue) on the regular show. They could spice up the show. I liked the humour on this story. The Bonnie Tyler "Holding Out For a Hero" dream sequence was hilarious! This story was also funny. Emma is the Snow White costume and the 7 Dwarfs music.......naked Tony with the pigs. I hope the show doesn't wait until the next (if there's one) to amp things up, because the past few months of the show was pretty boring.

I like your optimism!
