Tenerife. I love music 2011. Craig David. Русские на party.

Премия МУЗ ТВ-2011. Craig David - Insomnia.

Craig had looked doomed as soon as he stepped out on stage during the Saturday live show. Like the two previous evictees, Kitty Brucknell and Johnny Robinson, he was scheduled first in the running order and, in Movie Week, was bizarrely given Gladys Knight's anodyne theme from the uncool 1989 Bond film Licence to Kill. Craig looked uncomfortable and puffy, and a middling performance resulted.

Amelia sang Think by Aretha Franklin for her Saturday performance, but the main talking point wasn't how she sang it - viewers were more amused and/or appalled by Tulisa Contostavlos' assertion that this soul classic is not a very well known song. Then they were simply baffled when Kelly Rowland appeared to agree. 

Craig Colton made a shock departure from The X Factor on Sunday night, losing a sing-off against recently reinstated contestant Amelia Lily. Marcus Collins, Little Mix, Janet Devlin, Misha Bryan and Amelia Lily thus form the final five.

With the recent succession of chart topping artists belonging to the UK urban scene, it’s somewhat hard to believe that 11 years ago, such a feat was possible. Long before the likes of Dizzee Rascal, Tinie Tempah and other urban acts began commandeering the charts, UK Black Music back then had yet to fully make its impact on popular music like it does today. Artists such as Beverley Knight, Damage and the late Lynden David Hall were just some of the main attractions of the Black Music scene around that time but even their presence had yet to fully captivate audiences outside of their chosen genres.

Born on May 5, 1981, Craig David grew up Southampton, England and came up through the various club scenes during his teen years as a DJ and emcee. The duo composed of producers/songwriters Mark Hill and Pete Deveraux (both also from Southampton), enlisted David to feature on their underground-turned-mainstream hit “Rewind” which peaked at the number two position in the charts in December 1999. Although his talents may have inevitably blossomed, the teen prodigy arguably owed his first taste of fame to the legendary Garage act The Artful Dodger. “Rewind” would not only provide The Artful Dodger and Craig David with their first mainstream hits, but would also usher in the popular underground genre Garage to the masses for the new millennium.

The Reds recorded a Premier League double over Chelsea last season - and secured three points again as Johnson produced a moment of individual brilliance to clinch victory with three minutes left.

Johnson made his spectacular intervention against his former club just as the points looked set to be shared, taking Charlie Adam's pass in his stride before cutting through the hosts' defence to beat Petr Cech.

The recalled Maxi Rodriguez crowned a sweeping passing move to give the visitors a half-time lead, but Blues boss Andre Villas-Boas looked to have changed the course of the game when substitute Daniel Sturridge equalised after the interval.

Glen Johnson's late winner gave Liverpool victory as Chelsea's indifferent run of form continued.
