You haven't seen her play at Glasto etc if you think there's no presence. No denying the Kate Bush influence, but that's no bad thing, not trying to be something she's not like Madge, eh?

Also the Machine does exist, but the lineup evolves sometimes, not even her best friend Isa has been a constant presence in the band... Just keep showing how little you know.

You think Madge is 'continually evolving'? More like trying desperately to be 'cool' because her old material doesn't cut it anymore. Compare to someone like Debbie Harry who still tours and hasn't changed a thing, hasn't felt the need to update because her material had a timeless quality that Madonna's never did.

Florence and won't NEED to change or find something else to do because some record company exec tells her it's 'cool', she'll do things HER way and not be brainwashed thank you very much.

Same reasons that even with all the money she's made, she is still humble unlike the overrated insane yank, still even sleeps on a mattress on the floor in her mum's living room (on the rare occasions she's actually AT home, and not working hard or touring).

Compare to Madonna who now she's no longer married to a film director feels the need to grab attention at every opportunity, even adopting 'orphans' not for their good, but for her own PR good (same reason she's doing the Superbowl tomorrow night, a part of the show many are expecting to suck ass, by the way).

So yes, she is still around, but what's the point when she's a shadow of what she was in the 80s? Feel free to keep getting the word wrong too ;)

Well her 'brothers' would say that now, wouldn't they... By those terms, Jordan is also a marketing genius... well, her agent is, but you wouldn't want that skank around these days either, she has to keep pulling little stunts to keep mindless masses happy too.

You won't get rid of Flo (or her peers such as Adele, come to think of it) that easily, not when she had 2 years between albums, returned and was much missed)

No Nicki Minaj (whoever she is, I actually don't know or care), was PAID to say she loves her, probably part of the same record company. Surely being a Madonna fan, you know how sponsorship/whoring works? Thanks for proving one point though, she's only doing anything for attention and cash.

Yes, of course everyone is "paid". same way many peeps will be paid to say they love belch. madonna would never lower her perfect standards to appear on xfactor. so, madonna makes lots o cash... That's just a great business lady. or perhaps you are just bitter because you will never aspire to such greatness. god knows why madonna is apparently v nervous about the superbowl and costume malfunctions, because nobody prepares better, whilst making it look like it took five mins.

Delta Machine, Depeche Mode - buy NOW !!

you ain't gonna like this, but I'm with Viv on this one. Florence and her machine are dreadful, unfortunately anyone can buy music these days including those with no taste which is why her albums do so well. Its also why we have so much bilge in the charts these days

Not impressed with censorship

Seriously, if we all stop comparing everything to Madonna, would the world be a better place? I think so.

Florence has genuine talent, as does Adele, as does loads of artists around at the moment. It's just the not so talented ones that people judge music by, then say that everyone who's in the charts are crap.

Good line up except for florence. there is always that spanner in the works, i guess. i am a bit concerned that hackney want a "handling fee" from listeners. What do we pay licence fee for?!?

Well, I'm guessing that because it's such a bug event, then they need something for handling.If this was any other concert, you wouldn't be moaning. Don't you moan enough about the licence fee? Surely this is so that people who aren't going don't have to pay as much for it as the people who are...:rolleyes:

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
