[chezghost.livejournal.com]

Sugababes 'Red Dress' came top in the March poll which seems like a good thing even though it's a track from a 2005 album and was re-recorded with the rub new one. No time to muse on that much further though as it's time for the next lot - will it be an April shower of sh1te? judging by the list below, not quite - some real corkers here: [Poll #739256]

Lex, where do _you_ stand on "S.O.S." and other American R&B artists taking inspiration from contemporary British pop stylings rather than ye olde rappers?

potentially classic obv - Brooke Valentine's 'Blah Blah Blah' and Christina Milian's 'I Can Be That Woman' are probably the best efforts so far, though I'd argue that Milian's coming from more of a French house angle (obv r&b taking cues from house and electro = best thing evah). Neither of the 'Tainted Love' samples have been as good as that though - Kiley Dean's 'So Caught Up' is actually a bit crap, she's completely overwhelmed by the sample. Rihanna is less at its mercy but still doesn't quite make the song her own.
