A Year In Pop: 8

The Kaiser Chiefs at #1, and a flutter of Fratelli action in the lower reaches of the chart - but we're all about the NEW! ENTRIES! here.

OK, who is Mumm-Ra?

Well, what I like about "Glamorous" is Fergie's bedroom softness in the chorus, and I've never considered Gwen capable of bedroom softness. Fergie's dully pedantic on the verses, but the softness is invitingly there every time the verse lectures end, so an easy tick.

I think it's a poor choice for 3rd single. 'Here I Come' would have been great but NOES we have to have a down-tempo track after 2 bangers.

It's my favourite song on the album!

Gwen comes close on 'The Real Thing' I think, though that's a more longing kind of vulnerability, and she'll never be able to do what Fergie does on 'Glamorous' because she can't really sing. But the shock softness beneath the krazy exterior is effective in much the same way.
