Ronson and Winehouse - Now after much grumbling over that Smiths cover I was won over and liked it but surely not this time cos i. it's a Zutons track, albeit an improved one ii. no vulgarity, no spark. Of course it's not awful, it's very well put together and ticks the boxes it wants to, but no tick from me.
I'm only ticking Elvi if I knew them already. Not the case here.
Jack Penate - get this skiffle shit out of the charts pls. Or at least magically make MJ Hibbett famous instead.
Enrique - very superior motorik latin ballad - was looking forward to this one and it hasn't disappointed. Bosh version please! TICK!
Melua - PHrasing still as pertly irritating as ever - the best I can say about this is that it's no "One Million Bicycles".
HSM2 - I'm still quite resistant to the whole HSM thing - interesting phenom, good concept but the tracks never quite do it for me.
Jonny Trunk - is this really only 38 seconds long? Small mercies I guess. Hey dudes its your 99p!
30 Seconds To Mars - young persons etc etc, not very good example of same either. Apparently someone famous is involved.
J-Lo - String-driven R&B sounds a bit....dated? now. Could have been any J-Lo single from any time this decade. It's still good though! Would play at Poptimism. Tick.
Will I Am - YES PLS this is grebt, OK it isn't the cleverest record ever made but nobody is producing pop-hop beats like Will I Am at the moment. Easy tick, best thing here.
Gabriella and Troy - See previous HSM comments, though this is much better and gets a marginal tick.
