Hoosiers - I genuinely liked their last song but this is kind of poor in comparison. It has the same bounce but it seems forced instead of bonkers.
Elvis - HA on the Hits!TV video countdown (YES they show ALL the top 40 videos on a Monday night) they didn't play this one as there was no video! They played all of Phil Collins and everything :)
Freemasons - This is pretty good! Barely any trace of Alanis left, a proper bosh transformation. TICK.
Samanda - I am pleasantly surprised! Ken's bits are all super-vocodered and the beat is proper meaty vweep-vweep. The twins are totally enjoying themselves and are clearly amazed they have managed to get a single out of this. TICK.
Roisin - definitely a tick, Rosheeeen is doing v well at the moment! This is good old fashioned Spiller/Moloko disco-bosh. Not as good as Overpowered, but barely anything is :)
Timbaland - good video but boring song. I still have no compulsion to listen to his album at all, 5 single releases after buying said album.
Wombats - More skiffle. Oh god the words are making me want to claw my eyes out. ARRRRGH.
Nicole - seconded what Lex said above! This is a really good track when she's not shouting 'THANK YOU TO MY SPONSOR SAMSUNG!' in the middle of it. Soppy ballad delivered very well.

Biffy - boring acoustical misery. Uninspiring melody, hits precisely 0 buttons for me.
