Westlife - well I've heard MUCH worse from the 'loife, but the way Shane smirks at the camera whenever he sings ANY line still grates on me, like he could be singing in Mandarin for all he cares.
Elvis - I've always liked this one. Tick.
Koopa - these are those unsigned chaps who are now signed, aren't they? Clearly not signed enough to put more than 30 secs of their new song on Youtube. Uninspiring indie rock.
Robyn - It's Robyn in a box! Lovely electro pop with angry eyebrows.
Craig David - Yay! Great sample, well executed. More comments here (http://community.livejournal.com/poptimists/451313.html). Tick!
Alicia - I saw this on telly a few weeks ago and was unimpressed enough that I can't be arsed to go and look this up again.
Eliot Minor - Oh joy, another band that sounds like The Offspring. Without the sense of humour. However the ska-piano bit in the middle is reasonable but can't save the dirge-y chorus.
Avril - the video to this is bonkers (http://youtube.com/watch?v=8alyqnPyyvI) & well worth a watch. A confusing song this, the chorus and verse seem totally incompatible, really awkward transitions between them. OMG I've just realised she is sounding more and more like Alanis Morrisette! Nowhere near as awesome as 'Girlfriend' but worth a tick, definitely.
Cliff - Awww bless (http://youtube.com/watch?v=cR7mDaV7V1I), Cliff has been stood up for a date so has made use of the studio to make a montage of the 'new recordings' from his album incl an AWESOME version of 'If You're Not The One' by Daniel Bedingfield! The single is rub but I'm going to give him a tick for encouragement as these covers are brilliant.
Cribs - Indie band in failing to make interesting music from standard guitar set-up shocker. Grating vocals, dull melody, EXTREMELY off-putting video. No tick.
