Mariah - girliest song ever! tinkling music box coming in and out of the mix is lovely, the whole thing is a big plush cushion of a song. "I will hunt u down" is the best vocal bit, seductive and threatening at the same time. "I'mma treat u like a teddybear, u won't wanna go nowhere" is almost as hilarious as the YouTube bit.
Fragma - well the og was good obv, but I am vaguely opposed to exhuming ancient dance tracks for unnecessary chart action 10 years on though and haven't heard the remix
NO
Kooks - I thought they were meant to be an indie band plus big pop hooks? Where is the big pop hook in this lumpen mess?
Radiohead - goes nowhere, does nothing, Yorke even whinier than usual, kind of unlistenable, aural equivalent of common cold
Hmm, looks like my favourite is the least popular song again. But then again, 'Always Where I Need To Be' reminds me of the View, and I know most of you hate the View.
Radiohead's last song AND this one are like his dog has died. How can anyone listen to that whine?
The others are kind of forgettable. Toca's Miracle is a mess compared to the original. Courteeners is OK in an Arctic Monkeys-lite kind of way.
