A New Decade In Pop: Weeks #1 & #2

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Back by reasonably popular demand, it's the weekly chart polls! Iyaz is the UK's newest #1, and despite humming the chorus all weekend I still keep finding myself calling him 'Jason Iyaz'. If Iyaz ever does a cover of 'I'm Yours' we will be in trouble.

[Poll #1510075]

2004 decade polls will resume later this week.

Iyaz: a solid TICK, as I might have expected from the people behind "Watcha Say". Catchy, and at least as good as anything that his mate Sean Kingston has done. Also, he's technically British, having been raised in the BVI.

Sidney S: borderline tick. I quite like the cute little whistling synth(?) melody in the instrumental bits. Also, the apparent randomness - and indeed pointlessness - of the "Riverside!" exclamations.

Just on Bebo: not as creepy as some have suggested. But the song is boring as hell. NO TICK.

I've ticked Alicia and this is basically the same song as Part I. Since I particularly liked what she brought to that, seems a bit churlish not to tick this Part as well.

Not heard Fat Em and will need some convincing to give it a whirl.
