JoJo: Too Little Too Late
[The High Road]

4 (4) JoJo – Too Little Too Late

A straight-forward premise of losing your boyfriend to some complete tart, but a pleasant rhythm and abacking track with some good bass and clever phrasing in the music leads to a song that towers above mostteen-pop fare.

JoJo could turn out to be the solo artist that Geri Halliwell wishes she could’ve beenafter her career stalled and then went into freefall.

Mika: Grace Kelly
[Life in Cartoon Motion]

1 (1) Mika – Grace Kelly *2nd Week at No.1*

He looks a bit weird and he sounds like Freddie Mercury. He’ll go a long way.
