Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

George Michael: Flawless
[Patience]

8 George Michael – Flawless (Go to the City)

I liked Amazing, but this just takes the 2001 hit from The Ones and addswaffling vocals over the top. How did he manage to get away with that?

Stick with the original.

Girls Aloud: The Show

2 Girls Aloud – The Show

Like the Spice Girls’ first single from their second album, this does come across asrather similar. That is… until you see the video, which really does not go with thesong at all.

I’ll give them up until one more single past Xmas and that’ll be the end of them.

Usher: Burn
[Confessions]

1 Usher – Burn *1st Week at No.1*

Pass.

This is the 8th new single to go straight in at No.1 in a row:

  • 1. Usher – Yeah!
  • 2. McFly – Five Colours in Her Hair
  • 3. Eamon – Fuck It
  • 4. Frankee – FURB (Fuck You Right Back)
  • 5. Mario Winans – I Don’t Wanna Know
  • 6. Britney Spears – Everytime
  • 7. McFly – Obviously
  • 8. Usher – Burn
