    Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

    Craig David: Hot Stuff
    [Trust Me]

    61 (58) Craig David – Hot Stuff

    His first single in a long time takes David Bowie’s wonderful 1983 classicLet’s Dance and rapes it for all it’s worth.

    Fuck Craig David and fuck his shitty music and just play the original.Compare the two:

    Craig David – Hot Stuff

    David Bowie – Let’s Dance

    Scouting For Girls:
    She’s So Lovely
    [Scouting For Girls]

    33 (35) Scouting For Girls – She’s So Lovely

    Love this song, and the hottie in the video is a model called Louise Glover (google for her images, butnot from work!).

    See the video here.

    Kylie Minogue: 2 Hearts
    [X]

    22 (21) Kylie Minogue – 2 Hearts

    Her comeback single with a Marilyn Monroe look and… well, it’s okay butfar from outstanding.

    Click here to see the video

    Cascada:
    What Hurts The Most
    [Perfect Day]

    15 (13) Cascada – What Hurts The Most

    The dance remix of this track really works well, given that the original wasby Celebrity Big Brother racist scum Jo O’Meara from S Club 7 as her dreadfulattempt to restart her solo career.

    Well worth a listen!

    Sugababes: About You Now
    [Changes]

    13 (12) Sugababes – About You Now

    Not a bad track, but they’ve done better. Still, at least it stopped Shayne Wardgetting to No.1.

    Girls Aloud: Call The Shots
    [Tangled Up]

    7 (7) Girls Aloud – Call The Shots

    Very mediocre track that doesn’t know whether it should actually get goingor not. In the end, it doesn’t.

    Leon Jackson:
    When You Believe

    1 Leon Jackson – When You Believe *3rd Week at No.1*

    The X-Factor winner and although I never bother watching past the auditionstages, this song really is a load of absolute dirge. Why would anyone buy it?

    All you mugs who have done would’ve bought the single by ANY of the threefinalists (who included Rhydian and Same Difference), no matter WHAT they sang.

    Have you no shame?
