Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

Big Bass Vs Michelle Narine:
What You Do
(Playing With Stones)

27 Big Bass vs Michelle Narine – What You Do

Get the synth out for this one as it’s the rare time when a dance track isreleased that I think it’s bloody wonderful. I could listen to this one forquite some time.

JoJo: Too Little Too Late
[The High Road]

22 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 been.

Leona Lewis:
A Moment Like This

1 Leona Lewis – A Moment Like This *3rd Week at No.1*

This year’s X-Factor winner, ergo this year’s Xmas No.1.

It doesn’t matter who’d won, nor what they sang for this single, the mindless sheep have gone out andbought it again, as if they haven’t learned over the years.

“Oh, but she can sing!”, cry those who watch the show religiously. Big deal. So what if she sounds likea cross between Whitney and Mariah Carey, she’s as bland as the pair put together.
