Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

JoJo: Too Little Too Late
[The High Road]

6 (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.

Mika: Grace Kelly
[Life in Cartoon Motion]

3 Mika – Grace Kelly

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

Leona Lewis:
A Moment Like This

1 Leona Lewis – A Moment Like This *4th 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.
