Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

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

35 (34) 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.

Cascada:
What Hurts The Most
[Perfect Day]

38 (28) 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!

Girls Aloud: Call The Shots
[Tangled Up]

33 (29) 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.

Duffy: Mercy
[Rockferry]

1 Duffy – Mercy *1st Week at No.1*

They say she’s the new Dusty Springfield but it certainly doesn’t work for me.For those whom it does, check out the following clips:
