Ready For The Weekend
[Ready For The Weekend]
Meh! Might sound good if you’re coked off your bonce in a nightclub at the… erm… weekend, but on a weeknight, sober, it’s meh!

When Love Takes Over
Zzzz… how did this get to No.1?
Click here to listen to the song. It’s not the video
Boom Boom Pow
[The END]
Boom Boom Pow? More like Zzzz Zzzz Snore!
Click here for the video
[Evacuate The Dancefloor]
I’d rather evacuate my bowels than listen to this.
[The Fame]
I’d probably poker in the face, but I wouldn’t choose to listen to this tedious excuse for music.
Note that the video link below goes via Youtubeproxy.com so you’ll be able to view the video from within the UK.

Never Leave You
What a tedious pile of shite. How the hell did this get to No.1?
[La Roux]
Managing to knock any chance of Michael Jackson hitting the top slot into a cocked hat, this single actually comesfrom the daughter of Trudie Goodwin, aka Sgt June Ackland in The Bill.
The song itself is pretty good, actually. However, for that haircut she should be nicked!

[Tongue N Cheek]
It’s not Madonna.
Click here to see the video
[JLS]
Pop music by numbers.

Boys And Girls
[Turn It Up]
Cheesy, forgettable pap pop.

Run This Town
[The Blueprint 3]

Sexy Bitch
[One Love]
Zzzzz….
Click here to see the video
I Gotta Feeling
[The END]
Hmm… starts off tedious and repetitive… and just gets worse from there.
“Let’s do it, let’s do it, let’s do it, do it, do it.” No, let’s not.

Break Your Heart
[Rockstarr]
The song’s a bit “Meh” but the girl in the video’s cute.
Click here to see the video
[I Am Chipmunk]
Tedious crap rap.
Click here to see the video
[Reality Killed the Video Star]
Oh dear. Not a strong song by any stretch of the imagination, and when he was on X-Factor recently, he proved he can’tsing live for shit!

[Overcome]
Leona-lite wails away about how exciting it is to be with bad boys… Yawn.
