New entries from No.41-75 :
[JLS]
X-Factor runner-ups from last year and, it’s at this point where I’d say how much I hate it, but as a basic popsong it’s not actually too bad. It’s got quite a well-structured tune, even if it doesn’t do anything to break new ground.

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

Meet Me Halfway
[The END]
Meh.

Fight For This Love
[3 Words]
Fight for this love? Erm… she’s just split from Cashley Cole!
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.

[The Fame Monster]
Ridiculous video. Ridiculous song. What a load of junk.
Mediocre pretty-boy pop.
[Ocean Eyes]
Autotuned all the way up its own ass, the end result isn’t bad but it isn’t going to win any awards, either.
Everybody Hurts
I’ve given money directly to the cause already and if I do some more then I’ll do the same again. I won’t be buying thisturgid crap. In fact, I have to rush to turn over the TV channel when it comes on. I don’t want Cowell’s karaokechicken-in-a-basket-style entertainers Leona and Leona II murdering a classic. I could fart a better version!
