Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

6 Jennifer Ellison – Baby I Don’t CareThe Scouse mouth left the near-dead Brookside soap for a chart careerand her first single is a cover version of the dire 1989 hit single fromTransvision Vamp – quite apt that a fake blonde with a fake tan should covera track by the same.

This cover version is pretty dull too in comparison.

1 (1) Evanescence – Bring Me To Life *3rd Week at No.1*
