Of this week’s highlights and lowlights…

Girls Aloud:
I Think We’re Alone Now
[The Sound Of…]

4 (50 CH) Girls Aloud – I Think We’re Alone Now

They quoted this as being a cover of the Tiffany song… Yes, and she didthe original, didn’t she(?)

It’s also a very pedestrian cover version, with no inflection in the voicethat was present in Tiffany’s cover.

Leona Lewis:
A Moment Like This

1 Leona Lewis – A Moment Like This *1st 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.
