With brand new Britneys out of five!
Sam & Mark – The Sun Has Come Your Way
I want to stick up for Sam and Mark cos they do seem to get a lot more meanness than they deserve. OK so they’re not the most original or exciting pop stars in the world but they’re nice boys and there’s music a lot worse out there. This song sounds a bit like A1 and is catchy and summery and the video is quite sweet although a little embarrassing. My favourite part is Sam’s “Mind the badger!”
Javine – Best Of My Love
This is actually a really cool, catchy song but is ruined by the rubbish video. It’s not even an amusing unintentional parody of J-Lo like Real Things, it’s just really rubbish. And her style hasn’t imporved since Surrender – in fact it’s got worse.
JC Chasez – All Day Long I Dream About Sex
I absolutely hated this song on first listen, but in the context of the album I see it’s genius. The problem is that very few people in England have the album or even have any idea of who JC is and what he’s all about. This super-cool yet raunchy (in a funny way…though still a bit pervy) video and the not exactly Gran-friendly song is either going to make JC a massive star or the king of the dumper. I’m hoping for the former but sadly expecting the latter.
