Changed days when a Number 11 in the UK charts and 12 Top 10's worldwide is not a success!

maybe that's where the whole thing is going wrong - this idea that liking it enough to buy it somehow equates to thinking its some great musical masterpiece?

presumably no-one here has anything less than musical genius in their record collections?

Ok, so maybe it can be compared to fancying John Prescott after a few lambrini's then?

The song's a bit 'inspirational song by numbers' but Miley Cyrus' original version is okay, not brilliant, but she has an interesting voice.
Joe's the vocal equivalent of sleeping pills and they've sanitized a song that was already pretty middle of the road.

It's all too rushed really. Most singles aren't rehearsed, recorded and produced inside two weeks!

What height do you imagine Joe McElderry will be once he has grown-up? At 14 now, I suppose he does have a few years to reach the height of a normal man.
