Blatant close-up of her boobs aside

It's a strange choice for a cover though, and the preview sounds like she hasn't deviated from the original all that much either which isn't a good idea.

But then I liked "Living Without You" even thought it completely tanked so i'll reserve judgement on this until I hear the full version.

I loved Living Without You and found it quite the underrated gem, but this just does nothing for me. The Shanks & Bigfoot original sounded much better and actually fresher, and whilst it got to #1 in 1999, I seriously can't see this doing well.

Also who is directing her music videos? The Living Without You one was toe-curlingly bad and this doesn't look much better. Still it's nice to see her back, I thought she would have been dropped after LWY missed the top 40.

Her career took a huge nose dive in the last five years didn't it.

Thought she would be the new Cheryl the year she mentored Little Mix.

I kinda think this COULD work for her. I sort of hope so. I was never her biggest fan but she can sing at least. Which is a rarity these days XD

Is that an aspiration?

It's utter crap. I wasn't really a fan of the original Shanks & Bigfoot track, but it was a lot better than this at least, with superior production and vocals.

I'll never understand why Tulisa messed with her face. I thought she was gorgeous.
The song/cover is shite.

The thing is, since hearing that she's doing this, I've been playing the original and it's bloody stuck in my head.

Anyway our Tulisa's version is out tomorrow. Hope y'all got your 99 cents at the ready

I hope she does well this time. I too loved LWYL and don't get why it bombed when Young slayed?

I feel bad for saying it but I think with some singers that after they get some bad press people just get fed up with them and they can't come back from it.

Hasn't she laid off the fillers yet? You'd think she's learn her lesson.

This is the full song - don't know how long it'll last. Not too keen on it really. It's not a patch on Living Without You.

More of a re-working than an actual out and out cover as well.

I kinda feel it'd go top 15 with an X Factor performance

Why did she have to mess with her face?! She reminds me of Jodie Marsh now.

Top 15 would be about right i think. It's a fun video but still doesn't really sell me on the song overall. It doesn't have that 'club banger' feel about it. You could easily imagine "Living Without You" in a club, but this one you can't.

LOL. The fact that the comment section has been disabled on a simple music video says it all.
