Has she ever had a Number 1 while solo? If not then it seems this will be her chance.

What solo career. It has basically been a flop. All of them really have done nothing solo wise. Sure they have had number ones that have been 'engineered' by PR people. But as solo acts they have been awful. Mind you so were the Spice Girls

Yep, They all have except Victoria. Emma's #1 was "What Took You So Long" in 2001.

but it is catchy and upbeat and hasn't been covered for ages.

edit: it's playing now...took ages to start.

Why is she so obsessed with 60s style music? She was churning out rubbish like 'I'll Be There' and 'Free Me' (the latter was supposed to be her 'tribute' to John Barry-type Bond themes) four years ago and nobody listened. Stick 'charity' onto it and it will be number one. Depressing. Maybe I can donate to stop her releasing this?

I'll donate £3,99 for that!

What was with her "and my mamma came, and my daddy came, and my sister came..." song :shock:

Thank God. If they did the single it'll probably the worst perfroming Children in Need song ever.

When i first heard she was doing it ihad ny reservations but after hearing the song i quite like it. It will surely be a hit with all the SCD promotion and Emma is quite likeable imo.

Crickets Sing for Annamaria is a classic song - and that was before the Bunton cleaned it up and a bit and made it poppier. Great song.

She can do no wrong in my book, especially when she wears little dresses...

Well I suppose it will be a boost to her support on SCD!
I'll reserve judgement till I hear it.

Good to hear she is supporting the charity in more than one way though. (SCD and the song)
