I read somewhere that it utilises a sample from Mambo No. 5 - that said, I can't hear it myself, except that it's based on a similar Latin rhythm I don't think they sound at all similar

Me too, saying that though, I hope it does well for her.

I love Alesha but I don't think the song is very good. She needs better writers.

Nice woman, good dancer, annoying song (not up to 'Scandalous' standards), very poor lyrics, embarrassingly bad/boring video - hate the way the 'if a man can't dance' chant peters out at the end. What happened to her distinctive rapping? - that was always a highlight of a MisTeeq song.

I love TBDN, it's a fun song. I've preodered her album and I can't wait for it!

It isn't released yet!

I think it will do very well, it is catchy. I found it quite annoying at first but it is the sort of thing that will grow on you - a bit like that one Lily Allen did a couple of summers ago which everyone went around humming even though it annoyed them.

What is more, Alesha's new song is very apt for some people and she is great so I think it will be a hit.

It`s not my cup of tea but I hope it does well for her.......according to Chris Moyles, the radio 1 DJ, he`s going to climb Mt Kilimanjaro in February 09 with Alesha;Cheryl Cole;Kimberly;Rownan Keating;Gary Barlow and few others whose names I cant remember, in order to raise money for comic relief.

Have to agree with you, Moloko. The performance was fantastic but the song's second verse is miles too long. It's basically a novelty single. Where is the edge?

On second or third hearing, it's even more irksome than I remember it.

I guess this is why I listen to 6 Music.

Well I liked it on SCD & thanks for the reminder; actually I shall go & download it from itunes onto my ipod as soon as I can!
I'll go & have a shuftie now to see if it is available, as not sure what all these technical terms are all about tbh .
(I'm only guessing one can download it from itunes now but not sure about why the single isn't out till Sat? Do you mean the actual CD hard copy is n't avilable till then ). Why do they release them all at different times now? Seems odd.

shes got tough competition. Shes up against Leona, Britney, Christina, the x factor single, Girls aloud and Beyonce.
I hope she does well but even top 10 or 20 would be great since she's up against all them singers.

It's now at number 5 on itunes. With all the big songs also released recently, that's a very good result for her.

The song isn't really my cup of tea but the chorus is so damn catchy that I end up listening to it over and over anyway.

I didn't like it when I first heard it, but I watched the pro dance to it a couple of times and then it got stuck in my head! So I bought it!

Me too, but perhaps if she were to do another promo on SCD Saturday night in an even shorter dress..........
