    CHOON #totp

    I’m a sucker for a duet where the bloke takes the high line in the harmony. As anyone who’s heard me singing in my folk duo with Emily Eastwood could probably guess :) #totp

    CHOON. Absolutely awful, sure, but definitely a CHOON #totp

    Seventies #totp not showing itself to best advantage this week.

    This sounds like the sort of song that Victoria Wood could absolutely skewer if she chose to. #totp

    Oh… the non consensual anal sex song is back. #totp

    Another from Diddy’s personal collection? #totp

    Utterly unstoppable CHOOON even despite the bonkers video. And the gratuitous cover klaxon #totp

    Not Olivia Newton John’s finest work either. #totp

    I saw the Fureys at The Mean Fiddler in the early nineties. Someone tried to pick a fight with one of ‘em after the gig and damned near got glassed by them. #totp

    Hmm… not the Fureys &amp; Davey Arthur’s finest work. #totp

    @u0421793@toot.pikopublish.ing yup. Very professional links, enough of his character in them but taking the job seriously. #TOTP

    I think this might be peak Spice Girls though. #totp

    Introducing the Spice Girls with a list of herbs and saying you know what you like is definitely a very Julian Clary move #totp

    Mate, shouting your vocal doesn’t make it more authentic or soulful. It just show’s you’re not even half the singer Gabrielle is. Or even half the singer Jimmy Nail is, for that matter. #totp

    Yeah, yeah, actor turned singer without being Kylie, so clearly not great. But I reckon Jimmy Nail’s surprisingly decent. I mean, ffs, this is *not* an easy vocal line for starters and he’s hitting it hard and accurately. #totp

    Surprisingly effective camouflage top on Ms. Braxton. #totp

    Play… err… there’s got to be something, hasn’t there? Err… Nope, I got nothing. #totp

    Did they nick this from Shania Twain? #totp

    This is certainly limp. #totp

    I rather liked the last Alice Deejay track. This one seems to have had all the character leeched out of it. Dreary as fuck. #totp

    Fucksake. The only thing that ever made made Oasis tolerable was Liam’s vocals. Clearly for all he gets on my tits, he has way better taste than Noel ‘cos he left this one the fuck alone. #totp

    Oh, do fuck off Gallaghers. #totp

    Though you do get the feeling the producer said “We want your best Jamiroquai impression” #totp

    Dunno who this bloke is, but I prefer his voice to that of that other Craig who worked with the Artful Dodger. #totp
