I'm of the opinion that Powerless gets WAY too much hate. Yeah, it's rednecky, yeah it's ethnic to the max and really not conducive to a big comeback, and it was a dubious choice for lead single, but it's a nice song that really underpeaked considering how much airplay it got. And don't get me started on chart injustices from this album; I'll never stop. Mo' to come from this lady.
I'm of the very offensive opinion that Aaliyah just retroactively ripped off Ciara. More Than A Woman, however, is an absolute tune. Hence inclusion etc.
Let us clear this one up. I have VERY LITTLE TIME for the Sugababes pre-Amelle. The singles tended to be very hit-and-miss (contrary to the rest of the world, I was never all that fussed over Round Round). Hole In The Head however is sleek, foxy, and really represents what the Sugababes were supposed to be best I feel. Not to say I don't love their other material (and indeed, they have another entry on this chart (and no, it isn't Girls) later on), but HITH will go down as a BBZ classic. Not to mention it being one of the few things worth bothering about in the musical desert that was 2003.
UNDENIABLE CLUB SMASH. Pass That Dutch made the already spectacular Mean Girls about three times as good. I would also like to have this track playing as I walk down corridors with my bitchy friends thx.
Born To Make You Happy is classic mid-tempo throwaway pop balladry at its best. This must be recognised as fact.
