This rush to praise her has completely mystified me, whilst someone with quite a bit of talent and a bit of pop nous, like ex-sugababe Siobhan Donaghy seems to been completely overlooked.
She's about as much use to music as her dad was to comedy.

I love The Fear, but that's not what your after, so I won't.
I'll just say you're wrong instead.

As I listen to it now on Sp*tify, I am reminded of latter-day Robbie Williams. Y'know, the songs that don't sell anymore because of the crap rhyming (mirror/winner). The music is pleasant, definitely poppy and well produced. She has a distinctive singing voice but many of her songs are more spoken pieces than your actual belting out a tune.

I can understand why she is popular now, in the same way Kylie was our pop princess yonks ago. I've just got to F**k You and think that's quite enough young lady. Wash your mouth out and try singing a classic song properly. Something from The Sound Of Music.

... who gives good copy. Worth a few dud tunes for that alone.

I can't believe no journalist has called her out on her breathtaking hypocrisy in The Fear.

Marina Hyde dixit.

and sing, instead of that faux breathless whisper thing she does. The Fear has a great hook, (I''m loathe to say 'tune') but it's let down by her dead-pan delivery.

and her voice is pretty run of the mill. Maybe its just me but I can't accept that non musicians can be taken seriously as 'artists'. 'Performers' certainly. I think The Fear is a great pop song but if the her only contribution is the lyrics and the vocal take, then there's simply no way all those column inches celebrating her talent can be justified. I can't play anything mind. Or perform for that matter.

Her song 'Littlest Things' is a cheap splice of the verse of Cat Steven's 'Wild World' and the chorus of Michael Jackson's 'Human Nature'. Hope they got paid some money, though I doubt it.
