is U2's latest single just plain annoying? I just finished listening to Radio 1's Official UK Top 40 Countdown, Bono & Co. went in at number four. I was baffled... I mean don't get me wrong, I like U2. They really are a great band and all but that doesn't mean any composition of tones they make should be a hit! Go head and give yourself a listen to "All Because of You." I suppose now I know how Bono managed to score all that support for his charity works... he must've whined and whined in that tone of voice he uses on the single. Anyone within a block radius would instantly grant his wish as long as he would stop!
Ooh, I just got a premonition: I see U2 fans thrashing my blog...
Still on the UK top 40, the Sugababes managed to withstand Robbie's "Tripping" as Keisha, Heidi, and Mutya hold on at the top for the third consecutive weeks. Pas mal... pas mal du tout!
At number fourteen though... the girl formerly known as "the girl from STEPS, no... not the blonde one, the other one" came in with "Electric." Lisa Scott-Lee finally released her single after the much-publicized MTV show where she famously stated her retirement from the music biz if this single didn't enter the top ten. Well, well... I suppose this is goodbye then. There's nothing to be missed though because there's a line between kitsch-campy cool and just plain campy. "Electric" managed to be the latter fabulously, by the time you got to the chorus you'd be wondering if you were listening to the top 40 in CampyMusickistan, right off the border from UsedToBeInAFamousPopGroupLand.
