Can't forget things you never said- The Singles Review 17/09/2006

Big Brovaz- Big Bro Thang
The comeback nobody was asking for. There's something creepy about Big Brovaz. They seem to want to be a So Solid Crew that your grandmother doesn't find upsetting. Which in the past has led to Sound of Music samples, use of songs on Halifax adverts and the firing of members with drug habits. It's the last single they'll probably release (it's doubtful it'll scrape into the top 40), so it might be Big Historical Moment Of History. But it's not.
4/10

Janet & Nelly- Call On Me
You want a comeback, Ms. Jackson? It's going to take more than a third rate rapper (who's so not even the best Nelly in hip-hop anymore. Hell, even Nellie McKay made more of an impact on the genre than he has) and a song that NeYo would reject on the terms of it being too dull. I have no idea why he's calling on her. But i'm quite sure I never want to hear this song again.
2/10- Worst Single of the Week

Pussycat Dolls- I Don't Need A Man
In their attempt to get more songs off a debut album than Razorlight did, the 'Dolls' release their best song yet. Which means that it's still crap, only less so than before. Congratulations Larry, you've mastered the single entendre.
5/10

The Killers- When You Were Young
Here's a rule for all upcoming bands that use a synthesiser- you can't do epic strings on a Casio. It just doesn't work. "He doesn't look a bit like Jesus". Stick a fake beard on the fucker, draw on some stigmata with a red pen, you're all set. The first half of Hot Fuss was one of 2004's best mainstream albums. This is a massive disappointment
4/10

The Zutons- Oh Stacey
Valerie was actually quite massive, and the lack of hype surrounding this is surprising (especially since the video's brilliant). Still, The Zutons need to go innovate unless they want album three to sink.
6/10

The Automatic- Recover
Any other week, this would have been the third or fourth best single of the week. It's not as catchy as Monster or Raoul and the album has far better tracks on it. But compared to everything else coming out this week, it sticks out like a shouty, electronic thumb.
7/10- Single of the Week
