You know a song has taken over the nation when every tom, dick and Harry starts covering it. Bleeding love is seemingly the new umberella.
British singer-songwriter Jamie Scott has taken to covering it, and this video is the most watched on youtube today or something. In your face, Chris Crocker.
I've always had a bit of a soft spot for Jamie although his newer material isn't as strong as his older. Still, he has a voice to die for and a face to fuck for.
Here is his cover of bleeding love:

I Need A Little Edge With My Electro Pop
You would be forgiven for not knowing Darren Hayes had a new single out this week, but he does... and it's a bit of a good un.
The second single from his fantastically epic 'This Delicate Thing We've Made' album is 'Me, Myself And (I)' and is about... well, the title sort of gives it away. It is an amazing slice of electro pop, but unfortunately looks set to chart on the more Dragonette end of the chart rather than the Robyn end.
Not content with just making a good single, the man has also done a pretty fabby video. It's quite an achievement considering he runs his own label, whereas Girls Aloud churn out shit video after shit video and thats with a major label backing them. (All the money is spent on make up. Without it, they look like rottweillers)
So here is Darren's new video. It can be summed up in two words: WOO HOO!

An X You Won't Hate
Fresh from surviving cancer, mediocrity and diminishing sales Kylie Minogue is back... and this time it's wow.
Well, at least one of the new songs is and that song is called... wow! Coinkydink? It's no surprise this song is so amazing. After all, it was written by the legendary Karen Poole who is responsible for some of the greatest pop classics this side of the Vengaboys. Here is wow as performed on the Kylie show.
If Kylie ever wants to give up the singing, she could always try out comedy, Some of the sketches from the show were pantwettingly funny:
But back to the album X. It does sound like it's going to be a bit of a corker, with other fab songs like 'No more rain' and 'The one' up there with Kylie's best. At least there will be enough songs for us gays to dance to all Christmas long!

They Put The Gay In Factor
Finishing my x factor trilogy in a way more disappointing than threequels such as "(In Hollywood, no one can hear you say we don't want another)Scream 3", "Austin Powers in Beyoncé'smember" and "I've actually forgotten what you did last summer but I'll kill you anyway", I give you Same Difference.
Same Difference are a brother and sister duo in the same way Jack and Meg White from the White Stripes might possibly be brother and sister. Don't expect any seven nation armies from these gays though. THIS is what they do:
Jake Shears is turning in his grave (He sleeps in one)
If Disney are looking for a replacement for Vanessa Hudgens in High School Musical 3, I don't think Sarah will be getting her minge out in a hurry. Here's what they would be like... although to be fair, Disney would probably be writing a song that sounds identical to 'Breaking free' but has a different title:
And yet, I love them. I think they would have a shelf life shorter than a frozen turkey with bird flu if they won, but still. How amazing would it be if they did?

No babies were harmed during the making of this blog
Continuing part two of my X Factor past present and future trilogy, I give you Shayne Ward. Not literally, cos he would probably jack you for your bling.
His last single featured the immortal line "I'm gonna thank your mother just for giving you birth". His new single continues the vagina popping theme with the line "If we had babies..."
Surely a man so obsessed with childbirth isn't getting any action in the sheets! (He's probably more of a woods man anyway).
Sony BMG have wisely changed the album from being a concept album called 'Babies and cunts' and have called it 'Breathless' instead which coincidentally is also the name of the new single which you can hear here...
There is a video but it hasn't made it on to youtube yet. It's probably full of placentas anyway:
He could be the UK's equivalent to Justin Timberlake... if Justin was shit.

She's no Steve Brookstein
Let me introduce you to a little known artist called Leona Lewis. She's like Mariah Carey but with darker skin, smaller boobs (Give her a year) and bigger teeth!
She comes from Hackney which is the UK's equivalent to the Bronx - sex, drugs and chicken shops being robbed. Classy.
Her debut album is out this week and has so far sold 17 billion copies. It is on course to be the first album in history to be included in the Bible. In fact, an entire country, nay planet is to be named after Leona herself!
That's right, folks. Leona mania has taken over!
So is the album any good?
Well, it's not bad but it's hardly a classic like Michael Jackson's 'Thriller' or Michelle McManus' 'The meaning of love'.
For those of you who haven't seen it yet (All two of you), here is the video to 'Bleeding love' which in fairness is so amazing, all other singers should give up making music (I'm talking to you, Westlife)
Other songs on the album you should check out include 'Homeless' which is so beautiful, it could break the coldest person's heart... apart from homeless people who probably think Leona is a cunt; and 'Footprints in the sand' which is also pretty nifty.
This time next year, Leona will be Queen, Prime Minister and Saviour.
