Commentary: Personally, this song is not my favorite. Don't get me wrong, I
don't have a particular musical genre snobbery. In fact, I count many pops among
my top favorites. I'm always receptive for a catchy, crisp and cute easy song,
so long as there are some melodic merits. This piece, however, is clearly
entirely created for the typical club crowd. That style is invariably mindless,
repetitive and unenchanting. However, the singer is very charming and the
performance was quite excellent for her age. Oh... those Americans
who criticized her English accent are real fine ones to talk!
Shame...
