Things that hurt our ears...

Seriously, no, seriously. Click above at your peril. On the left we have Mika and RedOne (a pairing devised in hell) with a song that puts Pat Benatar's "Love Is A Battlefield" through a filter of Little Boots' "Remedy". It's not necessarily a bad song, but Mika's literally screeching falsetto is quease-inducing and his enunciation is so 'over-zealous-stage-school-brat' it brings the vom to your throat.

On the right we have Justin Beaver, who we were going to completely ignore up until this point. His past releases have been banal, predictable and contrived, but then what would you expect from this generation's answer to Aaron Carter (!?). But this, THIS. This is a new low. It features THAT chord sequence (you'll know the one) and a chorus composed almost entirely of the word 'baby'. We try never to be snobbish about pop (well obviously) but this really is unquestionably dire.

Sorry to ruin your day but we needed to 'take a stand'.
