We're nothing if not fair and so we've decided to give you the flip side to Kate Nash's recent foray into the world of Stars In Their Eyes ("Tonight Matthew I'm going to be PJ Harvey"). This is her new single proper and it's called 'Do Wah Doo' and if that's not enough to put you off then here's the video:
The song is catchy enough but the lyrics, once again, are woeful; "I saw a cat, yeah, on a mat, right, and I was like, you're a prat". OK, so that line isn't in the song but you get the feeling it was only left out for being too detailed. It's a shame, because there's something there it just doesn't work when she tries to be The Pipettes.

The BRITS; best bits, shit bits
So, in case you didn't already know (and if you're part of the very small group of international readers, why would you?) the BRIT awards are taking place in a giant shed in London tonight. We've always had a love/hate relationship with these awards and will of course be tuning in, even if it's just to see if the Susan Boyle cameo materialises (we're banking on her dropping from the ceiling caked in fake blood during Lady GaGa's set, but it will more than likely be a duet on Robbie's 'Angels').
To get us in the mood, let's look at some of the performances that have summed up the awards in one way or another.
THE GOOD
Great pop song, cheeky 'mash-up' with another great song and an entrance on a GIANT CD! Hello!
Usually the pairing of two 'superstars' results in things like The Ting Tings and Estelle attempting to muster some stage presence, but this was small scale, bruised and strangely hypnotizing.
These things are all about superstars and you don't get much bigger or better than Beyoncé. She can even make cars levitate!
THE BAD
Dog shit song, dog shit band.
Like being locked in a room with a playschool teacher and his slightly alternative reading assistant.
She emerges from a giant vagina...
THE UGLY
We weren't ready for the Second Coming Michael.

Poor Kate Nash
Dear PJ Harvey,
Today at school we had to make a song that reminded us of our favourite singer. Seeing as I did Lily Allen last time, I figured I'd do a 'tribute' to you seeing as I'm all older and more mature this time round.
I hope you like it.
Love Kate Nash
