As with most debut acts, a second single will probably go out before the album (wich probably isn't half finished yet). And I think the fireworks will be blown off then.

I´ve finally heard the song and it´s not that bad. Though the PSB original version has more rhythm to dance and the girls´one is sweeter. That´s the difference I find.
Now I´m curious about the video: could it be the 2 girls -as the 2 boys in the original video-fighting for the love of a gorgeous guy??

I can actually imagine a PSB re-recording of the track would sound a bit like West End girls's new version. It's got all those arpeggio stuff that Chris obviously is into theese days. No wonder he likes the track.

So, is the blonde one Chis?

I think this is the cutest thing I've seen for ages. And I'm not only saying that because I'm a PSB fan :roll:

They sing like 12 year olds though. Cute nonetheless.

It would also be very funny if they covered "Opportunities (Let's make lots of money)" "Shameless" and then "Shopping" :P
