The next song leaving shouldn't be a surprise for anyone. Released as the 2nd and final single off the ''Catfights & Spotlights'' album, this song only managed to reach #23, making it the Babes' worst-performing 2nd single, and one of their worst-performing songs overall.
Despite being a mess overall, the video of this song is actually good. It features the Babes using some good-looking men as everyday pieces of furniture. Keisha commented on Amelle's behaviour during the shoot:
Quote:
The video was really cool to make but there were a few 'accidents' caused by Amelle. I say 'accidents' because I don't know how many times you can grope someone and call it an accident. Amelle was standing on private parts, touching butts and rubbing abs and saying, 'Oops, sorry I thought that was a leg!' It was hilarious!
She's just like us...
This song is the first really good song leaving for me! I love the song's attitude and the overall vibe. But if it was a good single choice, that's open for discussion... 8/10.

The only release this song saw was as a double A-side to ''Stronger'' (which you guys won't see for a while...) and it reached #7 on the UK charts. Albeit being a double A-side to it, ''Stronger'' was treated as the ''main'' single: it received the most promotion and received a bigger video. This video got a cheap animated Powerpuff Girls video. Meh.
(A definite must-watch are the performances of this song. They're awkwardly amazing.)
The first 15 seconds of this song (the name-dropping) are VERY promising, but it sort of fails to remain that amazing. It's Xenomania on automatic pilot (if that makes sense). Good enough, but 2.0 have much better. 6,5/10.
Released amidst the Christmas chart craze, this was the 2nd single (and title track) from the Babes' 5th studio album. Obviously, this song was chosen as the 2nd single to recreate the success of earlier downtempo 2nd singles (''Too Lost In You'', ''Ugly''). To many fans' dissapointment, this song underperformed, as it only reached #13.
The video actually is rather interesting. It shows beautiful shots of the girls representing the four seasons.
Semi-decent attempt at trying to recreate the magic of 2.0's ballad singles. ''Never Gonna Dance Again'' would have been so much better. 6/10.
Fans of 1.0 (including me) will NOT be satisfied with the following elimination. This song was 1.0's second single in December 2001. Despite the success of debut single ''Overload'', this song only managed to crack the Irish Singles Chart (reaching #25) and the UK Singles Chart (#12).
The video, much like ''Overload'''s video, features the girls doing not much more than singing in front of a white screen. Nothing really interesting.
A true gem. I adore it with all my heart. Should've gone top 15. 9/10.
(Don't get mad at me for thinking ''Run For Cover'' would've been a much better follow-up to ''Overload''...)
Thanks for mentioning this, I got confused but forgot to check...
''No Can Do'' is #24, ''Angels is #23, and #20 is coming up! The last one for tonight.
No that's impossible, we ended with #23 last time, and next one should be #18.

It's still pretty good though.
