She didn't score number one single; she bought herself to number one... Amazing what daddy can do.

One of the best tunes in the charts for ages. Lovely, synthy music with lots of nice noises. Spot on.

Got nothing against the girl to be honest but the production of the song is pretty weak. When it gets to the choruses you expect something to happen and it doesn't. Kind of agree with Golfman though.... A lot (not all) of NME readers are sooo one dimentional with their music tastes. Open your minds people.....variety is the spice of life!!

I will say one thing for the song, it rhymes in places: money - funny, clear - fear, mother - other, plastic - fantastic, sinner - thinner. But not so much in others: shameless - famous, mirror - winner, and others just have ending with -ion in common.......genius who buys this nursery rhyme cack...hmm I wonder?
