Good Will, Umm, Something.
If you click here you'll be able to listen to Will Young doing a cover of Outkast's Hey Ya, and we strongly urge you to do so as it's rather fab. We've been reassessing our opinion of Will recently , we originally put him in the cupboard marked "Dull, big-chinned singer who wouldn't know a good pop tune if it came up and shook him by the hand wearing a t-shirt bearing the slogan 'I'm a good pop tune'" (We have very wide cupboards at TiaPL towers). In there he only had Bruce Forsyth for company, and Bruce's presense was more of a preemptive strike to be honest. After hearing Leave Right Now we began to suspect that there might actually be some talent lurking there, however, there was a certain Dido-esque element to the tune, so we weren't too sure about offering Will the full weight of our support. That was until we heard Your Game, a piece of widescreen pop so fantastic it makes us want to swallow our pride, admit we were wrong and say "Hell, we want to get his album". Will is ace, and has not only been set free from the cupboard of rubbishness, but also added to the list of The 117 Acest Things in the World...Ever as an apology.
Will, we salute you, but we still won't forgive you for the incredibly dire Evergreen, no matter how ace your new stuff may be.
