"Ti amo" - Gina G

A flamenco-tinged tale of a holiday romance, backed by the BBC's latest attempt to cut down on its laundry bills by putting some sheets on top of fans.

Not a cover of Laura Branigan's song from the "Self Control" album, but the offspring of "La isla bonita" and "All that she wants".

"Fresh" - Gina G

Eurovision is not a career-killer, but you've got to have strong contemporary music and a great personality.

Miss Gardner has both of these, and wears a dress short enough to catch the sun in this sunny spring week; the backing quartet have also come (un)dressed for summer.

The album will reveal Gina's affection for Madonna circa 1986: bright, cheery, bouncy uptempo pop.

"Ooh aah (just a little bit)" - Gina G

It's now ten months since the BBC viewers voted this as their song for Oslo. Although it wasn't Irish enough to win the Eurovision, the song has become a massive international hit - and looks set to race up the American charts in the new year.

Chalk this up as One for the Granddads, who can now drift off for a nap till 3.10.

It's symptomatic that I don't know that song.

I read an article by Brooke Ivey Johnson (a 30-something journo) in the Metro explaining Whasis to those who might never have heard of them. There's only one song discussed, and it isn't even theirs; it's a satire of them.

These Whasis chaps simply aren't known to C21 people for actual music.

Even Gina G gets more C21 recognition, from (e.g.) the #Romania n Cover Song Factory.
