| Artist: | Jenny Frost: the thinking man's Kitten of choice. | Lisa Scott-Lee: the unthinking A&R man's Rachel Stevens. |
| Age: | 27, making her old enough to know better by about eleven years. | Lisa Scott-Lee will be thirty years old next month. :o |
| Song: | 'Crash Landing' (watch video here). | 'Electric', apprently written by Guy Chambers. Guy is on fire at the moment, having written for Bryian McFadden, Melanie C and Speedway. |
| Score on the desperationometer: | 87% | 100% |
| Big-name record label: | All Around The World, home of LMC, N-Trance and Ultrabeat. Note please that Jenny is clearly an 'artist' and is not simply Some Bird Fronting A Dance Record. | Concept Music - home of acts as diverse as Phixx and Andy-Scott Lee, ie pretty much a clearing house for Nathan 'Spunky Moped' Moore's ill-advised managerial decisions. |
| Marketing genius! | 'Crash Landing' is available on a limited edition 12" picture disc. CLEAR A PATH TO THE TOP THREE! | In a novel twist, 'Electric' has been promoted by exposing Scott-Lee's desperation to hundreds of thousands of people who want to see her cry a lot. |
| How hard are they prepared to work to get this off the ground? | You have surely already seen the millions of interviews surrounding this release. | Noted Lisa, two weeks ago: "I had the day off on Thursday and I was knackered after GMTV and working really hard, so I just pottered around the house, doing some tidying up and some washing." |
| Questionable lyric: | "I'm rising from the ashes like a phoenix from the flames." | "I?ll buzz like a vibrator, an energy creator" OR "I can?t resist it it?s all over warranty expired" OR "Duracell got nothing on me" OR "Jack me up feeling the E" (!!!) OR "Feel me, I?m unprotected" OR "Watch out in case I short circuit". |
| Additional data: | The money spent on this song's video could have fed an underprivileged child for more than half a lunchtime. | It's odd, is it not, how almost everyone in Totally Scott-Lee seems really rather nice and sane. |
| In conclusion: | At least she's managed to get a record out at all. Where are the amazing solo careers of Liz, or that other one who was in Atomic Kitten no not Kerry you know the other one who looked like Liz? | Ace fansite Generation Steps reports that only 8000 of the copies in stores this week will be chart eligible. Rachel Stevens got to Number 12 this week by selling 6,000. |
