CHRIST ALIVE THE NICOLE SCHERZINGER SINGLE IS REALLY QUITE BIG SOUNDING

  • October 11, 2010
  • Popjustice

You may well have heard Nicole Scherzinger and/or RedOne banging on about 'Poison', the upcoming banger from the former Pussycat Doll, sometime X Factor judge and generally quite look-at-able clothes-wearer.

Well 'Poison' has sort of half leaked, in bits. Picture, if you can, a song which would sound 5000% better if Lady Gaga was singing it but which still sounds literally amazing with Nicole doing the warbling. Now hold that thought and listen to THIS.

[youtube]8QCmndO3Sto[/youtube] Actually Amazing.

Best bits:
1. Filter house bit.
2. KLF-esque "aha" bit.
4. The "got poison on my mind" bit.

Rubbish bit:
1. "Step into the danger zone."
NB: The above-mentioned rubbish bit will cease sounding rubbish approx­im­ately ten days from now when it has been absorbed into the amaz­ing­ness of the rest of the song.

Top 5 Songs Called 'Poison' Of All Time
1. 'Poison' by Nicole Scherzinger
2. 'Poison' by Alice Cooper
3. 'Poison' by Bell Biv Devoe
4. 'Poison' by Prodigy
5. 'Poison' (Van She mix) by Martina Topley Bird
