Tulisa's New Song and Video

Hello. I've had the most lovely day today. It has involved Nando's, shopping, sunshine and a Range Rover Evoque. Ideal. I've just come home to see a whole load of tweets about Tulisa's new video (and no it's not another naughty one...!) for her debut solo single We are Young which aired for the first time this morning on Radio 1. Having sat through the full 3 minutes and 40 seconds I have come to the following conclusions:

1. Her singing voice is even more irriating than her normal speaking voice. It still comes across manly, husky and deep even when singing.

2. The tattoo she has on the back of her shoulder looks like a massive blob and is absolutely vile.

3. The silver foil-resembling dress that she wiggles around in is also absolutely vile.

4. In fact most of the outfits she wears throughout the video are vile. Sack the stylist.

5. I need a holiday. Preferably to L.A.

6. Her tan is incredible. This makes me dislike her even more.

7. She's obviously got some kind of deal with Barry M, what with the close-up of their lipgloss and nail varnishes. Cringe.

8. She really needs to drop this "Female Boss" title that she has for herself. I for one can't take any more of it.

9. Overall it is an ok song, which I'm sure after a few more listens I'll be loving. Awkward for me.

10. I want a pet baby goat.


All in all the video basically shows her stood at the side of a road waiting to be picked up by her friends who are in a convertible, she then waves her arms in the air like everyone does in the back of said car, steals a goat, breaks in to a posh hotel-suite, has a pillow fight, takes a dip in the ocean, has a Barry M makeover, goes to some kind of art exhibition, graffiti's over a painting, has a bit of a party and then crashes out... It's not exactly the best video I've ever seen... But having said all of that I much prefer it to the one that was leaked of her earlier in the week.. Awks. The lyrics also seem rather appropriate to the earlier sex tape scandal with Tulisa singing "Forgive me for what I have done, cause I'm young, yeah I'm young." Hmm, just a pure coincidence or maybe it's a cheap PR stunt. Either way I'll let you make up your own mind on that one, but I reckon you can guess what I make out of it! And of course, these are only my opinions, so why not go and have a watch yourself and see what you make of it...

P.S. Having now listened to the song about 4 times whilst analysing the video I'm already starting to enjoy it. BUGGER! Next thing you know I'll be downloading it and playing it whilst I put my Barry M lipgloss on..
