‘Poison’

With Hear Say’s sublime ‘Pure & Simple’ breaking all records known to man, it’s time for the Australian and American pop star wannabes to have a crack. Aussies Bardot are an equally fine proposition, having outlived the TV programme to establish themselves at home and debut in Europe with a cool, sassy number in the All Saints /Sugababes mode. O-Town (from MTV’s Making The Band) are sadly neither cool nor sassy but a less riveting version of N Sync.
