I wouldn't give it either, personally. More of something in the middle, but I've voted yay.

A HUGE yay from me.
It's a great cover of what i think is one of the best pop songs, atleast from 2007.

Yay from me as well

Was slightly dubious about it before I heard it, but now I love it. It could only be improved my getting GLC to do the rap bit

Was hoping a poll would pop up. I voted Yay. People take themselves far too seriously these days...

I voted a yay too! Wasn't really fond of the song after it being over played so much last year but they have given it a new lease of life and I'm up for this being played at the NME gig.
