I don't get that Nero song; it's pure shite.
Can't believe there's no 'Call my Name' on there.

Also, why'd they pick 'Power and Control' over something like 'Primadonna' or 'Radioactive.' If they'd down that, though, there probably woud've been no competition. I would also have thrown a nomination along AlunaGeorge's way for any of their singles released in the past year.

A lot of the songs on here sounded great on first hearing them but have now faded into mediocrity, i.e. Little Mix, One Direction, Lawson.

Anyway, The Saturdays to win. 'All Fired Up' is pretty fucking amazing.
