But we're not. 'My Man' is a complete U-turn from the X Factor winner's song/showtune hybrid Ewen trilled in Moscow earlier this year. It's a sassy R&B club banger on which she pledges devotion to a man who sounds almost too good to be true - he's not just "seductive" and "irresistible", but "intellectual" too apparently. Ewen reckons this is the real her, Lloyd Webber says it's "very contemporary pop", and we'd slip a "good" in front of the "contemporary" to complete his assessment.

Emilia: It says the song was Xfactor winner style :) You're right it was Andrew Lloyd Webber's show :)
It says her eurovision song is X-factor-winner-ish... if that makes sense? She has one AMAZING VOICE and as Mutya herself has said she has a better voice than Heidi and Amelle and if anything will be fronting the band. So there everyone calling her a 'wannabe'... although true she is NO SUGABABE... she can do so much better!
Emilia, it says "xfactor winners song/showtune hybrid", it's not saying she is an x-factor winner, just that her Eurovision song was similar to that style of song. Anyway, great song, shame she's a sugababe, I'd rather see her as a solo artist.
It says in the review that Jade is an X-factor winner? Is this true? Perhaps its just me but I though she did that Andrew Lloyd Webber thing on the BBC? Correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, the song is a nice change. I like it.
Wow i heard it on radio a couple of months back and i had no idea who sang it when i found out i was sooo surprised!! unbelivably catchy especially 'he got he got ...'! Go Jade!! She isnt that good to join the sugababes sorry the sugababes are WOW!!
haha nice to see that all the people who are slating her are probably die hard sugabaes fans !!! :L i think its a great single personally and i personally i think she is too good for the sugababes ! :)x
I love this song!!! It's a shame that Jade is now a Sugababe... she coulda had a great solo career... oh well

there no point in jade realising any songs as she a new member of sugababes.

i love this song ! i also get the feeling the people who keep throwing around the word 'wannabe', are actually the same person - get a life.
She sucks. As said SHE'S A WANNABE! It would be a travesty is she became a Sugababe. DS 4 stars? please. 2 stars at best and that's pushing it. These reviews seem to be getting worse. Eugh!
She's a such a wannabe. Interviews she comes across very rude. She's a flop. Her label should drop her she's rubbish.
in response to 'stacy from london'. i dont know how you can call somone who can sing very well a 'wannabe singer' thats just ridiculous - go back to school!haha. also i think jade is much better as a solo, and i would love to see mutya rejoin the sugababes after that waste of space amelle has finally made up her mind.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SHE IS WANNABE SINGER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HOPEFULLY NOT TRUE. SHE'S NO SUGABABE!!!!!!!!
I like jade BUT if she joins the sugababes there Finished for good she wont fit in! This is the one chance theyve got to bring mutya back and be the sugababes again With mutya!! I hope to god they bring Mutya back!!....and it's so obvious she wants to rejoin shes been droping so many hints!1 And jades other song punching out is alot better than this
Great song. Deserves more recognition! :(
She is the new Sugababe!!!
its a great tune. but unfortunatly it will fail in the charts. i have not seen any promotion for it, and radio1 have refused to playlist the song (which i find strange because she was discovered on a BBC primetime show!), its a shame because it would have given it a much needed boost, she may have cracked the top 10.
great song,hope she keeps this up and cant wait for her other hits.
pleasantly surprised by this, such a far cry from that cheesy Eurovision song! a classy R&B tune, which suits Jade well. she shows off her strong voice again, and she looks great in the video. yes it's contemporary, as is most stuff these days, but as i always say - what's wrong with enjoying things for the moment?
Terrible song, she walks around in the video like a tramp, I hate that shes in Sugababes now. She may have a good voice but her solo effort is terrible as is her career move to join Sugababes.
