Peter Andre: 'Unconditional'

Hats off to Peter Andre for converting his gossip rag-shifting, ITV2 schedules-filling celebrity into not unimpressive record sales - his Revelation album debuted at number three in September and has since gone gold. Trouble is, it's still difficult to think of him as a "proper popstar", whatever that term might mean.

Of course, that's partly because he's more famous for other things - at the moment, getting divorced - but partly because his music is pretty ropey. A case in point is 'Unconditional', a dated, melodically-challenged ballad dedicated to stepson Harvey. There's no doubt that Andre means what he's singing, but did he have to write lyrics as literal as "Wish I could have helped you with your first step, but I'm here now"? The result is not unlike having someone else's home movie forced upon you - which, not coincidentally, is precisely what Andre does in the video.
