Chanelle Hayes: 'I Want It'
Released on Monday, May 19 2008
Published Monday, May 12 2008, 19:06 BST | By Alex Fletcher | 60 comments

'I Want It' is as trashy as a night down China Whites with a Daily Star cover girl and three bottles of Lambrini. Full of cheap vocal effects and clunky bargain bucket production, this is an aging record exec's idea of futuristic pop. There's also some insipid lyrics ("I'm a sexy lady, drive you crazy, make you beg for more") that completely fail in their bid to sound sexually provocative and a (vague excuse for a) tune that a Latvian Eurovision hopeful would dismiss as tacky. Our conclusion: Iceland better have some shelf-stacking jobs left because Chanelle's music career is doomed.

Just a sidenote here, bitching about other people's spelling when one writes 'epitomy' is a little hypocritical... Anyway, the song is pretty awful, not aided by the cheesy lyrics, and her voice is no more than average, but kudos to her for at least trying!

I accidentally caught a glimpse of one of her sorry excuses for a TV show, she was trying to buy a house somewhere or other, firstly who cares about her house damn it? Secondly I would just like to say that this girl is the epitomy of what is wrong with society, this wish to be famous for the sake of being famous. Celebrity used to be reserved for the talented...the singers, dancers, actors and the likes of the world, now it seems that a person can be famous for wanting to famous, using notoriety they have gained from exposing themselves and showing the world just how fragile celebrity has become. We are now left with pages and pages of gossip mags and newspapers telling us what colour knickers the likes of Jodie Marsh was or wasn't wearing when she fell out of some idiorts car outside Chinawhites on Friday night. Chanelle is just another nobody, famous for being a bit thick and somewhat a repulsive person. Her fans may say that this sounds like jealousy (or gelosy as it seems to be spelt when you are a Chanelle Hayes fan), this is no such thing, this is just a bit of a rant against the social decline that people like Chanelle represent in, a world where girls would rather grow up to be a WAG than a Doctor, unfortunately as long as there are people with no ambition in the world, to whom Chanelle can remain an inspiration, this talentless nobody will remain in our media. Heard she is going to America to try and extend her "career", best of luck with taht Chanelle, if no-one here cares about your fame hungry existance what makes you think that they will over there? You could always try......I dunno, getting a job!

Bought the CD. Found it boring. Bland. Typical cliche pop rubbish. With those stats, she is not going to get an album. Thankfully with BB9 - we can forget this talentless desperate wannabe for good. I give the single 0/5 stars.

Bought the CD Yesterday and all I can say is WELL DONE CHANELLE, I Loved her in BB8 and after listening to the CD a few times I am Loving her now more than ever. The Iceland dig at the end was a really nasty comment which I think should be taken down. I bet you that if Chanelle had not have been in BB8 people would like this song had it come out but people dont want to like chanelle just because she was in Big Brother. Hopefully she will release a second track and people may start laying off her a bit.

last comment. same propoganda from "the channelle appreciation" thread. much better than vb? I find people who want to be like her sad. want can't you be an individual? why can't chanelle. she has found fame alright - at #63 - and it dropped off the top 100 the week later. stop deluding yourself chanelle fans. the single bombed. and nothing you say or do is going to ever change that she has no talent.

Emma. You know Chanelle rated #63 in the singles chart huh? Now that's pathetic. LOL. LOL. Oh yes Sarah, we are all so jealous. Just accept the fact that nobody cares about this gimp and wishes she would go away.

the only fans that the loser has a people who have nothing going for them in their lives, that they have to live their lives through chanelle. it's so embarrasing. their are a small group of deluded fans on her appreciation group whom post 50 - 60 posts a day. don't these people have jobs? lives? goals? passions? they should be chasing these things, trying to emulate this porn star. oh yeah, the song is pure cack.

Awful. The video is disgusting, I was cringing the first time I watched it. I don't even think it deserves to get a 1.

The single should not have been called "I Want It". I should have been called "I Want to eat ****". How utterly shameful this wannabe is. Her fans are so obsessed with her, they are deluded of the fact that she has no talent. For shame Chanelle fans. For shame.
