So, this Chanelle Hayes single...
Published Friday, May 9 2008, 14:53 BST | By Nick Levine | 84 comments
Chanelle Hayes has always wanted to be like Victoria Beckham, which is probably why she's trying to launch a pop career with a single that falls slap bang in the middle of mediocre and slightly ropey. We actually think 'I Want It' - written by Vanessa Feltz's fiancé/former Phats & Small singer Ben Ofoedu - sounds like a Britney album track from about five years ago. It's three minutes and five seconds of absolute "meh".
The video, featuring a generous selection of bikini shots, lots of soft porn facial expressions and Chanelle writhing in bed with a topless hunk, is the pop promo equivalent of a Stringfellow's dancer whose rent is due the next morning: trying very hard to be sexy.
What do you think of the Chanelle Hayes single? Are we being too harsh on her? Just hit the usual button to have your say.

I'm 53 years old and even I find this boring, dated and derivative. Sad reflection on the education system in the UK when young girls can only build a 'career' by flashing their bits or sleeping with footballers. Pathetic.

A load of talentless rubbish. Anyone who likes this has no intelligence whatsoever. I am sick and tired of these people who have had some exposure and are half good looking to do a semi pronographic video and a dull song. What is good about this song? It has been done so so many times before and is so unoriginal, it is unbelievable. If she wants to do porn, then do so, but she is not a singer and should not polute this industry with her talentless nonsense.

I'm not a BB watcher, so I have no preconceived ideas about Chanelle. I actually had no idea who she was until I read some of the other posts on here... I watched exactly 46 seconds of this video and was utterly appalled. It is nowhere near appropriate viewing for its imagined target audience. I'm 25 and a mother and felt like it was a bit too grown up for me! lol But in all seriousness, even if its target market was 20somethings, its the kind of thing that would be shown on MTV or the like; with audiences as young as 10-14 years old! Chanelle has oversexualised herself and taken something that, arguably, could be a decent enough pop song and made herself look like a complete s**g.

I was a massive Chanelle fan when she was on BB last year, however this is very trashy, whoever designed wardrobe obvioulsy needs sacking !!! she is not a very good singer, however whoever has tweaked her voice has done a fairly decent job of turning something rubbish into something ok, Chanelle please go back to being a stropy drama queen !!!!!

I think if Chanelle's got the opportunity to do a music video she can, i mean it must be great to be in one. I think i would be great for this song to do well, just to simply annoy VICTORIA BECKHAM. The video is good and the beat aint bad. THE REMIX IS BETTER THOUGH.

She has a very weak voice and the song has no content.

Emma. She's done well, according to whom? Yourself? You mustn't want much. I hope the song fails so she can quit making music like she promised. She is such a media w***e, everyone knows she will go back on her word. No integrity.

this is basically a low class porn video.. if she really wanted to form some sort of dignified and 'proper' career in the music business, she shouldn't have basically paraded around in next to nothing in the whole video. basically proves that she'l do anything for fame and not serious about showing off her talent (as i do think that she has a good voice) and has sold herself out and ruined any chance of having an actual respected career for herself in this video.
