Review: I think we should be better off that this was released. I will admit that it was a pain having to cancel my HMV order and then have to register and fill in all my info on another site. There is lots of theories as to why this release was scrapped at the last moment and only sold on Melanie C's web site. I think since this is Mel's own label and money involved with this album/single that she pulled it back to save some money on a lot of the promotion and what not that goes on with the release of a single.

As far as this release goes, I'm glad to see there is a DVD single that also has a DVD quality video of Next Best Superstar. The remix CD is alright. I do like the "pop mix" best and couldn't really be impressed with the "amazon dub" or extended version. The B-side Warrior is OK at best. I find it a bit slow, but it does live up to the normal of what a B-side is: not good enough for the album, but we have it and here it is. My final thought is I am happy with this release and the video is OK. I think Melanie looks out of place wearing a dress, but I do like the fact that it has some see thru parts...wink, wink
