Yet again, Gareth Gates has scored highly on releasing this, 'Anyone of Us (Stupid Mistake)' as his follow-up to the hugely successful 'Unchained Melody'. Like its predecessor, this is bound to hit the top spot when released. The difference this time, though, is that he and this song deserve to.
At last, the Pop Idol runner-up has done us a favour by releasing something original, unlike Will Young, who continued the trend of re-releasing past hits with his follow-up 'Light My Fire'. 'Anyone of Us' is a great blend of 'pop' music, with a little character to it. Each time you hear it, you just can't help singing along to it when it comes on the radio. For once, it is an original piece of writing, and although it 'borrows' from another song in the interlude (which I can't place my finger on!) it is still a really enjoyable song to listen to, and regardless of who the artist is, it deserves to hit the Number 1 spot, compared to some of the rubbish out there right now.
Whichever way you look at it, this is no doubt going to be another Number 1 for the now eighteen year old lad, who has become a pop idol to millions. I'm not one for buying singles. After all, the last single I bought was 'What's Going On', and that was only because it was in aid of an AIDS charity and the September 11th fund. However, after hearing this song, and liking it as much as I do, I no doubt will be purchasing this song when it becomes available. Well done Gareth!!!
