Flops are out on top

SHAKING off their unfair image of 'Flop Stars' the five unlucky finalists from the hit TV show Pop Stars look like they just might have come out on top after all.

Hours after losing their bid to form a band, Sir Richard Branson swooped and took the raw talent of Liberty X under his millionaire wings. The band have had hits with Just a Little, Thinking It Over and Doin' It taken from this album. It could be argued they have had better success than Hear'Say - despite not having a cheeky Welsh one in their midst.

Capitalising on their new found popularity Liberty X are appearing in Red Dragon Radio's Party in the Park on July 20.

The album does not hold many surprises, the lyrics are not soul-searching, but the music is easy to listen to and very upbeat.

The last track is just one minute 27 seconds long and is probably the best one to show the vocal qualities of the band. Called Never Give Up, the track is a message of determination to do what you think is right.

This CD will be great for getting ready to go out or for a little funky background music. Don't expect too much and you won't be disappointed.
