Aaah little Joe McElderry. Winner of last year's British season of X Factor, he struggled to hit the No.1 position with his debut single 'The Climb' due to a massive underground push to instead get Rage Against The Machine's track 'Killing In The Name' to the top spot.So almost one year on, he's about to release his debut single and his debut album.
First new single is 'Ambitions' - a pleasant uptempo pop number that sees Joe utilising his falsetto and trying to distance himself from the show that first brought him fame.
BUT, will it work? For our money, the choreography in the clip looks a little dated and awkward, the song's not really that strong, but Joe looks like he could have walked off the cover of a magazine and it's a fun pop tune. Time will tell if the UK public agrees.

Meh, it's okay, but nothing special IMO.
Joe's got a GREAT voice - intersting choice of song to cover and the vid is cute. Will be interesting to see how far this guy goes
(the success of 'The Climb' in the UK doesn't count, as it was simply riding the X-Factor wave)

It doesn't break ground but it's catchy and man that boy can sing... furthermore, moreover, henceforth... Joe is HAWT! He might be a foot shorter than me at but what a cutie. Hope Oz gets on board...
