Album: Same Difference, Pop, (SYCO)
Remember siblings Sean and Sarah Smith? The ones with the psychotic smiles from last year's 'X Factor'?
Well here's their debut album: an unsubtle mix of 'High School Musical', Eurovision, 'Grease', S Club, Kylie and Jason and Stock Aitken Waterman. It's enough to make anyone this side of 12 cringe. And yet, listen carefully, and is that a hint of Karen Carpenter in Sarah's voice? It's enough to save a track or two. It might even serve her well when she grows up. Simmy Richman
Pick of the Album: 'We R One' sets a template that is never improved
