WOOOOOOOHOOOOO

Finally! 

[admin]

Will it be fast or slow? What do we think?

[Hubz]

It's uptempo and poppy, but a cover unfortunately.

[hooly]

Yeah but a cover of a song that nobody knows of which makes a difference.
I reckon it will be huge!!!

It sounds good, i notice they have stuck with the original name now Ambitions which is a donkeyboy cover.

Sounds a bit like an Enrique song. He sings it very high but i think it will do ok and grow.

Its 100 times better than Ollys song and will appeal to loads of people.

Good single i think.

[Tacom]

I think its a very good first single!

Different, original (although its a cover) , uptempo and of course it is sung perfectly!

So the leak was correct. When it goes back on YouTube, hopefully the sound quality will be better than that on the leaked (pirated?) version.

Sadly, the producers didn't change Donkeyboy's original arrangement much (or at all) so that Joe could make the song more his own.

Their will now definitely be comparisons between the two, and again IMHO, not enough difference for Joe's version to stand out. If you didn't know it was Joe, you would definitely think it was Donkeyboy.

[Tacom]

Here in Holland we dont know Donkeyboy, were they popular in UK ?

[Hubz]

No I have never heard of them in the UK.  I haven't heard the original either. 

I am going to listen to it a few more times. 

[Tacom]

So will I.. I just know this song is growing on me. Heard it 5 times now 

[platinumrecord]

No I have never heard of them in the UK.  I haven't heard the original either. 

I am going to listen to it a few more times. 

Here's the original version:

I agree the there is very little difference between Joe's and Donkeyboy's version vocally.
I think if they had brought it down a key or two (to his normal voice), it would've been so much better.  Frankly, except for a few parts, I can't recognize his voice which we know is distinct as evidence as being able to pick out his snippets of other songs during XF.

It's catchy and I know Joe will perform it well. I'm looking forward to getting his album and hearing his other songs.

I've so loved everything he's sang so far, and this one is just okay.  Maybe when I see him perform it, it'll be better.

[Tacom]

Im not going to listen just yet at Donkeyboy.

I ve heard Joe a few times now, and it is growing! Its really a great party number, would be good dancing at it at GAY.

[Hubz]

Yeah the chorus is growing on me now.
