FGTH’s The Power Of Love is a great song and I thought Gabrielle’s version was nice enough if a bit flat and lacking the emotion of the original.

As you’re approaching half way in your countdown, I took a sneaky peek at the remaining songs. There were some really great number ones in 2012, at least 10 I would rate highly are still to come, including one world beater that seems to get better year on year.

It's a nice enough, if plain cover of a much superior original. She went on to do much better original material for sure.

Nice enough yeah. I really liked Gabrielle Aplin and bought the album this came from which was very pleasant too. Her voice sounds lovely in the middle eight.

I was never into Heatwave much or really much solo output from Wiley, despite liking most of what he did with Roll Deep. The chorus on this could be stronger for me really.

Nice enough cover. Acoustic covers were becoming popular in adverts there was also Templecloud from the KFC advert and Charlene Soraia's Twinings advert cover from the year before; both making the charts. I preferred the latter of the three at the time.

I don't like that cover version much. The vocal does sound a bit too artificial - I don't get any emotions from it. Decision: 29th place.

Still waiting for my #32.

Gabrielle’s “The Power Of Love” isn’t exciting at all and it’s quite one note in colour - I’d have it lower.

“Heatwave” is nothing more than OK. I think the follow up “Can You Hear Me? (Ayayaya)” was better.

Is agree “He Ain’t Heavy…” is tasteful as these things go, though not something I’d seek out. It’s quite fun looking back at how of the moment some of the stars that were asked to participate are, like Andy Brown of Lawson.

“Twilight” does indeed feel incredibly random… it’s not bad.

Never paid much attention to 'Heatwave' either. The follow up was a bit preferable but don't think I ever listened to anything of Wiley's out of choice. 'Wearing My Rolex' was okay though and the Roll Deep #1's!

I do rather like Gabrielle Aplin's softer cover of 'The Power of Love' though.
