I should have mentioned before the horror that is Tiffani (not Tiffany) Wood's new single "What r u Waiting 4". Lyrically a series of vague nothings about making a stand, taking a chance, reaching for that dream blah blah, the world-changing scope is undermined somewhat by the lame-to-the-max (in that classic Australian way) clip. Looking like it was filmed on the set of Changing Rooms, it features Tiffani swanning around in tight tank-tops (showing off her investments), making the appropriate "meaningful" hand-on-chest moves, suggesting deep thought and metaphysical yearning. It gets worse though. There are a few little "stories" thrown in, in which various people unable to reach their specific dream are inspired, after a whispered word from Tiff herself, to go for gold. But the scenarios are just so TRIVIAL it ends up in total farce. There's the tortured artist who doesn't know what brush-stroke comes next, some other guy renovating or something, and Tiff herself who rescues a stray cat and rings the RSPCA - what r u waiting 4? She should have made sure she had the goods herself before she went and slagged off fellow Popstar Sophie Monk in the Herald-Sun a few weeks back. Although I should know better by now, I'm actually looking forward to the 4th Bardot solo effort from Sally - she was always my favourite, and I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
