THE spiky-haired second placed pop idol returns with a bland and uninspiring title track that would be very welcome at any karaoke party.

Also included on this bumper festive package is a video and, because it's that time of year, a very soppy seasonal song entitled, originally enough, Christmas To Remember and Good Thing.

I'm not sure how long Gareth will last in the spotlight, as popularity can be a fickle thing and it can only be a matter of time before the next pop idol comes along. That said, I'm sure this will be ideal stocking filler fodder for teenagers and grandmothers.
