It's not often Beyoncé sings songs she can relate to. Throughout all her big kiss-off hits like Irreplaceable and Single Ladies she was with husband Jay-Z, and after recently stating that she's only ever been with one man (him), she really was in no position to lament about cheating, break-ups or being on her own. At last comes Halo, a song she has no doubt put her heart and soul into given that she's still Crazy In Love with the rapper. A heart-warming delight. 4/5.

Lady Gaga | Poker Face
Just Dance mark II arrives with Lady Gaga's debut single still stuck in our minds. The tribal 'mum-mum-mum-ma's are attention-grabbing, and will never be removed from your mind, but the rest of the song is rather unremarkable. The line 'I'm just bluffing with my muffin' in the bridge should provide a few giggles, but Poker Face is just too repetitive to be anything more than mildly amusing. 3/5.
