This song is tailor-made for a video of long smouldering gazes to camera whilst the Blue boys warble their little hearts out about their deeply felt love. Pre- and early teen hearts across the land will beat faster to this one...

The music is classic boy band ballad, redeemed by the obvious vocal talents of Lee et al, and the formula, whilst present, is not as obvious as, say, Atomic Kitten's latest single.

What lets the song down is the lyrics. The title is bad enough (Bananarama's Love In The First Degree, anyone?) but, "I'm prepared to testify / If loving you with all my heart's a crime / Then I'm guilty," has to qualify for this month's Stilton award.
