SHE'D probably be able to have Girls Aloud in a fight, (well, maybe if someone distracted Cheryl 'Are you lookin' at me' Tweedy for long enough) and by rights she should have knocked spots off 'rival' David Sneddon in Fame Academy.

Quirky, feisty and possibly the coolest reality TV export ever, Sinead Quinn certainly packs a punch.

On this, her debut single, Sinead let's her talent do the talking with a gutsy performance of 'I Can't Break Down'.

Excellent covers of No Doubt's 'Don't Speak' and Macy Gray's 'I Try' make her stand head and shoulders above your average karaoke turned TV star. This is a promising start for an artist with great things to come.
