Well, I'm a Numan fan since I was 12 in 1978 (with a gap in the middle when he lost his way) and I love this. The musical arrangement is better and more powerful than any of his own later arrangements in my opinion.

both good one of 2 mash ups richard x did.

Numan's approach to songwriting follows fairly simple structures, but that's irrelevant because his work affects audiences. Sugababes, however you feel about them - have also impacted upon audiences. If independent authorship is your sole judgement of a musical work then you can write off the majority of Motown recordings and a lot of 50's artists. I hate this trait of trying to authenticate pop music. This sounds great, that rhythm and synth was born for a female vocal in my opinion.

fred5644 - you cant be serious ( genY?)

Well, Gary Numan's version is far superior. The Sugababes' version just sounds a bit off.

great song, sugarbabes version is actually better though

ok im 49 i was there...deal with it. fave album in 79 was Replicas. seen interviews with Gary and he approved this mix/song and after seeing it i can actually see why its really slick :) i hope and pray more gen y can make such a smooth transition like this and respect a truly rare talent such as Numan. rip it but pay your dues guys and the world will be fine :)

numans is a million times greater, the sugababes are fucking idiots - just cos you can sing, and producers can twiddle knobs dont mean your an artist! sounds like a great numan song with some whiney bitches in the background

If you can't write a song, find another line of work and leave music to the professionals.
