This song is absolutely great! One of my favourites from the influential boyband. While Ben Adams goes his own way, its nice to reflect back on his success with a1. In my opinion, he will not match his success that he had with a1, as songs like this appeal to all natures and genres of musical taste.

'Take On Me' is an upbeat, FX loaded version of the classic A-HA hit, and boy does it deliver!!! With a hi-tech music promo video to accompany the song, it is no wonder it topped the charts almost 4 years ago.

Included on the CD single there is also a Beatles medley - with the boys covering the songs 'She Loves You' and 'I Feel Fine'. They do an average job of this, but then again, I am not a Beatles fan, so I can't judge.

Also the singles has an enhanced section on it, with multimedia trailers and a few extra things on.

It's a really good single and highly recommended.

Review is a bit on the short side. Other than that it's pretty good.

Good review. A bit short. Make longer and leave a message in my private guestbook and i will re-rate.

Nice review... must say that this cover really isn't my cup of tea, I prefer the original, but there you go... A1 weren't a bad band overall :-D
