Ropey pop metaphor time

If a river runs through planet pop, then Leona Lewis and Cheryl Cole are camped on opposite banks.

While Cheryl's Fight For This Love is shyly understated, Leona's new single Happy is a giant, shouting "look at me everyone, I can fucking sing!! from the top of an erupting volcano.

There are no prizes for guessing that this song was written by Ryan "Halo" Tedder.
