It's hard to get respect when you're a Pop Idol reject named after a Persian emperor. On the receiving end of more dissing than Peter Andre, young Darius clearly knows that he's got to pull out all the stops to keep bouncing back into our affections - and that's exactly what he's done with Kinda Love. Instead of coasting into the charts with a predictable ballad, he's poured every ounce of energy he's got into this exuberant, chant-along song, even enlisting a rowdy chorus of girls for a round of ba-ba-ba-baaing. Surprisingly enjoyable.
