"All This Time" is a song written for the winner of the second series of Pop Idol in the UK. The final two acts in the show, Michelle McManus and Mark Rhodes both performed the song in the final of the show. McManus went on to win, and released "All This Time" as her debut single. It reached #1 in the UK Singles Chart on 11 January 2004,[1][2] and was later included on her critically panned debut album The Meaning of Love. Subsequent releases failed to duplicate its success, and McManus was soon dropped by BMG.[3]

Daily Telegraph critic Lynsey Hanley called the track "utterly forgettable" and "one of the lamest Pop Idol-sponsored efforts yet", and argued that it merely achieved the #1 position "on the back of the series' success".[4] Fiona Shepherd in The Scotsman described the song as a "tuneless dirge".[5]

Cover versions

Almighty Records artist Deja Vu featuring Tasmin recorded a cover version of "All This Time". The Almighty Anthem Radio Edit (3:56) and 12" Anthem Mix (7:28)
