Wow. Can't say I mind the song all that much, but it just reminds me of another little girl having to show off her body to be popular. But putting that aside, The original by Tarkan is just wayyyyyy better. Sure, it's in Turkish and you may not understand a word of it, but his voice and musical talent will draw you in anyway. Some reviewers have said that Holly Valance is the reason for Tarkan's success with this song, but that is a bunch of bull...Tarkan is successful without the little blonde bombshell.

why?because for ur information the song was covered by 2 different female singer under the same title.kiss kiss.one by stella soleil and the other one is of course holy valance.Just like stella soleil holly valance will definately be a one hit wonder.if u like this kinda music,dont waste ur money on this junk.get the original version of simarik(original song by tarkan).Believe me, its worth every penny u spent on his album.well, maybe u buy holly valance for her good looks, then its definately a bonus for u aswell since tarkan looks better than her in every way, music,physical and most importantly originality.Maybe u dont wanna buy his album since its not made in america album, well ur on the rite track since his self title album that has 'simarik' on it was release in the USA by universal music america.

Holly Valance managed to impress everyone in the UK when she reached number 1 back in April with "Kiss Kiss". Although she has a thin and delicate voice, this song is incredible! I am aware that it's a cover but I mean lets be honest, do you really think many people in England knew that? Holly's now made the Turkish song famous worldwide and has effectively helped Tarkan promote his career. Anyway, here is my track by track review of the mixes:

Wise Buddah Mix- This is the version that was publicised and is known throughout the world. It's worn out a bit now as it was overplayed in England but I still think it was excellent debut! It has an Asian dance beat and sounds very frantic. 8/10

Jah Wobble Mix- This is an incredible Turkish-Arabic mix with all kinds of foreign instruments present throughout the song. Holly doesn't sing very much but I guarantee you'll like this mix! 10/10

Agent Sumo Mix- This isn't as Asian sounding as the previous mixes but it still has an infectious dance beat. My only negative comment about this well polish dance track would be that it drags on quite alot using the same lyrics. 8/10

Stargate R and B Mix- This is a smoother version of the track and it indeed sounds very similar. I was suprised to find that this wasn't produced by The Neptunes- 'cos it sounds like a mix they'd do. This version would be better for a US release as it's less 'Euro dance' than the others. 9/10

Check out Holly's other singles "Down Boy" and "Naughty Girl"- they're fine examples of how pop music should be!

This song comes nowhere near Tarkan's Simarik. She just cant sing - its all computerized! Tarkan's song has a much better beat and rhythm. Nowadays, we have much more talented female singers, like Britney, Christina etc. Holly Valance is a model! Why doesnt she stick to what she does best?? The video is soooo cheap to start off with! I mean she is basically dancing naked, only there is light shining on her private parts and reflected back, so no one can see anything.... but then all those guys are touching her and etc. I could go on! Plus, it's just incredibly blondie and dumb - especially the "mwaah" kissing sound. Sorry, it gets one star!

I absolutely love this song and I downloaded the video for it, it's quite raunchy!! Then I heard this song is originally sung by Tarkan and I'm listening to it right now, both versions sound virtually the same except different vocals of course, also Tarkan's version is in Turkish and I can't understand it at all LOL. Kiss Kiss is great and I suggest you buy the single!

This is just a copy on the turkish singer Tarkan's 1998 hit "Simarik" i were in turkey during that time and the song was played everywhere to later become a smash hit in the rest of europe too. Even though it was in turkish it sold well casue it was a good catchy pop song with oriental influences. There is no need for Holly Valance to make a cover of it in english just a few years after. The lyrics are dull and the whole idea of it the song is annoying, Her next song called "Down Boy" really proves how much talent she got(Not). The mysterious "one hit wonder" has caused a new victim.

as anybody who has heard the original song by Tarkan will tell you, that version is better in every possible sense; not only Tarkan is a great musician, he is an outstanding perfomer. the fact that his original lyrics were in turkish are quite irrelevant, especially since the lyrics used by holly sound quite unfit and unnatural for the music. the tune is absolutely the same as the original version, with not one note or beat having been changed, so if you liked the tune, you should give all the credit to tarkan, and may i suggest that you find a copy of his version for comparison.

she's the beautiful girl and her voice too.i think,if she make her musics like ^^kiss kiss^^she will be very popular in the world like britney!it's the tarkans song who is popular in turkey.i m turkish boy but i think it's better than tarkan:)
also her video is beautiful.she is dancing so cool and this is making the song better.if you listen it you'll like it!

Holly Valance has come a long way. She started out on Neighbours and has moved onto the pop music scene. Sound like anyone else you know? Yes, Kylie Minogue. There has been lots of comparisons between Holly and Kylie. I reckon Holly is more talented and beautiful.
Holly's debut is excellent! It's a cover of a catchy Turkish hit, and she's remade it very well. The music is infectious, the lyrics are cool and the video is shocking. It features a naked Holly with lights over her privates. But aside from that fact, the song is great. My only complaint is the way she runs her words together in the chorus. It's hard to understand what she's saying.
If you are wondering which song on the single is the radio edit, it's the first one the Wise Buddhah mix. I was confused myself. The other remixes are cool, especially the Stargate one.
Overall, this is a gusty, brill debut. Can't wait for Holly's next single!

Whoever got the idea of Holly Valance singing a cover of Tarkan's "Kiss Kiss" was out of their mind. Holly's version is completely inauthenic and very unoriginal. I believe reasons why this song became Number One in UK and Australia was because of the music video where she dances around naked with glowing private parts, and also because Holly is in the popular Australian/British television show, "Neighbours".

Another thing, I don't think she even gives credit to Tarkan. Do people know that the song is Turkish? or that it's even a cover? Well, whatever the matter is, I hope this review helps.

I don't even dare thinking of recommending this version of "Kiss Kiss" to anybody. ...
