Excluding anything PI, I love the Beverly Knight single too, and was thrilled Alicia Keys won so many Grammies during the week. I have her album and it is excellent - she gets so much emotion into her songs.
I liked the George Michael song when I first heard it, but now I'm not so sure. I saw the video which supposedly cost millions to make, and can't be shown in full because it's too rude. That kind of put me off. Not because I'm easily offended, but because it's getting really boring having all these videos that they know cannot be shown in full on normal pop tv. I don't know what Georgy Michael is playing at, but he's far too old for those sort of shock tactics are big and clever.
Mr Michael - they are nothing short of tacky in my book!
Even though I didn't like it at first, I've found myself strangely drawn to that Shakira song that made it to number 2. I'm wondering if they've put some kind of hypnotic tune in the counter-melody to catch me out. I do laugh every time I hear her sing these lines
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
So you don't mistake them for mountains
And how does that work exactly? I'm thinking we've lost something in the translation.
I've also become addicted to the 'Totally Addicted to Bass' song, so went out and bought the compliation CD of the same name from Ministry of Sound. See! I am cool.
