One of my friends is in that video.

I love all those stories about Lisa Stansfield going to to America to do performances and the audiences expecting her to be a voluptuous black woman after hearing her on the radio

 

[boxedjoy]

too British to pull off the earnestness, too pseudo-aspirational to not be cringeworthy in Britain

You said that about Dua Lipa as well!

Life, oh life, oh life, oh life,
Doo, doot doot dooo.
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life,
Doo, doot dooo

I'm afraid of the dark,
Especially when I'm in a park
And there's no-one else around,
Oh, I get the shivers
I don't want to see a ghost,
It's a sight that I fear most
I'd rather have a piece of toast
And watch the evening news

Life, oh life, oh life, oh life,
Doo, doot doot dooo.
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life,
Doo, doot dooo

I'm a superstitious girl,
I'm the worst in the world
Never walk under ladders,
I keep a rabbit's tail
I'll take you up on a dare,
Anytime, anywhere
Name the place, I'll be there,
Bungee jumping, I don't care!

Life, oh life, oh life, oh life,
Doo, doot doot dooo.
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life,
Doo, doot dooo
Life, doo, doot dooo
Doo, doot dooo

So after all is said and done
I know I'm not the only one
Life indeed can be fun, if you really want to
Sometimes living out your dreams,
Ain't as easy as it seems
You want to fly around the world,
In a beautiful balloon

Life, oh life, oh life, oh life,
Doo, doot doot dooo.
Life, oh life, oh life, oh life,
Doo, doot dooo

its what the english want from their female pop stars. kate bush is a slightly eccentric drama or art teacher in purple eyeliner

I've got a soft spot for des'ree I like that tune she did with Terence trent Darby, delicate where she's credited as very special guest

Same like R Dean Taylor coming to play at Wigan Casino.

Beverley Knight is the music supply teacher who comes back in the sort out the Christmas Carol concert every year.

Des'ree sued Janet Jackson for ripping off one of her songs and then also Beyonce for covering a song of hers without credit. A really odd legal history.

Don't mess with des'ree

Des'ree is really touchy because everybody made fun of her piece of toast song.

Have all the young Americans heard jamiroquai?
