Well done Will....... See ya soon......:D

Dido wangles her way in everywhere doesn't she. Not that I've got anything against her, she has done so well, I just personally don't GET HER, but hey well done.

Mad World has been played far too much if you ask me. It's on every bleeding thing you watch from Corrie to Tweenies. :p

Eroll Brown, is he still going. Bless him.

Jamelia, she has had a few awards for this song has she not? I actually quite like it, she has a catchy thing to her songs and you seem to be singing them before you know it.

Im not sure I know the Amy Whitehouse song.

I sure don't know Goldfrapp.

And I don't really listen to Radiohead.

So maybe im not the best person to comment here. Sorry BCV, though thought i'd give it a try.

:D :p :D
