[Robert J]

I know "Switch It On" is his weakest offering since the Idol-enforced debut, but I still wish it had performed better

[TotallyEnormousExtinctDinosaur]

Thanks for posting splitchick. I'm really happy for Madonna. I'm also bewildered by Westlife's continual success. Not surprised at all by "My Humps" coming on strong there.

Who is this Katie Melua chick? I keep hearing the name.

A bit of an acquired taste, very MOR but quite beautiful IMHO with a voice to match. 21 years old, born in Georgia but now a British citizen. Mentored by a certain Mike Batt (would this bloke mean anything to you over here? Not sure. The Wombles Man!!) and a BIG seller in the UK (3 million sales of debut album).

Video to latest song (very weird but intriguing!!)

[That Skipping Rope.]

All I know about Katie Melua is that she did a duet with Jamie Cullum at the Brit Awards to "Love Cats". haha
