Fashionable figure of hate in 5 ... 4 ... 3 ...I like what I've heard so far, to the disdain of judgemental and snobbish types, and I like the Dutch angle used for the cover, too.

Floz & The Machine - there's an interesting one.A: She's not Kate Bush, however much she thinks she is.
B: They do do good tunes.
C: She fancies herself rotten - as a bird and as a muso - the whole "staring up the lights lost in the music"/"tightly squeezed eyes, lost in the music" schtick is very, very considered, and thus pretentious and annoying. See also R&B singers doing that stupid "delicate hand" thing to indicate how soul they are.

I feel a little about F&TM like I did about Oasis when they were about:Great tunes, pricks doing them = Dammit stop being such pricks!

But they weren't great tunes.Every cover version of Wonderwall is also pap. It's a song inspired by a film about spying on your naked neighbours through a hole in the wall, which has for some reason been reinterpreted as an anthem to inspire mid-northerners with a sense of solidarity and kinship, by comparing one another to mystical bits of masonry. This is STUPID.

Really?I just assumed it got played because Jo Whiley found out she still gets paid by the hour, even when she's not talking.

I bow to your expertise as I've been put off listening to any other tracks by the ones on the telly adthat tell me how 'amazing' it all is. And my pocket money this week went on Caro Emerald anyway.

Yes - I understand that there's already been oversaturation on TV and radio.I've only encountered her stuff a couple of times - once on Later With Joolz Holland, and once on some telly programme.
Mrs V and I tend to listen to Radio Bore and watch cooking telly, so don't see too much pop stuff.

Can't hear the words because of the INTENSE EMOTIONI heard "are they like the bad girls harning", whatever harning means. Turns out she's singing "I hear you like the bad girls honey". This would be excusable in death metal, but she's no Trey Azagthoth.
Besides, that's not very high-quality schizophrenia, it's just wailing about a relationship. It's not like she suddenly requests nine packets of cigarettes and a shoe tree and accuses you of having been replaced by your exact clone.

I've heard it too much, so it just grates with me.And that pathetic clapping over the last chorus makes me cringe.
Nothing much against her personally, somewhat incongruously she seems like a rather jolly sort in real life.
