Before they were famous
It's amazing who you meet at uni. The stoners, the sports students, the media studies layabouts (of which I was one), the musicians, the singers, and a small blonde Welsh girl by the name of Aimee.

Aimee was a sweet little thing, who introduced herself to all and sundry by saying "I came third in Welsh Pop Idol!!". You could almost imagine the double exclamation marks clanging into place, such was the energy of the girl. And one evening, she went up on an open mic night down the student union and absolutely wowed us all. Shouts of "More!" were a common one that evening. And the stuff she got up to when stoned... well they don't bear re-telling here but they will always give me a grin. And then she dropped out of uni quite suddenly, and nothing more was heard of her.

Until, one day, I saw this person on TV, singing her heart out:

Woof.
Whoever she is, at first glance she seems quite pretty, then you look again and... well, she's no oil painting.
