I think i'm going to have to get Ellie Goulding's album. I think her cover of 'Your Song' is brilliant and it's not very often you can say that about new artists especially.
If you do, get the re-released version, the extra songs are really good (especially Believe Me). It's the best album i've bought in ages.
She's probably my favourite singer/songwriter at the moment. It's refreshing to hear someone a bit different in the charts for once. She gives me hope for modern music..there are some good artists about afterall.

What was her comment regarding PSB?
I've been listening to REM - Out of Time and Automatic for the People. The latter is one of the best albums ever, IMO.

If you had registered on the very same day as Pani and posted at the same rate you are now, you would have made 5330 more posts than Pani.

Just randomly bought Mika's 2007 album at a local store on the strength of it's cover. I looked him up and it looks like this went number 1 many places in Europe and the UK, but this type of music can't break the top 100 in the US. I had never heard of him. It's pretty great. Only issue is he's sounds like to many people: Queen, Elton, S.Sisters, Robbie, Spacehog, The Darkness, Bee Gees, and others. But the songs and production are there.
Anyone have any opinions on Mika?

Isn't J-pop by defintion from Japan? Wouldn't it be K-pop? OR maybe more specifically SK-pop or the very rare NK-pop?

ah.....now I get it.I probably just saw the j-pop tag somewhere in related videos and assumed thats what they were calling it.so yeah, its probably k-pop. not that it helps me any. I dont know what they are singing about. even the subtitled ones are usually korean to chinese rather than english.
