It's 'always' and 'wouldn't have' by the way. Don't write the way you speak.
Anyway, so being No. 1 for an eternity and driving everyone insane in the process means it must be a good single does it?
I present the evidence for the prosecution:
Bryan Adams - Everything I do - No. 1 for 16 weeks
Wet Wet Wet - Love is all Around - 15 weeks
Whitney Houston - I Will Always Love You - 10 weeks
What do these records and Leona's have in common? They are all uninspired, insipid crowd-pleasers and their popularity has been boosted by either film or TV.
Leona has a good voice, but she has a terrible singing style. That Whitney style warbling sounds horrendous. Just hold a God-damned note can you? And she's just so dull.
I don't mean to patronise anyone, but I think those that are defending Leona probably don't know much about music.
The sooner people get tired of X Idol The Rival Factor or whatever the better. These ridiculous talent contests are finishing off an already moribund industry. I'm so sick of the bean-counters that run the music business. I'll carry on using P2P so I don't have to support the greedy b******s. I reckon they owe me several thousand pounds after over-charging on CDs all these years anyway, and I refuse to provide them with money so they can promote whatever awful crap they think will make them even more rich, whilst they bankrupt single mothers in the courts because they shared a couple of songs on the internet.
