I liked that video. Good rythm, nice and steady voice, and a good looking artist

Ahh, that must be why Larry had that glazed-over expression when I made him watch it last week!

I have a bunch of P!nk CDs (note P!nk is actually with an !). I do like Adele but never bought her cd cause she is always on the radio. I do like her Skyfall song in the James Bond movie. 

[Nichi]

Don't know if she's "pop". She would probably get considered "alternative".  Or maybe "Emo".
The original version of this is by "Daft Punk", and the 2 moods are completely different.

That was quite nice - i liked the mood and singing. It is just a pity it sounds so similar to so many other pieces on the market these days.

I never would have stumbled into it were it not for the following video, which is about the niece of my deceased friend, Kathy. The association with this video made the music a little more poignant than the usual commercial song...

I know this.

I picture Tiana liking this one... Have you seen any of the long videos he made, featuring ordinary people doing long walks/dances towards the camera?
