(Michael Jackson) I don't think I had a choice, my mum played Dangerous all the time in the car. And then there's the fact that my brother had that video, I can't remember the name, but we watched that a lot when I was younger.

2. What was the first song you ever heard by 22?

I don't have a 22. I have three 21's though. So I'll do the second 21, which is Kelis. Um... First song. Caught Out There. Quality song.

Regina Spektor: Sometimes the really quirky songs go completely over my head.

2. McFly: Sometimes the songs they release ar good cheesy or sweet, sometimes they are cheesy pop crap, or depressing - not deep (see 'Wonderland'.

3. Amy Winehouse: I think she should go back to the state of mind she was in during the time of recording 'Frank', because although I do like 'Back to Black', I like 'Frank' infinite amounts more.

4. John Mayer: He has terrible taste in girlfriends.

5. Mariah Carey: Her albums tend to be a lot of amazing singles, with a load of not so good filler songs. Which is why I think she has so many Gretest Hits CD's - that's how she affords what is basically a seperate flat for her clothing.

6. Christina Aguilera: I always wonder what she'd sound like if she simplified her sound (not like 'Back to Basics'), by stopping with the hand waves and vocal gymnastics.

7. Britney Spears: Where do I start? Firstly, she needs to be locked in a room at rehab for a decent amount of time - no special treatment. Then we should send Ken Paves her way to get her hair did.Also, I can't believe I'm saying this but maybe she should employ Rachel Zoe, its not like she can make her look worse. I don't think her music is a problem her last album 'Breakdown', 'Breakout' or whatever was alright.

8. Madonna:I think she should go home now. Stop trying to be controversial, stop trying to change her image and stop with the scary muscle building excercise. I haven't like an album of hers since 'Ray of Light'

9. Kanye West: I'd say maybe he should stop with the public temper tantrums, it's unbecoming.

10. Lily Allen: I generally think, she thinks that her music is better than it is. I mean, I like it but it's barely groundbreaking.

11. Jason Mraz: I don't think I know enough about him to insult him. Maybe that comment is negative in itself. He releases stuff and tours in the UK doesn't he?

12. Joshua Radin: I think it'd be the same comment as Jason Mraz, except I know less about him.

13. Nelly Furtado: She's currently sharing space with JT under Timbaland's thumb, which is sad because I loved her folksy music (Folklore).

14. Norah Jones: I can serparate about four songs the rest I'd have to really be on my game to be able to differentiate.

15. Jem: Who? Seriously what happened to Jem?

16. Paolo Nutini: He hasn't asked me to marry him yet and I'm getting impatient.

17. Rihanna: Hmmm. Her songs are so catchy that I want to throw heavy objects at her. She can not sing live. She obviously made her stylist mad, because the girl is a permanant hot mess.

18. Kelis: I love most of her singles, but some of the album tracks are a little forgettable for me.

19. Lauryn Hill: She realeased an amazing debut album (The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill) and then she did absolutely nothing after that.

20. Feist: I like a lot of her upbeat songs and a lot of the slower ones, but the ones that are sort of in the middle are lost on me.]]> http://www.last.fm/user/swwonder/journal/2008/02/26/2k43_blah,_blah_broken Tue, 26 Feb 2008 11:49:03 +0000 http://www.last.fm/user/swwonder/journal/2008/02/26/2k43_blah,_blah_broken 1.

2. What song makes you sad? One Year, Six Months by Yellowcard, Little Green by Joni Mitchell and Songbird by Eva Cassidy

3. What is the most annoying song in the world? Seeing as I don’t count that Crazy Frog ‘thing’ as music, most recently probably ‘Wind It Up’ by Gwen Stefani.

4. Your all time favorite band?
The Weepies, I suppose.

5. Your newly discovered band is?
I think the most recent new band I discovered was Bat for Lashes, but it was a while ago and more of a national discovery.

6. Best female voice?
A bit of Billie Holiday never hurt anyone. Obviously, Miss Diva Mimi (Mariah Carey). The Dame (Shirley Bassey) was a bit good at Fashion Rocks the other night and of course there’s always Aretha Franklin.

7. Best male voice?
Well, Paolo Nutini’s voice does things to me, as does Joshua Radin’s. I’ve also taken to Nat King Cole’s voice like a duck to water, or so they say.

8. Music type you find yourself listening to most?
I don’t know.

Lord knows.

12. Band you find yourself listening to the most right now?
Although he bugs me, a lorra, lorra Kanye West.

13. Most hated band?
Girls Aloud, they should stop ‘singing’ and go back behind the chip shop counters they came from. And in Cheryl Tweedy’s case just stop.

14. Song that makes you think?
Any song with big words. Umm, I don’t know – I'm too tired to think.

15. 3 Bands that you think the world should love as much as you do?
I'd just like to point out that last time I answered a question similar I said something along the lines of Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse, but look what happened there. Thus, no comment.

16. Coolest music video? I hate to be a bit cliché here but, ‘Weapon of Choice’ is a bit good. I also love the video’s for ‘Children (Dream Version)’ by Robert Miles (oh the times I’ve had re-enacting that) and a couple of Vanessa Carlton’s

A bit of D’Angelo can’t do much harm.

I don't.

28. Last BIG band that you saw live?
See Q. 11

Embarrassingly, probably only when Shakira and Nelly Furtado decide to. I listen to some classical, which is mostly sang in Latin or Italian, isn’t it?

30. What famous musician would you like to sleep with?
Paolo Nutini, obviously. He might sing to me.

31. Worst concert moment?
Beyoncé or Girls Aloud. I’ve never been, but I imagine it to be pretty bad.

32. Funny concert moment?
I can’t think of anything.

33. Sad concert moment?
I think any concert where I’ve basically been embezzled when buying a ticket.

34. Best concert moment?
Again, drawing a blank.

35. Best local act you can think of?
Stereo MC’s. Come on what’s going on with Nottingham music?
