What's up with you lot? Why hasn't anybody slated her choices or launched a scathing personal attack yet?
..and Yvonne one of my all time favourites has to be hearing YOU singing 'Oh Happy Day' !
Corrected. Thanks Rosie.
Because she is a great choice to do this. Not some model's under achieving sister or a pr 'guru' - someone in music. And she isn't attempting to sound cool or condescend the mainstream in explaining her choices.
who has sang?????????????
