... and not going to bed yet, some of my British faves from the current decade.
Sophie Ellis-Bextor - Murder on the dance floor.
S Club 7 - Two in a Million. Is it shameful to admit to formerly being a faithful viewer of their T.V show on ABC Family? :(
Blue - If You Come Back. So, okay, I was totally crushing on the Duncan guy but that has nothing to do with my appreciation of their music... even if they totally destroyed Next's Too Close. But since Karma is a bitch, Bollywood got them back with their One Love remix... okay, I'm lying. The Bollywood version of One Love for the movie Rakht wasn't bad. I actually like it.
Daniel Bedingfield - If You're Not The One
Craig David - Rendezvous. Okay, I don't want to talk about it but I was a total Craig David fangirl in the early 00s.

So... from my last post...
... I kinda went from Bobby Valentino to Babyface to Faith Evans. I suddenly got into a Faith Evans mood and started listening to some of her stuff from her first album. That got me into thinking about Shola Ama who kinda looks like her. That in turn made me think of British bands I enjoyed in the 90s and now it looks like I'm going to spend the last hour of my Sunday night watching dailymotion videos. I can't post all but I'll post some... all of which are some of my favorite British songs from the 90s.
Shola Ama - You Might Need Somebody. This is a remake of a Randy Crawford song. The initial reason I (and a bunch of other people) gave Shola Ama the time of day was because her name sounds Nigerian. For starters, Shola is a Nigerian (Yoruba) name and Ama could easily be a Nigerian name. So we heard of her and had to support, as per Naija... turns out that Shola Ama isn't her real name. Nonetheless, it's a good rendition of the song.
Take That - Back For Good
Eternal - Angel of Mine (yep, they sang it before Monica)
Everything But The Girl - Missing (gosh, I loved this song)
Gabrielle - Dreams
All Saints - Never Ever
Spice Girls - 2 Become 1 (shhh... don't tell anyone. Besides, it's not a fav or anything... just a song I know. And yeah, I know all the words but that's because they are so easy to learn!)
Oasis - Wonderwall. Now, how did this become a fave? I don't normally listen to this kind of music (whatever it might be) but some 60's coverband did a remake of it and I thought it was hilarious. And in the end, I somehow ended up liking the original.
Prodigy - Firestarter. The song is nuts... how couldn't I like it? Besides, it's way better than "Smack my b*tch up."
MN8 - random song. Couldn't stand them but my girls loved them. Bleh.
I'm tired.
