    He had a good few hits you should listen to his albums its actually good, well it was last time I listened to it and that man has the best voice I've heard since Freddie himself.
    I quoted the wrong post there lol. I was supposed to be quoting the post about MIka.
    I do like Bruno Mars, he kind of has a Michael Jackson thing going on and I respect him for being a song writer and coming up through the ranks to fame with his own songs.

    I love Locked out of heaven , don't particularily like any of his other songs , but that doesn't mean I don't think fair dues to him for getting to where he is .

    I'm not an R&B fan and I barely know his music, but I really like Hotline Bling by Drake.

    At first listen I was thinking, " what's this nonsense?". But after a few more hearings I appreciated how hooky the song is and I just love the way it feels a bit spooky and off, despite how catchy it is. Love the use of the organ as well.

    Bananarama. The fact is they have some absolutely belting tunes.

    Honestly never heard anything from this person before, only heard the name a few months ago but this song getting a fair bit of airtime lately. It sounds a little bit like The Police.

    Yay! A thread where my love of 70s/80s upwards pop is cool - or at least accceptable! :p

    I've always been more about individual songs than artists for some reason.

    Remember the Millennium and how we all thought computers would die?

    She's actually pretty good in the show Shades of Blue too (Ray Liotta is in it too and he's always great). The only song of hers I like though.

    That bassline, the production quality ... and the way the ladies sound like they're loving it. In the last chorus it sounds like they are singing so hard, for the sheer joy of music, that their vocal cords are about to blow a gasket. :p

    The Foals, I thought they would be another one of these crappy indie bands but they are actually really good and interesting.
