Strokes, The
Sugababes

Susan Boyle (yep, i think it's wonderful she is a singer for her voice and nothing else. disgusting to think people laughed and mocked her before she even sang a line and even more disgusting that people make fun of her now. she is truly a role model to people that they can overcome all sorts of struggle - born poor, not being conventionally attractive, when true talent isn't recognised for years and years, etc. Plus, she makes 'Wild Horses' sound like it's HER song!! :o) Inner peace and much love to you, Ms Boyle!)
