Blondes, Pop Hooks and Bizarre

Apparently, I have this thing for blondes with some musical ability and a bag of pop hooks. Meet Natasha Bedingfield, a new pop sensation out of London. If you recognize her name its because her brother Daniel hit it big in 2002 with his dance single “Gotta Get Thru This.” That song just blew up right around the time I was doing my DJ thing in this club downtown. These girls who were too fat to be wearing short skirts and tight tops would request it every time I played down there. I finally found the tune with one of those file-sharing programs. I was disappointed. I’m not going to post the it; you’d be disappointed too.

Anyway, Daniel’s sister Natasha has released an album. It’s mediocre pop-ballad drivel at best, but her first single “These Words” has been stuck in my head for awhile. Plus she name checks Lord Byron, Percy Shelley and John Keats and I’ve never heard a pop-singer do that, so props to her. And then as I was scanning through the album, I hear Bizarre from D12 introduce himself. The song sucks, but it's such a weird duet that I had to post it.
