The One You Wanna See - cover crawling up the charts

biggrin

Not really. But I think this song sung by Shania Twain, The Dixie Chicks or any kind of Country/Pop singer would make a great hit in the US of A...

I think it is just a perfect pop song, and a shame it was not released as a single

it reminds me of background music for a car commercial, kind of like "so far so pleased". you could sell pontiacs with those songs.

I think the point is "You could sell..." I know it is a cheesy song, tongue-in-cheek, but I really found this a memorable tune - in the sense of "sticks in your head for some time".

BTW, I don't really like Shania Twain, but just thought of her the first time I heard the song, for me it has this country-pop feeling...

I SWEAR - when he sang this at the aftershow last year, people were going mad, jumping up and down, singing along like lunatics.... we ALL loved it (and we're his 'hardcore' fans lol ) YES, I was jumping around and singing it too!! boxed "You don't need to shave your legs..." headbang

Oh, and when I play it in my car, (only because it reminds me of the aftershow wink ) you should see the grin on my face biggrin

I loved it when her did it at the aftershow, one of my faves on PLanet Earth really, a good catchy little pop number. Surprised he didn't play it more at the O2/Indigo.

And now for a cup of tea.
