She had 2 hits in the USA. Anyway, that's hilarious hearing her being called a OHW over there when she's the 2nd most successful female singles artist ever after Madonna over here. She's had two really big hits. "Love At First Sight" didn't do all that bad (I want to say 23) and I think "Come Into My World" won the dance Grammy (not that the award makes it a hit...it did really bad on the charts). | |

Was that a hit? This one station over here used to play it a lot. Great song. Wish I could have it on CD or MP3. | |

I'm not kidding.  I love this damn song. I can listen to it over and over again and never get sick of it.  He's definately one of mine as well. I actually bought a collection of songs from him. Not bad but very dated. I like dated.

Instead of being ridiculed (as some are), these folks should be celebrated.
These people are models of efficiency. Especially the "Novelty Tune" crowd. As a group, most give us a bit of joy over the years and then go back and get a real job. There are many "artists" out there that should take a lesson from this approach. Most haven't. Here's my salute to some of these angels of mercy...

A wack novelty rap aimed at kids. I was 5 when that dropped. I think it was the first single I bought. And played out on cassette outside my house (boomboxes )
Awesome song. Its funny. Its catchy. Its so cheesy. Its got coole effects on the chorus. Rap aimed at kids can be just as much fun as more serious stuff. And those snares  | |
