[Edited 5/20/07 15:05pm] that was my point actually. that while there can be a great deal of joy in listening to an homage act do a distilled, rehashed version of what made a past artist great, it's not original or something that i'd consider "the best" of any year. What about the best of the homage acts? OR the best of the unoriginal? It's already the end of May...2007 is not looking good for new artists. | |

remember that skit on SCTV where the two redneck guys would have a famous singer on their show and then while the guest was singing, the rednecks would make them explode and then say "WOO THEY BLOWED UP REAL GOOD!"
whenever mika hits that high note in the chorus of 'grace kelly', i always wish he was on that show.  | |
