No, it doesn´t remind me of TWYMMF, but it does have a Billie Jean type of drive. It´s great. Just the bass and her great voice make if phenomenal.

About Elvis? No, I didn´t know that.

I´d love to see it live, too.

It wasn't her but someone dressed up like her, and like all the other artists songs they covered. It was a brilliant show that I won tickets to through my workplace raffle.

My friend has worked with her and they've had drinks together, if they meet up I definitely want to tag along.

I'm listening to it now after all this talk about it. The bassline IS amazing! I used to listen to it constantly when I was depressed.

It´s unbelievable how simple and pure this song is and how much passion it´s got.
