Great! Another brit school kid rolling out of the conveyour belt. Adele looks like a young Alison Moyet, not nice!

Foals and Vampire Weekend are absolutely fantastic, but the Ting Tings are awful.

mmm, i didnt like her at first but after listening to her WHOLE album & I was impressed. I hate the fact that she comes from the BRIT school and she is a Wino knock of, but at least she has a personality, unlike duffy.
