Which just shows how shocking the British public's taste in music is, and how easily they can be coerced into buying shite, simply by sugar coating it. If you like listening to your grandad singing at a karaoke, then you'll love Paolo Nutini, because they're identical.

My Grandad is dead, but i take your point. Who the hell buys this guy's records? I have yet to meet a Paolo Nutini fan or anyone who has even heard of him. The British public have notoriously bad taste...witness how Queen became so huge ( especially among mechanics) and how Oasis continue to sell out huge mega gigs , despite being shit since the closing seconds of Rock n roll star on "Definately Maybe"

hness - get a grip. Stop finding bands you dislike and publicly bragging about disliking them... And EddieG you must've been gutted the Pussycat Dolls weren't at number one.
