I await your list of the 5 to 10 best female vocalists of the past 20 years so that we have an idea of what your baseline for comparison is.

I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

I wasn't using a baseline, merely listening to the Youtube video. I must admit I did not listen to the whole thing, half a minute was more than enough.

Ah. The Grumpy Old Man setting!

It would still be interesting to know to whom you would listen for more than 30 seconds. Actually, hold that thought, let's ask everybody. There's not been nearly enough dissent and flamethrowing this week!

Here are a few in no particular order:
Debbie Harry (Blondie)
Enya
Emma Kirkby
Jacqui Abbott (The Beautiful South)
Joan Baez
Maria Callas
Norma Waterson

Not at all. I merely found the sound of that girl's singing raucous and not to my liking. There is nothing grumpy in not liking the same things as other prople. I doubt you would enjoy much of the stuff I listen to.

Much as I hate to agree with you on anything, I'm gonna have to concede that yours is the more accurate assessment here!

Could you distill that for me a bit, and also include the recipe for what you are drinking.

Lady GaGa - Bad Romance Lyrics[^]

In my opinion, this is catchy tune, and I do like dance music, but when you read the lyrics, they read as though an idiot wrote them. Gawd, I hope Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta is not an idiot.

Currently, playing anything with Girly B results in the device being confiscated. Lady [or Lord if you believe the trash papers] Gaga is veering towards the banned list not for any artistic problems but because I'm sick to death of it. Milly Cyrus and some other bee-atch who's name I've thankfully forgotten are on restricted listening - more than two songs and I start to boil.

Ack Duck are, of course, welcome and openly encouraged. \m/

I'm sure that there are Robs in most countries of the world but in Crosswordese certain names are assumed to be indicative of origin. So,

Scotland: Ian, Rob, Andrew, Duncan
Wales: Dai, David, Emrys
England: George
France: Pierre, Jean
USA: Bo
