"That would be... Lisa Stansfield, Mark."
Cue hasty departure.

... heaven knows what's become of her. Besides that idiot song, she had a great voice. I'd always prefer Sade, though.
With male voices, a little hystery is quite to my liking, with female voices, I can't stand it. That's why I don't like listening to
Shakira either, however really adorable her belly dancing might be.
Anyway, all the songs I've mentioned represent some destructive (but obviously common-sense) idiot view to me,
and in a loudness that just goes way too far. A kind of blackmail and torture by cultural means.
