I've changed my mind on the singers, 6) is James Blunt

Will said...

Yeah, Number 6 is James Blunt

Anonymous said...

Will, do you even know who James Blunt is? Hmmmmm? Remember, I have a teenager in my home.

Anonymous said...

Actually, Bradley doesn't even like James Blunt, it's me really,(I'm singing "You're Beautiful, it's true" as I type)I just use the teenager line to download good music since I can't seem to grow up in that area (though I still adore the Bee Gees.) So, has anyone heard "White and Nerdy" by Weird Al? :o)

Will said...

What do you mean? Back To Bedlam is a great album!

Impman said...
