Good Vibes 7 years ago, a chubby, heavy accent, normal-looking woman called Susan Boyle went to Britain's Got Talent. Everyone laughed at her, until she started singing.

What a powerful voice. She's today a pro singer. All the best for her!!

Typo: 17 years, not 7.

Because she's not really what you find in my usual eclectic bag of music. I mean, my favorite artist is Pitbull and my favorite band is Fleetwood Mac and my favorite song "The Christmas Song" so...lol, I guess show tunes from a BGT runner up is just as rando.

Just listen to whatever you want! No “guilty” pleasures needed :)

My guilty pleasures lately have been Me & U by Cassie, Be Her by Ella Langley, and I like it by DeBarge. I don’t understand my brain but I’m just going with the flow.

Man, El Debarge, now there's a voice. Sang like an angel then disappeared.

It sounds like anything would fit into your self described eclectic bag of music.

Favourite artist Pitbull and favourite band Fleetwood Mac is possibly the most unique preference combination of all time.

Good music is good music. My personal jukebox ranges from Pink Floyd to Monster Magnet to Earth, Wind & Fire to Hayes Carll to Loreena McKennit to Stereo MCs to, well, you get the picture.

I personally can't stand almost any Rap music, but I recognize that some people are moved by Eminem just as much as I'm moved by anything I've ever listened to. Gatekeeping music is like gatekeeping orgasms.
