I’m just hoping that somewhere along this promising horde,  a performance as outstanding as that of Amy Winehouse’s might come forth…though Duffy seems a likely contender (what? No Kate Nash? How about Adele???).

The mix is quite good,  not exactly the dino-fest other blogsites were screaming about.  You got your backpacker hip hop,  your trendy electro - not to mention all stuff in between.

Now if only I could get myself tickets and sneak with my sister and her family during their annual US pilgrimage…
