Great Britain's women do it again - Must be something in the water
 

I'm made no secret of my jealousy of British pop stars, especially female. Spiteri, Adele, Jesse J, Duffy, Lily.

We have Germinotta and Sia, and that's about it, on this level.

Latest to wow on Graham Norton, Imelda May [I know she's been around]

Around 2:45 mark, so powerful from such a small package.

How do we have Sia?

I guess that's fair. Thought you don't generally hear about her as an Australian artist. In addition to her own performances, she writes EVERYTHING for the rest of American artists.

She's kind of like Nicole Kidman in my eyes.

To our credit, T.Bone Burnett is ours.

I have a different perception of her than most. My wife has been a fan of hers since before she blew up here, so I identify her as Australian.

Best finale to a television show, . . ever. Period.

Relevant @ 3:30

Is there any doubt that BL is a drag queen?

Not to shit on Adele because she's great, but I'd throw Lady Gaga/Jennifer Hudson/Ariana Grande out there as current competition.

I never really gave a shit about Ariana Grande's voice because I would just randomly encounter (what I consider to be) overly produced pop-crap that she was doing. But I started seeing other stuff pop up that she did. A lot of it was just her goofing around, and I liked it:
