He was a dick to Rita Ora, and he’s being a dick now. Your boo don’t take rejection well.

It’s possible she’s on some sort of diazepam type drug at the moment, because she’s been through a major trauma, or she’s in complete and utter shutdown. I know I would be.

I applaud both the sentiment AND the use of Lying Cat. I loves me some Lying Cat.

‘Walk’ by the Foo Fighter. Sung it for years, suddenly one rehearsal I nearly lost it. I’d been ill, and I felt better and the words made sense. It still gets me.

You can’t, really. You have to get it together enough to carry on and try not to completely break down. Which is what my girl did :)

She’s...I have no words for her. A hug perhaps, but no words.

Phew! I thought I was going mad!!

We appropriated that from America, because back then America was cool. Give props to those of us like Dusty Springfield who fought for black Motown artists to be heard.

That’s just a cultural assumption that anyone who sounds ‘soulful’ must be black. It’s not the singer’s fault that people make those assumptions.

Hang on, I didn’t post that.

No Punk is not rude boy culture. British ska is.

The idea of sounding ‘black’ or ‘white’ seems a little odd for Brits to understand - in fact, if I heard someone accuse someone of ‘sounding black’ it’s usually from a racist prick.

I hate to be in the position where I’m defending her, but her Uncle is this man - http://www.trinijunglejuice.com/burtontoney.ht…

Yeah, no, that’s her voice. You can tell when she’s had a cold, when she’s tired, and you’re just being a snippy old man.

Huh, so it is. Thanks :)

Psst - it’s ‘Saville’ not ‘Seville’...

Right, but that’s not quite the same as an accent or dialect. Sov’s not faking anything, stealing anything or pretending to have a different accent than she actually has - same as you’re not faking a Jamaican accent.

It’s more of a blend than appropriation perhaps. Kids would be ripped apart for using it here in rural Suffolk, because most of the kids are middle-class and it’s not the local accent in any way shape or form. The estate that Sov is from though (which isn’t there now), that’s fine because that’s how people spoke. It’s…

She’s amazing. I <3 her. I’d have picked Public Warning or Blah Blah for that list mind :)

Yeah, not here. It’s legit London.
