Have you ever wanted a talent that you don't have? My best friend growing up, Anna, was one of the best singers I know. In fact when I first joined a new junior school after moving house, I tried out for the school choir. They auditioned you by groups of 3-4, so I figured out if I didn't actually sing, I'd make the cut. The music teacher basically cut the singers that sung badly. Since I didn't sing, she didn't hear me singing badly!
And so I joined the choir and I got to spend more time with Anna - my new best friend!
Tonight as I was surfing the web I saw clips of Leona Lewis singing Snow Patrol's Run and then Sarah McLachlan and Pink singing Angel. Song and singers such as that inspire me and I wish I could sing. I guess in my next lifetime!
What talent do you wish you had?
I saw that Leona Lewis cover. It was woeful!!!
Has Dave gone anywhere interesting?

So this is way, way late. But I was looking at a video on youtube today (which I posted on my blog) and decided there was nothing more fulfilling, delicious, and amazing; nothing that renews my faith in the human race more than discovering real, raw talent. If I had the choice, I'd rather have Simon's job than be the incredible singer on the stage.
