That Robert Burton-Bradley is an ASS! Not that I know him.. 😉
But I love Sat In Your Lap vid!

Gwyneth cannot sing and I am appalled that she covered Kate’s song.

What’s interesting is that Ms Paltrow didn’t even try to reinterpret it. It sounds like an average karaoke night performance.

While I agree that the “Sat In Your Lap” video is a pretty bad (I love the song itself), I still watch it because she is incredibly hot in that video. No – I’m not that shallow and have loved Kate’s music, lyrics, voice and artistic choices for many, many (many) years. I’m just saying that although she is “beautiful” in most videos, I think she is particularly “hot” in that one in an early 80’s way – even with the roller skating bulls and stu-stu-stuttering edits still making me roll my eyes after all of these years.

Thanks – I will delete the link, and note that I already linked the original in the “Directors Cut” news items. Thought I had seen that word “slathered” recently.
