Those Brits are a Talented Bunch

This is just a quick post to link to a video I saw on YouTube I would normally just embed it but they wont allow this one to be embedded. This is way better than the crap that spits on on American Idol and, shows you shouldn't judge by appearance alone. Give this a look:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9lp0IWv8QZY … [Read more...]
