Dido's ok but gets boring, The only time I like Craig David is when he's being made fun of on Bo Selecta, Alex Parks was the person I wanted to win but now I don't care anymore, and reserve my right to not have opinions on the others.

My mate said one of his friends went to the same school as Craig David and said he was a bit of a loner!

My boyfriend likes Dido (I'm not too familiar but she seems too folksy for me).

I LOVE The Streets and saw them about a year or so ago at their first gig in NYC - they weren't very good live (mikey seemed nervous!) but I've heard they've improved.

Also LOVE Basement Jaxx - great music for running on the treadmill. Rad video for Where's your head at, too.

I like the look of that last pair you have listed (Turin something?) - are they a dj outfit?

My current fave Uk band are The Libertines - they sound very old-school 70s punk rock - the song Up the Bracket sounds a lot like Stiff Little Fingers.

edited to add - do you like or have you heard of Junior Senior? I believe they're from Norway - great danceable disco sounding stuff. Just saw them a few months back and had a great time bopping around.

I really like Basement Jaxx as well especially their last two singles (Lucky Star and Good Luck).

Turin Brakes are a band similar to coldplay.

Yes, I have heard of Junior Senior and they actually come from Denmark. (Near enough)
