[kj] Wow. Just, wow.

[Nick Scott]

I wouldn't quite go that far into it, it's just a bit of harmless mashing
up, a non-commercially released mashup between totally different genres.

Whilst I (and I am sure many) KJ fans do not enjoy contemporary R&B,
mashups work best when almost opposing genres come together...and it does
work.

Meanwhile.....

Ellie Goulding has covered The Waterboys "How Long Will I Love You",
anaesthetised it into the sort of shit you would hear in Rom Com dramas
such as Love Actually, Bridget Jones Diary et al.

Not only has she covered it, she is releasing it as a single, not only is
it being released as a single, its being released as a charity single
(Children In Need).

This means it is destined to be a UK no.1 Single of which I am sure 80% of
the charity buying public will deem it a "nice song" and will not even have
a fucking clue it was not wrote by her.

That to me is more damaging than a mashup of a KJ and a Cher Lloyd song.
