Sorry my use of 'talentless' was not clear. It was directed at theses artists bringing nothing new to the table - perhaps leeching off the success of White Ladder a few years ago. Hell, it's only my opinion
Powter & Blunt can write a decent pop song & play it live I agree; but it's the way that 12 year olds (hope my brother doesn't read this haha) latch on to them as musical guidance that puts the shudders into me - I suppose it's better than being into all the chav crap!
