[@Jake-oc5xz]

Amazing voice

[@garymartin9359]

she is a beautifull person also, having had the honour of meeting her at the Cadogan hall in Chelsea, if anyone thinks this is good you should see her with her husband doing the sound at her shows, ( he did sound for Diana Ross, so he is no lightweight, a true gem that Mr jordan. Her talent is timeless, enduring and pure talent, there is no-one can match her live show energy, i dont mind this song, but my god listen to her perform baby what do you want me to do. The remix of "the rising cost of love" available on download now is absolutely mind blowing, and the sleeve pic is stunning of her, my words of praise simply cant do her talent justice and it really makes me happy to see her having a top ten album again and a much raised public profile, well deserved! i wish she would perform with Jools holland, it just seems the two greats would make even more fabulous music for us all to enjoy. Lee nobles contribution to her Powerless album (why) is stunning, her rendition of Dylans make you feel my love blows the Adele version out of the water, and thats saying something cos Adele is another talent that we Brits can be very proud of! i simply can not get enough of Elkie brooks, my number one singer since 1978. One final note, " running to the future" is awesome!!
