Interesting point that one, great looking and sounding act, and the song had hit written all over it, but would it have cracked it without him?

Does having your once famous grandmother on stage with zimmer frame help sales these days?
Yes, if he has a brilliant voice - but Tom really hasn't... that sexually charged gravel had charm in his twenties; sounds sad in his 60's.
I think it would have been top three with a decent singer on it.

Next question - DAZ.
Should this not have been far bigger by now after all those TV's? Not that TOTP means anything these days, sadly.
But wouldn't a real hit have gone top five - certainly top ten?
Not a good sign for Eurovision especially when there are real hits (Romania; Russia) in the competition.

Jacko - is this doing him or Sony any good at all?
Discuss please (without being silly and tabloid).

And the missing link between all three of the above?
Guy bloody Holmes.

I can see Jacksons thinking (and his peoples)in wanting to get straight back out there doing what he does, but I think waiting another year would have given the release a lot more credibilty, and sales.
It would simply matter more.
The Chicane song, on at least one of the mixes on the 12" version, does not appear evident, I`m listening as I type, and I am guessing chorus only.(Love the bass on it).
