Honestly, this is flawless:

Celebrity karaoke at its finest…and most attractive.

Ignore the video. Why do you lie about love? I saw the light go out.

I’ve said it once and I’ll say it again: Alison Krauss can’t put a note wrong. (Though I am a bit concerned with how much she looks like Posh Spice in this video.) It would be wrong to ignore the awesomeness of the rest of the band, too.

Go to hell, I love this song. (I also like Norah a lot since a friend worked with her on the De-Lovely soundtrack and reported that she really is as sweet and unassuming – and beautiful – as you’d guess.)

Alison can do no wrong in my ears.

Nina Persson out of Cardigans sings this, another one I must have listened to at least six million times in a row, and sung twice as many times. I don’t want to stop it, oh no, oh no.

A perfect, perfect record. Cerys Matthews is one of my favorite singers ever. (And isn’t she beautiful, too?) This also makes an excellent karaoke song, if they’ve got it. Usually, I just sing it around the house or wherever else I happen to be. Seriously, I haven’t stopped singing this song since 2001. Sadly, this was the band’s last video (I hadn’t seen it until now, and it’s probably my favorite of all of their videos, too). I loooooooved Catatonia.

Brilliant lyrics here; oddly, they make me miss the place. (You don’t have to be Welsh to appreciate this: I come alive outside the M25 / I won’t drink the poison Thames / I’ll chase the sun out west)

Speaking of karaoke! It’s just a three minute song / It doesn’t last very long / But it’ll take you to a place I know you’d rather be…
