1) Wet Wet Wet – Goodnight Girl
Just absolutely beautiful.
2) Michael Jackson – Lovin’ you
Love both MJ’s original demo and the new version by Timbaland. Very jazzy.

3) Michael Jackson – Xscape (Original version)
The original version. I love hearing how MJ wanted his songs, not them all remixed by ‘hot’ producers. The new version is unrecognisable and utterly crap. I remember the original leaking years ago and always loving this track.

4) Alanis Morisette – Thank You
Depressing but fab.
5) Michael Jackson – Stranger In Moscow
Hauntingly beautiful. One of his most underrated songs from his career and my favourite MJ song. Incredible video too. Captures loneliness perfectly.
6) Deniece Williams – Let’s hear it for the boy
Irresistible pop fun!
7) Whitney Houston – Run to you
Absolutely stunning. This woman was incredible, as were the writers of this song.
8) Whitney Houston – I wanna dance with somebody
SO catchy!
9) Dolly Parton – Here you come again
Love Dolly! Such a beautiful song. Easy to relate to as well.
10) Melanie C – What if I stay
This woman is SO incredibly underrated. Love this – so beautiful and heartfelt. Also very chilled out.
