it's chico time!

i am completely perplexed. i know that the state of music today leaves many with heads begging to be scratched, but this pop star who's the first musician of Arab origin (AND he's a former goat herder/stripper!) to have a #1 single (he also surpassed Madonna). i love that british people are more accepting of different types of musical artists and people of different ethnic origins in the music industry. but this guy's music is um...NOT what i think of when i think of good British music. please listen but i can't promise that your ears will forgive you for that torture.
