Marje	No man's land protest (276* d)	RE: No man's land protest	09 Nov 14
To return to the topic of the song, I've now had a listen to part of the Joss Stone version. I couldn't stand more than a verse or so of it , so I never got as far as the bowdlerised bit. It's a truly dreadful rendition - over-orchestrated, cheesy, messy - and why did anyone think it was a good idea to choose a singer who favours a fake-American, "soul" style of vocals? Utterly inappropriate, and the result is simply a horrible noise, with neither the tune nor the lyrics easy to discern. Yesterday's Independent carried a report about this controversy, and quoted Bogle's reservations about this version of his song. Marje
