To Brits or not to Brits

I find music programmes and competitions very interesting - new and old talents mix, you get to know something more about each of them. Now I know that Adele is a boring person, that Leona Lewis has a marvellous voice and that the Osbournes are complete nutters. Nothing new about the latter you may say...

The idea of artists and musicians has changed drastically. Globalisation I suppose. Now you've got to play the excentric and hang out your "logo", otherwise you disappear among the others. All these artists were playing their role very hard trying to impress. But then Paul MacCartney comes along.... and you see what a real musician really is like: comfortable on stage, a short poignant speech, great music, involving the crowd and an amazing show.

Naturally in his environment.
