IJzerksterke ladder, de nummer 1 vind ik echt geweldig. Kende hem al wel een beetje, maar was vorig jaar rond deze tijd in Lille en hoorde hem daar op de kerstmarkt. Sindsdien echt helemaal om. Nummer 2 was ooit mijn kennismaking met deze groep. Ze hebben wel meer kerstnummers, maar dit vind ik hun beste. Verder ook een flink zwak voor Dean Martin, de ultieme crooner wat mij betreft.

Van de hele bekende vind ik die van Jona het leukste, word ik altijd vrolijk van. Maar eigenlijk mag Wham ook niet ontbreken. En die van Chris Rea vind ik echt een verschrikking, een van de ergste nummers ooit en een reden om maar geen radio aan te zetten in de kerstperiode.

Ik associeer The Power of Love ook vooral met de bruiloft van Kim Holland eigenlijk.
Zag ooit op tv dat 'ie daar werd gedraaid. Maar ik zal de clip eens opzoeken.

Ik wil niet zeuren, maar ik doe het toch, want ik kan me niet inhouden: waarom schrijft iedereen hier de naam van Wham! verkeerd?

Omdattie verkeerd in de ladder zelf staat en iedereen vervolgens copy/paste?

Shake hands. Mijn gedachten.
