ZOMG, IT'S SOPHIE ELLIS-BEXTOR!!!

So because I'm usually a few time zones behind in the music world, I just stumbled upon an artist that I've recently fallen in love with that some of you may already know.

Her name's Sophie Ellis-Bextor and besides the fact that she sings with an English-accent AND has a hypenated last name, she has a very unique face shape... I think there's a name for it, but if she wasn't singing, she wouldn't be out of place on a fashion runway some where for a big name designer. Her music style is pretty cool.... apparently her musical inspiration is electronica, 1980s and disco, and to me, she kinda has a dash of Madonna mixed in with a dash of Kylie Minogue.

Besides that, she features a number of second-cups in her videos :-D.

Here's a sample of some her work:

(This is where some of you may have seen/heard of her.... this is where she's running around Venice in a red dress)

(Second cup #1.... I'm in love with the guy she's dancing with...... Also her quirkiest song/video, in my opinion.)

(Second cup #2..... Also in love with the guy she's speed dating with... HE HAS SUCH A NICE SMILE!!! Also a sample of how beautiful she looks regardless of hair colour.)

(This is the one that convinced me that she could be a haute couture fashion model..... I believe the actual song is a remix of one of Cher's songs.

(I think this is my favourite video thus far.... a lot of energy in this one.)

(Correction.... this one is my favourite video thus far.... very cool, especially the beginning.)

Hope you enjoy! I know I am!!! SOPHIE!!!! *DIES*

Thanks for sharing, Rubin!

Yeah, didn't know she existed...but very talented! One of the few singers to me who sorta retain their accent singing...pretty cool.

I really liked the speed dating one, and the last one with the mannequins--both clever ideas! And yeah, she's a chameleon...it's not often you can look great in every hair colour and style!

OOOOOOOHHHH!!!! Haha! That's where I've seen "Catch You".... When I saw it a few days ago, I was like.... "I think I've seen this video......"... Haha... sorry for stealing your thunder, Nyx, but like I said, I am several time zones behind in the world of music...

:O

There was something awfully familiar about "Catch You," but I totally dismissed it. >_>

Forgive me Nyx! Don't make me cry at the discoteque anymore!
