Jamie Cullum's Magic

Now let me start by saying, I am far from a Rihanna fan. In particular I HATE her song "Please Don't Stop the Music". That song ruined my life the summer that it came out. It was all over television, in people's cars, a work. Even on holiday in Lanzarote, I had to walk out of a bar because I couldn't stand it anymore. So I think you get the jest when I say I hated that song with a passion.
So I was at work a couple of weeks ago (La Senza) and this song comes on. I could tell it was Jamie Cullum because he has a unique tone to his voice. I was loving the song, I was in my own little bubble. But why wad I singing along? The first time I've heard this song, yet I knew the words! WTH! I was starting to get creeped out. Then I realised he was probably covering an old track. I was racking my brains here. When I realised he was singing the same song that I have HATED for so long, I wanted to jump off a cliff lol.
This is truly MAGICAL. This version is so beautiful and intimate, compared to the club classic Rihanna created. I refuse to actually watch the video, because I have my own little version of a video in my head and I refuse to tarnish it. If you want to know what the video is, email me lol. But anyway, I'm a big fan of Jamie Cullum when he does his covers. I don't know if you've heard any of his previous covers, such as Frontin by Pharell, High & Dry by Radioheads, but they are beautiful. He puts his soul into them. I just wish he did a album with nothing else but covers from different genres. *Sigh* a girl can dream.
I absolutely love this song and I hope you appreciate it too...
