Boston Brand Media discovered the trending where the vocalist despises a specific James Blunt smash hit and finds inspiration from Chaka Khan, but which Australian poet does she believe penned the greatest song ever?

‍The first song I remember hearing

My mother adored Nina Simone despite her dyspraxia. She frequently hosted dinner parties where, despite her rhythmic challenges, she would encourage guests to dance. I vividly recall her clapping offbeat to Simone's "Baltimore."

‍The first single I bought

I purchased "Especially for You" by Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue on cassette from Woolworths on the high street in Stoke Newington, using the savings from my piggy bank.

‍The song I do at karaoke

"I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston is a karaoke favorite of mine. Despite being a singer, friends often refuse to join me, assuming I'll overshadow them. However, I enjoy karaoke not for showcasing my talent, but for the freedom to release emotion without pressure to perform perfectly. It's a cherished pastime where I can let go and simply revel in the power of music.

‍The song I inexplicably know every lyric to

Tracy Chapman's self-titled debut album, featuring "Fast Car," was a staple on every road trip during my childhood. It played on repeat through the cassette player, and I became intimately familiar with every lyric on the album.

‍The best song to play at a party

Growing up in Hackney, there's a distinctive dance routine that Londoners like me instinctively perform whenever "Candy" by Cameo starts playing. It's a unique cultural phenomenon that sets us apart at parties, leaving others bewildered by our synchronized moves. This shared experience bonds us as Londoners, creating a sense of belonging and camaraderie wherever the song plays.

‍The song I secretly like but tell everyone I hate

Susan Boyle's rendition of "Wild Horses" by the Rolling Stones captures a rare vulnerability and nervousness that adds a unique beauty to her performance.

‍The song I can no longer listen to

"You're Beautiful" by James Blunt is criticized for its perceived lack of merit despite the praise it received. Those involved in its creation may have been proud, but some argue that the song didn't warrant such acclaim.

‍The best song to have sex to

Believer by SYML, because it’s deep and sensual.

‍The song I wish I had written

"For me, 'Into My Arms' by Nick Cave is the epitome of musical greatness. Its profound impact evolves with life's stages, particularly resonating when I became a parent for the first time."

‍The song that gets me up in the morning

"Onision's 'I'm a Banana' is a song my kids can't get enough of on Spotify. Despite its questionable quality, its sheer absurdity serves as an effective motivator, quickly getting everyone up and ready for the day."

‍The song that changed my life

"I'm Every Woman" by Chaka Khan resonates deeply with its message of unity and empowerment, reminding us to embrace sisterhood and reject the notion of competition among women. It fosters a powerful sense of solidarity and celebrates the commonality that binds us all together.

‍The song I’d like play at my funeral

Non, Je Ne Regrette Rien by Édith Piaf.
