Ha ha ha she can't even sing :laughing:

 

Objectively, she has brilliant range and vocal strength. Plus she has a really unique timbre to her voice (you can always tell which are her parts, where Posh's/Geri's/Emma's all meld into one), which subjectively is really striking.

 

So yeah, you pretty much fail.

That's what I've got so far. Had to stick with reasonably well known tracks because it's for my Dad's 50th birthday do, there's a lot of people from a lot of different age groups coming. Some years I was kinda stuck and just went with the best I could find and others I've been spoilt for choice and went with one song per artist to sort that.

Can't help but notice you omitted Sir Chesney Hawkes. Fail list is fail.

It's ok... list isn't bad in places but could be better, '06 for example... couldn't you find anything better than 'Gnarls Barkley'? I never understood why that song was so 'popular' personally, but anyway, no ones gonna agree to the list 100% but then it isn't about what we all think as it's for your Dads 50th and I'm sure he'll appreciate the effort that you went to in order to compile this playlist. :)
