To celebrate years since its release.

I will be reviewing this with fresh ears, honestly and critically.

2 hours and 4 minutes to go?

Surprised no one seems to have made an animation of the cover with her leg going up and the cat being booted straight towards you

I once saw Michael Barrymore on a chat show saying that ‘I Might’ve Been Queen’ is what the DJ played when he took Diana out after The Divorce. All very Soho. Cheryl Barrymore disapproved of their friendship - she thought they brought out the worst in each other. This must’ve been before his own downfall. How prescient she was in many ways. Cassandra Barrymore.

I liked Michael Barrymore.

It has started!

Track 1 - I Might Have Been Queen.

Queen were a band. How could she have been a band?

Sounds like .

Mark Knoblauch on guitar?

No she's just died.

As she just said in the song. I think.

He doesn't even play on his own song! I think it's Jeff Beck on Private Dancer.
