Desiree - Opinions?

[Clark Kent]

I haven't heard that much of her music apart from the obvious hits "Kissing You", "You Gotta Be" and "Life", and must admit I thought she was of African-American background, going by the nature of her voice.

I think she's quite a talented woman. Can anyone else recommend other songs/works by her? Thanks in advance.

someone want to give a run down of the job interview part from 'the office' where david brent talks about the philosipher, desiree. I can't be bothered looking for quotes, and I don't know it.

 

[GED YLE]

She was a one hit wonder of the 1990's in the USA.

To a warm and peaceful place.

Where I can rest my weary face.

Now, do you know which philosopher said that?


As an aside. Another of Des'rees songs (note the apostrophe - it gives her validity as an artist) has the worst lyrics of all time.
Something about park, dark, bark and ghost, most, toast.

I can make things out of clay, or eat some hay. I just may .......... and so on.

Hah! I thought you were talking about the French or Belgian pop singer from the early 80s!!! Fine piece of skirt it was too (at the time).

 

[Mr Eagle]

I think the whole "ghost, toast" things sums her up: bloody awful.

 

[Herbs]

Desiree? Aren't they a variety of potato?

 

[Clark Kent]

That'd be "Life", I'd say

Yep and what a ****eful song it was.

I liked 'You Gotta Be'. Great song. Aside from that, not really a fan.
