Most welcome surprise of the year goes to recovering genius Brett Anderson for his cover version of Christina Aguilera's "Beautiful". This is kind of what I was waiting for from his YouTube videos - something original, insightful, special... something only very very few people could pull off. And he's done it, without resorting to irony, without his tongue in his cheek and without somehow coming out of it looking like a major twat. What used to be a very nice ballad by a slightly annoying but talented diva has been turned into, well, a really nice ballad by a slightly annoying and incredibly talented diva.
This took balls, but it paid off so much. Marvelous.
