Unfamiliar with this week's tune? Hear it here.
1) In this week's song, Paloma Faith sings that she thought she wouldn't care if her lover left but now she's begging him to stay. Can you think of something you were surprised you missed when it was gone or over? Ooh, not that I can think of!
2) Paloma obviously has a powerful, versatile voice. She's also a trained dancer. Tell us about two things you do well. I'm a good writer and a hard worker.
3) She was a judge on two British TV shows: The Voice and The Voice Kids. Do you watch competition shows (The Voice, American Idol, Dancing with the Stars, etc.)? If so, are you any good at picking the winners? I have strong opinions about who I think should win but don't necessarily accurately predict who actually will. The reality is these shows are popularity contests, and extremely talented, deserving contestants don't always make it as far as they should, especially on Dancing with the Stars where the contestants are coming in with a fanbase already, and others make it farther when they probably shouldn't.
4) This week's song was written by Diane Warren. She's one of America's most successful song writers, having written more than thirty Top 10 hits. Think of your favorite song. Do you know who wrote it? Most of my favorite songs were written by the musicians performing them.
5) She's made a fortune writing love songs, mostly from her Hollywood Hills office. Diane spends up to 10 hours a day in a room she describes as "cluttered," and admits it's an unlikely setting to write about romance, yet it works for her. Describe a setting you consider romantic. The beach. But I also think this is because I find it relaxing.
6) In 2014, when "Only Love Can Hurt Like This" was popular, Joan Rivers died. Best known as a comedienne, she was also a successful businesswoman, promoting her jewelry line on QVC. Do you ever watch shopping networks? Nope.
7) The Apple Watch was introduced in 2014. Are you wearing a watch as you answer these 9 questions? I am not. I'm not a watch person. I typically forget to wear them.
8) One of the best-selling books of 2014 was The Fault in Our Stars by John Green. It won awards for best YA (young adult) fiction. Is YA a genre you often read? Not often, no, but when a book, such as The Fault in Our Stars, starts getting lots of a attention, I do try to make it a point to check it out eventually.
9) Random question: What's something on your to-do list that you just can't get around to doing? Laundry has piled up pretty badly, although there's a few reasons for that.
