She's won something to do with Eurovision. Either a round in the contest to represent San Marino - or she is going to represent them.

Reminds me of Love is on its Way Out. Nice song.

Sounds like she spent more than the odd day in bed herself….

Only because the nurses in the care home keep putting her back there.

Who is this old crone? Why would we want to hear someone older than our grans singing Gods and Monsters: "f*** yeah give it to me this is heaven what I truly want..."

I'll have you know she's younger than me. Please have some respect for us old 'uns.

Morrissey is nearly a pensioner..........all the good ones are old. Grow the F up.

Dana's my favourite female singer, her 60s and early 70s records are pretty special.
Really looking forward to this album
