Lord have mercy

The question-du-jour for Duffy - the hot young singing sensation who isn’t Adele - is, “where did you find your voice?”, currently being asked of her at a rate of about four times per interview. Shockingly, people are finding it hard to believe those are her natural tones.

The 23-year old Welsh native recently caused eruptions of laughter worldwide by hilariously suggesting that she’d poached her uniquely-annoying trill from a box beneath her mother’s bed, when really a more honest answer would have been, “I’m just doing a rubbish Dusty impression”, or “this isn’t my voice - I’m only putting it on”.

Her new single ‘Mercy’ (ie some poor soul’s woeful attempt to follow a non-existent Amy Winehouse ‘template’ based on the success of ‘Rehab’) is out at the end of the month, followed by an album soon after. We literally cannot wait.
