When did The Guardian publish that? Maybe I can find it online.

It's an old one. I did try googling it but nothing. I know I have it on the computer and hard copy but... Would have been AI/BIAB time

Too bad. It's quite hard to find old stuff like that, but thanks for looking!
Since it was AI time period I'll post these as a substitute. :happy:

Still hoping I can uncover it. That second one is such a cool action shot

Yeah, it'd be cool if you found it!

This is really cute. Billie looks so pretty! The cup blends in with his shirt, though, and something about it is throwing me off.

Billie looks super pretty here, too.

I don't care for that song to begin with so I will certainly not be listening to a Miranda Lambert duet.

He looks like such a sweet innocent little muffin. ❤️

"Ordinary World" has grown one me. It is a beautiful song. I have somehow managed to never hear the Miranda Lambert duet and now I am not sure if I want to. 🤣

Ordinary World is fine. It's a nice song, but I still hate that it's the closing song on RevRad. I think Forever Now is a better fit. And the Miranda Lambert version is horrible. I still don't understand why they picked her to sing the song with him.

Ordinary World is one of my favorite GD songs, but I only listened to the Miranda Lambert version once.  That was enough.  Billie should have performed it with Norah.  With Norah, they're singing together.  With Miranda, it's like two people who happen to be singing the same song at the same time, but that's it.  They didn't complement each other.

So I did finally listen to this and I agree their voices don't fit together at all and I have no idea why this was done.

Idk 'Ordinary World' is just gives me huuuuuge "white guy with an acoustic guitar" vibes. I mean, that's literally what it is, but you know. I'm talking about like that douchebag who thinks he's good and brings an acoustic guitar to gatherings and is just the worst stupid white boy. Like Jason Mraz vibes.

If I actually listen to 'Ordinary World' properly while putting that association aside, it's a great song. Billie is definitely not that kind of person and he's an excellent song writer, but the overall sound of the song just throws me off. Don't know if that makes sense.

EDIT: An excerpt from Reddit that defines it better than I can: If you're not familiar with the term "White Guy With An Acoustic Guitar," it's used to describe any song (not necessarily an acoustic guitar song by a white guy) that tries to sound deep, but fails and instead comes off as pretentious and shallow, and makes the singer look like his/her head is stuck up his/her ass. And in fact Jason Mraz's 'I'm Yours' was one of the undisputed top "WGWAAG" songs. 😂  God, I fucking hate that song.

Another example would be 'Hey Soul Sister' or literally anything else by Train.

I want to make myself clear: I do NOT think OW is in the same category as a WGWAAG song. It's of a much higher caliber than that. The guitar in OW just provokes that association for me and I have to reset myself and realize "This isn't a shitty douchebag song. It's Billie. You're going to be fine." :lol:

On an unrelated note, here's a really pretty picture of Billie.

It looks like Billie is attempting to do Michael Jackson’s lean in this screenshot.

I’m not crazy, I swear.

Didn't he have to have special shoes that hooked into pegs on the stage? otherwise it would have been impossible? LOL
