Duffy
Duffy is one of my favourite singers. I knew came to know this singer when I stumbled upon an audition video of an auditioner from a famous talent show. She was singing "Mercy", one of her many famous songs. In this special tape, she was so hilarious. , in her (the auditioner) own special and hilarious version. Your sentence is too long and hard to understand, though it may be grammatically correct.
Since then, I had been starting to searching for Duffy's her songs and videos. Then I was amazed by Her angelic voice always amazes me. To me, her voice can be likened to the baby's. It is like a bird twittering in the air, so innocent like a baby's cooing.
Besides "Mercy", I also like her other songs like her renditions of "Too Hurt To Dance", "Endlessly" and "Breath Away". However, Recently I like "Too Hurt To Dance" is now my favourite the most. I can listen to it repeatedly over and over again. I feel I am and on my way becoming an addict now.
Even as I am writing this notebook entry, while I am listening to it the song; so moving and beautiful.
Cheers.
