The key change is The Big One (see Boyzone, Westlife, any X-Factor winner) and is the most annoying.
I'd also like to add the pointless guitar or (for progressive rock bands) drum solo.+50 Xeno Geek Points

Originally posted by VectraMan View PostI was watching a music programme on TV5 the other day, with French pop artists. They were all singing in French, but with a mid Atalantic American/English accent. I still struggle a lot with spoken French, if it's spoken by the French, but this was quite easy to follow.
I must listen to more French music - I've got a boatload of radio and TV channels here and it's hard to choose. French versions of things like Countdown (Des chiffres et des lettres) can be useful learning tools; you know the programme format and can understand the game, and you can see the words in writing and build your vocabulary.Behold the warranty -- the bold print giveth and the fine print taketh away.Comment
