In these days of reality show pop wannabes, it could be argued that the
phrase "plucked from obscurity" has been as overused as the
bottle of viagra at Hefner's house. But when you consider a waitress,

this getting through to Saturday, which again si a bit of a shame because
Andorra deserve more success than the pants record they have up til now. |
