Go to: apollo.radio.com.pl/scripts/trojka/trojkowa_lista_przebojow/glosuj.idc (I just checked it, and actually voted; it works) 2. Click on the boxes left to the titles of the songs you wish to vote for; they're sorted alphabetically in ascending order. "Clear Horizon" can be found at "C" letter. 3. You can vote for up to 10 songs. 4. When you finish, scroll to the end of the page and click "GLOSUJ" button. (WYCZYSC will reset your votes) 5. Remember to vote for Robbie Williams too ;) (well, if you wish to do something for me... :))) 6. When you vote successfully, the browser will print the scores so far; my vote for Basia was her 22nd. Have fun! Oh, BTW, you can vote the chart weekly.

Maybe it's better that she doesn't know! >Hmmm... something to think about. Considering all of the things she said in that interview Tomasz translated for us about living in a regular house, in a regular neighborhood, not wanting to stay in fancy hotels, etc., I'm quite sure she wouldn't want to spend her time listening to people like us worship her. She seems to like keeping her life relatively low-key. Can't blame her. I don't think I'd want all this attention, either. - -Brian* Born in Dallas, TX.

Maybe I'm lonely in that regard too. Boo. :) Quit braggin' Leslie! ;) I'm wondering how you have time to: attend school (you are attending school, no?); do all your design work (that' you?); AND somehow know just about EVERYTHING about the music business! Are you a child prodigy? You're definitely an underage prodigy, anyway. In response to the geographic debate, let's not forget which Great American City Ms. T came to in order to kick off her career: CHICAGO!!! Powimy po polska. Y'all might have to come on over here, because for CERTAIN she'll be making a stop here when she tours. (That's WHEN, not IF.) Now, I would love to encourage more of you lurkers to just quietly raise your hands and say where you're from. The scope of this list gets more interesting every day! Jan the nutty Brit says: >I know I'm the nutty Brit and all, but I spend about 60 days a year in Cincinnati.......does that count?? Jan, it definitely counts. Now don't you forget to tell us when you visit, so we can put a face with the name and charming Irish blessings, and so you can teach us some more British cursewords.

That's a name I have not heard in 12 years. She actually came to Calcutta with an entourage of various Russian artists and performers (including the Moscow Bolshoi) for this cultural exchange concert (in exchange various Indian artists toured Russia). So I got to hear her in concert at the stadium. Couldn't understand a thing she sang but loved her songs nevertheless. Wow! However, she should not have been wearing that dress, but I digress.

She did most of the show in English...including +ACI-Eyes of a Child+ACI- from her +ACI-White Door+ACI- album. She retired as a performer, now, but has become a producer. She, like Basia is a writes some very insightful songs. At 40+-, there are a lot of dresses that she really shouldn't wear, but you can just close your eyes and enjoy. - -----Original Message----- From: Ashoke S.
