Who’s your guilty pleasure?
I don’t like this phrase! as you shouldn’t feel guilty for liking anything you might like (unless it’s Nazi punk or something). I’m not guilty for any music I enjoy. But I can happily say 2 acts that kickstarted my desire to become a performer, were Robbie Williams and McFly.
