Way to piss off the Canadians there, buddy.

Late to the ballgame, but Amy Winehouse "Back to Black", or even the new 2 discs "Frank." I like Lily Allen also, and I just bought Duffy this afternoon. I believe Lily is coming out with a new album this year, so I can't wait for that.
Kate Nash is okay, I have only heard bits of Adele, didn't really care for it. I am listening to the 30 second sampler Nicole Atkins' Neptune City at Amazon, sounds pretty good. Probably my next album to purchase.
Some people say Lily Allen's song sound similar, but I would go and purchase her album. I am partial to Amy Winehouse's and both her "Back to Black" and "Frank" has 2-discs special editions!

They're not from the UK but have you guys heard of Sarah Blasko or A Fine Frenzy? I had never heard of them until I was checking out Sarah McLachlan's biography on Itunes and they were listed as followers. Anyone like them at all?

I really dig A Fine Frenzy. It goes well with the selections you are mentioning.

I almost mentioned A Fine Frenzy in my post, along with a few other non-euro artists but didn't want to get too off topic. Since the subject has broadened...

I can't wait for the next six songs. Check it out.

Sharon Jones and The Dap Kings blow all these gals out of the retro soul water. 
I like Winehouse. Some of Duffy's tunes are good ("Rockferry").

feel free to make any other suggestions you want. I didn't check out the videos yet but I will. I actually found the Australian 2004 version of Sarah's Overture & Underscore and the Australian 2003 EP Prelusive on amazon.co.uk. I haven't heard anything from her new album though.

Whoever suggested A Fine Frenzy (dolphinboy?) was right on! It is easily my most played CD as of late along with Duffy.
