Re: Music for trendy teenagers.
That's what I was going to suggest - and super up to date!
EDIT: not my cuppa - but what about Taylor Swift - Fifteen or Your Belong to Me - both easy to listen to and easy for teenagers to relate to ....

I had never heard of Bruno Mars but I've just realised that I have heard the song "Just The Way You Are". He certainly has a nice clear voice that the students could understand.
Maybe the chorus has been used on some Tv advert or something.

Wonder if the boys would think it's too sloppy? Bit of romance won't hurt them.

Re: Music for trendy teenagers.
It's tough finding appropriate contemporary songs though! My boss did the Lily Allen one with the wet patch and giving head... i wonder how he expalined that!!
One that i did recently isn't contemporary but everyone knew it because it was in Shrek, The Monkees 'i'm a believer' and they also had the original 'I've Had The Time of My Life' becuase Black Eyed Peas did a really crap version of it, so they knew that one too.
I'm so sick of the Lady Gaga requests though!
Katy Perry is quite well known here too, and Duffy with her screeching on that advert.

Oh yeah, Amy Winehouse has been a popular one too. I usually stick to Karaoke classics... It's Not Unusual...Eye of The Tiger etc.. it's jsut so funny to hear them belting them out!

, a bit too showing off to admit they need to learn something..

Take That have a newish song out that is popular and I'm also with the Katie Perry suggestion - all the girls think she is great! Alex's age group are with Indie on using The Beatles - big revival in interest there!
