Sunny, although I'd love to see that too, it's an auction charity so chances are there won't be any singing at all.

lol I didn't mean at the charity, I meant .... in general a collab would be cool, you know?! :) That'd so rock, even though I don't see it happening. It was just a random thought :p

With Willa lacking a record company, that's not likely to happen any time soon.
