Isn’t YouTube great? More talking cats than you could ever need, biting babies, countless really bad videophone recordings that are completely inaudible, and Hobbie Stuart. This handsome Brighton lad’s been uploading atmospheric, acoustic and heavily auto-tuned covers of mostly female pop stars, and he’s probably the closest thing we have to a smooth-voiced, smooth-chested Brighton Beiber. Hundreds of thousands of views can’t be wrong, right? Right.
