You would think so, since he invited her to sing for the ChCh Memorial service last year.  I'm pretty sure we've seen a similar little blurb like that before, too.  I would say he has good taste, but he likes Katy Perry. |

I am always very sceptical about politicians statered musical preferences. It is not unknown for them to "like" something so that they are seen to sgare popular taste.

That's silly, Martin. Can't a politician even like music without people getting suspicious?  I'd be much more concerned if they didn't like music! And don't you think this is good publicity for Hayley, at least? |

We have cases of UK politicians saying that they liked a popular pop band, yet knew nothing about them. Probably can't name a single song they have recorded. With politics it is all about conning you into thinking they are ordinary people just like you. Hoping you might vote for them. Rather than the Mafia like crooks that most of them really are. Except perhaps Tony Blair, who used to play in a band. Mind you, New Zealand always seems to me a kinder place than here most of the time. Except when they attack Hayley!  Martin D |

I don't see Prime Ministers as "politicians" because they're higher up than that. For an accomplished person such as John Key to support Hayley shows personal taste rather than political savvy, since not everyone in his constituency is a big fan of hers. It's actually a bold statement, and that's good when national leaders are bold like that.
