I refuse out of principal to listen to anything that has "Featuring" or "FT" or "ftr" in the song title...... 
....Are you being serious!? 
- It's your loss if so.
Good music and fast cars are two of the best things in life.
Well Robin....a rocket powered Dragster is a fast car, just cant see Richard Hammond agreeing with you entirely.
As ever its all about perspective.....
The "Featuring" comment is not about collaboration its about that corner of the music industry which is less about technical ability & artistic talent, what impresses me is the ability to stand up in front of audience of people on a stage and perform music without it just being the guy holding the mike upside down and a dude with a laptop pretending to press the keys in time to the music......
Call me old fashioned.... But look at the
shows laid on by the likes of (for example) the Red Hot Chilli Peppers..... Technically Amazing (not the lightshow but musically!!)
I'm inviting ridicule here (for the record these are not my cup of tea) but I'd rather get dragged by somebody else to a Beyonce/Take That/Kylie Concert to watch world class musicians do their thing than listen to even a catchy manufactured song from an artist who insists on misspelling their name with a "Zee" in it to make the name "James" sound more interesting........
I have a pub test....if they cant sing the song in a pub and make it remotely sound like the Album then its fake and therefore not for me......
