Gah. Some of her songs would be good, if sung by someone else. But her voice, while interesting, is fingernails-scatch-down-the-blackboard annoying to me.

I know! That's why it's fascinating. She sounds like a James Bond movie.

Thought I, "How bad could it be?"

Ow.

It's a solid jazz voice. I like her singing in Rehab even more, but her style reminds me of a lot of older Motown and pop.

I really like her voice. Thanks, kat!

How odd. I was just looking (unsuccessfully) for tickets to her concert to surprise my girlfriend with. You all don't have tickets for the philly show, do you?
Posted by Jutsa Notha Name (Member # 4485) on :
Yeah, I was just hearing about her on the radio as if she were a new artist. She broke into the US charts at #7 something like a year or so ago, so I thought it was funny.

No tickets, although I wish I could go to the New York concert. I almost could...maybe...
She sounds so weary and unhappy and defiant, but still her own person. The more I listen to "You Know I'm No Good", the more I like it.

I'm going to have to listen to this when I get home. Yes, her voice is very.. james bondy.. I'm not sure I like it, but the snippet I listened to is stuck in my head.

I heard about her a few months ago. She's good, but I don't quite get all the fuss.
Maybe if I listened to more of her stuff I'd get hooked.
