she's flat in two departments (that i know of )

after 2 stellas i'd definitely give her five minutes worth. three minutes if she turned out to be noisey.



markus - i'd like to give you a run down on my taste in music but it would take too long and probably wouldn't mean anything to you.

sorry.

Tunes are OK if you like that sort of thing. I don't mind her music if I'm in that sort of mood, but I may well prefer Aerosmith, The Rolling Stones or Beethoven. it all depends...

But she's lovely and a really nice person as well. Plus she's capable of holding a conversation about real subjects.

Then again, that probably acts as a turn-off to 90% of the blokes on here anyway

The idea of the this was, I presume, to create the correct mood of desolation and despair prior to gassing yourself in the vehicle?

Glad you didn't do it, after all anyone who rips off this talentless little tarts (with no ****) music rather than buying it can't be all bad.

Like I said, the ability to hold a conversation and think for herself is clearly too much for most of the blokes here.

Besides, small ***** are just fine And I think she's cute as anything. If you don't that's entirely up to you. Perhaps you think the bugeye Impreza is a really great styling exercise - there truly is no accounting for taste...

Exclamation

Am I the only one on the planet that saw this so called singer hit every wrong note and display the complete inability to hold key for the length of one of her depressing songs on last years MTV awards.

Her records are passable simply because they are sooooo overproduced and her voice has NO strength to it at all.......... FACT

Bring back Ella Fitzgerald

no - i saw it too. it was unbelievably bad - laughable in fact .

about female artists that i do like:

well Amy Winehouse can sing; Norah Jones can sing although her material can be a bit bland. i don't listen to that much current stuff though. why bother when you can listen to ann peebles, freda payne, lucinda williams? people with real soul and real voices.

"I used to be a Leonard Cohen fan"

Shame you aren't still really, at least there is some beauty in his music and lyrics. Unlike "nice person" Dido, Leonard could fart "Sisters of Mercy" and it would still be streets ahead of any of her feeble warblings.
