As a child of the 70's I went to see Debbie Harry last year to rekindle my love.
She can no longer sing live. Just awful. Marc Almond's a better female singer than she is. (Saw him, too) |

There USED to be girls who could sing, folk, folk rock and rock:
Sandy Denny, Celia Humphris, Liz Fraser (Cocteau Twins), Sonja Krystina, Debby Harry, Jacquie McShee, Judy Collins, Judith Durham, Grace Slick. None of them needed double tracking, and they could do it live too. |
I like Lana Del Rey.

Cher Lloyd, Cheryl Cole, Nicki Minaj, Kesha, Rita Ora, Ellie Goulding.
We are living in a rich vein of musical history |

Complete with fully electronic backing track played, it would seem, on a Rolf Harris stylophone.:rolleyes: Jeeeeesus!
Note to so-called pop gurus: when these little biatches are on radio, ie: we can't see how sexy they (maybe) are, it FAILS!!!!!! Whatever happened to girls who could SING, Debbie Harry being one? The present offering is lame, boring and bland. Get it gone, PLEASE! Does ANYONE actually BUY these tracks? (alcazar: just tuned into Hallam to eat my tea, my wife having American Pap TV on AGAIN, and was bombarded with Kelly Clarkson, (is it Jeremy's girl? If so I now hate him 100% more!), someone just called "Cheryl" and Pink.) Bland, bland, bland, boring, boring, boring and TALENTLESS!!!!!!!! Can't comment on any of the others you listed. |

Can't comment on any of the others you listed. But can she SING? I've only ever heard examples of her double and triple tracked, so i'd say........NO! |
:norty: |
I totally agree Al and I've still relatively young :lol1:
I have didn't even connect up the aerial to my radio in the car as I have no reason to listen to the radio as it's all rubbish these days. Now if I had DAB that would be a different story. |

If you mean note-perfect live then most, not even those in the past that you mentioned, can do that. And what is talent? I'd rather have a not so great singer singing a song they'd wrote than a gormless model singing in tune someone else's rehashed trash. Stay with it until 2:20 *In high heels as well* I'm no Pink fan but have to bow to that.... |
Adele, Emilie Sande, Christina Aguilera none of them can sing a lick clearly
|
You want dreadful lyrics? Who remembers Des'ree's 'gem' in Life:-
# ...I don't want to see a ghost It's the sight that I fear most I'd rather have a piece of toast... # Seriously, WTF. It's beyond comical. :lol: |
Kristina Train is pretty decent.
|
Not forgetting the wonderful Eva Cassidy of course.
Chip |
Eva Cassidy is overrated :nono:
Nobody can say this isn't talent, on a huge scale :notworthy And this was an outstanding performance; |
FFS. Just seen the ad asking for contestents for 2013's X Fvckedoff.
Please... make... it... stop. To echo Andrew Lincoln in Love Actually: "Enough. Enough now." |

Debbie Harry awesome singing lol.....
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J_s2gqYKQI Tulisa really bugs me. Talentless and plain, but made out to be some kind of megastar. I think Cowell saw how big Cheryl Cole got and thought he could do the same with any girl. I like some Blondie tracks but damn that sounded like a cat being strangled. |

I'll give you that one. In amongst all the crap that comes out of X Factor I have to take my hat off to Leona as a clear exception - cracking voice and range.

Plenty of great female artists, just don't expect the mainstream media to give them a minute of airtime.
Sarah McLachlan Heather Nova Alison Kraus Beth Hart KT Tunstall Tori Amos Kate Rusby Michelle Shocked Loreena McKennett Paula Cole etc etc |

She was a slightly above average pub singer doing OK cover versions but nothing of note. Then, like Jeff Buckley, she got famous by dying. |
Pink has talent, she's great live.
I like lana del rey too. When in the mood for some cheesy pop music i like britney, avril lavigne, girls aloud, rhianna but I can appreciate the different between someone singing along to some meaningless words put together for them, and someone who composes, writes and records their own music. The latter is talent, and seems to get massively overlooked. |
I understand that being popular doesn't always equate to having talent, but neither does the fact that someone is not to your personal taste means they are talentless :thumb:
