saw her video this morning, and was kinda digging the song. What's her story, I haven't heard much about her. Album any good?

    I haven't bought the album either. I've only heard three songs but I really love them all! She has a cool voice and is completely different from all the other modern female singers, in personality, style and music.

    She's a drunken mess, but her recent album is very good. I've had it in my daily rotation for a couple of weeks now.

    She has a great old-school jazzy voice... a little etta james to it or something...

    One of the best new singers to come around in awhile even though this is her second record. the first is only available in the UK.

    She's uglier than Courtney Love and her voice sounds like Lauryn Hill.

    Ghostface Killah from Wu-Tang caught wind of her, did a remix of "You Know I'm No Good," brought attention to her stateside (she already had a previous album a couple of years ago in the UK) and she's since become an international star.

    My wife was loving Rehab and I enjoyed You Know I'm No Good, so we picked up the album...both disappointed in it overall. The "throwback" sound comes off as a novelty after awhile because there's nothing NEW to it.

    basically, dirty crack-whore with a great bluesy/jazzy voice :)

    I've had to endure her skanky mug on the cover of both Rolling Stone and Spin over the past 2 months. She's enjoying her 15 minutes. It's a cute act but it will be over soon.

    The first one of you punks to steer the thread towards why I get RS or Spin gets an internet wedgie.
    It is time to admit that we used to rock like hurricanes. It is time to run for the hills and go round and round. It is time for us to shout at the devil. We've got the right to choose it, there ain't no way we'll lose it, and we're not gonna take it anymore.

    Total crack whore drunken train wreck waiting to happen. I'll follow her career and stints in rehab with great interest.

    She's dirty and likes to beat the crap out of her husband when in a drunken rage. He's no prize either, however. There's a lovely shot of him in RS blowing snot out of his nose in public. Such a classy pair. She has a pretty unique voice and a vintage sound to her music that's somewhat cool though.
    We’ll meet again, but not yet…not yet.

    Her album is very good and well worth getting. ITs a pity about her tattoos she would be much nicer without them

    She's gonna be at lollapalooza on that Sunday that Pearl Jam plays... however, she's on the same time as Perry Ferell so I'll miss it. Just thought it might be useful info for anyone going.

    she's making a habit of getting so wasted that she can't be bothered to turn up to her own gigs. and when she does she seems to enjoy spitting at the audience. nice voice though.
