I had to sit through Pink live on tv once i have to say by far the most overrated and talentless person i've seen. What is wrong she with people that sells out stadiums?
Did anyone mention M.I.A? i forget this thread has gone on so long.
If you like singer-songwriter types, check out Jenn Grinels. She is still unsigned, but I can't imagine that remaining the case for too long. Absolutely incredible voice. Good lyricist and guitar player. You can listen to some of her stuff at http://www.myspace.com/jenngrinels.
It makes much more sense to live in the present tense.
I thoroughly disconcur. Shite singer (oooh wooohhh wooohooowoohhhh. Calm down there Aretha), shite band, shite attitude. She makes out like she's some martyr for women, lesbians and morbidly obese people, and just wants to be treated the same as everyone else and yet SHE is the one that never shuts up about it. How is heart disease and joint problems a good role model for the kids? Christ... few people upset me like Beth Ditto
Well obviously I disagree with you about HER SINGING. She has an incredibly powerful and soulful voice.
I totally agree about her weight thing though, so many fat people miss the point. I couldn't care less what it looks like from an aesthetic point of view, but being that heavy is an appalling way to treat your body.
Y'know, I really don't like Kate Nash's voice (clearly put on. she is not a cockney) but damn, I think I love her She's cuter than a box of baby polar bears.
"I remember one night at Muzdalifa with nothing but the sky overhead, I lay awake amid sleeping Muslim brothers and I learned that pilgrims from every land — every colour, and class, and rank; high officials and the beggar alike — all snored in the same language"
I love PJ Harvey's work particularly but someone who has got my attention recently is Gabriella Cilmi. Most of my favourite artists are hardly played on popular radio stations but i like what ive heard of her. There are a few female artists doing well in the pop charts in the Uk at the moment like Amy Winehouse, Amy Macdonald, Duffy, KT Tunstall etc, but the songs ive heard of hers have impressed me most. Cant help but love the song that's out just now, Sweet About Me, dont care if its cheesy pop!!

Anneke Van Giersbergen from the Gathering. Best female singer I've ever heard.

I am not sure if she writes her own songs (any of them, some of them), but they are pretty damn catchy.
Take care,
