Something Completely Different
 

I my free web-time I am always searching for new things, something I have not encountered before: some idea, some concept, something I could never have imagined on my own. Sometimes I hit the jackpot.........

......and find something beautiful that opens a whole new doorway into something otherwise well explored. I am so glad I did not miss hearing this womans music. But then after finding things like this I am sometimes a bit sad, later.

How many other wonderful things will I NOT find on my short little stay on earth?
But for today, Its Jackpot time! [yes]

Hope you like it too!

What was that? A joke?

Some girl who can barely sing so they put a filter over her singing?

Wow, that was quick! Well, I was actually expecting a comment like yours in exactly that tone. (it was inevitable) [yes]
I guess will have to say I respectifully disagree. Sometimes there are rewards to being more open to new things.......
Or you can stick forever with the same old same old. Thats a valid choice, too.

I have to agree. I thought it was a joke as well. Each to their own I guess.

I didn't like either. It sounded familiar though... is it a cover?

I watched the first 45 seconds and had to close it. What was i listening to? A girl singing or two feral cats in a back alley going at it kitty cat style?

Interesting. I have listened to a lot of music over the years (my family were almost all singers, musicians, actors and dancers or other types of entertainers) and I was raised on everything from opera to country western to rap.
But I have noticed that when showing new things to friends, (music/foods/books) I find that again and again people (even relatively young ones) tend to have a much more strictly defined taste/territory zone than mine.
Its a shame, since I like sharing stuff: but I suspect I am going to have to learn to keep my trips out over the horizon more as private pleasures. [surrender]

Oh, well. Nobody likes my opera or classical, (or Tori Amos or October project) either! http://discussworldissues.com/forums...ies/laugh1.gif

Years ago one of my managers at the time said the same thing about some Sarah McLaughlin I was listening to. He almost went apoplectic over some Tori Amos I was listening to a few days later, and mumbled for the next two hours over the "Cats in an alley awful trash" youngsters were listening to.
I guess my tastes are quite odd. I just had not realized how much so.

I have respect for Imogen Heap since she does all of her work herself. She wrote, produced, engineered and mixed it all herself.

wow that was interesting in an awful way. (and hey i love Prince, Björk, etc)

All I could picture was the SNL Dear Sister skit. Good song otherwise though, pretty interesting. I sometimes listen to some songs that people find weird. My woman looks at me funny when Roisin Murphy comes on during my playlist.

But it still is crap [rofl]

Yeah, same. I can't stop thinking about ppl getting shot... [rofl]

that's not for me... it is too raw, i am too much of a suxor for manufactured music... http://discussworldissues.com/forums...ies/blush1.gif

I like it, I've heard it before somewhere, I'm sure it was used in a film or something.

I think the effect is just a vocoder going through a vocal harmoniser, but yeh, nice [thumbup]

Well I liked it http://discussworldissues.com/forums...ies/smile1.gif

Nah quite decent honestly. Although you are entitled to your opinion. http://discussworldissues.com/forums...lies/wink1.gif

Hmm. Not bad, actually I think it does have some potential.

I've heard this song used quite well on a couple of TV programs - and in the right place it does sound good.

But generally, while she's pretty, I don't think she'll have a good voice... people with a good voice don't distort it electronically.

An...... interesting observation. I might point out that there is almost zero modern recorded music that leaves the singers voice completely unaltered, but otherwise I leave your statement to its merits.
