Ethan Allen	on the subjuct of voices..... this lady has something really special in my opinion. it's warm rich and smooth. blue alert is so cool. www.myspace.com/officialmadeleinepeyroux
Ethan Allen	i still sit in amazement thinking how the hell do some of these singers EVER get deals. Very few great vocalists around these days. in fact VERY FEW GOOD vocalists around. but then thats just my opinion.
MC MC	Certainly agree with the "derivative" bit - "Time Of The Season" by the Zombies, anyone?
DF1	My favourite singer as a teenager was Morrissey who I believe to be totally unique but with a familiar warmth to his voice. Ironically the more idiosyncratic a singer is the more I believe people identify with them - something lost on morons like Cowell or whoever runs the british entry for the eurovision song contest.
SW	We're dealing with an era where the ability to replicate a vocal sound or cram twenty notes into the usual space of one is lauded, not the tone of a voice. What stood for good singing many years ago was more centred on the tonal charisteristics of a voice, and in particular having a rich voice. Diction and phrasing had far more importance. Phrasing in particular has gone out through the window - am I the only who hates to hear someone breathing in the middle of a word? All of these things render a lyric meaningless and doesn't indicate that a singer is thinking about the words. The list of culprits is huge... I'm also sick of Duffy being regarded as in the mould of Dusty. No chance. Her performance last night on the Shockwaves Chart Show was abysmal.
