I still don't like her

I had to remind myself what I was missing out on with this JN girl. I was justified in refusing to listen to her for so long, and there's thousands of people giving her 5 stars.


"That's what they said about Dylan"


"What if I said Neil Young had a baby's voice?"


"You need to listen to her newer stuff"


Throughout my life I have gone around listening to music that my friends probably wouldn't like. I don't profess to really fall in love with Oasis. I can't get my head round what's so good about REM and, to be honest, I like Gilbert O'Sullivan. But that's the culture of music, music is all opinion and since i've been writing, here and there for the LeftLion, I have found that you can make any act sound good if you liken it to someone else.

If there's enough bollocks then you can make anything sound good, or make someone want to listen to something.

Anyway that's a rant, and no-one reads this so it doesn't matter. But if there were people reading this I still wouldn't be bothered.

I don't like her

Sorry, I just don't. I mean, her voice is sickening. There's a bit of me that's likes it, but female soloists have to be particular special to cut it with me, musically.

I can't stand people with baby-ish voices. I saw a girl at Uni who had a very baby-ish voice and she was just very annoying! The songs may be beautifully arranged and quaint but they're too sugary for me and don't do anything really. She is "critically acclaimed" which means the music critics like her. Another reason not to like her.

She is no Joni, no Laura Veirs, no Karen O.
