One of my favorite female artists along Kate Bush, PJ Harvey and Shirley Manson. So much emotion! Can't wait for new songs from her :)

Absolutely dreadful.

Evidence however, that no matter how useless we might consider ourselves to be, with a combination of hard work and a little luck we are all capable of landing a recording contract and shouting our guts out (the closest I can think of how best to describe Flo's "singing") to ultimately being played on RP even if that does mean being subject to harsh critiques like this one!

Not a big Florence fan . . . not a big fan of her Machine, either.

I love this song, this album, and Florence as a singer, yea unto the 9th rating, but that doesn't mean I'd want to see happy-clappy positivist comments alone on this board. The song fora are for all comments, including complaints, rants, slaggings, gripes and general negativity. Nobody and nothing is above criticism, least of all musical artistes. Vive free speech!

Amanda Palmer is deliberately annoying - it's a major part of her act.

I wasn't a Florence fan at all but my husband is and we went to see her live last week. I was blown away. She is a goddess! So talented, so sexy, such passion and emotion in her voice. I was surprised how deeply touched I was seeing her perform live. She is amazing! I have been converted to a Florence fan, and I now get why people are so into her.

What is her obsession with bath time? Overflow, all she has to do is let the plug out.

Agree. Complainers should hit the PSD button and move on. But they'd much rather revel in negativity than be bothered with that.

You may find her voice objectionable, you may not like her songs, but you can't fault her fundamentals, her control of power and pitch is both rare and exquisite.
