Love the song, though.


 

So, you don't think she looks like Bruce Lee in that pic?

When I die, if the whole Final Judgement thing is real, I might wake up in hell chained to the rocks in front of a 30-ft diameter speaker playing Vienna Teng all day, alternating only with bagpipes, bible screamers, and the guy playing the tuba from in front of the Seattle Arena, all at 140 dB and every night my ears will heal...  1.0

Actually, her voice (in its wailing moments) is what captured my ear.  I like the emotion and honesty behind it.

Coldplay wrote a song called Gravity and gave it to the band Embrace. Embrace released it as a single and it became a top ten hit in the UK. This is it:  http://youtu.be/xcABh66W4Fw

I get the point of this.  I generally like a lot more of the music though, or I wouldn't be here.  One in twenty is not good enough for me.

The way I look at it, I really like about a third of the songs I hear here.  Love a small percentage, hate a small percentage, and split the rest somewhere in between.

And a whole lot of other stuff. You have almost as many songs rated 1, 2, or 3 as you do 8, 9, or 10.

I'd agree that many songs that are released (or even become hits) aren't great or memorable, but I think Bill plays a lot more great music than you hear anywhere else.

 If you hate almost half the music you hear here, why are you here?

Yes indeed — thank you RP !!  I too had never heard of her before I started listening here 5 years ago.  I caught her on tour this year and she is an AWESOME live performer !  {#Bounce}

Really?  Y'know, maybe the image simply looks uncannily like Bruce Lee, and he DID make his living in  extraordinarily dramatic representations of Chinese martial arts. This could just be a cute quip, and not particularly insensitive at that.

A little nasal for my tastes, but otherwise a fine voice.  Yet vaguely unsatisfying, like lukewarm bath water.

Broadway?!? You can't be serious. She is one of the most thoughtful songwriters around. Her voice can lack depth but doesn't detract from the depth of her music.

She's got a fantastic voice, but so many of her songs are bland, over-polished and just too ordinary.
