Agreed... She's got that I'm-trying-way-too-hard sound... subtlety is more profound when it comes to a woman with a voice like that. I'm sure some feminists out there must like her a lot... but perhaps I might like it better if she was on key to a certain degree. This isn't even a live recording!

My streaming audio died out just before this one came on.  Mere coincidence, or the gentle hand of a benevolent God subtly intervening in human affairs?

I do find the division of love her/hate her pretty strong for some reason which leads me to something I've noticed lately. The mean spirited comments. People, ease up on the extreme comments. If you dont like a song or artist, that's cool, we all have different tastes. But when I see comments like, "Bill, WTF is wrong with you"? or "Are you out of your mind for playing something like that"?, it really bothers me to the point of almost taking it personally. If you feel that strongly, go start a radio station yourself. If I don't like something, I know where the mute is. More than likely, a song will play in about 3-5 minutes. I have been blessed with the gift of hearing and we take it for granted sometimes. Let's all be thankful that Radioparadise is on the air because what if it wasn't around? There would be a great big hole in the internet radio world and that would be sad. I have been turned on to so many new artists over the last few years and I appreciate it. Thank you, Bill.

Very well could be... but I was just thinking it was exactly what it sounds like.  No hidden meanings (beyond "slip her a smile" which is slang for slitting someone's throat, I believe).  I think it's a tale from the perspective of some Jack the Ripper type.  It doesn't entirely make sense because it's a sociopath's song.

Well put.  Johnette similarities notwithstanding, I was having a tough time listening to the music.  Then I looked at the lyrics and decided that I really just don't need this much hostility.
