Slightly off topic, but I LOVE Billie Holiday. LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE.
I'm fairly excited for her new album. I don't like the first single much, but on pop albums created to maintain relevance and get radio play the singles are typically the worst songs (for me). Seems like the other songs are where they make the music they actually wanted to make.
Doesn't Mariah Carey have some ridiculous range? She's a bitch and I don't listen to her much, but maybe she can rival her, I dunno. Christina's is very distinct, though. You hear her and know it's her.
This is so weird I was just thinking like yesterday that she should release something new.
I absolutely love Aggy, Stripped is probably one of my most listened to albums because it's friggin fantastic. Her voice is beautiful and I love her style and look. I'm quite excited :p
Also, Rye, I watched that Summertime cover by Leona a couple weeks ago, she's got such a fantastic voice as well and when you watch stuff like that you realise how much of a shame it is that her record company gives her such rubbish to sing. Her only released song that I actually like is her cover of Run by Snow Patrol, that's pretty awesome.
Anyone see the video? I feel dirty for just watching it o.o

You know, I like quite a few of her songs. But what the hell is this dribble?
This is the same damned reason I hate Lady Gaga's music so much. You have an amazing talent, but all the songs they do are complete garbage.
And I think I will be the only one here to say this, but by far my favorite female popstar to listen to is Michelle Branch. :love:
Yeah, ever since Hotel Paper, she joined up with some chick and started doing country music...
Apperently she herself, not 'The Wreckers' as I think the band was called is. is releasing an album soon, 'Everything comes..'. I've heard a couple tracks, and I'll leave it at the country influence she's had does not do her well.
The only thing she's done thats good since Hotel paper is Feeling you, and that was her featured on a Santana Song. ;p
Laga GagGag, as I like to call her, has a voice similar to that of Christina Aguilera, but her music is much different. Christina Aguilera is more experimental and has better lyrics.
And Michelle Branch joined with country singer Jessica Harp to form The Wreckers.
Her performance on Oprah was terrible. She did a medley thing at some award show a while back that left me underwhelmed too. That baby has ruined her voice. It doesn't make sense. But it did. And lip syncing once? Never thought I'd see that from her.
Although I don't like babies and blame them for all troubles, including war and cancer. That's what this is all about. I am a bad person, I know.
Often she tries way too hard to show off she has powerful vocals when she should stick to the song imho. She couldn't seem to hear herself during the Oprah performance either. She had like some... ear piece thing going on. Is that some important thing they do? I dunno, :dumb:
Anyway, I need to hear the rest of the album
That video was :bou::bou::bou::bou: too. I like you Christina. I have faith you will impress me yet.
Why must I bitch like this? Why?!
I... am really disappointed with the album.
The only songs I like is her single and You Lost Me, which was written by Sia, and a ballad, so it was a given that I'd love it.
Her performance was gorgeous on AI. But I still don't like the album. I think it was too many cooks in the kitchen, because you can tell she was trying to have a billion influences in there, and nothing of her really shone through in the end, aside from the two good songs.
It's out? Or was it leaked? I thought it was June but I haven't checked in a while. I didn't know she performed on AI either *runs to watch*
Leaked on the torrents!
Really like Christina's voice, but her performance on Oprah was a disaster, and the song sounded like some leftover scrap from the '80s. I really think she should stick to ballads, and not the synth-heavy dance pop crap. :eep:
