Tenacious_Peaches Posted October 19, 2004 Report Share Posted October 19, 2004 Fergie (Black Eyed peas)... I liked her until I realized who she was. She is blonde haired blue eyed California type chick who was on "Kids, Incorporated" as a bubbly little girl. She was in one of those generic mid-90s girl groups called Wild Orchid. And now that she is in the Black Eyed Peas, all of a sudden she's "ethnic". I understand that to make it in show business, you have to create some sort of image, but she just does not ring true to me. She does, however, have a great voice.

_jr_ Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 I've always enjoyed Annie Lennox's voice. Great range, with authority. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulGirl Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 yeah she's a great singer! heard a story recently to that she entered a karaoke competition when drunk singin 'sweet dreams' and came third! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 I've always enjoyed Annie Lennox's voice. Great range, with authority. Yesterday I was listening to a song on the radio and I really loved the voice of that unknown woman. I asked my husband who she might be, and he said "oh, come on, it´s Annie Lennox, you should know!". I kept on thinking exactly what you say, Jr, what a great voice. I´d love to sing like that!!

mermista Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 These have all probably been mentioned already, but here's my list: Tori Amos Ani DiFranco Indigo Girls Melissa Etheridge Aimee Mann Cher (yes, Cher. I love her, I always have. Back off.) Joan Jett Liz Phair (a, because we have the same name and b, the song HWC... it's filthy and I love it.) Poe (I've loved her since I was in like 7th grade) and the ultimate, of course: Madonna. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MindCrime Posted October 20, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 Grace Jones scared me back in the 80's, her videos gave me nightmares... On a semi-related note... I like Tracy Chapman, anyone remember or have heard of her music? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

_jr_ Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 I own a few Tracy Chapman cds. She's not flashy, but she's got passion in her songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulGirl Posted October 20, 2004 Report Share Posted October 20, 2004 yes i agree JR, technically her vocals are actually fairly limited but you can tell her songs are full of meaning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edna Posted October 21, 2004 Report Share Posted October 21, 2004 Grace Jones scared me back in the 80's, her videos gave me nightmares... On a semi-related note... I like Tracy Chapman, anyone remember or have heard of her music? Grace Jones... I never liked her, she scared me too with her chicken dress and the Jean-paul Goude influence... I like very much Tracy Chapman, she´s not pretending anything, she´s sure of herself and a real good singer. I like her style and she´s very discreet. I don´t think female singers must be sex-bombs, at least not all of them... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
