,

Alice Russell has been drawing comparisons to Amy Winehouse (seems like every English girl with a retro sound is the new Amy Winehouse, doesn't it?). I hope she's soberer.

I don't hear it, myself. And she's been cranking out albums for five years or so, so maybe Winehouse sounds like Russell? You can be the judge. She's soulful, and I defy you not to bob your head. Or dance. Or sign up for dance lessons so you can dance.

no way ,not one chance in h*** there is a comparison! Just listening the
very respectable list you have here (not to forget the " Harry on now ") the Russell voice is exceptional,
the only new artist that can be in a small way close to her is
Joss Stone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fRtlE0YUBoc&feature=related

thanks for sharing

Heh. I don't get it either, but people actually write things like "Alice Russell sounds a lot like Amy Winehouse."

ellinidata 9. February 2009, 03:26

I forgive them p:
but I don't see it!
and I hope they clear their ears too! :yes:

noah counte 9. February 2009, 03:44

I'm sure they'll be very thankful. :whistle:

ellinidata 9. February 2009, 03:59

I hope they realize I am in a forgiving mood for today only! p:

PainterWoman 9. February 2009, 05:22

Oooohhh....Tired Little One is the best. I hear no comparison either. Russell has a much more melodic voice. And hopefully a better hairdo.

I'm glad you enjoyed, Pam!

Like I'd know, :lol:. I just listen to music that happens to be playing. I know nada about it though. :whistle:

Well, can't say that I like Russel based on these. But thanks for the introduction anyway. As for Winehouse, I don't think I've ever heard her. Unless it was by accident on a juke box at a bar and I didn't know it.

I think I'll stick with this one for the time being.

As for Janis, she might have been even more "substance prone" than Winehouse. Too bad for either, of course.

noah counte 15. February 2009, 23:56

Here's an intro to Winehouse, chosen mostly because it starts off with a question I'd like to have answered.

Thanks for the Janis. Always welcome :smile:

edwardpiercy 16. February 2009, 00:08

Hmmm. Couldn't get that link.

noah counte 16. February 2009, 00:15

My mistake. All fixed now.

edwardpiercy 16. February 2009, 00:23

Couldn't understand totally, so I looked up the lyrics.

Are you referring to this one?

"What kind of f****** is this?"


I certainly can't answer that. That's kinda in the realm of metaphysics -- :lol:

noah counte 16. February 2009, 01:11

Yeah. She's brilliant for asking, though. :lol:

wickedlizard 12. March 2009, 18:44

I don't see it as being like Amy Winehouse at all. :left:

Not so much into this music. Prefer Amy's voice, or Joss Stone or Duffy's voice. I like the huffiness in their voices. This Alice Russell's voice is a bit too screechy for me. awww

noah counte 12. March 2009, 18:55

There's no arguing taste p:

It's always nice to see you, Isabel :smile:

wickedlizard 12. March 2009, 19:02

I know. Nice to see you also! :D

ellinidata 12. March 2009, 20:03

lets add Adele to the group Issy,
my "hometown" girl :heart:

I miss your Opera posts Matthew,
I hope we have another musical gem soon :smile:

wickedlizard 12. March 2009, 20:54

:left: Adele?

noah counte 13. March 2009, 15:24

Isn't Adele's hometown London? p: I have her album "19", and I enjoy it a great deal.

ellinidata 13. March 2009, 19:20

:lol: she is a traveler p:

noah counte 14. March 2009, 01:25
