...Recently bought the Katie Melua, album,
"Call of The Search".

..have to admit, to being a sucker for a good looking girl and a bit
of clever,cynical marketing. :-?

....Enjoed the album - but her voice, begaan to grate,
after about track 5... :-? ...a bit whiney, in my opinion.

Eva Cassidy, she ain't. :-?

However, i'm going to see her live, in 2 weeks, so i'll reserve further judgement,
until i see/hear her in the flesh. ()^

...what do you think of her? ()^

Is she the one who sings "I'm the closest thing to Crazy I have ever been" on the ad for the cd?

the only impression i have of her as a person was from watchin Never Mind the Buzzcocks. she did not come over well, but then trying to be funny and clever and sarcastic to Mark Lamarr means you are usually heading for a fall.

not heard much of her music, no doubt she's a Norah-Jones-lite - new dinner party background music.

.....it's the musical equivalent, of a sunday morning
shopping trip to IKEA.
not exactly challenging, but fairly pleasant in it's own little way.

..out of all these new, British, female, singer-songwriters,
icurrently prefer. Joss Stone.

no no, a sunday morning trip to ikea is HELL :evil: any trip i have ever taken to Ikea is hell.

why do parents think it's a good idea to let their grotty children (who should all be banned from all shops/restaurants until they are 16 anyway) drive the trolley??!

16 is a bit too old!!! I don't bash into people with shopping trollys!!

and I really want Katie Melua's album, I think her song is good and she has a fab voice.

.....i'm going to see Katie Melua, in concert, tonight. :D

- a bit of beard-stroking (metaphorical) ,as opposed,
to head-banging, i suppose {@}

...if i don't get bombed, on the tube, getting there, i'll let you know, tommorow, if she was any good. ()^
