Dido

I can't stand her breathy lifeless little voice, sounds like she's got a cold all the time....bring back Yazz....NOT!!

Whats.....w...rong...w..ith...a....brea...thy...voice...Fla...shy? You...weren't......com...plain....ing..abo...ut...it....last....ni...ght! [%sig%]

Its not the breathy voice that bothers me, its the release of the same song time after bloody time...

Yeah and the same song as well. There's a time and a place for being breathy Tolly, and a 45 minute cd isn't it.

No Tollam When you're going through all that pain, you don't want some whining idiot crowding your space. You don't want Dido either

Lorraine Kelly!!!???? Mind you, I used to have rather a fetish for East German female athletes. There was one called Cornelia Oschkenat - thighs like a racehorse.

Does that mean u fancy horses then Philip?

Now Sabelle, that's no way to talk about Shack's. Does any music soothe during child birth? [%sig%]

I liked Yazz. How could Dido have brought HER to mind?

You liked Yazz oh dear!! They just remind me of rubbish that hangs around for just too long. Nik Kershaw and Howard jones, Red Dwarf and Ainsley Harriot.

Nik Kershaw yes, Howard Jones and Ainsley Harriot abso-bloody-lutely, add to that list shawaddy-waddy, Tupah, Five Star, what was that cat one? with the stupid git wearing a backward beret? Oh and Timmy-sodding-awful-Mallot and the genius that was not Flock of Seagulls... But Red Dwarf? Now come on Flashy...that was a classic! *swings Listers' dreds around and hits Granny* [%sig%]

Yes, whatever music you like. But after a while you just want the whole episode over with. What I found soothing was having my Arsenal shirt on & the North Bank singing a medley of songs. That worked for me.

Bloody hell you're brave! [%sig%]

Curiousity killed the cat, with Ben volilepierre or something.

Thank you Flashy...wasn't that an old piece of haddock? Have you organised the flyers yet, for the big match...I have a problem though...before I slide into the mud i may need somenone to oil me down first....... [%sig%]

Dear oh dear.

Tolly you do realise teenage boys read the threads on this forum? It's their mothers who have to clean up after that i feel sorry for.

Point taken boys but I may have to excuse myself...this bikini really is starting to chaff. *Adjusts and slopes off* [%sig%]

Vicky Do you not want a man hung like a donkey? A stallion!!!?

I love Dido. Love, love, love her. Even if she *is* overplayed on the radio. Even if the best songline from the single "Life for Rent" is ripped off from Sandy Denny, (who I also love). It's georgeous having a British singer singing in a British accent; it's gorgeous having a singer whose words can all be understood; it's gorgeous having a singer whose songs are fully thought out as songs and aren't just a series of riffs and clichés (and how many of us are good enough writers to come up with conceits like "Life for Rent", complex and and yet universally understandable?); it's georgeous having a singer who's exploring everyday emotions, albeit "student-bedsitter" style emotions, rather than, like JLo, Aguilera and Robbie Williams, exploring the emotions of being a celebrity. Dido's songs send a shiver down my spine, even the old ones which I've heard so many times.

bes.... i accept all that.. but why are they all the SAME?

I would watch her mud wrestling though.

Er no... not really. But then I'm very little...;)

Thank heavens for bes. I like Dido too. Her stuff with Faithless is wonderful - and different. Her solo albums are little gems. Pop music at its best. I accept that they are samey but if they're good then that's OK with me. When I've got enough of them I'll stop buying them. But that voice - it just sends me off.

Nonsense you pair just fancy her...mind you i do too. hmmm?

Now do they actually hang donkeys and stallions, what crime do they have to commit to sentenced to death?

maybe a donkey hung like a man would be more fun than a man hung like a donkey

I'd never seen her until just now when she was singing on the Record of the Year (on video). She looks quite nice and rather plain. Not a patch on Twiggy or Debbie Harry.

Erm...yes quite. You haven't been drinking Tollam's coffee have you Freda?

neigh

I think she's wonderful - very beautiful with a fine voice. When she opens her mouth to talk she can sound a bit dim but you can't have everything. I guess she is 'attractive' but would not spiritually exciting - not the kind of woman you would pursue madly. Now, Tori Amos - that is a different story! And Daisy Donovan...I'm in love with these women.

Twiggy and Debbie Harry good heavens!! Debbie Harry 25 years ago i hope.

I quite like dido too... some of her songs anyway... I'd love to be able to sing like that and get really rich... damn pity I'm tone deaf really... or tone dumb rather

in some young girly magazine I saw an article on 'dido's style'. It then showed how you can achieve 'dido's style' - high street versions of blue jeans, brown boots and a tan bomber jacket. Wow! When I first heard Dido it was in a clothes shop and she sounded fantastic, the voice nearly moved me to tears. When my brother asked me what I wanted for christmas I asked for her album and he seemed really pleased with me and started dissecting all her songs . However I have never played it all the way through since. It doesn't do anything for me, in fact it is only a teeny bit less depressing than Simon and Garfunkel. I only really like the one that eminem improved on. [%sig%]

I haven't got the albums; I only hear the records on the radio. Maybe they are that sort of music: spot on for the radio, the pub, and the clothes shop. Not that I ever go to clothes shops. * I don't fancy Dido. In a way, I wish I did because it would make me more normal. I fancy Lorraine Kelly, Beyoncé Knowles, and Dame Kiri te Kanawa. d.beswetherick. [%sig%]

...Bendigo, Gentry he was there oh, Traveller, he never looked behind him...
