Try Come Away With Me, she wrote it herself... with a guitar.

Again, I agree with you. If we are speaking about techniques, they are all at the top of food chain. They can cramp 10 notes into 1 syllable or hold the longest highest note ever. But again "richness" is even more important. Take a look at Norah Jones whose technique does not come anywhere near Lewis. But she delivers everything perfectly with her voice. She can reach high notes just enough to give one chills, not because it's a high note but because of how she put her feelings to it. And I think that is what makes an artist. (please stop me before I talk about Norah Jones all day long lol) If I compare Lewis' Summertime to Fantasia Barrino's, I can see the difference of sinning with and without soul. And it's not in favour of Lewis. just my 2 cents.

I want Asia tour. Please Robyn please... I'M BEGGING YOU

I created Robyn thread.

I can't believe she's not here yet. With, amazing self titled album back in 2005, and the epic tripple albums "Body Talk" last year, she deserves her own thread. She's the electro-pop goddess!

the whole album

me too and yeah :disappointed: Leona Lewis got pipes, but she's just so hollow. She have 0 soul. She can only land in pop. Christina on the other hand is so soulful, but then again she does gimmick too much. I wish she can balance it out. Instead of dressing up whorefully, she can just take a note from Adele who is all soul no gimmick, or even Winehouse, with a little gimmick that doesn't hurt too much (well, it doesn't hurt her as much as Blake did). If we see soul singers from previous generations, from Holiday to Franklin, all of them just sing their larynges off. Sure, a little stage presence would be great, but they can measure it down. Hudson did not fall to the humps and lumps trend, I hope she never will.

Dari Jakarta, bokap batak, nyokap padang (blasteran paling aneh :D) sekarang tinggal di Guangzhou.... derita. Kemaren nonton Thor, tau-taunya didubbing:|:stunned::snobby::furious2::phu: akhirnya angkat kaki di awal film :(

I never been a fan of musicals, so I wasn't so excited by Dreamgirls. But when I saw a preview of the movie, the part when she sang "And I'm Telling You", I was so astounded that I finally watched the movie.I still hate the movie, but she was so awesome. But I really was disappointed by her single (limelight, or spotlight, or wahetever light). I was hoping she went soul, or blues. She chose R&B instead :\

Went 50 pages back and found this :lol:

kayanya ngga :thinking: kalo kenal pasti gw inget (ngga juga sih :P)

:bomb: I want to hear him sing!

Biffy Clyro - Living Is A Problem Because Everything Dies I remember this :surprised:

me me me me me me

hi neighbor :)

why haven't I seen this picture before? :thinking:

:thinking:mmm.... pernah ga ya? lupa :lol: ngomong-ngomong sepi juga ya....:|

He was so bored falling back to page 2 he fell asleep

don't worry, I'm not going to kill you (for now... mwahahahahahaha...)

ENYA FTW!! and Ane Brun too.

YAYYY!!!! that was mine!!!! :drunkjoe::botoxlips::waffle::mudkip::scholar: :lock::furious3::santa3::biker::furious::pimp2: :builder::dance::sultan::mickey::computer::whip: :smartass2::shame::toff::joker::thinking2::chef: :confused::):rolleyes::laugh3::cry::daisy::wings: :cool3: :disappointed::hug::phil::nod::deadhusky: (random clicking, overly excited... I apologise) aww :blush: well as I said before in this thread, I wanted to make an adult contemporary mixtape. My original partner was Carrow. As I stalk him I was thoroughly intimidated since he has the most obscure taste ever. But then I thought that this might work... I just put in as many mainstream songs as possible :awesome:, but then... it all changed... I'm glad you like it (and I'm surprised you don't know any of them, saving for Track 4 and 7) There are 5 European artists, 6 North Americans, and 2 Asians Oren Lavie - Her Morning Elegance. Yes, it's jazzy. I said it earlier, I wanted to make an adult contemporary mixtape. I find this tune is a must. You've got to see the video. Strawberry Swing ain't got nuthin’ on it!! Norah Jones - Light As A Feather. Well, I've got to put her in. She's the queen of adult contemporary. Although her 4th album is very much different from the previous 3. More folk, more rock and roll, more sonic and atmospheric. She wrote this particular song with Ryan Adams (without the letter "B"), and they're BFF now :awesome: I could go on writing about her so... off to the next track. Potret - Diam. Discover Indonesian music. Actually Indonesian music is no good at all. This one is from late 90's - early 00's. It's a band consist of a vocalist (which is also the principal songwriter), a bassist (the vocalist's husband) and a drummer (I don't really care much about him). They usually do (did) pop songs, but this one is rather bluesy/rock n roll-ish. This song is about a girl who is constantly being abused by someone but keeps silent (diam = silent, quiet, still). But when the guy force her to do something (which she did not specify) she refuses to stay mum. It's an angry song, really. Amy Winehouse - Love Is A Losing Game. Back To Black is an excellent album. Get it NAOOOOUU!! I don't love her voice that much, but her songwriting strikes me. And Mark Ronson did one helluva job producing this. Alanis Morissette - Heart Of The House. It's from Supposed Former Infatuation Junkie. An album that estranged her fans, baffled critics, I love. It's songwriting at its best. She was just rapping with melody and harmony throughout the album. The lyric is very cryptic, I still don't know what she really means. Basically it's about her relationship with her mother. But I don't know what she actually felt :vanish: Enya - Oriel Window. The only modern piano instrumental that I like better than Coldplay's Postcards. Enya is basically a band of 3. Enya herself as the composer and performer, Roma Ryan as lyricist, and Nicky Ryan the producer. The workflow usually starts with Enya composing with her piano, and then she discuss it with the other two, whether or not the other two can "see" and "feel" Enya's vision about that song. And then they will see if Roma can come up with lyric or just leave it as an instrumental. And so on. (is this a history class or something lol) Arcade Fire - Neon Bible. Although this one is somewhat "regular" for Coldplaying, I find it fitting for this mixtape. It has this understated quality, yet very much loaded and rich (just like how Arcade Fire likes to do things) Scarlett Johansson - Green Grass. Yes, THAT Scarlett Johansson. She's sooooooooooo underrated. She doesn't deserve it. Unlike most actors who want to venture in music industry, she didn't choose crappy pop as her genre. She chose "this" instead, whatever "this" is. She definitely has an artistic musical mind. This album is mostly filled with Tom Waits cover, with only 1 original song. David Bowie also contributed on 2 songs in this album as a backing vocalist. Yes, THAT David Bowie. Sade - Immigrant. Sade is so much more than No Ordinary Love. This is from Lover's Rock. You should try listen to this album. It is mostly filled with R&B songs, but Sade Adu's voice is just so irresistible. My favourite from this album is Immigrant and Slave Song. Her father is the inspiration for this song. If you can find the YouTube video of them performing this live, you can get her brief explanation about it. Chrisye - Kala Sang Surya Tenggelam. Discover Indonesian music. Amidst the downright shitty industry, we have this gem. He was 50 or something when he recorded this song. He's legendary. Unfortunately he passed away a few years back, we lost a truly amazing artist :disappointed: The title, "Kala Sang Surya Tenggelam" means "When The Sun Sets". The lyric itself is somewhat cryptic but not entirely. It's about a couple being apart or something. They use poetic form of Indonesian... which I appreciate very much. Dido - This Land Is Mine. This is one of my favourite songs from her. Her voice is just something else. She also has this metaphoric style for her lyrics. And somehow I feel she has some signature chord progression. She's holistically distinctive. Bruce Springsteen - Streets Of Philadelphia. I find this song 'out of place' as well. I was going to put The Tallest Man On Earth - Honey Won't You Let Me In, but I feel it would be even more out of place. What strikes me most about the song is the similarity to Coldplay's Lost!, especially towards the end. I heard Lost! first, and then I found this song while watching Philadelphia (the movie with Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington). And then I search for it. And I got it. And then I listened to it very carefully. the lyric is awesome, the drum machine is not. It is still out of place for this mixtape. Shearwater - The Hunter's Star. This is the perfect example of benefits of mixtape exchange. I got to know them from ME4, burningmonk was my mixtape maker. He used the song "On The Death Of The Waters" as the opening for the mixtape. That song is the first song of the album Rook. Now I'm a fan. This song is the last track from the same album. I hope you're a fan now. They're awesome. I've been praying for their Asia tour, but it never happened. :( 12? really? you got it right :D, thanks for the review (I was actually planning to kill you, but nevermind, I got the review now...) 1.
