Okay, this is for all the … “Bill Jarbers”, Chreists, Genn Jrant, etc, etc, all these female singers who sound exactly the same: l;ike they have a frog stuck in their throat, and that frog has a baby goat stuck in its throat. They over pronounce every word, as if it will garner them extra attention if instead of dreamer they say “DRE-EE—-EEEA—MMM ERRR-R-R-R-R——RRRRRRRRR”
ENOUGH. I wouldnt mind if this crap was on C100, i could just ignore it… but it isnt.
Its really too bad, because alot of those songs are well written, until they are butchered by a recorded track of a sacrificial lamb.

I grew up when these acts were super popular. Sarah McLaughlin was at her “prime” and Jewel hadn’t published her book of “poetry”, so people were actually taking her seriously. This isn’t half as a bad as it used to be. Problem is, those ladies kinda had talent… the ladies that are out now are less so. I blame this on Alanis, mostly because she brought the female-singer-songwriter to a point where studios think that people actually enjoy it when it’s got a shiny gloss of pop music on it. This is really for shame because Janis is rolling over in her grave right now.
Janis could eat these pansies for breakfast and drown them with a case of beer.
jealous of their succes or something? you try making a record. Or maybe you just forgot what good music sounds like.
Yeah – that from a self-professed “strict vegetarian”.
