I'm confused about this woman, I've seen her being interviewed a couple of times & she comes over really badly . .
It's as if she's a cartoon or something . .
Her songs are awul, I just wonder if I'm missing something ?

Personally she has had two solid albums both distinctive like her vocals and is a nice antidote to the PR'd media trained BS we tend to get these days.
I just wondered who would buy her music . .
If I liked her music I'd buy it, it makes no difference to me if she's a bit out there . . .
Well she isn't that far romoved from artists like Adele, or to a degree Lana Del Rey kind of vintage styles and distinctive vocals i think she appeals to afir few people her albums ahve both sold repectively. And in answer i would buy her music and have.
Her singing voice is excellent, her speaking voice is rather annoying.
And she just comes across as a nice but nutty person, nothing wrong with that but at least she's not boring. I'd rather watch/listen to her than most singers of the minute.
This is where i think the OP is getting confused. Ovbiously we are all not going to like or get the same artists but painting it as confusing that others do makes no sense it's apples and oranges isn't it
I love that song:D
Thats what i don't get visullay and personality wise she is out there but it isn't contrived it's just her. Yet an artist like Gaga wearing a meat dress and acting a fool is celebrated when it's completely contrived am i missing something
i completely agree with you there, paloma does come across like she is just being herself. i can see why people find her a little different, but i like her regardless.
Eaxactly like comparitively i'm a huge Kate Bush fan and i know not all will get or understand her but she is completely her own creation and that alone like with Paloma should be celebrated and respected and its a reason i like them both.
yeah, i was watching a documentary the other night and kate was heavily mentioned. she is a true pioneer in her own right. not a huge fan of her generally, but i do appreciate her artistry and her unconventional way of doing things.
paloma`s new album is great, one of my favourites this year. i am very tempted to catch her live next year.
I Watched that was it queens of british pop Thats what i love about her she allowed so many female pioneers like Annie Lennox, Siouxie Sioux and now Paloma to flourish and do what they wanna do without question
And i love Fall To Grace i was a late comer only having got DYWTTOSB the year before and whilst not as distinctive a great album and as a live performer definitely on my list too
yes, that was the programme.;) to be honest, i always kind of knew quite a bit about her, but that documentary really did hit home her impact. she is a legend to be fair.
yeah, i can see why people prefer paloma`s début and it is a great album. this album flows better for me and the highlights are just so great. `just be` is screaming out to be a hit, but its been selling in little quantities for ages now and it will probably flop unfortunately.:mad: the album should breeze past platinum though, so at least there will be more music.
i think i will catch this tour, she is great live.
Yeah part wo is good as well interesting segments on Alison Moyet and Annie Lennox and she is indeed a legend
And i just think her debut is that bit more special but FTG is a stunning album and i know Just Be Was a potential smash but as you said as it has een selling slwloy ever since release it's doubtful it'll be top 10 let alone 20.
THis
Havent people ever seen or heard eccentric people before??
I think Paloma is incredibly talented, no matter how weird you think she is. Isnt it nice to have someone in the music business who doesnt present a bland, plastic image & personality that is PR friendly?
Besides Paloma really isnt that eccentric compared to lots of pop stars anyway...
I think you either "get" Paloma or you dont...
