Marina & The Diamonds
So she's been tipped to be quite big this year, so I decided to listen to some of her music, and I have to say her music videos are really fun an dcreative, and I really like Hollywood, but I think Mowgli's Road and I Am Not A Robot are going to have to grow on me, as they are quite weird and I find her voice an aquired taste.
So, what does everybody else think of her? |

Proud to say I've been championing her for a looong time - but she's from a lovely village very close to me so she's been well-known round our parts for a while now
![]() Glad to hear you're liking her stuff

I love her videos, and can't wait till I can buy Hollywood, and I Am Not A Robot and Mowgli's Road are deffinately catchy, but it's a bit like with Florence, I need to listen a bit more.
But I ended up buying Florence's album, so I'll probably end up buying The Family Jewels ![]() And a bit off topic, but Marina's absolutely stunning. And her make up is amazing! |

I've become slightly obsessed with Marina over the last few weeks. Hollywood has really grown on me big time and I love her musical style.
And the fact that she's smoking hot always helps ![]() Check out her Myspace, there are 5 songs + 1 remix on there at the moment. http://www.myspace.com/marinaandthediamonds |

I personally prefer both I Am Not A Robot and Mowgli's Road over Hollywood. Not that I don't like Hollywood, it's just the other two are sooo good. Hollywood seems like a safe choice for a single but I hope it does well for her!

She's so gorgeous in the 'Robot' video. She really makes this blokey bloke swoon...
A brilliant voice too.

Quite enjoying Hollywood on Radio 1 playlist at the mo, it's really catchy.
And in a good way, not like those ones that burrow into your brain like a parasite. She sounds a LOT like Siouxsie and yeah she's a stunner as well! |

I've just become a fan. Love Hollywood.
I also really like the others I've heard: Mowgli's road, I am not a Robot and Girls Girls Girls. I can't wait for the album. |

Are you following her on twitter like me - mainly because she's (half) Welsh.She seems to be quite a character & quite indepentantly minded.I don't mind her songs - she definately has a voice, unlike alot of other pop singers.I wish she would sing more naturally though - if you now what I mean.She definately seems to have something that sets her apart from the rest.

![]() It wasn't her nationality that lead me to like her so much, but it does give me a proud feeling to know that my hometown and the towns immediately around mine are producing talent as diverse as hers now - especially seeing as it has been predominantely giving birth to post-hardcore and screamo bands since the Manics and the Stereophonics made it out of here in the 90s. |

I like her 4 songs she's posted on YouTube so far, especially Obsessions. Piano and her voice are just perfect combination.
