To be honest, it depends what mood I'm in. If i'm driving and want ot stay awake, then I wouldn't put her on. If you're in a different mood, then perhaps her voice is more welcome.

Why do we need another dido thread?

Why couldn't this person use their head (sorry to be harsh) and put it on the Dido-white flag thread?



Honestly..........when people complain or make their opinion they never back it up?

Havent anyone ever heard of the word constructive lol

why should i? thats not what i started this thread for

the dido white flag thread was for-guess what?-people who are interested in discussing how much they like dido and are interested in her music-i am merely interested in discussing how much i dislike it-and hopefully finding like-minded others.
surely i am allowed a preference?? and i for one find it annoying when discussing an artist someone comes along and says "well actually i hate so and so" i always think-well why post here then?? which is why i started another thread

since when did every comment have to be constructive on this board? bit narrow minded really

i also find the comment that i have to be a cheeky girls/gg fan just because of one negative post offensive

and as for the "why do we need another dido thread" comment-if you don't like it then don't reply then it will disappear soon enough wont it?

Oh bucnh of rubbish.........you can disagree in the dido white flag thread!

Its not for people who like her...its for people who have an opinion of her!

So stop wasting threads on this forum because theres enough people here repeating themselves as it is at the moment!

Sorry for being a whinging coww but its true!

as i said-i personally find it irritating when in a positive thread someone expresses a dislike for the artist-its a waste of time and a personal bugbear of mine

and i could hardly be accused of "wasting threads" there isnt a limited supply of them!! and as i said earlier if you and the others hadnt complained about the damn thread it probably would have died by now anyway

there is no need to act like you own the board!!

OK then - to answer your original posting - I don't hate Dido's voice.

She is original, has a wide range and unlike many artists can actually sing and write decent material.

Having said that she should have told Eminem where to get off when he wanted to use "Thank You" - I get fed up with people who hear it saying "oh this is from that Eminem song" - "NO - the Eminem song is from this, this is the original!"

i genuinely like her voice, although like every artist there's going to be a time or place where i don't want to hear it.

like vanessa carlton, dido has what i call a 'none-perfect' voice, and that's the appeal for me. artists should sing from the heart - that's where the emotion of a song comes from. and being a faithless fan i've liked her voice for years - i'm glad she's got the global fan base she deserves above the ranks of quick-fix pop rubbish that generally does the rounds.

her voice is broken and is a bit crap, but it sounds special and unique

btw, her new single "White Flag" is f****** crap

the original is crap though, and she wouldn't be known outside the UK if it wasn't for eminem.

Erm no......the roginal and the eminem version sounds almost identical.......Although the only difference is that one has a rap on it and the other one is just pure singing!

And her new single is lovely jubbly...........

Better then most pap out there at the moment..........i mean Gareth Gates Sunshine??????? Hello........that song defines cack!

then they arent almost identical are they??? and ron is right-the radio 1 hype around her started because of the eminem track-i believe i have jo whiley to blame

and i don't see how its either dido or gareth gates?? or that if you don't like one then you must like teeny pop or whatever else is in the charts-if anything in this case gg is the lesser of two badly sung evils

I liked the song with eminem and the first album but the new song hasn't grabbed my attention yet.

Goodness, she shines out in the chart like a beacon. No her voice isn't perfect, but it's such a richness and deepness that is very entrancing. She is unique.

She has a sweet voice... But her range is anything but wide... shes very limited... and a new album should represent the change in an artist over that period since the last one...

What does she do? Releases her first single, which sounds like it should've been on her first album and has a video to match...

Sorry, I like musicians to evolve... I mean, slag off Britney if you want... But compare the first single off of album one to album four... Vastly different...

and let us not forget that Dido has written songs for Britney Spears !!!

In kaye's defence, there isn't really much point in making constructive critisism here. It's unlikely Dido herself will be scouring these forums for tips on how she might improve her singing.

I despise Phil Collins with a passion. I don't think it's necessary to be constructive or back up my statement other than to say to my ears, his music is terrible and to my eyes, he is a ****.
