Quote from: Geir on January 24, 2012, 02:05:42 AMI'd rather hear Zooey sing than Aldo .. but then again ... I wrote a song about her ::) ;D

Wasn't it about her sister?
ok ... it's title indicate that it's about her lovely sister (who btw has a nice voice too ;) ) but it's actually more about Zooey ... or rather one of the roles she has played ...  ... ... well actually it's not, because alzheimer had apparently kicked in already when I wrote the song ... it wasn't Trillian, but Fenchurch that were flying around with Arthur ::) ... oh well ;D

BUMP BAIT:
And flying right beside me
is Trillian and you
Zooey bring your sister
then we'll be more than two

You fella's must be listening with your eyes -- or through your crotches.

We bought a She & Him album, Volume One, and played those songs in a mix together with the likes of Ingrid Michaelson, The Wailin' Jennys, Michelle Shocked, Cowboy Junkies, Liz Phair, Gillian Welch, and others. Whenever Zooey popped up on the playlist, it was like hearing someone sing Karaoke -- not particularly well.

When I want eye candy, a great voice, and good songwriting all in one package, I go straight for Jenny Lewis:


Pack it up, Zooey.

And? :P

There are a lot of famous people out there that can`t sing IMO but its all about delivery and opinion.

If i named singers i didn`t like some people on here would get offended. Like anything and everything
else in life, someone will always try and cut you down.

Here are 3 people that I hear get dumped on constantly for their voice.

Bob Dillon
Geddy Lee
Neil Young

In the end who is right? They are rich and famous? Wouldn`t that be called success?

I like her style - it's a little loose, but she really knows how to swing her vocals.

Okay, so technically, Zooey may not be the most proficient singer in the world - and I'm sure opera aficionados would consider the vocal talents of entire field of popular music for the last one hundred years to be technically inferior to opera.

That doesn't mean she can't sing...

I'd been listening to a fair bit of She and Him recently. Never heard of Zooey in an acting capacity. To be honest, I'd not found her vocals offensive. Just a bird. Singing. Fine!
