She's always been one of those radio plays that I never paid further attention to. I assumed she's just an another old country pop star but I wasn't even close.

After listening to her music at full CD quality at home, I realized she's much better than once thought. Both of her CDs have hidden gems that are simply amazing. Her mellow voice has a certain charm that mesmerizes me every time I hear her. And I finally saw what she looks like and she's HOT!

Dido
Dido ditto
Third time's a charm
One last time!

I encourage you to check out her albums and re-listen to her old song, Here With Me. Her soulful voice combined with a beautiful background vocal makes it for an immersive experience, not to mention depressing:


didn't hear you leave
I wonder how am I still here
And I don't want to move a thing
It might change my memory

Oh I am what I am
I do what I want
But I can't hide

And I won't go
I won't sleep
I can't breathe
Until you're resting here with me

And I won't leave
I can't hide
I cannot be
Until you're resting here with me

I don't want to call my friends
For they might wake me from this dream
And I can't leave this bed
Risk forgetting all that's been

Oh I am what I am
I do what I want
But I can't hide...

Personally I think she is one of the better european artitsts. I have been blasting her music for years now, she is also extreamly pretty.

I will go down with this sh!t
And I won't put mine's up, and surrender
There will be no white flag above my dove

How off are my lyrics? :laugh:

I assumed likewise because I only heard her on crappy radio at restaurants. Just another Jewel-Pop-Poetry-Crossbreed-Garbage... but listen to the songs not on the billboard with good stereo, it's quite nice.

:music:

My tea's gone cold, I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all
The morning rain clouds up my window and I can't see at all
And even if I could it'd all be grey
But your picture on my wall
It reminds me that it's not so bad it's not so bad.

:music:


BTW, her music sucks. :)

cuz she's good.... and "good" ain't hip
If a song has more than 10 unique words in it, it's just too complicated for todays drop-outs

her song White Flag is a true story about her failed relationship.

She's pleasant, I'd just rather hear Heather Nova, Fiona Apple, Tori Amos, Aimee Mann or Sarah McLachlan.

I was really annoyed to read that Fiona Apple's third album was finished over a year ago but not released because the record company (and A&R man) said "I don't hear a single." Give her second album a good listen and it has some excellent songcraft.

:music:
Love ridden, I've looked at you
With the focus I gave to my birthday candles
I've wished on the lidded blue flames
Under your brow
And baby, I wished for you
Nobody sees when you are lying in your bed
And I wanna crawl in with you
But I cry instead
I want your warm, but it will only make
Me colder when it's over,
So I can't tonight, baby
No, not "baby" anymore - if I need you
I'll just use your simple name
Only kisses on the cheek from now on
And in a little while, we'll only have to wave
:music:

The problem with Dido is that while she has a stunningly beautiful voice, she sings cr&p songs. She needs to get a new songwriter..
