TooBoku Posted November 12, 2007 Posted November 12, 2007 Sometimes all you need to do to make yourself feel better after a hard day's work is to wind down with a hot cup of java, a crossword, and have a sexy female jazz singer giving you aural. Yes, aural... as in ear f***ing.Also, I'm gonna have to be an elitist in this thread because well... It would be an insult to some of the singers posted in this thread to compare them to the likes of let's say Beyonce, Ashlee Simpson, or Jojo. No rockers, poppers, hip-hoppers, and such allowed unless they are crossover artists. Only singers who could pass a grade 2 theory exam, a grade 6 vocal exam, and can sight read are allowed in this thread. Bonus points if they can sing in Portuguese.Examples of artists that can be posted in this thread:- Eva Cassidey- Diana Krall- Katie Melua- KD Lang- Norah Jones Quote
TooBoku Posted November 12, 2007 Author Posted November 12, 2007 Stacey Kent - Wonderful WorldI love the colour she has in the version. Nice rich, dark, and warm. I only wish she sustained her notes in this.Emilie-Claire Barlow - Little Jack FrostToo bad you can't find very much stuff of her on YouTube.She can sing a pretty mean bossa nova.Katie Melua - Just Like HeavenCan't go wrong with a Cure cover.Mercedes Landazuri - Trem das OnzeShe play bossa nova on banjo too. It's not bad actually. Quote
