yeh, Duffy, Adele...so many amazing female vocalists starting off this year. Reckon also check out new birds gabriella laura marling and lykke li. Good stuff for 2008!

well i guess with saying that they are all of the same jazzster/soulster kinship to Winehouse (pos-winehouse soulsters) - is having a useful ref point - as winehouse has become such an iconic star - so a v markable ref point - much more than Moyet, whos only probs a ref to Dawn French :lol: .

 

when Winehouse can have a career as long and as genre-defying and as great as Moyet's - give me a call. To call Winehouse an 'icon' is utterly, totally absurd - she's had 2 albums, one of which was mega-hyped a few years back and flopped on its arse.

 

Not quite sure what the Dawn French dig was at all, didn't understand that one - but if you're hinting Moyet's only successful because of Dawn French, I can only assume you've lived in a cave in the Outer Hebrides for the past 26 years. :wacko:

Very true. Will Amy Winehouse, Adele & Duffy managed 13 UK Top30 Albums between them throughout their careers.

I think Winehouse is an icon of our generation though. However, it's obviously not only the music that's made her this icon.

Well, I recently discovered Duffy and I must say that I think she is great! Rockferry is just superb and I am loving the 60s vibe.

 

I do hope she has longevity though.

well yeah - but i guess thats also a comment on the celebrity of the moment, and probs would have something to do with that Britiney - human being or just news commodity story in the peper the other (didnt get round to reading it)

Nah thats not i was getting at because if you know Depeche Mode you will probably know Erasure etc etc - however for people who dont really know her stuff or care for 1980s music :puke2: - she probs might be only thought of in relation to Dawn French -

 

even considering something like Smooth - even tho they will be playing Mark Ronson everyday at 15:25 till the end of civilisation Alison Moyet's records are not as omnipresent on the station - even not as played as much as something like say Paul Young's Common People which gets loads of airplay (everyday @ 15:16 :lol: ).

I think duffy will be the star of 2008 not adele, she has everything- her voice is really retro, tracks are catchy and unique, she has the LOOK- she is stunning, she has good stage presence, and has a lovely personality. Yep loving her. Have a feeling she will be massive this year. Adele is ok, but overrated and boring imo.

 

and Laura Marling- seems to be another kate nash/ lily allen copy but better.
