@AkewsticRockR O, yeah...she is really good!!!! But not that talented as you think. She was trained as a lead opera vocalist (soprano) but give up her career in Gilbert & Sullivan roles when pop music beckoned. But no words - her voice is brilliant !!!!
@joejoeafrojoe What did you think of the album? I thought it was a bit too overproduced and radio friendly. I definitely liked her in concert a lot better. As my friend Dave and I agreed, the in-concert stuff was fantastic, whereas her album isn't something I'd be exactly "proud" to listen to with a bunch of my guy friends as it's just a bit too girly.
@AkewsticRockR I agree, especially about the overproduced part. At some points it sounded like notes were reached with the help of a computer, yet she proved at the concert that her voice needs no such help! Some of the subtlety of her voice were lost through that too. As for too girly, most of my friends are girls, so no problem there :)
@joejoeafrojoe Kate was actually so cool that when I told her I wanted to buy her older albums but not pay 30 bucks for importing she said "You could always use BitTorrent" and Keir said "Yeah, the label gets all the money for that stuff anyway."
Her "Live at the Hi-fi" album is awesome, my favorite part being when they're playing "Words" and bust into Rage Against the Machine's "Killing in the name" at the end. Kate even does the funky hi-pitched guitar in her opera voice.
She's almost as good as Regina Spektor...

@AkewsticRockR Ha! That's brilliant! That is the kind of honesty more people should strive for.
I just got it with the hope that it would be more natural. It has definitely lived up to my expectations :)
That bit is very cool, her voice is amazing!
Right now I'm just looping 'I like it better when you're not around'. I love the little squeaks she embellishes her voice with.

@joejoeafrojoe She was trained in opera; those notes are no surprise given her background. Yup. She's got talent.
