her voice sounds beautiful. if you happen to find her attractive, that's not a reason to decide she lacks credibility as a singer or songwriter. don't hold that against her. I love her voice and music. If she happened to be ordinary looking, I would love her music just as much.
Regarding her looks, over time, Neko Case seems to have tried to de-emphasize the obsession with her appearance. As she says herself, she's basically a geek in love with making music. It's not about 'celebrity' and sex appeal for her, just the art of creating music.
@medular I agree with this assessment. I like em natural and girl-next-door-type though, and I was fortunate to see Neko live for the first time a few nights ago...right up close to the stage and got to meet her briefly after the show (impromptu, not a meet-n-greet) AND............ she is just stunningly beautiful in her natural state. She had very little (if any) makeup on, hair a little wild....... it's a combination of her physical being and her personality that makes her so irresistable.

Jesussss...... Her Voice is absoluty outragiously good. I play this song over and over again. I am sorry for sheryl she was next to sing but... She has made Some awesome songs. Not everyone can have the pure talent that Neko has.

@mrgb46 It's not so much you being mistaken about the voices, it's just pointless. They are different people doing different songs and sounding different. If you prefer one over another, ok. But it's subjective. It's like saying blue is better than yellow.
@mrgb46 Such is the relative realm; it allows each of us to choose. Some decide therefore it's always a contest. It's not. It's who you are choosing to be relative to the subject. In this case - blue? In my case, I enjoyed them both. In harmony or just lazy? Ha ha, depends.

This show is sometimes a gift, including this. Neko Case is a new and wonderful discovery for me. The piano on this is a meal in itself, crisp and delicious. Now go listen to Ron Sexsmith singing Everyday I Write the Book, with Elvis, from the same episode of Spectacle.
@PamK36 LOL! It's music...you listen to it...it's not a fashion show except for people who either make it a part of their stage show (like Lady Gaga) or those who don't have enough talent to be worried about their freakin' hair (like furiously auto-tuning pop princesses).
Aside from that, some people simply have naturally wavy, frizzy hair. No amount of combing, tucking, brushing, chopping & freaking out over it is going to change that, especially not on behalf of fickle pop consumers.
Re: "if going on TV, running a comb through your hair is acceptable."
I'm glad Neko, like you, is concerned with "acceptable." It makes it okay to get drunk with your sorority sisters and sing "I wish I was the Moon" together. Then, we run combs through each others' hair while listening to "Pretty Girls" because "pretty" is the key to "acceptable." What? All of Her Boyfriends are New Pornographers?
Really?...Seriously?...Really?..."A good look?" Neko's always gone to such painstaking efforts to get that Shania Spears look down because it's SO important to her music. You can almost HEAR when she's wearing Louis Vuitton pumps and Paris Hilton and she have been shopping for pink skirts for a performance on Jersey Shores. It was hard to fit her backup dancers in her KITCHEN WHEN SHE RECORDED HER FIRST ALBUM THERE BECAUSE SHE LIKED THE ACOUSTICS OF THE PLACE!
It's a good thing she has fans to remind her that we're all on the same education level with her and can't wait til she covers that "Proud to be a Redneck" song with Justin Bieber to raise money for the war. You know...the important things that let her know we're really paying attention to what the FU%$ IS GOING ON in that empty cheerleader's brain she must have....Like really DEEP, you know?...Really?...Seriously?..."A good LOOK?"...
@orixaguy Dude, you are reading way too much into my comment. I certainly don't think she should look or sound processed. I just didn't think the rat's nest hair was flattering. But of course I love her voice, she's a songwriting genius blah, blah, blah. Chill out.
When punk rockers grow up, this is what happens to our hair! :) It's our "secret handshake" and that's how we communicate. If we're ever "ON TV," we've gotta let each other know we still believe in "Kill Your T.V."
