I feel sorry for people who don't like her voice.

Anyone else get chills and closed your eyes and feel a out of this world feeling? or was it just me?

I feel sorry for people who enjoy this completely contrived and insincere caricature of appalachian music. Her voice is absolutely the most fake thing I've heard in quite some time.

[laliqko]

she reminds me of Kate Bush :)

@DeathNationGaming I ate mushrooms and listened to her for like 2 hours. It was incredible

@harrywang88 'folk indie' is pop, that's entirely the gist of what i was saying. Although the parts that are obviously folk are certainly more derived from folk :P but only really Colleen comes anywhere close to a 'true folk song' in my eyes.

She reminds me of John Jacob Niles.

Her voice has changed slightly from album to album, but it's always still Joanna. I don't like how most other critics try to label her singing as "screeching" or "squeaking" because that isn't what it is. Her voice just might be so unique that I don't have the right words to sum it up

[GlassFlowers19]

SHHHH!!!!!! She's Playing...

@LowlyPeon23 Ya, but CocoRosie are actually pretty hot looking. It's not a big challenge to not see past their makeup and realize this. They aren't the runaway success that Newsome is either. The industry is so painfully two-dimensional now that one can't help but be suspicious. In my opinion Newsome is over-cultivated - to me that also means disingenuous. Her singing style is fake to the point of insult. If some bald fat guy sang like that he would be marginalized ... or crucified!
