Suzanne Vega

[fluffiphlox]

Am I right in thinking that she can’t sing for toffee?

Nope.

Well. You couldn’t be more wrong. So this is awkward.

Soooo very wrong

No, you aren’t right.

You are wronger than Mr Wrong of 1, Wrong Close, Wrongsville, Wrongland.

Well I have just watched her doing a Blondie cover on the Piano Room and it was diabolical

Neither can Bob Dylan, Chris Martin, Mick Jagger , the list is endless but they are successful musicians and performers like Suzanne Vega. The worst singer for me has to be Diana Ross yep she's a legend but her singing is mince. Katy Perry is utter crap too.

Might need to listen to TQATS now, I feel it calling me

She might not be the best singer ever but I really like her voice, it's very interesting and distinct

I LOVE Susanne Vega. You don’t have to like her, but saying she can’t sing is daft.

I think she’s amazing. Listening to her and Tori Amos got me through my teens.

Omg me too!!!!

I think she’s a fantastic singer songwriter. She’s been one of my favourite artists since 1990.

I listened to 'Marlene on the Wall' so much back in the 80s that I warped the cassette tape😆

Tbh i don t know....but why dont you go and ask Luca......he lives upstairs....on the second floor

She is one of the best singer-songwriters of all time and that's not even opinion, it's fact! ☺️

You do realise she basically invented the mp3? (Look it up.) And her biggest hit was originally recorded completely a cappella? Now if she was such a terrible singer, how would that work?!

Why pick on Suzanne? There are far worse singers around than her 🙄

She's 66. People's voices age.

However, this thread has reminded me of my very working class, opera-loving granddad, who used to say, "Pavarotti is JUST SHOUTING". I miss him.

You are wrong. Suzanne Vega has an understated, subtle voice that matches her songs beautifully.

I don't think I've ever heard anyone sounding good in the piano room. I haven't heard them all so I might be doing someone a disservice but the ones I have heard have been generally not what we're used to with studio based auto tuning.

Yes on the same programme there were another couple of corkers, Bono and Rod Stewart.
I don’t deny she’s a great writer but her voice seemed very weak to me. I think that Piano Room sorts the wheat from the chaff.

YAVU!

I saw her live a few months ago and she was incredible.

I think she’s a genius.

Marlena on the wall and Luka are two of my favourite songs. Although I can’t listen to Luka as it makes me cry.
