[Closed] Amy Macdonald

Good song, but it feels over-produced. Typical 2nd album stuff when the studios get too involved,

Bought both albums this last week. Much prefer the first for it simplicity and freshness.

:old man alert:

Who?

Quite tidy though

I hate her voice!!!

Amy MacDonald = Music guilty pleasure

I also had 'Levelling the land' playing this week on Spotify again

Levellers = Music guily pleasure

but then again also had the U.F.Orb on

The Orb = Music guily pleasure

& The KLF, Carter USM, The Farm, Lemon Jelly 🙂

argh b0110cks I think she's brilliant.

Like a 00's Lorraine McIntosh

Old man alert = Spot on

She's gonna have nice jowls in a couple of years, Lisa Hannigan has a much nicer voice.

Loved both albums, very good cover of dancing in the dark on the second one.

I'm going to see Amy at the end of the month for the 2nd time. She's great in a chill out music kind of way. Talks to the crowd too which is more than a load of "artists" these days.

tiger - I've seen the Levellers about 5 times now, probably the best performance I've ever seen at T in the Park. Magic. Carter USM good but the rest of your mantions I could do without.

Liked Lisa Hanigan when she was with Damien Rice but her stuff since has been a bit lacking since. Obviously if she'd done the cooking and washing up and then then asked nicely I'd have to give her one.

Amy McDonalds voice makes me feel really uncomfortable. Bit like finger nails on a blackboard feeling.....
It doesn't help that the music sounds like Levellers B sides. (old man vinyl reference).

Mostly harmless!

Way over-produced.

This is a good example of what I like to call the Katie Melba effect; the popularity with middle age men of her massively over produced (and desperately pretentious - 'being 21 acting 17' anyone?) music means that any time a new young female talent emerges, she is immediately grabbed and produced to within an inch of her musical life in order to sell shed loads of albums to thirty/forty something men with paunches.

Same thing happened to KT Tunstall although she massively redeemed herself with her 'Acoustica' album. Norah Jones, Katie Buchaven, Dildo, Duffy et al are all also victims of this.

all bloody awful -

i believe you'll find that the music industry is a business and this is what they do. AM signed a contract to sell music for a profit, it's the on one of music rather than the twisty lynskey that no one actually buys

anyway never mind the sound, she looks great *goes off to pat paunch*

eurovision already?

You might be right down South but in Scotland she is seen as a bit of a national treasure. She's never been off pub jukeboxes since she first emerged. A bit like the Proclaimers.

The Scots are very sweet. 🙂

seen her in the barrowlands a couple of years back and she was very good, going to get her new album later on today 🙂

It'll be big in Germany.

Bit too Sinead O'Connor really.

Listened to her new album a couple of times but cant really get into it. Not nearly as catchy. First album was much better but even that took a couple of months before I thought I really liked it.

cant stand her, makes a big thing about being Scots but sounds Irish to me (this is the loife)

Eh? Nothing like Irish IMHO - she's a proper weegie, complete with beans on toast face. Maybe if you were some spearheaded guy I would listen to what you had to say............

Yeah, like there's that much difference 🙄

Yeah, like there's that much difference

Maybe not to your uneducated ear Anglesi but they're as similar as scouse and Cockney to me!

never liked her since an interview with her in Q magazine splafing on about "things in her room" - pointed out a guitar and said "this was my first guitar, now its the cheapest one i've got" only thing was that it was an £800 Takamine

just thought she came across as a bit of a **** - and I hate her faux irish singing

To be fair, an £800 acoustic for a professional musician is a pretty modest outlay. The luthier's round the road from me sells stuff for more than that!

I'd have sworn she was oirish until I heard the other day she was scotchish.

Loathe her with a passion - that This is the Life song has me reaching for the off switch every time.
Talk about repetition - I think I counted eleven choruses in a row!Yes, I've got the fekcing message! Awful! 😈

Shame really... They could take any random jobbie and polish it up to a shine and it'd be just as good as this single, but instead they take someone a bit more interesting and a little different from the herd and polish her up til you can't tell the difference from all the jobbies. Ah well.

Basis of an OK song but I don't like the wall-of-sound production - has diluted the dramatic tension.

Oh perleeeeeease! 🙄

if Bono was a woman, this is what U2 might sound like.

OK but nowt special

Overegged pudding, I'm afraid

music for bedwetters.

i don't know rocketdog but presumed he was a reasonably rounded individual but FFS what is this shite?

i don't know what's more disturbing the crass banality of the music or your psychosis?

oh hang on it's a troll post. well done top effort.
