Just watched some of their live stuff on BBC3 - the biggest pile of rubbish I have ever heard, she cannot sing at all.

    Saw her at Reading last year, spent quite a lot of the set discussing whether she used to be a man. But her version of Halo is really, really good.

    (I like Dog Days and Between 2 Lungs too, but it's a 13 track album so 2 good songs doesn't make a superstar...)

    Have to say, with risk of being shot down in flames, she is good live. I saw her at the hammersmith earlier this year.

    Cracking legs, though up close she looks a little like Noel fielding.

    Yup, I thought that too. About the good live and the Fielding. Very good frontwoman...

    She can't sing lol. Maybe a good show woman. But a singer, sounds like a strangled cat.

    she's got a great voice for what she does, like kate bush had for what she did, and florence copies. :lol:

    She's all right until she starts shouting, which she inevitably does in all of her songs!

    Listen to the start of Dog Days and she sounds great, but the longer the song goes on the louder she gets and the more annoying it becomes!

    She can't sing, is boring and incredibly pretentious. Just like Lilly Allen/Kate Bush/Joss Stone/Marina and the Diamonds/Ellie Goulding etc etc etc etc etc etc etc zzzzzzzz.......

    Bring back proper rock music like AC/DC and Queens of the Stoneage! :twisted:

    I reckon she can sing, just a bit too keen on wailing for my taste. Very powerful voice when she uses it right though.

    OTOH... How much does Drumming Song sound like Kate Bush? You're running up that hill...

    i watched it live and was in awe.

    Not by her though.... Dizzy's timing + rapping is superb. He's probably the only rap artist i'd see live.

    Saw Paramoe live at the big weekend. They really ARE good live. She's a fantastic frontwoman.
    Not a parcticularly big fan of theirs, but I like some of their stuff. But live, well, they were excellent.

    very. But she just totally owned the stage. She's no shrinking violet for sure.
    I think her voice sounds amazing when she's singing soft too though, like in the B.o.B track "Airplanes".

    I was completely blown away by how good the band were, I mean, they were simply astonishing.
    Then during a short break, she announced they were from Nashville, Tenesse.....
    That explains it!

    In case you didn't know, Nashville seems to be a place where thoroughbred musicians are born and raised - to rise to the top when you come from there you have to extraordinarily talented.
