I saw a television interview and a performance of "You are my sister" last week, and what a singer, i`ve never heard a voice like that before.
They were GREAT!

My sister sent me an e-mail a few weeks ago about this band. She told me to check them out, and I looked at their site, but I haven't heard them yet.

Anthony is an androgynous man.His looks has been influenced by people like Marc Almond & Divine.That's writing on his face: "I Love You..."

sosgemini said:

that's a guy.

i think he wrote his lyrics on his face so he wouldn't forget them, but in the end he realized it was a bad idea that's why he's appears to be sad in the photo.

btw, i love i hope there's someone

i downloaded this from iTunes recently but i haven't listened to it...i attempted to upload it to my mp3 player, but i can't find it anywhere.

Interesting. He sort of sounds like Nina Simone. With music similar to something Moby would do.

I could have done without Boy George on that first one though.

By the way, I like this music.

I agree, he has a kind of vibratto, like Simone.

cool stuff. i've had the "i am a bird now" album for about 6 months
i think.

hope there's someone & fistfull of love are my favorit tracks on it

"I Am A Bird Now" is simply a masterpiece. LOVE IT!!!!

I don`t think i`ve seen a Antony and the Johnsons thread on the org before, it was about time...
I`m glad so many of you like the music too.

Yeah.....I thought Nina Simone too. At times he reminds me of Aaron Neville and Otis Redding.
