Sarah McLachlan: YAY or NAY & Y?

Strangely, she's never talked about here!



Opinions?

I dislike her passionately. All her music sounds like feminine contraceptive commercials, and if that wasn't bad enough, she's mean looking and I truly dislike her croaky voice.

i don't hate tori like i hate sarah. tori just makes me feel tired, like i've heard it all before. i actually like her song "god", and the video is gorgeous. i also like the the things tori has done for young women, and how supportive she is of her fans. i'm sure sarah's done wonderful things too, but i still don't like her. lol

Sarah has an amazing voice and has written some truly beautiful songs. I have to be in a certain mood to listen to her, but I highly respect her as an artist.

I thought Fumbling Towards Ecstasy was an incredible album, and I love her voice. The 2 studio albums since then (that's right, 2 over a 13 year time span) have been pretty watered down.

My gal is the bigger fan, and even she's lost interest with Sarah's sporadic output - and felt taken advantage by live albums that don't add much to the studio versions.

I can definitely see why she isn't talked about...

Her stuff does start to run together after awhile but if that's what you want to hear then it's fine. It can set a nice mood and she has a beautiful voice.

They play her on the Canadian station that comes into Detroit here...they play safe Top 40 stuff, with an emphasis on ninties type stuff. Sarah gets a lot of radio play because I think they have rules about Canadain artists and how much they get radio play. I like her a lot but not enough to buy her full albums. She should release a singles/greatest hits collection.

I read that in a review and it's something that sticks in my head anytime I think of buying a live album.

Yay. Count me among the folks who love her voice.

Just not enough output from her.

Sarah's voice is okay, but I find her music to be incredibly boring.

She gets points however, for her nekkid "Into The Fire" video. razz

i've heard it.

i just can't get into the whole hold-a-mirror-to-your-pudenda, scented candle lilith fair thing. i'll admit to getting a little weepy when they sang "calling all angels" on six feet under, but that's all you're getting from me. lol

You and me both. I'm so glad Tori distanced herself from that tour and turned down all invitations to perform.

But then she toured with Alanis. neutral

I recall back in the day...it was all YAY. Then she got so hyped and played out and well Sarah was around every corner you looked. So..I'm was on the Nay.

Then she worked with Delerium...and I was Yay.

Now I am just ..eh.
