Any fans? i saw a great arts documentary on her once called "have voice, will travel" exploring her career in depth. she's a true brittish diva, and i became somewhat of a fan at the point of seeing that film. i liked finding out that (what is often the case with so many powerhouse 'pop' singers) that even though her voice is so big, she didn't learn how to sing properly until mid-career; until then she didn't use proper technique, and ended up busting her own vocal cords after a tour and rendering herself mute for a short time. then she had to re-learn how to bring sound out of her mouth again....in short, i like her, drive, camp, and all....i just wish to GAWD she would employ a new costume designer to save us from having to endure some of those monstronsities i've seen her wear onstage; it's like she caught onto the "bob mackie as he used to dress youthful, studio 54-sonny & CHER" era, 25 years TOO LATE | |

The crazy costumes is what i don`t like about her, it`s just way too much. Her voice is very unique, but i think her image takes over everything | |

Yeah, great mix, much better than the propeller heads` "Goldfinger" remix. "Goldfinger" is a brilliant song, what a waste "History repeating" turned out good!! | |

OHHH1 MY GAAAAAWWWWWDDDDD!!!!! She is SSSSOOOOO!!!! FFFAAAABBBUUULLLLOOOOUUUUUSSSS. I just love those bravura vocals and over the top gowns. What I love too is all her songs are man done me wrong, wash that man right out of my hair stuff and she is such a prima diva. My favourite songs (probably the campest ones) Does anybody miss me, Big Spender, Diamonds are forever and Kanye West remix, History Repeating, Kiss Me Honey, Honey, Kiss Me, As long as he needs me, I who have nothing (oh my god), with these hands, The lady is a tramp, If you go away (ne quitte pas), Domage Domage, Something, Climb evry mountain, and my all time favourite, What now my love.
She is the prima diva, in fact my friends used to call me Shirley because of my mixed race ancestry and bitchy campy demeanour. hers nothing like Ms Bassey to bring the queen in you out. Shes up there with Ms Streisand and Judy Garland. (Tamille, my camp alter ego) 17 Years ago I made a commitment to Prince | |

You must be the biggest Bassey fan on the org Do you know a song she did called "Better off alone"? "And all those beginners they just turn out sinners and you`re left out crying as they turn and leave" Great song, i think she`s the only artist who has recorded it. [Edited 5/28/06 3:20am] | |

yeah.....it was nice to see her nominated for a few grammies for that one. She looked different in the video though. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I think she's had some work done looking for you in the woods tonight Switch FC SW-2874-2863-4789 (Rum&Coke) | |

Diamonds from Sierra Leone is all Kanye West, Shirley recorded Diamonds are forever in 1971 Diamonds are 4 eva Theyre all I have to please me They wont leave in the night. And yeah I am probably her biggest fan, minus all the British and Kiwi middle aged and older gay men who think she is actually the goddess Medusa and Persephone rolled into one and reborn to add some fabulosity to their otherwise dullish lives. 17 Years ago I made a commitment to Prince | |
