PrintableGood topic. Im always amazed Gabrielle didnt have a couple of hits - shes done some pretty radio friendly stuff - but her image was very non-US. That said i would have thought they'd lap up Eternal. Maybe they were considered to be too En Vogue-lite.
Girls Aloud im not shocked by. Despite having some brilliantly brash pop music - its waaay too pop for America. Im always shocked Beverly Knight hasnt done more - both at home and in the US. Shes amazingly talented and has done some great stuff. I see the turds theyt hrow off the X-Factor / American Idol conveyorbelt, and she could out sing & perform all of them. leona Lewis is a no brainer for US success - thats why Simon Cowell loves her so much. Shes got that inoffensive blandness that lights up $ in his eyes. Girl maybe able to pretend to emote - but shes practically a phoetus - how much soul is really in that voice? Coming to think of it, there hasn't been that many great UK lady talents out there - in a pop sense. They're always either pale imitations of their american counterparts, or they're too un-commercial - Goldfrapp and Roisin Murphy who are making supremely better music than pretty much all other females out there. | |

Keep quiet about that. We're trying to forget it. If everyone agrees to never mention it ever again, then we may be able to banish it from memory.
