How would you rate Grace Jones as a singer?

Umm, I don't think she sings as much as growls and talk sings. Besides that, she scares me.

I freaking [img:$uid]http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e70/SexyBeautifulOne/Emoties/e5019159.gif[/img:$uid] me some Grace Jones!

She's not perfect but she's perfect for me!

This is her SINGING while hola hooping, at the age of 64!

I'm just a slave to her rhythm! [img:$uid]http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e70/SexyBeautifulOne/Emoties/e5019159.gif[/img:$uid]

I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.

Homegirl can sing and sing good!

In fact imo i think she has a unique voice. Much like Diamanda Galas she acreams a lot and is a little bit aggresive lol but it adds to the dramatics of the performance.

Pistols sounded like "Fuck off," wheras The Clash sounded like "Fuck Off, but here's why.."- Thedigitialgardener

Where is her brother's church? I knew she had one brother that was a pastor, but never knew where he was located.

I love Grace. I didn't care for her much until I was given this from a radio promo:

On most of her songs she just sings, there's hardly talking. Only on Hurrican she "talk sings" a lot, and she does have an amazing talking voice.

She isn't really a singer - she's a performance artist.

We don’t mourn artists because we knew them. We mourn them because they helped us know ourselves.

Yeah. Plus her voice is an acquired taste. I love it on her new wave/reggae/rock material.

She is a singer. Tracks like "La vie en rose" or "I'm not perfect" (my favourite track of her) are really well sung, take away the performace and you still have a good record.

As a singer I think she is smart and exciting, and has amazing intuition. There is more to singing than just having a certain quality of voice; if that is your benchmark I think Susan Boyle has a new record out.
