Just thought I'd do a little poll and see what people think about Ms Dido and her music... I loved the first album, think it is great, loads of singalong tracks on there, and have liked the singles so far off the 2nd album, sand in my shoes is a bit dull though and find more dull tracks on this album than the first...Also know people normally love her music, or cant stand it...so where do YOU stand on this crucial issue today! ;D  ;D |

Totally over-rated and the musical equivalent of watching paint dry. Damn my friends for buying her albums and putting them on as background music at dinner parties!! It's an effort to swallow every mouthful of food and an hour's meal seems to last forever. The bloody woman has clearly discovered the secret of perpetual motion and I feel like I'm going to be stuck there listening to her until doomsday!!
I'd rather have my toe nails extracted with a pair of hot pliers and NO anaesthetic than listen to either of her turgid albums again!
So - quite strong views from the Mikey camp!!

I'm really in the middle. I don't hate her as she's harmless & very simple, but her voice is dull & her songs sound the same. I voted in the middle just for "Hunter".

Who was the first celeb to call her dildo? Wasn't it Ali G in the EMA's?

Oooh Mikey, does anyone else generate this much venom from you musically?  I do love her first album, she's got a lovely voice and some very uplifting songs, but feel I will never win you over, not convinced on the 2nd album yet... Can see why people dont like her, but hey anyone who sells that many records in the US has got to be good for UK music;) |

I have to agree with Vanpry Who is it? Wait I know what I will do.......(calling my son and asking him) Oh he said it is a She and she is a singer. Now that helped me  NOT! So I guess my vote would be not a fan of her music. After all I have no idea what she sings. Can someone sing a few songs for us people here that don't know her?  James you can sing it for me and Vanpry

I like a few singles, but I have no patience to listen to any of the two albums from start to the end. She's very good live and writes her songs...and she's quite sweet, that's why she sells so much. From the buyers' reviews, it is clear that the second album didn't go down equally well as the first with her fans. However, she's got her market niche and if not a fan of this type of music, in my opinion, that's not a reason to hate her.

I really like her music, it's so easy to have on in the background, when you're trying to have a conversation and don't want to really listen to the music. LOVE her new one, I'll probably really insult some folks here, but I think she sounds a lot like Suzanne Vega on her new track. ;D
