Emeli Sande

[ghandi]

After hearing her at the Olympics and on Jools Hootenanny last night i thought i'd give her album a listen this morning. I'm impressed not only with her voice but also the fact that unlike some other female vocalists of this jaundre she actually writes all of her own material. Great tracks such as " Next to me", Heaven " Clown " , "my kind of love" and " River " are destines to become classics from a great Debut album. I'd love to see her at Glasto somewhere.

[Dan R]

Id be suprised if she's not there, very popular at the moment and very talented. I can see her being 3rd on the Pyramid, maybe west holts headliner, but she's probably too big for that.

[matthewsdad1968]

saw her when she supported coldplay on their tour. fantastic voice live. can see her headlining West Holts

[AnnaGrant]

She is certainly popping up on everything at the moment, Olympics, Jools Holland Hootenany, chat shows, winning awards.

However whilst appreciating that she has a good voice she just isn't very interesting, to me anyway. She has that 'soulfulness' like Mary J Blige and Alicia Keys which seems a bit forced and appears like an exercise in vocal dexterity.

I would prefer to see someone like Paloma Faith, who was also on Jools last night and came across as warm and funny, and a real performer.

[BlackHole2006]

Her voice irritates me immensely. It just sounds so nazaly and fake. But yeah, she'll probably pop up somewhere.

[Vieuphoria]

Isn't this the woman who clearly blew Danny Boyle to the best of her abilities?

[dan8k]

Shes good for her jaundre

[the wonderwhy]

Even if she's not at Glastonbury, her music will be used on every single BBC highlights montage

[JamesT977]

Professor Green is likely to be there so assuming from that i'd say she will.

[Mardy]

yeah, what a few others have said, she's talented and that, but I can't stand that style of singing. Would never ever choose to listen to her.

[ghandi]

I find it strange when someone would say that Mary J Blige's voice was " forced".

[AnnaGrant]

I think I am scarred by hearing too much Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey, not by choice, in my youth.

Now when I hear anything 'soulful' and making one note into several notes ( I'm not musical, is there a term called melasma to describe it) I run a mile.

And I'm afraid Emelie Sande reminds me of the two repeat offenders I mentioned above.

Again, it's my particular opinion. Lots of people like that sort of thing.

[Big Vern]

As good as she is, she has been so over exposed, I was expecting her to be reffing the Utd match today!

[Bisque]

I could only describe her as fantastic on the main stage at Bestival 2012. Blew me away despite not being there to go see her (dragged along to XX by friends I think).

I would go & see her at Glasto.

[mattgimmeshelter]

Interesting act, wouldn't be a bad addition to the line up. Nothing wrong with her.

[FloorFiller]

i used to enjoy her music but what with the Olympics and all the other overexposure she's had, i've grown absolutely sick of her. wish i'd gone to see her at Bestival so i could've enjoyed her live when i still enjoyed her music. if she played Glastonbury, it'd have to be a 'if i'm already there' situation if i was going to watch her

[drewsstrat]

Cowell likes her, so I guess knowing cowell there's some music company connection, and one reason why I haven't warmed to her yet. Jools holland show she did sing well though

[Filthy]

She could certainly do with more publicity. I for one haven't heard enough of her warbling on every TV show going

[russycarps]

This year's Duffy

[LondonTom]

I don't mind her, yeah a few songs are decent enough and she will no doubt pop up and was half decent at Hackney Weekend last year...but she is fucking everywhere?! It's making me bored of her and that's a shame.

I really have missed all this overexposure, perhaps because I don't watch tv much.
