I disagree. I don't think I've seen a film that replicates the tone, feel and look of it's source material as well as this does. I watched it only a few days after reading the comic. It was like taking the same medicine, only in liquid rather than tablet form. The film felt as empty as the...

Also good to have this Brazilian back:

That's been baffling me for a while. I think they do have a certain mental block at the moment. Saviola's 27. I wouldn't call him irrelevant. I'm sure he's still got the talent he always had. He's one of those players who managers find difficult to fit into their team - he's more a striker than...

Sneijder, Van der Vaart and Saviola. They were on the bench - injured presumably. People go mad about Ibrahimovic because he can conjure up a bit of genius - a back-heeled goal, an outrageous dribble, a spanking shot. He does it in Serie A quite regularly. I thought that in the second-half he...

Patlabor the Movie 2. One of the very few films about political machinations to actually be dramatically interesting Quantum of Solace Exciting and pretty subtle Days and Nights in the Forest Flight of the Red Balloon

Hate the music, but the performance truly is remarkable

I was using an analogy in response to the clear prejudice against certain artists indicated by another poster's use of the word 'seems' Listening to singers, with their technical ability in mind, formed my opinion. That is not arbitrary. It is based on something concrete, albeit filtered...

Nowhere. That's a pretty rank performance tbf. It just strikes me as high-end karaoke, but still better than the dead singers that keep on getting recommendations. Can't seem to find a recent / well recorded live performance by mbilia bel, unfortunately.

I meant the best singers NOW. I thought the list might engender disagreement not empty derision. It would be more absurd to post a list that I know everybody will love, or that isn't an honest representation of my views. It's not particularly scientific to set up an experiment and then throw...

lol

Me: These are my aims, criteria, findings with examples (=assertion with substance) You: *blows raspberry* P.S. Does Hope Sandoval still perform? I like her.

LOL, though I had to look it up.

I think it's her technical ability that enables her to so easily convey emotion. The strength of her tone and the malleability of her voice enables wonderfully precise phrasing. She's also never out of tune or out of breath. I exaggerated when saying I don't get moved by performances. I do...

Thanks. For me any emotion I may get from a performer or a performance is immediately derailed by any technical faults I hear. That's just the way I am. I get more emotionally from sheer technical brilliance. Of course there are singers I like for their particular tone of voice. As I'm sure...

. It had substance, you just didn't agree with it. Why do we have to play these playground games? I have noticed a propensity on this site to quickly marginalise and then ignore certain opinions, ridiculing them rather than engaging with them maturely. I just wanted to know who impresses you...

Yeah, I listened to her. She's good, but a lot of the live performances turned out not to be. Are there are any other quality dance music singers?

. I have been compiling lists since the age of three and distinguishing timbres since not long after. Do you conduct all your arguments as an arrogant battle for validation? If I can hear a clear difference I can hear a clear difference. Why do you have to throw your 'credentials' in my face...

You need to listen to more music if you can't hear the distinction. What's that got to do with anything. She's awful now.
