    What exactly happened in 1983?



    Blue Monday, it's arguable that that wasn't even original electronic music, but it's still a classic that hasn't been rivaled very often I would say

    Um Mirror have you tried the Half man half biscuit fan board? Or maybe Morrisey?

    I think Tanita Tikarams a bit below the belt.

    are you Terry Hall?



    I realise I am probably in the minority here, but I love Morrissey. The Forum Morrissey Solo is a funny old place  described by the singer as a 'hateful online creche' hmmmm

    across the pond, both in this thread as in the other (“Farewell, Goldfrapp”).

    Even if requested, Mirror shall not comment on that particular discussion, as
    it does not know the details.



    A lot has
    been said today, almost even too much for the Mirror to assimilate.

    Either way, Mirror noticed one particular point which occurred in both
    Border_Mind, Dreeke’s and Sartori’s posts:

    the wonderfulness that is Ms. Goldfrapp’s unique voice.



    A few
    reflections: of course Mirror did marvel at Lovely
    Head
    and Utopia, but the question
    is, can she actually still reach the high notes, and does she still experiment
    with her voice? Or is she merely content being the sultry siren? Surely the
    continuous chain smoking and the cosmetic teeth surgery must have their impact
    on the vocals? Doesn’t appear that the singer takes her vocal abilities that
    seriously at all.

    Mirror seems to recall the singer herself commenting on the range of her voice
    dropping a lot lower?



    As an input
    to discussion what do you make of this commercial?

    Are her voice and sounds really that unique? It sounds pretty easy to imitate,
    and one has to admit, it’s not even such a bad imitation…

  • Seems to me, Mirror, that you get some sort of pleasure in debating and finding flaws in anything you can. You say you appreciate or marvel at something, yet you waste no time in launching back into criticism mode.

    Seriously, there's having a different opinion to everyone else and wanting to get a good discussion going, and then there's just being negative for the sake of it.

  • @Low

    Why would you think Mirror is being deliberately negative, and therefore immediately go into defensive mode?
    Most of the time its posts consist of questions, not opinions.
    Maybe because what Mirror asks might be possibly true, or is grounded in a viable reality?
    Mirror atleast tries to base their questions on source material (see clip).

    Probably because I don't see why anyone who would really consider themselves a fan of an artist would take time to sign up to their message board and post consistently critical posts. Why Goldfrapp? Why here? And why the 3rd person? That's the biggest question.
    Questions they may be, but they're questions that are posted to evoke some sort of negative reaction from users on here. Why? Most of us are fans, happy fans at that. Why try to change that?
    And I'm not being defensive. Just a bit fed up seeing that this is still going on after a good few days. I don't really think if's healthy to spend this long thinking you're a mirror and "reflecting" on all the duo's faults or negative qualities. If you're bored, get a hobby or something.

  • congratulations Mirror. In terms of making an entrance it was a good one. I think we all know you are here now.

    Ponygurl may have photos. Future historians may look upon said photos and question.."what the hell was she thinking?" Ponygurl does not want to disclose such photos...as the bedazzlement may reflect God...or something like "God, put that thing away"...it is hard to tell in this lighting. Ponygurl must retire to bed now, for too much reflection has made her weary. Goodnight mirror...nightgood rorrim (?)
