    I thought the poor little creature looked nervy as hell!



    She doesn't do herself any favours by hiding in the shadows and ignoring her audience like that either... the other acts may be crap but at least they had some kind of stage presence, and they look like they were enjoying it all, by contrast Alison seemed to want to crawl away and hide, which in essence she did, not waving goodbye at the end, no real eye contact blah blah blah.... if anything she had a very 'negative' stage presence, she might be shy, and some people may find this charming, but that's not the way it comes across...

    sure it's clear that she's got nothing in common with the other acts there, but that should have been a bonus, and she could have used that positively , instead she just seemed to vanish inbetween some jazzer and some raucous black punky guitar combo.

    This'll get me killed but that's the way I feel about it....






    I guess there is a contingent that likes to see women play right to camera desperate for attention, like bad soap opera actors. I suppose it comes down to a matter of taste.

    Alison's not the person who is desperate to receive attention and she's a bit shy, she also admitted it, but i don't think it's necessary to show themselves like monsters on stage to get some attention, she has a great voice and a strong stage persona without waving too much and that makes her win. She also doesn't like tv performances and she's way more open at her own gigs, so if you could watch her in a concert you would discover her more relaxed with her audience.

    that's not what I meant.... I think her shyness makes her seem a bit rude and snobby, I know that's (probably) not how she is, but that's how it comes across

    it's a shame because.... just because ... Also  her shyness and nervousness discloses a tremendous sadness about her, which I think is deeper than the affect she assumes for the song... 

    someone mentioned somewhere on here that she has a melancholy about her, and one can feel it's icyness practically reaching out of the screen, it's like that feeling you get when you push your shopping trolley into the freezer section

    when I saw her at Reading years ago she told someone to "fuck off", then gave up after 2 attempts to launch into TipToe scowling at the band 

    yeah she seemed much more relaxed!

    mind you she did channel the anger into an excellent rendition of Human -

    I thought her icy stage persona went perfectly with what is a very melancholic song

    I would rather Alison be herself. Rather than be a attention seeker. Who acts all false with everybody. I am a shy person. So i understand that imo Alison is a shy but talented person. We all have our own personal feelings and ways.

    Was talking to one of the ladies on my reception at work earlier and somehow fell into the conversation of last nights programme as she said her nephew likes Frapp. Well chuffed at this so persude the conversation and she said "Goldfrapp, oh the one with the blonde lady and the haunting vocals? I enjoyed that". Well, I nearly wet myself with excitement by then and she said she would like to listen to TOU! 
    Fantastic. Shes not having my real copy though just a copy version. Another convert maybe??

    I failed miserably with Oasis back in the days of the wondrous Britpop era I loved so much. NONE of my mates liked Oasis and still dont  :(
