^^Has Paul Rogers undergone a sex-change, Patsy?

**billy the kid** · 11-08-2011, 01:35 AM

so could be wrong here
but there doesn't seem to be a mention of
the late great
Dusty Springfield.
Maybe i mis-read the title again.

**blue** · 11-08-2011, 01:48 AM

Well MR paul rodgers got in ....

Dusty is more than welcome
what are her best songs?

**billy the kid** · 11-08-2011, 03:18 AM

she had been entertaining us since
the early 60's when she was with the Springfields.
may be 40 years.
lil bit like what the Seekers were.
and then went solo in late 60's early 70's.

**bobo746** · 11-08-2011, 05:23 AM

The girl is not the best yet but she could be IMO.

If any more proof were needed that PJ Harvey is the greatest female lead, at least in the last decade or more, watch this to be convinced.

**Loy Toy** · 15-08-2011, 08:07 PM

Looks and sounds like a poor man's Chrissie Hynde mate.

Well that is a compliment in a round a bout way.. Chrissie Hynde was a class act, 30 years ago. In the last 15 years it's hard to find many female leads to match the vigour of those in the late 70's and early 80's. PJ Harvey sure ain't pretty, but she can sing well and play guitar, she writes her own material and she can pull it off live, I can't think of any of her contemporaries that could say the same. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a gushing PJ Harvey fan, I don't like a lot of her material, but for what she has achieved in recent times she is rather exceptional.

Lest we forget, Vera Lynn rallied the troops with her sweet voice during the war.

God bless you mam!

She still alive you know! (94)

Chrissie Hynde sounds like a weak PJ Harvey to me.

Everyone has their opinion and you have the right to yours but lets see how far PJ Harvey goes and where Chrissie Hynde is still going.

How would one quantify something like that?

To appreciate both talents and then pass judgement?

It doesn't really quantify their talents, though.

**Loy Toy** · 22-08-2011, 09:50 AM

Who actually quantifies talent?

**Marmite the Dog** · 22-08-2011, 09:56 AM

Well, you asked...

And then I asked...

And then you dribbled a bit.

So, P J Harvey continues to break new ground and receive numerous awards & accolades and Chrissy Hynde is losing her voice and is resting on the laurels of a couple of songs recorded yonks ago.

Well she's been around since the early 90's and she's starting to break new grounds?

She was in Bangkok not so long ago with a group of legendary musos and apparently blew everyone away with her brilliant performance.

I bet Chrissie Hynde is PJ Harvey's favourite singer and musical influence and realizes she can never even hold a candle to her.

And most certainly both can never lay claim to being the "greatest female lead singer of all time" even though PJ Harvey is British.

That Aussie education can be a real handicap, can't it?

True.

Seems to irritate some who take these forums too seriously.

Oh, your asking me a question are you?

By the way I wouldn't class British television awards as breaking new grounds.

In fact I had never heard of her before Neo posted her YouTube ditty.
