Well I'm fairly certain one is dead, so she won't be enjoying much of anything. As for Joanna, well I don't know what we're calling success these days but hey, I won a coloring contest in 3rd grade once.

Anyway...Newsom's voice is not affected...Besides, what your calling affectation, I'd see as an artist being creative with what they were given.

Im confused here, shes not affecting it in anyway, yet shes being creative? Explain. Either she's singing in a manner to acheive a desiered result or shes singing as she is. If you don't agree with that point, flesh it out further.

Why is the development of a style such a crime? Music is primarily an aesthetic medium, so the level of stimulation the sound provides is more important than anything behind it. Besides the idea of "honest singing" is more than a little silly to me. Robert Plant didn't have to sing the way he did. That primal howl was an affectation. Is Led Zeppelin all the better for it? I think so.

Point taken, but don't you think it defines a degree of novelty? I mean newsome isn't even attempting to sing conventionally so to assume she's trying might be far fetched. Its a niche. I think theres a coy degree of "i'm so awful but aren't I so counter-culturally cool?"
If changing your voice was a crime I should throw out all my Waits CD's, thats not what i'm after here, its more the idea that their singing in a way to distance themselves from the masses, and I think whats more irritating about it is that fans of especailly newsome are touting it as if people who dislike her voice are uncultured freaks.
