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.

Newsom's voice never even struck me as that unconventional, I actually found it quite endearing the first time I heard it, much like when I first heard Tom Waits. I mean, it's obviously not for everyone but then there are people like Simon Cowell who think Dylan can't sing. To each his own. Joanna seems to me much too modest and sincere to be employing her voice as a gimmick to get indie cred.
