actualy after reading rave reviews about this album i went to check it out and found nothing special about him...he sounds like boy george or summat ( some people compared his voice to that of nina simone...boy were they talking out of their arses...)
if you want beautiful tunes get cold roses from ryan adams....

good god, i can't believe i wrote this. goes to show you, never rely on the amazon 30 second previews, they show you nothing...
i downloaded this album right before i went home and i can't stop listening to it. one of the most captivating albums of 2005, absolutely beautiful. his voice is nothing short of amazing and the nina simone comparisons stand ( i should really think before i post sometimes ). from the haunting opener "hope there's someone", through the 90 second masterpiece of "what can i do" and the hopeful closer of "bird ghurl", it's absolute perfection. heartbreaking and beautiful. my sister also can't get enough of it. ( my mid sister's comment was " em....it's odd..." *sigh*...why do i bother with her)

I was wondering if Antony was ever gonna come up here. I love Antony and the Johnsons... he identifies himself as a woman, and lives life as a woman - but as a sex is a man. It's insane, it's beautiful... and he does sound like Boy George, and Boy George has even done some tracks with him. Caught Anytony and the J's and Devendra Banhart together in Chicago.

I saw him around the time I Am A Bird Now was released. Incredible live show, and great album.

I'm sure if I love this or hate it. It's different. It's good whether I like it or not.

I can't stand his voice it's like he's crying/singing/having an orgasm all at once and it's off putting.

First time I started playing "Bird", and hearing that voice come booming through on "Hope There's Someone", I was immediately enthralled. Maybe even one of those "what the heck is this about" unsure moments. "Is this gonna be good, or just wierd?" I thought. But it just got into me, and by the big piano build-up in that opening song, I knew I was gonna be in for a treat.

It's just so moving and (in a good way) dramatic. I dig the other albums, but "I am a Bird Now" is still my favourite. I even had "You Are My Sister" played at my sis' wedding for our dance.
