so, has anyone heard of them??
I discovered them tonight when i was watching a youtube tut on how to straighten your fringe...(i just cut mine tonight, ala claudette colbert style)
and suddenly this song came on, and i was like...wtf? what is this song, and who is that singing???
turned out to be marina and the diamonds, and the song Shampain.
well, im now hooked, love them,
her voice is insane, i love it, so strong.......
all i can say is wow.

she has a nice voice. and can be found at the itunes store.
Albums indicate Welsh.

Welsh reminds me of Celtic music. Strong, vibrant and sometimes it even touches something deep down inside.

Ran across them a few months ago. I have a couple of their CD's.

I like this version of the song. Love the expressions on her face in the "OMG you look just like Shakira" part......

yeah isnt she?? i think she looks like a mix between audrey tautou and catherine zeta,
and acoustic, she really proves she can sing, and she dosent take her clothes off, i love that.
i love gaga, but at least marina keeps her stuff on and sings better

Marina is MUCH better than Gaga (I can't stand Gaga- her music is nonsensical). My wife thinks Marina should be a lipstick model, too. Says she has a perfect mouth. I couldn't agree more lol...... Have you watched the video for I Am Not a Robot?

I also recommend Mazzy Star and Cowboy Junkies. Mazzy has a lovely voice, and Margo from Cowboy Junkies has such a soulful voice (look for their cover of Lou Reed/Velvet Underground's 'Sweet Jane'.....

I can't stand that gaga idiot. I really don't understand the attraction to her.
my daughter introduced me to her......... i know for a fact my daughter likes her for different reasons to me,
i was attracted to the nipple tape and her insane imagination with clothes and music vids .....

Oh yeah! I love Garbage, too. My favorite from them is #1 Crush.

Not at all impressed with Gaga, and I'm not opposed to skimpy outfits, either, but Marina is by far the better singer and most certainly more talented. Gaga is just a gimmick for her record company.... and when they tire of her she will be just another easily forgotten has-been.
