Seriously? You'd call her talent and turn your nose up at the Trag? lol... alright, we have WAY different musical tastes.
Well, one can sing.... the other just..... well.... can't. Sorry, but I honestly don't believe that Gordon Downie has any talent with singing. Sure he maybe able to write some good lyrics here and there, but when you open your mouth and nothing but a shakey-nazzelly sound comes out like someone's got your testicles in a vice grip..... there's something wrong.
I think the Hip would be pretty damn good if they had another singer, but then again, as most say, it wouldn't be the Hip anymore.
To each their own. I'm just explaining why I didn't mention them myself.
And besides, Chantel is hot.... besides having some impressive songwritting skills and some memorable songs.
I don't follow too many female artists and their music, not because I'm sexist, but because I usually don't relate to their stuff..... but Chantel K. and Sarah M. are probably the two best female artists/singers Canada has put out in a long long time.
