[Orang Utan]

Do you like Kate Bush?

she must be pretty much the only person in the country to adore theresa may



it is at that point i lost any interest in her music, she can run up that hill on her tod

 

[Orang Utan]

not sure how that happens, the music hasn't changed.

it all seems tinsel, tbh, since i found that out it all seems contrived and affected rather than how i'd previously seen her.

I bloody love Pink so I’m voting for her.

I was never a massive fan of Amy Winehouse. She always looked a bit grubby.

 

[8ball]

I adore her

.... is the right answer.

 

[Steel Icarus]

Why compare these two specifically? They're not alike really. Or is it just two similarly famous female singers and that's enough?

 

[sealion]

I adore her

How long have you adored Bush ?

Since seeing her on the cover of The Kick Inside when I was a small

They aren't even similar though. The only thing they have in common is that they are female. I suspect a few pints in the pub, possibly even a little 'bump' in the toilets, had led Spymaster and his mates to have a gibberish conversation. It's Friday and spring is in the air. Why not?!

I absolutely love Amy. I have everything she ever recorded. When I look at her pre-drug/alcoholism I find her very attractive too.

I like Pink. She's done some good stuff. She's also quite attractive and can be sexy, and funny.

Overall, if Amy was still alive, I'd go for Amy first.

 

[moomoo]

Is this the right place to admit that I can’t stand Kate Bush? She’s dreadful enough already but that computer record she did was beyond awful.

What computer record?

 

[Treacle Toes]

What computer record?

Maybe?

 

[moomoo]

Maybe?

I don’t think it was that. Christ, has she made two?!

She’s too pretentious for my liking. I like what I like and I don’t like her.

 

[DJWrongspeed]

We need a different poll they're not comparable. It's like comparing marshmallows with carrot cake.

At least Pink can get up and perform for ticket holders. Anyone care to link to a good, full length Winehouse live performance, i doubt it.

Amy was fantastic- she had the songs, the voice, the style and the dramatic personal life that made her one of the greats.

What do you mean by computer? She's always been heavily into electronics

I didn't say they were similar! I said they were similarly-famous, i.e. about the same fame as one another. Which is what you said.

 

[Steel Icarus]

For the record I prefer Pink's discography to Amy's, possibly cos I like the songs/musical style better. I genuinely prefer Pink's vocals, too. Just sound less contrived. I realise this is entirely my perception, but it's mine to have.

Amy had a great voice, and a biting wit. Her music was inextricably enmeshed with the tragedies in her short life, and what she has left: both in music and legend, is iconic.

Pink strikes me as a pretty sound person. Smarter than the average bear but not clever enough for that to be her *thing*. I'd like to be mates with pink, whereas Amy must have been a total nightmare.

We'r the kids in America whoo whoo

She can sing alright

Pink you'd take home to your mum, Amy you'd be in love with, and she'd break your heart, repeatedly.

Are you still dividing all women up into a few one-dimensional stereotypes in 2018 dess? I wonder how this is possible after 13 years of regular posting on urban - you'd have thought just by some kind of osmotic process you'd have picked some of this stuff up by now...

Pink is absolute MOR shit. Wasn't really a fan of Amy at the time, but after watching the documentary about her, and hearing some pre-Ronson material, I definitely 'get' her (though still don't own any of her records).

Bit of a silly question IMO.

 

[Johnny Vodka]

Pink has more chance of producing some decent new stuff.

Still arguable.
