JAMIROQUAI
Rate or slate?
Jamiroquai is a bit like Marmite. It's interesting, as every time the little man with a big personality comes into conversation there seems to be an either adore or deteste type reaction from anybody involved. Fairly often the "adore" side seeming more heavily laden with females and the "deteste" more male. Which I hope is not anything just to do with said pop star's physical looks or garage contents.... :-)
Well, I'm thumbs up for the man. Hell yeah, the boy is blessed with a fair face and body and has a number of lovely rides but I think he comes across as a bit more than just that, although I haven't met him first hand. I reckon he's an underrated English Pop star. I love a star that creates such a reaction in people. If you are irrelivent then people don't bother do they. I love the tone of his voice, his individuality and think he's fairly heavily blessed with serious "X" factor - and not of the ITV television programme variety either. He's written a large number of catchy pop tunes that I like, isn't scared to be himself, uses interesting musicians and different sounds and rythyms, sings about important stuff which is pretty rare these days, and refuses to compromise, which makes him even more credible in my opinion. I like a fighter. A fighter a dancer AND a looker and he gets a triple vote..;-)
As far as the band go Adie thinks he is an overrated waste of space and won't even agree he has an interesting voice - Taylor is thumbs up but we didn't have time for reasons why so hopefully she'll pop on and say more.... Every other male I have asked so far is a definite no go but just because they think he is a tosser and rubbergirl is a straight YES yes yes yes YES! ;-D
Et tu?
