Pink is actually a pretty crafted singstress, although I haven't heard any of the earlier stuff you mention, spammy (I wish I could call you something else but forgot your off screen name
)
Can you suggest some titles to listen to?
Lauren, The 'Even better than the real thing' CD's are actually quite cool and well worth a listen or two. The Frames and Bell X1 are also doing some nifty covers on there.
