The lead singer is this tiny, pixie-like singer with a voice that rivals Shirley Bassey.


Comparing Alison Goldfrapp to Shirley Bassey strikes me as fantastic and offensive. Both she and the singer of Hooverphonic have thin, shrill, unschooled little-girl voices that are utterly incapable of matching the power of Shirley Bassey's delivery.

I always wanted to hear a Bond song sung by Grace Jones. She still has a voice that immediately makes you sit up and pay attention, and she is in complete control of every aspect of its deployment.
