To NorCal Anon. I’m the one who insists she’s a bad singer, and here’s why. On the recordings, her singing is breathy, cautious, and listless. This is how people sing when they don’t have much range or breath support or pitch control. They rely on sounding “pretty” and inoffensive to the ear, taking no chances. There is no musicality there, only image. And the live recording showed that she’s off-key most of the time. I don’t think Auto-Tune was used, only helpful engineering/editing. 1/2

NorCal response 2/2: And this offends me, because there are many professional singers, IMO (esp women) who get by on looks and image with that little-girl voice. This was especially true in “indie” music beginning about 20 yrs ago. For some reason (don’t forget her connections!), this was enough to get Sophie this album deal. So, no, I’m not going to give her credit for being a pretty good/not bad singer. As usual, she’s been given breaks and lauded far beyond what her accomplishments warrant.

TFOE: Why don’t people judge for themselves!

Here’s SH’s The Isis Project—By: Guy Chambers & Sophie Hunter (2005). The CD she did in french, in a studio.

And SH singing live at The 4th Orgasmatron in 2010 at Favela Chic.

As a singer myself, I disagree. SH was horribly off-key live, autotune was most definitely used.

Anyway she can trap bc to knock her up.with abit cute mv, abit social posh life, abit innocent face…didn’t she ???

Oh, if only it were that straight forward. I recently saw undeniable proof that everything was staged, even that. As for the innocent face? No. She looks like a schemer, those shifty weasel-eyes give it away.
