Title: Anyone here have an opinion on Regina Spektor?
Post by: Gryff on 27 Nov 2006, 07:39
I'm just wondering. At first I wasn't sure if I did, but now I definitely have an opinion on Regina Spektor.

I liked her until you did.

Yeah, well, y'know, that's just, like, your opinion, man.

Man, Gryff man, this summarizing feud is totally fine by me because I know I will win in the end, but if you are mocking one of my favorite human beings you have just crossed a line you will shortly wish you had not crossed!

I'm totally in love with Regina. She's got this amazingly cute way of singing and she does so much with her voice and a piano. She writes words in a way that makes me feel good about what I feel bad about.
Plus, she uses an old wooden chair as a percussive instrument on her album and in her live shows.

I think she's kind of cute actually.  My ex was a huge fan of her music, so when we were together, I used to listen to a lot of it just for the sake of thinking about her (my ex, not regina).  Now I don't, for the same reason. 

I liked the songs on Soviet Kitsch a lot better than the ones on Begin To Hope.

I'm sensing a pattern.
Man, my reply was way too emo
But still, i'm sensing a pattern.
Objectivly, she's not bad... i like her voice and the two songs i've heard, but she's no Joanna Newsom

I'll check out more of her songs but I heard one on youtube and wasn't really interested.

I've listened to most of "Soviet Kitsch" thought it was quite decent.

I like her.  she's got a real childlike quality

I quite like her myself.

Not sure about Begin to Hope. the new version of 2o Years of Snow is weird.

Youtube doesn't necessarily have the best audio fidelity. I do my darndest not to listen to new music unless I've got good headphones/stereo system and a decent copy of the song.

I don't hate her as much anymore now.

Post by: CutMan on 30 Nov 2006, 04:44
I've only heard one song, but I thought it was quite cool.
She has an interesting/quirky/cute way of singing, and the lyrics
in the song I heard were cute.

Based on that, I like her.

My opinion is that 11:11 was her best album

i heard her for the first time today. i don't know what the song was but she was doing a semi spoken word thing with a repeating keyboard line. actually at first i thought it was ani difranco but my friend corrected me. then i said "maybe i should put a bucket over my head and a marshmellow in each ear.." and it fit. so even though i thought that this song was an almost complete rip off of ani difranco i didn't mind because it sounded cool. i'm alex attack and this is my opinion.

Im a newcomer to the board.  So i figured my first post might as well be here.
I quite like Regina Spektor.  Her music makes me feel really.. well pretty darned good.  I enjoy listening to the music
but there are other points in her live performances when her personality shines through in just the right way
to make me like her that much more.  A perfect example of this is in between "That Time" and "Mermaid" on Regina Spektor - Live at the Cabaret Voltaire.  Another point where she won me over was during her live performance here > http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-9006910747092112742 .  Theres a general warmth to her that just draws me in.

Thats my two cents.. take it for what its worth.
Be well.

I hadn't heard any of her music until Slick sent me my mix CD, but now I have and am happy. I may just have to buy an album or two, if I get some money for Christmas. Also, she is super cute and I wish I looked like her.

Her name sounds like a japanese-built device for checking for yeast infections.

This makes me super happy. It also makes me a little sad because I haven't written anything about your mix yet. New years resolution?

I'm more or less always in the mood for her.

You really should, I mean, really really should.

I am downloading a whole pile of her live stuff. As good as or better than her recorded albums?


(yes, reviving this thread, its not that old)
