Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?

….this gem of an LP

l have learnt something tonight. Did not realise she vocalised in English. Apparently it was a peculiarity that Edith dropped a lot of the tongue warbling rrrrr’s in English. Plus the songs were a little less furiously rattled off.

Maybe l will have no regrets if trying to listen in English?

Didn’t Neil Diamond also sing a song with “no regrets” in the lyrics?

NOOO, it was Waylon Jennings …….and a few others.

Just went to YouTube to hear Edith Piaf.

She sounds not unlike an operatic munchkin.

“She sounds like an operatic munchkin”

Yes she had a quite small frame but a large voice. Good pair of lungs and arguably did resembled a munchkin.

After some advice from @chrisochea (thank you) l was enticed to listen to her English songs last night and heard positive results….l suddenly found her to be less annoying. Singing in French l always considered her diction to be rasping and excruciating, but in English her voice is a little more mellow and rolled off. 
I must confess her English adaptations only caused a slight irritation, but while listening l still felt l was running into the yellow brick wall.

Ultimately I’ve now decided l will not be revisiting this artist again……well l’m off to have a wiz. Nature is unexpectedly making that call for some reason after reliving all this.

The recording artist is for me someone l just can’t listen to.

Congratulations and kindest regards to all who played a hand in it and got involved. This one has now reached a magical set of numbers for a ‘music’ section question not designed to be a reoccurring post like… “What is playing on your turntable tonight?” or “Tune of the day” which by their nature will go on forever.

This morning it was a nice surprise seeing 11000 views and 350 posts. It has reached a respectable peak, plus for me it has been an enjoyable climb and all in just over 2 weeks.

Thanks again. 11000 metres is about the height of Mount Everest?

Sorry typo… 10100 views
