And I know at least ONE other person on here thinks so, because I noticed her in a signature the other day. However, I was very busy at that moment and in the process of logging off, so I don't remember who 'twas.

Anyway, both of her full-length albums, "Soviet Kitsch" and "Begin To Hope," are superb blends of intoxicating vocals and delicious melodies. She isn't really mainstream by any stretch, but she is getting some airplay for the single "Fidelity."

Annoyingly, a lot of the press compares her to Tori Amos ("the new Tori") just because she is a woman playing piano. This is bullocks, because A) there will never be another Tori; and they really aren't that similar other than a penchant for sometimes-quirky lyrics, and the piano stuff. If anyone is a new Tori, then it's Charlotte Martin.

So ... does anyone else like Regina?

It was me Shane I first heard her on CSI: New York. "Samson" was playing during the last scenes when Stella killed her abusive boyfriend. I looked the song up and listened to some more of her stuff, and became an instant fan. I bought "Soviet Kitsch" "Begin To Hope" and I just ordered "Mary Ann Meets the Gravediggers" I can't wait for her to go on tour.

I think Keith & CRC are also fans.

Indeed! A friend of mine had stuff by her ona burned CD she had me listen to. I don't even know what songs they were, but it was just gorgeous!

I'm sorry, but I have no clue as to you all are talking about.

Oh...so that's her in your signature. I think this is the first time I've ever noticed your new signature.

Thanks.

Regina Spektor sucks. She's very, very, very, very annoying. Annoying as hell. I'm not a Tori Amos fan, but she's by far a better singer and performer.

Spektor and Corinne Bailey Rae ( she should be named Corinne Boring Rae, as Lady Sovereign has said) are the worst 2 women singers to come along iin a long time.

Lady Sovereign is just jealous because her debut CD has only sold 50,000 copies, while Rae is about to go 3 times platinum.

Of course both women are aquired tastes, and you either love them or hate them.

Mulder, I think this is one of the only times I've ever disagreed with you in three years!

I absolutely love Regina Spektor, and find her to be amazing beyond words

Luckily, we are not totally out of sync, because I CANNOT STAND Corinne Bailey Rae, and I agree that she is boring, dull, and has a noticeable lack of melody.

Hmmmm...I love Corinne Bailey Rae.

Well not to be a pretentious music snob, but since I am.........

Regina Spektor is in no way a new artist!

I realized that now But since people still don't know who she is, and I only discovered her a month ago, she's new to me

Btw Mike, You still liking the Dresden Dolls? They are doing the gay rights tour "True Colors" with Cyndi Lauper, Erasure, Debbie Harry, and others.

The True Colors tour would be awesome. I love Cyndi Lauper and Debbie Harry. Erasure is cool too btw Cyndi & Debbie kick Corinne BORING Rae and Regina Spektor's untalented asses.

To each his own, lol. Shane, I love your banner and your choices of actors and actresses in your list.

Well that I can totally agree with since we're comparing

Cyndi and Debbie are my all time faves, and to see them together would be a dream. I could die a happy man.
