As for the Cranberries, that strange vocal thing is called a "Celtic

autotune at all - I believe there is actual singing talent involved.

Ms Or'Riordan might *sound* like a strangled cat but she has a genuinely
pure toned singing voice. It's just a shame she chooses to sing such ****e
;-)

Of course that s a cat of an entirely different colour. I have heard
her singing other music live, and you are right - she can really sing.



Don, out of interest what other music have you heard Dolores
O'Riordan-Burton perform? The vast majority (all I think) of what I have
heard, both live (4 concerts) and the recorded work (5 albums) has been
penned by O'Riordan-Burton herself, or else, co-written with fellow band
member Noel Hogan.

As for the "Celtic Yelp" now Sinéad O'Connor yelps, perhaps you are
confusing the two? ;)))

BTW, I saw Sinéad a few years ago at the fleagh at Finsbury Park and
she really was ****e. Her mike was feeding back all the time and the
stuck up bitch didn't do anything about it - just said "well, that's
rock'n'roll". Well, I've news for her - it isn't. The Pogues were
really disappointing too. The Corrs were pretty...
