Christina Perri. She's about to "Break" big. What does Arfcom think?

[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Christina Perri. She's about to "Break" big. What does Arfcom think? (Page 1 of 2)

Her voice reminds me a lot of Dolores O'Riordan of the Cranberries.

This song has started getting a lot of airplay on the local stations. This time last year she was a waitress.

Her first song "Jar of Hearts" debuted on "So You Think You Can Dance" last year and got her a contract.

What say Arfcom?

What she lacks in vocal range she makes up in lyrical content and looks.
Video is interesting, at least conceptually....of course, someone else probably dreamed that all up.

Good luck to her.

I really liked her Jar Of Hearts Song. Soon there will be some real men post though that she is gay, the song is gay, or I am gay or a mixture of any of the above. You started the thread so you will be called gay also.

I see an OD in her future. I don't say it to be mean, but she has some issues. She's like Kat VonDee with a dash of Amy Winehouse, but cuter.

I don't mind tats, and have a few myself. But I agree with you.

Never get a tattoo that can't be covered with a T-shirt and shorts.

Just so long as she doesn't get infected with whatever is ravaging the mind of Lady Ga Ga.

Gorgeous voice.

Great sense of melody.

Absolutely HORRIBLE with metaphors. Listening to Jars of Hearts is PAINFUL!!!!! Some, well, just absolutely HORRIBLE lyrics.

They do have a tendency to go stark-raving, batshit bonkers when they "make it", don't they?

Spears, GaGa, Winehouse... hell, just about EVERY chick that hits it big loses their fucking mind.

when are men going to realize that the reason so many women wont do what a man wants in the bedroom is not because she does not want to... but because she thinks he will think she is a whore/skank...

you know comments like yours...

if you do not like tatoos fine.....but to call a person a name based on something that trivial...sad

yaaaAAAAWWWWWwwwwnnnnnn

Nothing new, nothing outstanding, whiney and shrill.

Typical radio crap pseudo-star.

Song and vocals are seriously mediocre at best.

+1 for not abusing Antares AutoTune, for a total score of 1/10

I'm not getting that.

But hey, what do I know?

Wow. BRB. Wetnap. Her voice is downright sexy.

Wow,I've been blaming Avril Lavigne for that song every time I hear it in the supermarket

I like my pop music catchy,happy and dancy rather than depressy.Give me Gaga and Ke$ha.

Video was distracting. Kept thinking I was watching a Beautiful Agony video, but with my pants on. Very confusing.

Not a bad voice though.

I agree. I saw that crap at her neckline and jumped out of the video.
I'm all done with her.

Heard a couple of her songs. She's talented, but from what I've heard, her music is mostly sappy love songs, or jilted lover songs.

And she has too many tattoos. Guess someone needs to make themselves special by what they do TO themselves rather than what they DO.

You are overly gracious in you assessment of her talent.

I don't think she has the pipes to pull that song off. It's not a bad song, though.

She's definitely all kinds of hot. Not wild about those particular tattoos.

Well I like girls with tattoos.

Some of the most beautiful women I know have some serious ink.

And they're the best people you could ever want to meet.

One of them just cut my hair, she has about a dozen tats. Big ones.

And she's my sister.

My wife listens to Sirus 10 "The Pulse" in her car.

Why I don't know, it's supposed to play whatever the cool kids are listening to these days. Neither of us are cool kids. Yet every time I get in her fucking car that shit is on. I hate like 90% of that shit.

Anyway tonight we were driving to dinner and she came on. I'd say that if she's on the Pulse, she's not about to break, she's already there.
I've been a fan ever since Compass introduced me to her.

yeah, she's already breaking. she was on heavy rotation last year at an NYC radio station...

I fucking love Tattoos, too bad this girls strategy was to put a bunch of small tattoos all over her body instead of having 2-3 dedicated pieces in discreet places. Oh well i would still hit it
