Love the voice.
THe politics are typical for an entertainer so I really dont lose much sleep over them. The song Candy verybody Wants ought to be the Obamabot national anthem. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dd4ghQ2dNa8 |

Grating? She has one of the prettiest, most soothing voices I've heard. |

She has a couple of songs I like.
P!nk has a lot more, and she's at least as big of a moonbat. (P!nk would be much more fun in the sack, though. She's insane far beyond just being a liberal... and crazy chicks are best in the sack.) |

I'm with the OP. I enjoy her style. I don't know what she looks like now, but 20 years ago I would have banged the shit out of her. She doesn't have to be a super model to be sexy.
No range? You're a boob. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l4pE9-_gL88 |

In My Tribe. good stuff. i guess my man card would suffer if folks knew that during undergrad (1986-1991) i think i saw 10K maniacs at least 25 times. i went to see them everywhere they played on the East Coast, and i can recall them at the Mann Music Center in PhilaPA, on campus at Colgate Univ in Hamilton NY, even the Count Basie Theatre in Red Bank NJ (go Clerks!). hold it, let me go find the ticket stubs... ar-jedi |

Guilty. My wife, when I first met her back in college, looked a bit like her
 and danced like her, too. I never slipped and called her "Natalie", though  I wish she was a libertarian or conservative, though (both wife and Natalie). |

Glad I don't know anything about her politics. ha I like some of her music as a whole, not that she is a great singer. It's the sound. Willie Nelson can't sing either but his music has a good sound to it and his particular vocal quality adds to it. Just my take.

A lot of the hippy-dippy 10K Maniacs stuff was really good, and some of her solo work is good. She sometimes tries to be a torch singer, though, and just cannot pull that off. When she tries it she deepens her voice, slows it down, and it comes out as lumbering. She did a passable "Because the Night" with the 10K:
But it seems a bit antiseptic and slight for a song about the intersection of lust and love. It can't compare with Patti Smith: The original Patti Smith version, circa 1977. You can believe in the sickness and lust in this one, though some Springsteen bombast comes through too heavily: |

I think NM has a softer more feminine thing which I like. I like them both. |

Young FiveO (late 80s) thought of her as the ideal woman. Hip, beautiful, "alternative" and the voice of a goddess...
Older FiveO still likes her voice when singing and to a lesser extent the way she looks while doing it. Sadly what she has to say is enough to make me cringe... My wife who had and has the same music tastes as I calls "Trouble Me" "our song." So, to the OP, I say "Hell yeah!" |

I'm hardly a fanboy, but I liked her 10,000 Maniacs stuff and have a couple of CD's from my college days in the late 80's. It's hard for me to get worked up about her politics. Libtard entertainers are mostly harmless, anyway.
