Anyone else here like Holly Valance?

I know some of you are a bit critical of her, but I like a lot of her songs... "Naughty Girl" is still my favorite. It's just got a good vibe to it, and a good video too.

Yeah,

I even saw her live once at a free festival here in Leicester. I don't like any of her songs, but I thought she rocked in Neighbours  8) (She'll always be Flick in my eyes, lol)

P.S. If anybody doesn't understand what I mean by Neighbours or Flick, I guess it means you don't get that show in the states.

some artists just dont translate that well live. *cough*Avril*cough* but you can still enjoy their studio work.
And since we're neighborless in the states, I dont have that to base it off of.

NO NO NO! I can't believe you even made this thread, because she's not even a musician. She is appauling and exemplifies everything that is wrong with the music industry.

She cannot even sing Naughty Girl live (let alone anything else), which is how many notes? Oh ermmm, THREE! I must admit, Naughty Girl isn't a bad song- but that has no reflection on her whatsoever, because she had nothing to do with the creation of it.  She dresses up in short skirts and bikini tops and gets to number one that way- and you made a thread for her?

Yes I made a thread for her! She's not the only person to get to the top with bikini tops and short skirts. I'm sure you hate Britney too, oh well.

Bad news for Holly :( she is being sued by her old manager for millions of dollars because she sacked him.
I really like Hollys personality and its not entirely her fault thats she has been in all of those "men's" magazines.
Apparently is was her old manager's fault because he wanted to "stick a fire cracker up the English butts and make them take notice of her". So she fired him.

Also it was Scott (ex manager) who organised the "Kiss Kiss" video and all of her other raunchy clips.

He just wanted to shock everyone by taking Holly's school girl image as Felicity and turn it into a sexy young woman.

You might remember Scott Michaelson from Neighbours he played Brad Willis (http://www.bbc.co.uk/neighbours/whoswho/characterbiogs/contentimages/char_port_bradwillis.jpg)

So yeh I like Holly, maybe not for her music but she seems ok.
Oh but I didnt like how she took a stab at Kim Valentine Grrrrrr!

Lol, Britney can actually sing though- Holly cannot. And i don't doubt that Holly's a nice girl, its just that she's a figurehead for a lot that i hate in the music industry.

Easily. On the rare occasion that she sings live, she is always out of tune.

Kevin could send u a song holls, if thats ok with him of course.

Im just sticking up for her because shes Australian, but i think she can sing.
Its not the most powerful voice but its listenable.
Well thats what i think.

She's an artist, you can respect her for the fact she sells records and makes money that way- i don't respect her for her singing. I think really its not her fault at all, like you said, its just all these other people pulling the strings.

Thats cool Holly!!!!
 :D

Yep i agree with you Rosie, she probably was to young to understand what was going on.
Its all about the image  :?

I think Kiss Kiss went to number one here, infact i think she beat Kylie.
Oh i hope so, kylie is just  :roll:  uck.

I was actually talking about her studio work. Nobody sounded good at that live show, the sound was terrible, everybody in the crowd was blowing whistles and airhorns constantly (Why?!). In fact, it was one of the worst days of my life. lol

I'm inclined to agree with Rosie to some extent. I think she's a victim of the music industry machine. IMHO The music doesn't deserve the success it's had for how good it is alone. The success has come from other things that I believe should not contribute to an artist's success. So I guess I don't like her music partly on principle. I also think that, like a lot of pop music, it's overly simplistic, devoid of any feeling or emotion (probably because the actual song writing is completely detached from the artist) and so is very forgettable. But that's only my view and I'm not an authority on these things. If people like her music, who am I to stop them?
