Title: Maria Mena
Post by: Vultch on May 13, 2004, 09:37:02 pm: I love her debut English single "You're The Only One". Kinda has an Alanis-when-not-pissed-off feel to it.

You can check her craptastic official site.

Hopefully a better one will come along soon.

Post by: Holly on June 09, 2004, 10:41:28 am: Is she actually singing in that song? haha, it just seems like she's talking fast.
When I first heard it I thought Alanis Morrisette had done a bad song.

Post by: rosieposy87 on June 09, 2004, 11:26:31 am: I am LOVING this girl! Ugly, Blame it on Me, and Fragile are my favourite songs at the moment- she takes a while to get into, cos she can sound a bit out of tune- but its just a distinct style and i LOOOOVE it!

Post by: LimeTwister on June 09, 2004, 11:53:28 am: heard it on the way to work...I didn't like it.

She isn't singing, and when she was it didn't sound that great.

'you're the only one' really isn't great in my opinion- but all the others are great.

Post by: CheapandEvilgrl on June 19, 2004, 08:34:37 pm: her voice is definitely weird. Takes away from my liking of the song.
but perhaps ill check out the others.

Post by: Laura on June 21, 2004, 08:18:45 pm: I saw the music video today on Nogin. And wow... she was REALLY out of tune in my opinion. The song is catchy in some parts, but heck I think Britney Spears can sing more in tune than she can lol. And she reminds me of Bjork in the video... which is creepy.

I saw the video today. That is kinda what I thought, Alanis wannabe and was turned off.

She kinda does look like Bjork in a where's Waldo outfit. Haha.

I would have to hear more, but so far not a fan.

Post by: Alecs on June 28, 2004, 03:31:09 pm: I saw the video last night for the 1st time and liked it! I was pissed when they didn't say who it was at the end of the video. So last night Let was asking me if this is who I was talking about and it is I think.

When I first heard it I thought Alanis Morrisette had done a bad song.

My thoughts too... I think she sings the phrase "You're the only one who" and that's it... I wouldn't call it sing, I'd call it fast talking. She might impress me if she sings in her other songs, and not talk. I think she was trying for an Alanis thing, but it didn't work (in my opinion). Oh well...

Post by: Alecs on July 25, 2004, 07:11:37 am: I finally picked her cd up yesterday and I love it! I can already tell that this will be one of those cd's that I play so much that I annoy everyone else. :oops:

I think "Fragile/Free" is my fave tune on the cd so far. Turn it up really loud while driving down the highway with your windows down at night! It's perfect! :D

Title: Maria Mena
Post by: czarina on September 12, 2004, 03:05:36 pm: I saw her live with Hanson and was so embarassed I almost had to leave. She was WILDLY offkey the entire time. She stood in one little place and shrieked wildly offkey and god it was more horrible than I ever could have imagined. NO ONE was cheering for her and people were even leaving/wincing at how horribe she sounded. I kind of felt bad because...well...at least she is trying even if she sucks, right? So I gave her some pity claps.

I love her and have almost burned myself out on her cd because I have listened to it about 300 times, no shit.
I love her voice and personality. 8)

If thats some jab that you think I disliked her performance because she opened for Hanson, thats quite ridiculous and immature. I am not an insane Hanson fan. I liked M2M who also opened for Hanson...and ...**gasp** dated them as well.
Maria just sounded like an offkey banshee. From a technical standpoint, she was offkey. She resorted to belting it out from her chest which made it sound worse.
Maybe she just had a horrible night...but she was extremely, extremely unimpressive. Almost unlistenable.

She looked really cute. But to me looks do not matter much :p
