Yeah, I feel bad for whoever wrote the music to that song because it's good music. But the lyrics and her voice just kill me, haha. Stick to SOS, Rihanna =P

Vienna is wicked cool, Gina got me into her music a few years ago.  My favorite piano songs are Gravity, The Tower, and Lullaby for a Stormy Night

I seriously doubt it's a real piano, but "Unfaithful" by Rihanna. Her voice sounds horrible with ballads.


That SONG is just horrible. The lyrics are poorly written too. The tune is catchy, and that piano bit sounds good, but when my manager and I heard it the first time, we laughed & laughed. "I don't wanna be.... a MURDERAHHHHHHH!" hahaha

And Laura, don't be offended just because you like the song and I don't.


Lmao. That song is SO painful to listen to- at first i was like 'oh okay, this could be alright' but then i was overwhelmed by the immense whining that is Rhianna's voice.


Once again with the pain and disagreement and animosity and hate and I love it all...

It's not that it's bad because Rihanna can't sing, it's bad because Rihanna's voice doesn't match it at all. The music is very mellow, whereas Rihanna's voice is very . . . overwhelming...

Yeah, and that.

I totally forgot about Sarah. I love Sarah! She needs a new album out. But Five for Fighting isn't going to sell very well with their new album; his (for my purposes Five for Fighting is one person) new single has no hook whatsoever and bores the hell out of me.

No way.. I'm listening to her music for the first time right now cuz I heard "whatever you want" at promosquad a while ago & just saw your reply, how funny. I'm listening to the songs on her site & they are really good.

Also, not as well known by Allison Crowe has some good songs. I personally like her songs Midnight and Crayon and Ink. I don't know that many, but they're definitely piano driven.


ohh i really like her music. & they're downloadable too, yay lol thank you for that suggestion.

Alot of Ben Fold's songs (like philosophy, and Zak and Sara... omg that song hurts to play).


His songs are good, thanks. i downloaded all the ones i could find on limewire.

Maybe I'm a little late, but I have to suggest Aslyn.  And if I had to choose just one song by her, it would be an easy choice:  "Wally."

Songs don't usually make me cry, but this one does - almost every time!!  It's one of my all-time favorite songs & it's piano-driven.   :wink:

Kate Bush: This Woman's Work

Shakira: La Pared (Acoustic Version)

Kelly Clarkson: Beautiful Disaster (Live) - the version on her first album is crap, but the version off "Breakaway" is beautiful

^^ Yeah the version on Breakaway is really good! I agree, though I've never heard the other to compare.

I forgot to mention Marit Larsen before. She has a website and a myspace. She plays guitar and piano. The piano songs I can think of are called "Under the Surface" and "Solid Ground".
