Brandi Carlile is so overrated

Isn't she by birth authentically white trash?

Gee, Howard's really come up in the world. No more throwing lunch meat at stripper's pussies?

R2 he’s vouched for now by a lesbian or maybe “queer birthing person” and staunch capitalist feminist like Miss Brandi.

She’s so pretentious. And yes R1

With a name like Brandi, do you have to ask?

"The industry people all kiss her ass."

Like who?

100% agree, OP.

R6 The industry people

R6 if you’re so out of the loop you don’t know, I’m not going to put together a comprehensive list for you.

R8 Oh yeah, those industry people. Always going on and on about her.

R9 In other words, you are full of shit. Thank you. I thought so.

Why do the Twitter A-Gays LOVE her?

Never heard of her. Is she a lesbyterian?

R6 Carlile has received nine Grammy awards, from 25 nominations. She is the first female songwriter to receive two Grammy nominations for Song of the Year in the same year, and the first time that any songwriter or songwriting team was nominated for Song of the Year twice in the same year since 1994.

Those fucking industry people. You stupid fucking idiot.

R13 yes, she’s Lebanese.

R12 Bohemian clout. They’re listening to Dua Lipa though.

Wow, whole 9 awards out of 25 nominations since 2994. They must truly adore her.

P.S. Beyonce won 32 awards out of 88 nominations, Eminem won15 out 43, and so on...

Her mouth gets on my nerves - forceps baby, obviously

R17 all those even out to about 35% wins of nominations

Who is the defensive bullDyke at R17 ?

Jesus christ...so glad I don't follow current music. Dua Lipa? What the fuck? That sounds like some hideous medical condition. Whoever it is has bad handlers who should have changed its name.

2994?

R19 Yeah, but she's an genius compared to those two, so...it doesn't really evens out

R23 is trying to summon the unhinged Beyhive to this thread.

Who's the unfunny, unoriginal sissy lesbophobe at R20?

R25 go open an air freshener, you know the Starkist can?

^ this is one of the lamest jokes I've ever heard. Are you 13?

I fully agree.

And her obsession with Joni Mitchell is out of control.

R28 she thinks she is the next coming of Joni. Delusional.

R27 here’s another:

Why don’t lesbians have sex in the morning?

You ever try to pry open a cold grilled cheese sandwich?

She won’t leave Joni Mitchell alone. It’s perverse.

Brandi is the best musician and we just love her so very much. She has the perfect tone, and pitch. Best singer in the world.

OP, is Brandi’s ex.

She has a beautiful voice. Technically pure, clear, perfect pitch. She is 5% cringe and 95% heroic in her worship of Joni. If you're going to worship a songwriter, why not Joni?

Her own songs are pretty uneven.... but some are outstanding.

She's an interesting "stylist"... I like to hear her cover good songs. Here she is (with a very intentional and succcessful vibrato) covering Bonnie Rait.

R34 that was ok, now this ⬇️ is perfection.

Ahem.

Ok, Ok, let's not get carried away....

There really was something special about Bonnie's version.

Two songs she's had that hit very hard in that way - this one and the one she won a Grammy for this year.

This is very interesting.

R39 Thanks. I am a big Bonnie Rait fan, and I thought she wrote it. She sings it with everything she's got.

My brain totally read the title as Belinda Carlisle. WHET Belinda?

R41 should we start a down the shitter thread?

[quote] WHET Belinda?

Still a cunt.

Now with bad plastic surgery.

Of all the singers in today's to declare as overrated, Brandi Carlile is the last one to fit such a description. She is easily as talented as critics and fans alike say she is. As for her devotion to Joni, it's just more evidence she has great taste in music. Yes, she fawns over her at times, but that is because she's a true longtime fan.

R30 What do I have to do with lesbians, you dumb fuck? Also, that "joke" is something a 15 year old would find funny.

Can we purge the humorless, militant lezzies from the thread?

Love Brandi. HBO debuted her concert special, "In the Canyon Haze - Live from Laurel Canyon" two days ago. Live on tape (it was originally broadcast live to IMAX theaters) in somebody's backyard, high up in the canyon as dusk settles over LA. It was great.

I would fawn over Joni, too.

Brandi’s voice doesn’t appeal to me. It’s technically good but something’s missing. There is no soul or humor in her voice. It makes all of her songs sound the same.

She’s an incredible songwriter. Written and performed some of my favourite songs over the last 15 years. Some people dislike her but they usually had early blunt force trauma to the head as a child. Very sad.

Her voice sounds like if a medium-thick piece of cellophane came to life and started chain smoking, dancing and singing.

I find her fame so puzzling

She might hit some notes here and there, but her voice is ugly. There is no soul, because she tries to affect a moodiness. Anyone who thinks her voice has technical proficiency should retake their music classes.

I’ve seen her in concert a few times. She’s really a good performer. I didn’t know any of her songs the first time and she won me over. Always seems like she’s having a great time in stage.

Not sure what all the DL hate for her is about. She’s very talented and seems like a good person.

My dad has been a musician for most of his life and he absolutely loves her, enough that he dragged himself out of the house once (a rare occurrence) to see her live. She has certainly gotten a lot more famous in the last 5-10 years. From the late 2000s through most of the 2010s, the only thing she was really known for (at least to my knowledge) was that song "The Story", which got massive airplay, though I always (perhaps incorrectly) was under the assumption that she was a one-hit wonder.

She has really managed to climb the ranks in the last few years. I saw that she was featured on Miley Cyrus's New Year's Eve TV special which was a real "WTF moment"—I had to do a double-take. She also recently performed with Joni Mitchell, which is a huge deal.

She loves music and definitely enjoys performing, but there is a soulless nature to her stuff, especially her later output. She’s definitely been changed by the fame and she’s a mega name dropper with a starfucker attitude. She just comes across as inauthentic, the glitz of fame doesn’t wear well on her, like it does say an Elton John.

As everyone else has said she lacks soul. She trieds to affect it but doesn't work, her voice is bland and she looks silly

She has that jittery, insecure lesbian who tries to feign confidence vibe. She doesn’t have swagger like KD Lang or Melissa Etheridge.

Caterwauling.

I don't find her music catchy, it's zero fun.

She tries to do the melisma thing but it just sounds like a mockingbird having a seizure.

Brandi Carlile put Tanya Tucker in the Country Music Hall of Fame.

For that alone, I love her.

R61 hardly.

I saw her in concert once years ago. Her voice was fine, she seemed nice enough, and the songs were pleasant. Her banter between songs, however, was grating as all hell. Nonstop mommy chatter about all the “hilarious” things her kids say and do.

I can see why women with children enjoy her. After that concert, I’d had sufficient.
