Karen Elson for Woman of the Year
Seriously, I don’t know how Karen Elson does it. She puts up with Jack White’s mad crazy genius antics, she’s an established singer and cabaret performer, she’s got that “supermodel” gig going for her, she’s going to be a mommy, and now on top of that she’s had the nerves of steel to stomach doing a collaboration with the unpredictable Cat Power.
Check out Karen and Chan’s lovely (but slightly less orgasmic-sounding) version English-language version of the 1969 Serge Gainsbourg (featuring Jane Birkin) classic, “Je T’aime…Moi Non Plus” right here:

It comes off of the Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited cover album featuring other top-name acts like Franz Ferdinand, Placebo (DOWNLOAD: “Ballad of Melody Nelson”), and The Kills. It comes out on the 27th of Feb on French label Barclay Records.

i fuck jack white is dick about 13 inch
Karen who?
Chan Marshall has a nice voice but can’t sing in tune to save her soul. Seriously, if I was gonna use the term “genius”, I’d better be referring to a person who is truly excellent at her craft. Chan Marshall is not.
I guess the Dylan comparisons are valid in that Chan mumbles and can’t really sing. Also, her personality is supposed to somehow make her music better. Yeah. You’re a “singer”? Try hitting those “notes” you hear people talking about.
Making your insecurities into everybody else’s problem? Super-professional. The very MODEL of competency. Get real, people. Charisma is only rarely a substitute for talent. the Ramones could pull it off. The Sex Pistols, Bob Dylan, King Tubby, Al Jourgensen, Gibby Haynes - these people CAN get by on chutzpah and sheer balls, because they’re awesome. Cat Power? PLEASE.
