It's interesting how women with dynamic voices come in for more criticism than men. Or do they? I can't think of many male voices that irritate people as much as, say, Bjork does a lot of people.

It's nothing to do with the fact that they are female for me, because like it's been pointed out on this thread already, there are just as many male singers, if not more, whose voices make me want to eat rusty nails. CocoRosie aren't talented, and, to match, they have terrible voices.

I much prefer full on weird women than this pale, girly imitation of female otherness. They're on the same level as Avril Lavigne for me, attention seekers who would get frightened immediately if someone turned the lights off for real.
