JennyHallu · 04-05-2006, 11:31 AM

You listen to a total of five female artists, then. That's...um...

SEXIST! YOU ARE MUSICALLY SEXIST!

Oddwen · 04-05-2006, 11:43 AM

I actually don't even listen to those female artists. I guess I just like men a lot.

Uh, the one female artist I actually do listen to...

Firefoot is Amy Lee (Evanescence)

JennyHallu · 04-05-2006, 11:49 AM

I bet you only listen to Evanescence because the rest of the band members are male.

Funnily enough, I sometimes think of particular singers when I think of some Downers!

No no no noooo. MORE.

*sings in really sinister voice*

I’ll be the one to protect you from your enemies and all your demons
I'll be the one to protect you from a will to survive and a voice of reason
I'll be the one to protect you from your enemies and your choices son
They're one and the same, I must isolate you, isolate and save you from yourself.

Heh heh. I just think, from my experience, he makes a really creepy Seer.

Oh, and Eomer is totally that guy from Franz Ferdinand.

I know the profiles fit, 'cuz I made them up today
Typing and giggling
Fun with iTunes shuffling

The parody that comes from the pairing of between
The Barrowdowners is worth it
Find the humor in everything

Cold barrows have
A tendency to
Augment our crazy
Senses of humor

Saucie is Frank Sinatra
Saucie is Frank Sinatra

With apologies from Mormegil James Keenan.

Diamond18 · 04-05-2006, 05:51 PM

Well I'm gonna try and do some female singers. Strangely it's easy for me to hear Downers as singers... even though as I said before I don't really consciously assign them voices when I read.

Anyway:

Lush is the chick from the Dresden Dolls or Gwen Stefani

Estelyn Telcontar is Loreena McKennitt

Fea is Anna Nalick

Bethberry is Mama Cass (think Dream a Little Dream)

Pio is Carole King

Child of the 7th Age is June Carter or Bonnie Raitt

JennyHallu is Kelly Clarkson

Kath is Charlotte Church

Valier is Hilary Duff

Meela is Amy Lee

Lalwende is Norah Jones

Thinlomien is Joss Stone

Wilwa is Paula Abduhl

Kitanna is Sheryl Crow

Celuian is Sarah McLaughlin

I was completely lost until I googled her and then I was pretty chill with the choice.

Everyone else... you're picking artists I only know vaguely! Then again.... if I started "band"ing people, you'd be lost, I'm sure.

Lhunardawen · 04-05-2006, 07:06 PM

Oddwen, was that one for each of Nilp's alter-egos? If so, you didn't specify which is which.

Nope. Alcarillo is.

You, Estel, on the other hand, are Mike Shinoda. I wonder why.

Good, beause it was a compliment, really.

I love her music, and I've seen her live in concert and your personalities kind of... mesh.

I.... am?

No.

Mithalwen is Frederica von Stade. I think it's because of her warning to Gilrdan Magic Flute signature from the first Survivor thread, and I associate von Stade with Mozart operas. Even though I know the Queen of the Night isn't a mezzo-soprano role.

LMP has a rolling baritone voice and a deep belly laugh.

The Phantom sounds like an eerie whisper most of the time, but every now and then, he's Boris Karloff.

Must be those eyes in his avatar.

And Glirdy definitely has a high-pitched voice.

Glirdan · 04-06-2006, 08:39 PM

Quote:

Glirdan: Brandon Flowers from The Killers (yes, I know his name for a change!)

I wish!!

You know Diamond, I kind of picture you with an Avril Lavigne or Celine Dion voice.

Well Celuien, you're actually not to far off the mark with that...

Diamond18 · 04-06-2006, 10:28 PM

Glird, I'll take the Avril Lavigne part as a compliment and pretend the other one just didn't happen.

(Not that her voice is bad, I just am not that fond of her songs.)

.

wow ... I can't aspire to F " in alt " I used to have to be having a very good day to get above the stave at all but with age the voice has gone higher rather than bigger so I can manage mezzo - but not like F von S (I wish). If I could have chosen any career it would have been opera singer but alas I have all of the temperament (the Queen of the Night moments are genuine!) and none of the talent

. I can sing a bit but to have "a voice" is such a gift. I sang in a concert with professional orchestra and soloists once at La Madeleine and it was just the most amazing buzz.

Fea is Lissa Schneckenburger.
