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.

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

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.

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

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 think Glirdy would agree that I am more a Vanessa Carlton then a Paula Abdul. My singing voice is actually a bit like hers, and we have the same hair, and name for that matter.

Okay. I'm sure some will be recognized, and I'm sure a couple will be head scratchers.

TORE is Ben Folds... or perhaps the lead from Chevelle. You also bring to mind the leads from The Pax Cecilia, Phantom Planet, and Death Cab for Cutie.

Balin999 is Cory Heart.

Heren is Dave Matthews.

Lush is the lead from Eisley.

TGWBS is the lead from Florida Sessions.

Aimè is James Hetfield. Sometimes, though, he's the lead from The Fray.

Wilwa is Gwen Stefani.

Anguirel
is, I suppose, Howie Day.

Diamond18 is Joss Stone.

the phantom is inexplicably tied to the band OK Go. Like as not, he doesn't even know why.

The Barrow-Wight is whoever was singing the part of The Phantom when I saw The Phantom of the Opera on Broadway. He speaks or sings and you betcha we listen. What, Sir Phantom? You have a lair? And you're singing Music of the Night? Sure I'll come with you, most especially if you give me a PT for it.

Mister Underhill came to mind for no apparent reason while I was listening to Jesse L. Martin sing. Now he's stuck there. Sorry, 'Hillo, but you're currently singing about opening up a restaurant in Sante Fe.

Formy is Umberto Tozzi.

And no, I'm not musically prejudiced... I just think of girls as having similar voices to me. Guys don't get that luxury, so I have to come up with something else.

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.

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...

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.)

Shield

Franz Ferdinand? To step into my elitist shoes for a moment, I did see them before they were famous. £5 to get in.

I am a good singer.

I tend to imagine Barrowdowners as whistlers as opposed to singers.

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.
