On Similarities (Whinehouse --> Apple; Tunstall --> Cole)

Over YM, I told Gen that Amy Whinehouse has similarities to Paulo Cole. It was a mistake. I could not remember who wrote and sang "Extraordinary Machine." So scoured my winamp and listened to this song again. No, Whinehouse is not like Cole. Her style is like Fiona Apple. But Gen pointed out that Whinehouse style is completely different from Fiona Apple. It could be one of her songs sounds like, or styled like Apple's extraordinary machine. Everytime I hear her "Tears Dry on Their Own," it reminds me of Apple's "Extraordinary Machine."

Gen also suggested that I should also listen to KT Tunstall.

Went to youtube and checked her songs. I listened to "Black Horse and The Cherry Tree."

Voila! It sounds like "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?" of Paulo Cole. Now, KT Tunstall has similarities to Paulo Cole in some aspects.

I could be wrong. Nevertheless, they are, Amy Whinehouse and KT Tunstall, good additions to my list.

Maybe it is time for me to go out from my standard list. But please don't expect me listening to Britney Spears.
