Chris Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Now just stop right there, I will not hear a bad word said against Katie Melua. (Unless it's about her shit cover of Lilac Wine)She looks nice but her lyrics are fucking gash.And based on bad science:Simon Singh: Katie Melua's bad science | Education | The Guardian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemonade Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 True, but to be fair she retracted "9 Million Bicycles" and fixed it:On September 30, 2005, an article appeared in The Guardian newspaper in which physicist Simon Singh humorously corrected the song's lyrics. Singh said that with the song Melua "demonstrates a deep ignorance of cosmology and no understanding of the scientific method", and objected to its second verse, where the song's protagonist "[contrasts] such guesswork with her own confidence in her blossoming long-term love":[4]We are 12 billion light-years from the edge, That's a guess no-one can ever say it's true, But I know that I will always be with you Singh interpreted the first lyric as a statement that the observable universe was twelve billion years old, which he said was incorrect; according to "the very latest data", the universe was actually 13.7 billion years old. He added, "the next line in the song is unforgivable. To say that the age of the universe is "a guess" is an insult to a century of astronomical progress. The age of the universe is not just "a guess", but rather it is a carefully measured number that is now known to a high degree of accuracy". He wrote replacement lyrics which he believed would, if used, remedy his concerns:[4]We are 13.7 billion light-years from the edge of the observable universe, that's a good estimate with well-defined error bars, Scientists say it's true, but acknowledge that it may be refined, and with the available information, I predict that I will always be with you Singh's statements received moderate coverage in the media, and led Batt to submit a response to The Guardian in which he defended his right to poetic license.[5] Melua agreed to re-record the song's second verse with Singh's proposed lyrics, though she said she encountered difficulty fitting in all of the syllables.[6] The revised version, which omitted the line "Scientists say it's true, but acknowledge that it may be refined", premiered on the radio show The Today Programme on October 15.[7] Melua said that she felt embarrassed by the error in the song, particularly given that she had been a member of her school's astronomy club. Singh himself later said he intended his article to be "to some extent ... tongue-in-cheek", but that he also wanted to defend principles in cosmology "that are on much firmer ground". He added that he believed his response to the song's lyrics had helped introduce cosmology to a wider audience and said that "the writing of the original article was probably the most productive hour of my career".[5]TBH her last album is pretty rubbish and does feature some truly awful lyrics, but it's the first blip on an otherwise impeccable musical career IMO.

Lemonade Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Katie Melua at her finest - Great song, amazing voice, great performance. Love it. This song isn't her best, but the video was filmed at the AECC. I know cos I was there. I'm in the crowd somewhere.YouTube - Katie Melua - Spider Web Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Not a fan....I wouldn't mind if she shuffled off this mortal coil and did some recording with Eva and Tupac in the great studio in the sky. Actually...maybe that's exactly what's happening in that photo.X-(*sorry to be so down on the poor girl......she doesn't deserve it!* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupot Posted September 14, 2008 Report Share Posted September 14, 2008 Sadly, she'd be unable to change the lyrics to 9 million bycycles as Mike "the fucking wombles" Batt wrote it.She still can't carry a tune in a bucket though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
