Marina & The Diamonds!!

I stumbled upon Marina a couple of months ago and have progressively fallen in love.





Does anyone else like her?

I really like her song Hollywood but I didn't listen to her other songs that much..
It's funny because my mum is Polish and I always smile when I listen to that song

I think she has an interesting musical style is and I'm excited to see where she goes with it. The Family Jewels was a fine start, but I think she has a lot of potential

I really love "Hollywood" so much! have to admit that it's her only song I know so far but her voice is very catchy My favorite part of the song is

"Oh my god, you look just like Shakira
No no, you’re Catherine Zeta"
Actually, my name’s Marina

Your mind is just like mine
All filled up with things benign
You’re looking for the golden light


EDIT: Uuuh, OH NO! is so funny and catchy as well!

I really love Marina! She's very nice person in rl (as i saw some interviews and other videos) i think. Her music is fresh in pop, she's very unique. And SO pretty!

I saw this thread, clicked on "Oh No!", and got hooked. O.o

I think that's the catchiest song on her album, though. However, I like her theme, it's very playful.

i've never heard of her before...

but i clicked on the thread because i think the name "Marina & The Diamonds" is really interesting. I've gotta say, I think I really like her. She's really fun and catchy. I can't believe how 80's Shampain sounds! Its fabulous.

i need to look up some info on her...i'm interested in knowing where she is from. her voice is really unique and i love how low it goes and her accent. its really a very cool combo.

EDIT:

i love it!

ok, so i had to come back and say that i'm really falling in love with marina & the diamonds! she is really freaking great.

i looooove "oh no!" its so damn fun.

i wish i could upload the album for people at AHS, but i believe its been released in the USA and it wouldn't be allowed.
