I had the top marks in French in high school! ;) ..but I
never quite mastered conversational french.

I DL'd the files and watched them later on my TV. The DL'd
version does not have those subtitles.
WvV> I think it's about a woman who is love sick.
Noted.

Sure! You know what to do. ;)

Ah.. interesting.

OK.. a lil'bit better. But the music was a more significant
element. She spent a lot of time just seemingly brooding over
the music as the musicians were playing.
WvV> Or this duet:

WvV> And tell me you still don't like her singing? ;-)
Ah.. definately a song about 2 love-sick or love-smitten
females?
I'm still not quite convinced that she is a great singer. She
definitely has talent and conviction, but.. something is still
missing.
One Canadian rock/pop singer that made a fairly big splash
during the last 80's is Luba. The voice is baritone, but
powerful.
Check out this live performance of one her hits:

I'll have to did up some other fine female singers that you may
not have heard but might enjoy.
