Feist Vs. Regina

[Prometheon]

Which attractive female indie singer has your heart?

 

I'm going to go with Regina, because she makes a lot of her music with just herself (piano+vocals). Also, while Feist has a higher ratio of quality-to-crap, when Regina makes a good song, it's GOOD.

[Computer]

Feist, because anything she touches is gold... so far anyway.

[Prometheon]

Yeah, I checked out the rest of her albums and have been listening to them on shuffle for the whole day. Great stuff.

[Moonlight_Graham]

i just can't choose. Regina had a one really crappy album. But both ladies r awesome.

[borntohula]

regina seemed to be good early on, but has since released some really mediocre stuff. feist seems more consistent, but half the songs on the reminder were written at the time of let it die, so its a bit too early to tell how consistent she is at this point.

 

i'm going with feist though. regina does write some unique stuff, but i tend to like feist's a bit more. again, consistency. but neither of them really have a solid place in my heart.

 

cat power on the other hand...

[Crusader]

My choice was obvious.

[AnOceanPearl]

I only have one album by each: Begin to Hope by Regina and Let it Die by Feist, and I prefer Begin to Hope by far. Regina's voice is killer.

[Prometheon]

Begin to Hope is probably her best. Good call.

 

I don't see your vote though. Make this a little closer! hahaha

[AnOceanPearl]

I really have to be in the mood to listen to either of them, but Regina won my heart with Samson, and she's just bubbly and adorable.

[mrs jesus]

feist, duh. samson MIGHT be one of the cutest songs i have ever heard though.

[Crusader]

samson is a fantastic song. thanks for reminding me.

[Prometheon]

Samson is definitely in my top 5 favourite songs of all time. Some ineffable quality about it...I can listen to it over and over.

 

If Regina didn't make that song, there's a chance my vote would be different on that alone. The thing about Regina is that a lot of her best stuff is not on her albums. The woman has a shitload of b-sides. Youtube "Pound of Flesh" for one of her best songs.

 

Edit: here it is.

 

 

Edit again: Hmm, the youtube code doesn't seem to work.

yeah, still working on that...

[Shiri]

Regina all the way. To be honest, I don't really like Fiest, I checked out her album but didn't like it.

[Gomo]

I just discovered Regina Spektor in the last few months (thank you last.fm!).

 

I don't have any of her albums yet, but I firmly intend to get Begin To Hope at the very least.

 

I like Feist too, but considering Regina lived in New York City for a long time I'm inclined to go for her. And plus she's just much much cuter and I wish I was her man.

 

:b

 

And that pound the flesh song is fucking good.

[Morglor9]

Regina. Though I enjoy Feist, I know more material by Regina and can say that I quite like all of it.

[little miss sunshine]

I have never heard of this "regina" so whenever I see this thread, I think fiest is fighting a city.

I confuse Regina Spektor with Tori Amos, which probably shows how little I know about either.

 

I tried Let It Die but never really got into it.

 

Catchy Ipod jingle ftw then...

[Gomo]

I just bought Soviet Kitsch and Begin to Hope. Lovin' it.

[Prometheon]

It just occured to me that I should have included Emily Haines in this poll. Would have been a tad more interesting with 3 competitors.

[LonelyWreckage]

Doubt it'd help my options much.
