Thread Name: Is Eliza Carthy really that good?
Subject: RE: Is Eliza Carthy really that good?
one of my favourite things about Eliza's singing is that she doesn't go in for that pretty, head-voice delivery so many young female English singers prefer. Her voice is rich, colourful, ballsy, passionate - and technically sound.

The other thing that's interesting to observe over her career is how much her voice has strengthened and matured. Her voice has lowered over time, as she's got older, but it's also picked up a lot of power.
