Oh, did we finally get KING to show something? I knew we could do it, now it's time to turn the troll, turn him and prevent the rise of his ally, the BLACK SQUIRREL!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry KING, had to do it.

How sweet of you to think of me
Metal isn't really a hard-and-fast requirement. I'm certainly not a fan of only metal, and would never say I like all types of metal because there is some that I cannot abide. A beautiful voice is definitely one of the things I look for in much of my music. Of course, 'beautiful' can be subjective. A lot of extremely talented vocalists happen to front symphonic metal bands with a soaring sound, so I happen to be a fan. However, there are a lot of popular and even talented vocalists who I find to be grating. They can hit me as too high-pitched, nasal, whiny, screechy, growly, screamy, guttural, squeaky, or something else that just acts as a sonic drill on my brain.
Leigh Bingham Nash is obviously not tone-deaf or in any way a terrible singer, but her tones and pitch aren't particularly to my liking. Unlike some artists that I immediately need to switch off, I can listen to a Sixpence None the Richer song all or most of the way through, but I've never had a desire to then hear more of them, so I never pursued their work beyond the radio.
There is definitely a Nickelback song called 'Savin Me' that is pretty emotional, though that particular one hasn't moved me to tears.

Oh well... Just to clarify: You have you listened to her on songs from This Beautiful Mess, right? I never really got in to their other albums, but on that one, she sounded differently to me, and the band had a much more alternative/rock feel (which, I tend to prefer).

Anyways, Happy New Year!
