The Gossip - Heavy Cross

A new song from The Gossip's fourth album. Belting as you would expect from Beth and her fantastic voice. But reading through a few YT comments, gah for fuck's sake! All shit like "she's a fattie, but she has an amazing voice!!" Shut up halfwits, fat people are capable of more than just stuffing McDonalds you know...

Wow! That girl is just so amazing. And I have to say, I believe this is the best I've heard from the band (they've never quite seemed up to Beth's speed, IMO).

That said, she definitely leaves me with mixed feelings. From a purely auditory standpoint, she deserves all the success in the world, but like it or not, the real world won't let that be the only criteria (maybe not even the biggest). It's not so much that she's fat (although that's a definite strike against her chances of commercial success), as that in so many of their performances, she seems to go out of her way to be...the only word I can come up with is "repulsive". It's almost like she's trying hard to sabotage any hope of real commercial success. Maybe she is...or maybe I'm reading too much into a mindset I just don't share (punk attitudes, fashions, body mods and ink have never been appealing to me).

But lordy, that lady can sing.
