Yeah, trust the Americans to turn something so banal into...

A bloke!!

This is quirky.

He's a rubbish singer.

Can hold a tune but has no timbre, cadence or charisma whatsoever.

Backing singer seems to think he's on Take 5.

I think it's just what we'd call chews/penny chews.

Isn't Taffy a brand of American sweets caandy?

Actually that album could have done with more intrusions like that.

This is more like it!

It is over.

It was inoffensive but lacked the variety I require. Also, I noticed she avoided going for the really big notes.

Now to look back at the thread and see what everybody else made of it.

Anyway, ovr.

Good grief!

What is this violent, carnivalesque grotesquery?

I shall give it 3 stars.

Well, it was okay. She has a nice voice and the production was crisp, if a little dated. It all became a bit samey part way through but the last track kind of helped it pick back up again. Nice that most of the songs were new - to me.

3/5

It was fine, but just well, a bit dull, even if it was only 32 minutes long.

Maybe, but I don't think that when Americans in general would call taffy per se.

This whole 'taffy pulling' malarky is like an ancient (200 years old) cultural cornerstone to them.
