That certain "je ne sais quois" Phase II: Natalie Merchant

I've always thought that people "get" Natalie or they don't. I've never met anyone in the gray area..."I like some of her stuff"...it's always "yea" or "nay."

I think she's great...and she definitely has that certain "je ne sais quois"...

2. You got that right

I've always thought she was awesome. I saw her with the maniacs in 89, wow was she great.

3. Sorry, but ...

I just like some of her stuff.
Not all of her stuff, just some of it.

I know you'll ask me to expand on that, but I really can't. I just like some of it.

Do forgive me for breaking your theory.

4. Wonderful on-stage...

...but I've been told by two independent sources that she is a big-time prima donna off-stage.

Still, I love her music.

10. Well, I was her yoga partner on Kauai at this class that was

held out in Waimaia and I didn't even know who she was until after the class was over when I found out from the cafe that I worked for...and there were no prima donna antics from Natalie.

5. She's wonderful.

My next mission is to see her live someday. I get to see Sarah McLachlan next week who's another one of my favorite singer/songwriters, so for that I'm psyched.

12. I've said it before on DU, and I will say it again,

She is great! I have listened to here from the first days of 10,000 Maniacs. Many of her CDs have been fixtures in my CD players.
