Top 7 Albums of 2002

[cloudimani]

interesting how critics believe she can be ireland's answer to kylie minogue

im not sure what those people are thinking

for one gemma's music sounds more like coldplay's

that and ive never seen kylie hold a guitar before

still gemma's got some stiff competition to rise to musical prominence in her own homeland

when youre from a country which have had acts like U2, Thin Lizzy, The Cranberries, Van Morrison and even the Corrs its a fair mountain to climb

yeah, not sure where that came from either, people seem to see a pretty face and make assumptions...

I think Gemma maybe has some more folky, country influences in her music than coldplay, its a little more subtle at times

I think she has a lot more depth musically than the Corrs (though I like them), but I'm not sure she'll ever eclipse them in terms of popularity, or record sales. I dont think she'll ever be huge, I dont think she appeals to the masses, not helped by poor radio support in the UK. She's more to likely to attract and retain a core fan-base, hopefully it will be large enough to keep her making music, as she's such a talent really.
