Of all teh hype bands and singers this year, there are a couple that are missing key qualitites. While with bands like the Chapman Family, it's a case of missing talent (we really, really don't like them. Avoid! They're disgusting to even look at), with La Roux it's a case of not seeming very talkative, despite her really cool hair.
Having read our fair share of articles about her, and even interviews, she doesn't seem to say much or leave the oh-so-humble vibe or the really out there persona that female musicians give off to make them seem cool. I mean, how are we ever supposed to really know her if we can't lump her into either of those categories.
Then, during Channel 4's broadcast of the NME awards in the wee hours of the morning the other day, she performed on stage with Franz Ferdinand. Only she didn't go on stage with them for a while. Or say anything quippy. Or smile. She's no Little Boots by any stretch clearly :/
While FTCZ is pretty indifferent about celebrity, we do tend to be nicer to people who seem nice. Well...not really. But if you do come off as nice, we certainly can't fault you for it. I'm sure she'll come off a bit better as we get closer to her actually releasing an album, but in the meantime, we'll just have to make do with her really cool songs. Be sure to get a hold of some of 'em.
