Damhnait Doyle covers The Hip on her new album - sean.bonner - 04-13-2008

Looks as though Canadian singer Damhnait Doyle will have her own version of Bobcaygeon.

Should be interesting to hear, I've seen Damhnait once, and she has a very enjoyable voice.

I'll be sure to download that one.

Has anyone heard it?


- sean.bonner - 04-13-2008

Yes, its streaming on her website:

This can not end well.

Edit: It did not end well. That is the worst fucking cover I have heard all year. Her voice is okay but the way she enunciates annoys me. She's like Christina Aguilera: she has a good voice but she just doesn't know how to use it (and I'm not making this observation solely from the cover but also from three other songs I looked up on Youtube). Oh, and the arrangement she's singing over sounds like it was made with a trial version of Fruity Loops. That sucked.

It was okay. Not amazing but pretty good.

Train Wreck... Didn't even sound like she was singing, more like talking in a weird voice to a terrible music in the background.

In other words, I agree with screw_ball lol


- sean.bonner - 04-13-2008

I think I like it.

the bobcaygeon cover sucks ass.

The Train in Vein cover is pretty weird


- skippy the wonder dog - 04-13-2008

That's a less than inspired cover. I don't think the arrangement really suits the music.

And her singing is horribly affected, but it seems that's de rigeur these days if you're a female singer concerned for your street cred. Heaven forbid you could just frigging sing.

2 thumbs down for the Bobc cover


- Cookie.factory_West.Wind - 04-13-2008

Music arrangement turned me off. When she started singing I just closed the window.

Oh god stop the madness...keep to your own songs because your voice is not bad...Is BobCAJUN a spice? Tongue


- Bootlegger420 - 04-13-2008

Everlong is ok.....I guesss.

I recall an interview with Weird Al where he said that he can cover any song he wants without permission from the artist - although he always likes to get it - he just has to pay the proper fees & royalties directly to the song's copyright holder... so maybe The Hip didn't agree/disagree as they were never asked.
