Free Music Review: rebuttal to love frog mindy
Hit: 5 Stars
it really is amusing how some folks talk about artists like flavors of ice cream. what is so wrong about love frog mindy's review here is that she forgot to check her ego at the door. she calls jonatha brooke's vocals, whinney. i believe it would be more of a singing technique. you know, kind of adds dramatic effect to lyrics. if she wants to hear full-out bird chirps, listen to mariah carey.
she goes on and compares jonatha to britney. that is the bit that really stirred my ire. this is like comparing a generic grocery store soda brand, the kind that contains about a million grams of suger with some carbonated water thrown in, with fresh spring water. they cannot be compared. simple as that. do some research froggy, the simple fact that jonatha went to college (amherst) makes her worlds apart from brittney. i won't go any futher as froggy would never understand.
she tries to state something about tones, changes of keys, etc. like she knows something musical. they sound weird to froggy's ear cuz she has never heard anything not presented in the key of E with the standard D-C-G chord prgression. check out the pages on jonatha's website about her tunings, self-recording, running her own record label etc. then talk.
finally, she says jonatha brooke needs polishing. does a bear need a hair cut?!!! both statements are the same cuz they make no sense. froggy, stick to the idigo girls, where the beats are a nice 4/4, and the chords are major (with the occasional Am, Em) and nothing gets beyond a bland mayo vanilla. don't try to listen to jonatha no more. she is just gonna give you a headache. your ani difranco and sinead references are way off as well. you know you just threw them two no-talents in there cuz you thought it would make you sound cool.
jonatha, is for the educated listener. simple and plain.

Jonatha Brooke's music reminds me of a virgin version of Ani Difranco, both sharing that unique "whinney" sound... Some one wrote in another review that her high notes where sharp and shrill. I wouldn't say shrill. "Whinney". But Jonatha's voice also reminds me of an impressionist at times of Sinead O'Connor. The tones, the key changes, all very light yet over flowing. She is much better singing lower toned as well as slower paced music for her voice. The higher the note.. her voice breaks into nothing but air, not a full sound. If she wants to be the next Brittney ..keep on with the airy sound.. if not.. follow your low tones... Lows also tend to feed on the emotion more. Overall, shes got one hell of a voice, she just needs some polishing....Free Music Review: Perfection of voice and sexy of soul
Hit: 5 Stars

Hit: 4 Stars
This was my first experience hearing Jonatha Brooke, and I have to say, this is one of my favorite cd's. She has so much soul, energy, and spirit in this album that it's hard to put my finger on what it is that I love so much. Her lyrics touch that part of you that screams "THIS IS ME!" Almost every song on this album is perfect and its one that you want to listen to over and over again. I'm on now to buy the rest of her cds... Now you should take my advice and get this one.Free Music Review: Jonatha rocks out and stays soulful
Hit: 5 Stars
This CD speaks to me! It is original, beautiful and sophisticated. Lyrics from the title track, "I feel the steady pull of things that I can't see...and I like it" completely describe the liminal spaces between comings and goings. I appreciate Jonatha's incredible depth and complexity and marvel with each new direction she explores. Jonatha Brook is nothing short or EXCEPTIONALLY TALENTED!!! Having just seen her on stage in Woodstock, she is even more impressive and down to earth. Her music is an anthem to all women seeking to be emancipated from whatever holds them back. She deserves to be as popular as many of her less talented peers currently in the limelight, however,I would hate for her to get so famous that she would stop playing small venues. Buy this CD. It is FABULOUS!
