She is looking forward to having a contest to have you all pick her next two covers. Anyway, here she is showing her love for head-fi and holding the black Tomahawk being given away as the first prize:

Hmm, I was going to says nice cans, but actually about the headphones. When audio equipement is around I don't notice anything but it, (given that it is good audio equipement). Anyway, which model are they exactly?

She is using Denon AH-D2000s, and wearing them backwards.

I think she has a great voice. ....aaaand not to be the only guy with something to criticize (does this make me the Simon?), but despite her singing good songs with a good voice, I think she came across (in the linked songs) as singing someone else's songs rather than making them her own, like a really good choir singer rather than a performer. I'm not a singer to give technical notes, just a music-lover that appreciates a true and heartfelt performance. I really think she could shine if she were doing her own songs, or songs that were changed enough to make them hers so that she's singing in a way that she's saying something from herself.

I think doing covers is a great way for a band to get its feet under itself. In fact, I think it should practically be required. I think you are going about it the right way, but I think you can take it up a notch with something that you make yours. She seems like she might enjoy Eva Cassidy's "Songbird" album as an example of what I mean (esp. Over the Rainbow, and Fields of Gold).

I should have picked that up. My bad. They aren't plugged into anything either, but she put them on just to show her love for the head-fi community.

As stated in the rules, negative comments will still get an entry. Would never make an entry dependent on positive feedback. I just welcome and encourage it... i.e. bribe.

The giveaway is still open and thanks for the support.

Ya, I was admittedly skeptical at first, but was actually impressed by the time I finished watching.

NOTE:

I want to start another giveaway that will simply be about suggesting new covers for Era, so I'm going to end this giveaway at the earlier of 120 entries or midnight on Jan. 30.

All other terms remain the same.

Okay, the jig is up, I wasn't really looking at the Denons...
