She's touring Britain... I was gonna try and get some tickets, but they were all sold out!...
This was early December for a show in the middle of February. 
Dionne is a gorgeous singer with a unique voice..
I like her music ALOT!

I think Dionne Warwick is a great singer. My mum has stacks of her LP's. I never paid much attention to her, until recently. Maybe you only realise how good a singer someone is as you get older ? or maybe not

When I was little Dionne Warwick was my mother's favorite singer, so I have a soft spot for her.

It's sad to hear Dionne's voice now as she is no longer the singer she was.
Aled Jones played some tracks from her new cd, the second Jesus Loves Me had Dionne sounding very tired and old.
Imagine being able to sing like that and smoking? Some of the best singers around smoke, and guess which one started at an age when she should have known better !

Dionne is great...here's my favourite clip sounding the complete opposite of old & tired...

I saw her in Brum year before last and she sounded great. You must have caught her on a bad day Rep.

No I don't think so, I've been thinking this for some time and every time I hear her she sounds worse. Don't get me wrong, I really like Dionne, I've seen her in concert and have most of her albums but it's very sad to hear a great singer in decline when they had such a wonderful voice. |

Her vocal range has dropped dramatically since she's been smoking for over 45 years. When I heard her a couple of years ago she sounded amazing, her voice just filled the room. But she obviously doesn't sound the SAME as when she first started out.
