Why does she always sound like she's shivering when she's singing? I mean, I know the girl is horribly skinny and may need to correct her Meth amphetamine habit, but she can't be that cold.

Don't get me wrong, I like her music. However, i think she shivers, like a chihuahua.

I don't know, but it's mostly the reason why I don't enjoy listening to her.

I like that aspect of her voice.

I don't think her vocals sound as tortured as they did on her first album, which I still like. Between the leaked and official versions, EM is easily her best album though.

i heart fiona. heart heart HEART.

I am glad that most of us like Fiona Apple. However, no reponse has gotten me any closer to the answer to my question about shivering.

i'm thinking the only person who can answer your question is fiona herself.

Her capstan is lopsided. Or is it her pinch roller?

There's a draft.

...because she had to break the window.

i think of it less as a shiver and more like somebody's pinching the delicate underside of her arm.

That's gold.
