Christina Perri Review

Ironically, the next writing challenge assignment I'm doing is a review. Having saved the best for last, my friend and fellow writing challenge partner, Toni, chose Christina Perri from three choices and I'm glad she did. 

CHRISTINA PERRI 

I listened to pop radio for two years and only came away with only two favorites - Ed Sheeran and Christina Perri. 

Christina Perri is my newest favorite music artist. She writes her own songs and she uses cords that give her music that atmospheric, haunting quality that I love. Her sound is unique. Her voice is beautiful, yet has a little bit of that edge I'm so crazy about. The girl's never written a bad song that I've ever heard. She moved to L.A. from Philadelphia and struggled to pay rent while also trying to get her songs heard. Her song, Jar of Hearts, was played on So You Think You Can Dance and received a lot of attention and she rose from obscurity to fame in a short amount of time. 

Her current hit on pop radio is Jar of Hearts. It's a good song, but not my favorite, which is Tragedy. Before I knew the name of it, I called it the la la song because it's got la las. It's so very Christina Perri. It's reminiscent of something perhaps heard in the late 60s in it's style. 

 NEWS FLASH: 
I just heard one of her songs on Pandora and found it to be relatively lame. However, I have to say that her worst songs are still head and shoulders above all of the other watered-down songs heard on poop radio.

I find Christina Perri to be an extraordinary, gifted, and special talent. Really though, as if that's not enough, she's also drop-dead gorgeous. Though charismatic in her videos, she seems a little shy when performing live. She likes to keep those beautiful eyes almost closed when she sings. I've watched tons of her videos and I never tire of watching her. I've included two videos, so that you can see her live and in one of her production videos.

I think she's extremely endearing. What do you think?
