Pros: Soothing confection of sugar sweet Cons: No substance whatsoever
At first listen, Didos No Angel is a slightly subversive thrill ride into the dangers of subliminal seduction. The music is soothing, and vaguely intoxicating. Time flies and you are unaware of the clock. You feel somewhat drawn into another ...
Pros: Good Voice, Catchy tunes, Occasional Lyric
Cons: Repetitive, Thematically unchallenging, Silly in places
Dido's "No Angel" is one of those c.d.s that starts off good, then fizzles quickly. The best tracks fall within the first half and the only ones truly worth listening to repeatedly are 1,2, and 6. They are, quite simply, the best tracks.
Pros: Nice voice, some interesting production Cons: Bland, borrows to much from other artists.
Dido has finally arrived on the scene thanks to a clever sample from Eminem and mass exposure to his single "Stan". Right now I can't think of any other singer who has been made a star by being sampled but this seems to be the case. So the big question...
I am self-avowedly a fan of rock and roll. I love punk, I adore grunge (or whatever the hell you want to call it), alt-rock got me through most of the 90s, and theres nothing quite as good as some good ole fashioned blues. I can even stomach...
Pros: Some likeable ambient trip-hop sounds, the opening trio of songs is decent. Cons: Overly placid and sung without a hint of emotion.
Dido Florian Cloud de Bounevialle Armstrong Gould (yes, that is her real name) is a British singer-songwriter who first rose to fame after Eminem sampled her track Thank You on his massive hit Stan. (She also appeared in the music ...
Upon hearing Dido's solo debut for the first time, I thought it was an incredible album. As I experienced all the songs I fell deeper into her voice, and the smooth yet electronic sounds. But as a short time passed my love affair was looking more like a...
Pros: Great voice, vivid images painted, great production Cons: A couple of weak tracks, repetitive, maybe a little too depressing at times.
After being furiously propelled into the spotlight with a feature on Eminems most famous song to date Stan, it was only wise that Didos (had been) badly selling album No Angel would spark interest. Holding the song ...
Pros: Dido has a voice that will remind you of a lot of great singers, she has written some really memorable pop tunes that shouldn't be overlooked. Cons: The songs tend to blend together at first, but take heart -- if you let yourself get into them, they'll pick you up and put you back on your feet.
What might just be the darkest single of the year -- Stan -- by Eminem, has rocketed the unknown Dido into super-stardom in just a few short months. I'll admit that I like the Eminem tune, but I never realized why - that is, until a friend gave...
Pros: Unique beat, good vocals, lyrics included, can listen to it all the way through Cons: A couple of blah songs in the middle of the CD
Hearing the same John Mayer and Matchbox 20 songs on the radio over and over and over again this summer has made me revert back to my CD collection several times for some good music relief. One refuge I have found is in Dido's "No Angel" CD, which I ...
Pros: Jam-packed with good, strong songs and a feeling of general 'niceness'. Cons: The songs tend to blend together - they're a bit 'samey'.
This time two years ago, Dido was a virtual unknown. A few musical anoraks might have recognised her as Rollo from Faithless’ sister, but otherwise she was just a girl with a strange name and a great voice.
Pros: A relaxing, laid back and chilled album Cons: Some tracks are a little dull sometimes
My music taste has really varied over the past few years. I've gone through a pop stage, a dance stage and I've gone through a rather odd euro trash pop stage ( does anyone remember Corona - I'd love to know ). At the moment though I am trapped between...
Pros: solid pop music with soul and heart Cons: some songs miss the mark completely, stale vocal delivery in some places
Dido's debut album No Angel has all the makings of being a let down. After all, it wasn't even her own song that has created interest in her album, but rather the sample pulled from her song Thank You that was placed in...
Pros: Dido's beyond amazing voice, soothing rhythms, expressive lyrics Cons: Not for those who dislike slow, romance-depressive music
No Angel, Dido Armstrong's first album was released in 1999. It's listed under "Pop" as the music style, but I truly think that this is in a league all to itself. Dido's astoundingly beautiful voice is backed by the keyboard and acoustic guitar...
Pros: Soothing and relaxed right throughout, great for playing on a rainy day. Cons: No real variation in style, at times could be like listening to one long song.
By now the story of Dido Armstrong is an all too familiar one. When Eminem (aka Marshall Mathers) decided to sample Dido's song "Thank You" on his major hit "Stan", the end result was a flurry of people across America asking, "Who's that girl?"
...
Pros: Excellent production, great voice, strong songwriting in evidence. Cons: Rarely sets the listener on fire, a little samey
Dido’s rapid ascent took many people and the charts themselves by surprise, from her previous material which included guest spots with labelmates Faithless (aided no doubt by the fact that her brother Rollo is a key member of the band) and having Eminem...
Pros: Lyrics deep, emotional sound and complex melodies. Cons: Some of the songs are samey, may make you feel a bit depressed.
Florian Cloude De Bourneville Armstrong isn't a name which trips off the tongue easily which may explain why Dido didn't use her real name for her pop career. She was born on 25th December 1971 in London and soon showed a talent for music after learning...
Pros: Different from the music playing on the radio! Refreshing! Cons: None!
I believe the first time I heard about Dido was when I listened to their song, "Here With Me" on a local radio station. I was immediately drawn to the flow and style of the music. I had never heard anything like it, and it was wonderfully refreshing and...
Pros: Lovely melodies and a rounded voice make for an easy to listen to album Cons: Lack of any real depth and too simple lyrics
For a woman who was named after a character from a Greek tragedy, one would expect or at least hope to hear something at least resembling conflict or a maturer attempt at approaching it. Dido displays about as much emotion and depth as a soap opera star,...
Pros: Dido's haunting vocals, range of musical influences. Cons: None.
Dido's stellar debut "No Angel" was a welcome addition to a market saturated with boy bands and catchy pop one-hit wonders. Dido's voice brings to mind Sarah McLachlan and Dolores Riordan at times: her soft, fluid phrasing and breathy tone searches ...
Pros: Production and vocals Cons: some songs drag under their own weight
As I lay stretched out on my bedroom floor, mercilessly crunching my abs, listening to the mind-numbing trash that is radio one, I heard a voice; the voice of Dido.
Of course I knew nothing of her, I heard Eminiem's tragic story of a young man...
Pros: Dido's awesome voice, decent music and lyrics. Cons: A lot of breakup songs. Wears out after a while.
I first heard Dido's voice several months ago when she sang backup on a 'Faithless' CD. Since then I have been amazed at how well she sings and with the quality of her music, being that it does fall under the genre of 'pop'. The combination of Dido's...
Pros: There is a song for almost anything..if you listen. Cons: Are you insane?!
Now that I have your attention, I shall proceed by singing Dido some quite deserved praise!
Can anyone remember when 'Roswell' had not started airing on 'The WB', but advertisements were flying across the screen to get you hyped up for it? Well, I...
Pros: Interesting trans-genre sound, Dido's voice, some great songs about love Cons: Some bad song-writing, not consistently great, too many different musicians
I bought this album after hearing "Thank You" (Deanna, thank you for telling me about "Thank You") and loving it, knowing that I would never like the other songs as much as I do "Thank You", but hoping that I could find...
I really wanted to like Dido, I really did. I had heard "Here With Me" on the WB's Roswell and I really liked the song. Then I heard the song on the radio and I happen to catch the DJ announcing who the artist was. I really wanted to like her.
Then...
Pros: her unique still of music Cons: the mono tones of each song
Dido was a stupefaction to me. I first heard her song "Here with Me" on the first showing of Roswell and fell in love with it. It is such a ravishing love song but still retains a unique beat to not make it corny. That's it's UNIQUE. I...
Pros: Dido's voice, original lyrics, Cons: Repetition in theme
I recently walked into my local music store with a mission; to purchase Dido's CD "No Angel". I didn't know what to expect from the album, I only knew that Dido's sultry voice was addicting and I wanted to hear more of what she had to say. ...
Pros: if you like her popular songs, the rest won't disappoint Cons: slower songs lack a certain something
Unlike most people, the first song that drew my attention to Dido was not "Here with Me." During the 3rd skit in "If These Walls Could Talk 2" Dido's song "Thank You" was played. I thought it was sweet and fun (the song,...
Pros: Beautiful, unique voice, really cool mixing and samples "Here With Me", "Hunter", "Honestly OK", "Slide" Cons: A schizophrenic album, going from greatness to groanness. Bland tunes like "Thank You" would feel right at home on your local Easy Listening station...
Dido's first full length, No Angel seems a little ... well, schizophrenic to me. On one hand, you have lush, inspired tunes like "Here With Me", "Hunter", and "Honestly OK"; on the other hand, you have trite predictable...
Pros: Truly poetic lyrics, easy listening, no skipping tracks Cons: too short
I picked up Dido's "No Angel" after having heard "Here With Me" several times. I didn't know what to expect from the album, but I thought that if it sounded anything like the first track, then it wouldn't be such a bad buy. ...
Pros: Meaningful mood music, and well produced. Cons: A tad bit over produced in some spots.
Dido's "No Angel" seems to be the CD most frequenting my cd player these days. And why not? With it's jazzy/popish/folksy mixture of heartfelt songs ranging from the subjects of losing lovers in "All You Want" and "My Lovers...
The gal Dido started out over seas singing. Unfortunately, the poor girl started out with not much self-confidence as her older brother once told her that she shouldn't quit her day job.
Dido started out as a lead singer for a garage band,...
Pros: Stunning Voice, Amazing Songs. Cons: Slow Mean WAY Slow.
Dido's 1999 debut album "No Angel" is one of the most amazing debuts for a female artist. Her voice is splendid and graceful in every aspect, and in every song. Not only is her voice awesome, but her songs are written beautifully and talk of...
Pros: good vocals, harmony, orchestration, catchy beats, good on repeat Cons: sometimes too nasal-like, you'll feel like a single, soul-searching, cappucino-drinking, The View-watching, thirtysomething, newage-sewage-loving, mini-Zen-garden-owning, Marketing chick
I enjoyed this album, and in fact am listening to right now.
I also enjoy Sarah McLachlan, but can't say I care all the much for Sinead O'Connor.
I particularly enjoyed the track, "Slide" with the lyrics: "It's all...
Pros: Dido's lyrics are introspective and reflect personal experience, yet they are still accessible to everyone. Cons: The "bonus" track . I think it is horrible and out of place.
Here's the recipe:
Dido - no angel
Ingredients: 1 1/2 cups of Sade
1 cup of Edie Brickell minus granola
3/4 cup of Portishead plus Prozac
3 heaping tablespoons of Fiona Apple minus...
Pros: Great voice, interesting music, some decent lyrics, artsy CD cover Cons: not great driving music
I seems the general consensus with Epinion listeners is this is a pretty darn great debut album. And they're right. I have little to add, actually, but will go on anyway with why I like her debut album so much.
Dido's "No Angel" is the most amazing music I have ever heard. I first heard her at the '99 Lilith Fair in Austin TX. I was sitting with my best friend in the VIP section and heard this amazing voice (that sounded exactly like Sarah Mclachlan...
Pros: Soft and sweet, great music to relax to Cons: Very similar to other bands, if you don't like those other well, you might not like this
From the very first episode of Roswell, I was drawn into the TV show by the song that played on its opening credits. Can one song truly be that powerful? It can!
Dido is refreshing change from some of the popular music that is being released...
Pros: Unique,great potential Cons: Sometimes the songs blend together
Dido is not like any pop singer out there.She writes all of her songs and uses many different elements,aside from a beat machine.This girl got to fame from Eminem's(could she have chosen ANYONE else?) "Stan",which sampled her hit song "Thank You".After...
Dido entered the music business at the ripe young age of six, entering London's Guildhall School of Music. By her teens she was already an accomplished musician and had mastered the piano and the violin. Dido joined the trip-hop outfit Faithless in...
Pros: built up with positive energy Cons: maybe too many catchy, cheap sounding tracks
Dido may not consider herself an angel, but when I first heard the songs, it felt like listening to an angel. It's obvious that Dido is a nice person who falls in love too easily. Don't we all?
I may be bias on this, because the album was given to...
Pros: Listening to Dido will calm you as you rest or study, it also has a romantic feel to it that is perfect for that special someone! Cons: Unfortunately some of the songs on "No Angel" aren't as captivating as her two biggest hits "Here with Me" and "Thank You". Perhaps they would be best if served up separately in a single.
"No Angel" by Dido definitely should be a top seller similar to albums of artists such as Spears and Aguilera, however this Dido diva has not been given her well deserved place in the spotlight. Recently listeners have been discovering her...
Pros: Great songs, very addictive and likable Cons: Not a lot of depth
Dido's debut album, No Angel, is one of my favorites- and I haven't even owned it for very long. Her mysterious voice and lyrics are among the most compelling and irresistible I have heard in a long time.
Pros: Divine voice. Upbeat mystical music. A combination that's so hard to find these days. Cons: Having to wait for the next offering.
For me to buy a CD means that the work has to grab me. I don't want to come off sounding that I'm all high and mighty when it c omes to listening to music. I'm just picky. I appreciate music of all kinds. I listen to music of all kinds on the radio. When...
Pros: Sweet, smooth music to fall asleep to. Cons: Sweet, smooth music to fall asleep to.
OK, so everyone has heard 'Thank You' in Eminem's fatal saga of 'Stan'. I loved the smooth melody and had to check it out alone. This CD is still in my CD player, I can't get it out! If I am in a good mood, the songs make me bounce around my house...
Pros: You've never heard a voice like this or an album that will touch you like this one!! Cons: There are none!!
If you are one of the people who are interested in hearing the voice of an Angel,you must listen to this album! This is an album that will entrance you and captivate your attention.I had never heard of Dido before I heard the song "Here with...
Pros: awesome voice, each song is distinctive and different Cons: at first you have the urge to skip some songs
I am a huge fan of the TV show "Roswell". From the first time I heard the show's theme song "Here With Me", I was entranced. One of my favorite tracks on the CD, "Here With Me" is slow and sad. The sheer beauty of Dido's soft and sultry voice uplifts...
Pros: Wonderful, flowing sound. Singing complements band. Cons: May not be diverse enough for some listeners.
It takes a lot to make me buy a CD. With the sheer variety of mp3s on the 'web and online I find it's rare to find something I am truly interested in and willing to commit $15 on.
Dido's album "No Angel" was a notable exception,...
Pros: Dido's music is beautiful and soothing. It is wonderful music to relax too. Cons: Her music may be too soothing to those who are overtired. It is not recommended for night driving!
Even the rapper Eminem admire's Dido's singing. Evidently Dido's music will please everyone and it comes highly recommended from this listener.
I fall in love with music that is soothing and relaxing. Dido's music fits these descriptions...
Pros: Aural sexy gets you high from the chords and hits the key of G spot Cons: No great hooks or songs you would sing to yourself.
Dido owes her fame and success to Slim Shady i.e. Marshal Mathers. I don't know why, but there is no mention of M on the liner notes. Were it not for his super hit Stan with her backing vocal track she would not have had the exposure, but that is now...
Pros: strong vocals, real lyrics Cons: too few songs on the album
I fell in love with "Here with Me" although I couldn't catch the artist's name. Then when the show "Get Real" was featuring "All You Want" in a preview clip,I thought it sounded vaguely familiar. Soon my husband declared...
Pros: The radio singles I love are here Cons: every other track is boring
I got No Angel as a graduation gift from a friend. I have to say I really began to like Dido's singles on the radio including "Here With Me" and "Thank You". So i got the cd, and was really happy to sit and enjoy this music. but unfortunately, all...
When I first heard Dido's voice, it was in Eminem's video "Stanley". I thought it was his song that I liked, but I later discovered that I just liked the parts where Dido sang. Within a week or so of watching her video "Thank You", I went out and...
Pros: Dido sings of love, loss, and philosophy with flair and sincerity. Cons: I hate Dido in the video with Eninem!
No Angel" is a fun CD that offers something for everyone:) love ballads, dance songs, and explores the mystery of life. Dido's maturity is that she has a diverse range and is willing to use the sounds and texture of music to express herself, taking you...
I met Dido on Eminem's new disc The Marshall Mathers LP.
On one of his songs he includes this rythmatic voice of Dido. She has a serious flow of really sensitive music. He uses an excerpt from the song "Thank You" which I think is...
Pros: very smooth and unique....sounds abit like sade Cons: songs seem a little too short
If it looks like Jewel and sounds like Sade it must be....DIDO!
...and if you listen to your local radio station, or watch MTV then chances are you have heard the smooth and mellow stylings of Dido and didnt even know it.
Pros: Angelic voice with dream-like songs. Cons: Are you serious?!
May I point out that months before Stan came out her first single, the beautiful "Here With Me" was used as the theme song for the show Roswell. You can believe that it was Stan, but Eminem is not completely to thank for her success. No, she did that...
Pros: Ethereal and fanciful. Cons: "Don't Think of Me"
Dido effectively combines the soulfulness of sarah McLachlan, the quirkiness of Sinead O'Connor, and Beth Orton's mundanity with a uniquely smooth lyrical flair.
The CD has a fusion-based taste to it, combining trip-hop with melodic pop.
...
Pros: beautiful voice, haunting songs Cons: some trite music
I have to admit, I'm quite into the crunchy granola lesbian folk rock scene. Which means if they were at Lillith Fair, chances are I own an album by them.
But I also own quite a few albums of drastically different styles -- songs I've heard...
Pros: She has a really beautiful voice and good songs Cons: Songs can sound very similar...
I first heard Dido sing the theme song for the show "Roswell." I loved the song "Here With Me" so I decided to buy the CD. When I bought the CD, I hadn't heard "Thank You" yet. Anyway, I went home and the first song is "Here With Me." This is my favorite...
Pros: It's absolutely beautiful Cons: I want more songs on the cd!
A year ago, I was in Yahoo! Chat, talking with a friend about how I thought that Meredith Brooke's "What Would Happen (if we kissed)" had to be the sexiest song I'd ever heard. He suggested I listen to Dido's "Here With Me". Knowing...
Pros: nice sound, acoustic fell Cons: voice is so light it can't keep up with some songs
When I first heard a sample of Dido on "Stan," I just had to know who made this songs.After I found out it was Dido, I went and listened to her CD at once.Although I'll willingly admit that I thought I'd be disappointed, I was actually extremely...
Pros: beautiful and hauntingly Roswellesque Cons: last few songs are kinda boring
I bought this album because of the beautiful and haunting song, "Here With Me" which is the theme song of the WB's Roswell. If you love the show like me, you'll be surprised by how many of the songs seem to apply to the show. There's even a...
Pros: She has a truly unique voice. Cons: She speaks the truth...that can only hurt!
You might be questioning the way to pronounce that name of hers but I can assure you that there are not questions about her talent. When you look at people like Brittany spears, you tend to wonder if it's her singing that has brought on the fame. Well,...
Pros: Dido's talents as a singer and songwriter Cons: none
I picked up this CD, like most people, when I heard Eminem's "Stan" which samples Dido's "Thank You". The song had been stuck in my head for days and I had to have it. But not only did I find myself humming that song, but after one...
Pros: beautiful music & voice Cons: album was hard to find
I first heard Dido on the Eminem song "Stan" and to be very honest I liked her part of the song much more than Eminem's. How could such a easy listening musician get involved in one of Eminem's songs. I am happy that they collaborated though,...
Pros: Can write and sing Cons: Similar to other female vocalists i.e.Sarah Maclachan
After watching "The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn" last night, I felt compelled to write a review of this album. I became familiar with this singer after watching "Roswell" and I was intrigued by the theme song. The song,...
Pros: Her mesmerizing voice/ Lyrics are included! Cons: N/A
This CD is one of a few that remains and will remain permanently in my CD changer. (Coincidentally, Eminem's is along with it...ironically, so is *NSYNC's) I remember watching Roswell, and wondering who sang the theme song. After listening to Eminem's...
Dear God, thank you for giving me a singer that is not ditzy blond. True, she is no angel, but she is no Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera. The wonder that is Dido cannot be expressed. She is everything people have been hoping for. Someone with...
Didos CD - NO ANGEL, is excellent. Plain and simple.
I first heard Dido, while shopping in a high end furniture store with a friend. The song, 'Thank you', would be later heard on Eminems track 'Stan'. As I kept listening to the song, her...
What can I say, the music brought out my Dido in this album are amazing. They fit into almost every category of music out there. I was recently brought to Dido's attention by Eminem who features Dido in the song, "Stan", which is a sample of...
Pros: Great lyrics, beautiful voice, catchy tunes. Cons: a bit repetitive
I am a certified music junkie and it doesn't take much for me to buy an album. However in these Boy-band-Britney-clone days, real music is at an all time low. But catching a late night peek at Dido's video for "Here with me" made me curious....
Pros: a good pick-me-up album Cons: no dance tunes
When I first heard the song "Here with me" I didn't even know the artists name, and to be perfectly honest I didn't care, I just wanted the song. Usually when I go to buy CD's only for one song I am a little skeptical, because that is a risky...
Pros: Her voice is grate. Cons: I do not like some of the songs.
I bought this album because of the song "Here With Me" that is the theme from the hit TV show rosewel on the wb on monday nights at 8:00 pm maybe 9:00 depending on where you live. I love most of the songs I hate some songs that I do not like...
Pros: The songs are beautiful Cons: Some of the songs get old fast.
I bought this CD a few weeks ago and I'm in love with it. I take it everywhere with me and I sing the songs constantly. Dido has a strong, beautiful voice and I hope to hear her songs more often. She is talented and she has a history behind her music....
Pros: Hit track good Cons: other tracks strange --no lyrics inside
I purchased the CD, "No Angel" by Dido, after hearing the single "Here with Me" on the radio. This song is very good and has haunting music to accompany great lyrics. The song is easy to listen to and sing along with. However, the...
sweet atmosphere in a metropolitan context, the melodia pop joined
to its beautifulst voice joins to the sonorità of vanguard music.
Dido, sister of Rollo of the Faithless (musical group from stamp
atmospheres tetre trip hop) has one...
Pros: She has a sweet sounding voice, and writes some of her own music Cons: She does not write well, and her voice isn't something anybody wants to hear forever
Okay...so she was featured in Stan, big deal. would anybody know her name if he wouldn't of sang a cover to her, 'Thank You'? I will give her credit for having a very warm and welcoming voice, but there is no emotion, power, or soul in her album. She...
Dido is a great vocalist, and this cd is fantastic. She has a really melodic, but different-sounding voice, backed up by some interesting music. The lyrics to her songs are really great - my personal favorite is Thank You.
A very sweet music from a very beautiful girl by enrg ,Aug 27 '04
Pros: her music and beauty Cons: none
A sweet atmosphere in an urban context, the pop melody united to its attractive voice unite themselves to the resonance of the music of avant-garde.
Dido, sister of Rollo of the Faithless (musical group from the gloomy atmospheres of mould trip hop) has a marvellous voice and a femininity fascinating.
Eminem, the more incited rapper in traffic, wanted it in its disk, for "Stan" that takes again its "Thank you" and already a success became.
"Here with me", an of the songs more played from the radio, is a piece of rare beauty and is accompanied from an evocative video of the life and of the stories that all we confront every day.
I believe really that Dido will do very happened...
... if it already is not doing, seen that its disk is already between the most sold in England.
Dido was five when she stole her first recorder. This didn t lead to prison but rather to her entrance one year later into the Guildhall School of Mus...More at Buy.com Marketplaces
