    meh, if anything it is rather refreshing to see a young musician/songwriter actually getting some exposure as opposed to someone just standing behind a mic singing a song written by someone else.

    The only song of hers I have heard is Jar of Hearts, but good job imo.

    her music is bland, formalitic, and marketed solely for young teenage girls who are having their first relationships. example of lyrics from said song

    Who do you think you are?
    Runnin' 'round leaving scars
    Collecting your jar of hearts
    And tearing love apart
    You're gonna catch a cold
    From the ice inside your soul
    So don't come back for me
    Who do you think you are?

    anyone over 17 that listens to this tripe needs help

    As I said, it is good to see a young musician,songwriter getting some exposure, doesn't matter that the lyrics are quite innocent, in five or six years time if she is still about she won't be writing the same type of lyric.

    Who do you think you are?

    did she steal that from Spice Girls or is she very cleverly referencing it?

    shes 25 by the way, not that young. This music just seems so calculated. record companies push this type of music coz it sells. young teenage girls are probably the highest music buyers (especially for single songs on itunes). hence the reason the charts are full of your katy perrys, beyonces, girl bands, boy bands. wat are these young girls going through?? relationships, break ups, make ups, watever. hence record companies push "young" artists, with "edgy" images, singin bout topics that are relavent to them. i gaurantee there are thosands of more talented musicans out ther that dont get a chance coz they dont fit the criteria or play the game. christina perri was made in a board room by business men.

    also, in 5 or 6 years time, she wont be anywhere to be seen, replaced by the next boardroom invention, singing the very same stuff

    Oh I know, to be honest I agree with most of your post,I have only heard the one song, to be honest I don't know all that much about her, I just felt it was rather refreshing to see someone that can actually play an instrument and is actually writing. You don't really see that much these days.

    Who knows how she will progress as a songwriter.

    As commercial as it is, the track isn't half bad compared to the usual tripe on charts.

    I don't really see anything 'edgy' about her. It's all very bland. Also, I don't know why people are saying that it's so "refreshing" to see a singer-songwriter in the charts as if it's been decades since that happened - Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, Adele were/are all singer-songwriters and sh*t all over this girl in terms of songwriting abilities (Lily Allen and Amy Winehouse anyway).
