[edit] Possible Copyright Issue

This page and this article are strikingly similar. The question is: who is the plagiarist? I'm guessing the plagiarist is the 43 people site, but can someone verify that? --Burzum 11:55, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

Also here: artistsblogz. Same article.

[edit] article name

Why was this moved? Andy Mabbett 17:38, 16 Dec 2003 (UTC)

A good question considering that her real name is not widely known. I think the article should be titled "Poe". 12.22.250.4 00:04, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

She is indeed commonly known by her stage name Poe, not as Annie Danielewski. I have thus moved the article to Poe (singer). Olessi (talk) 20:44, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] cleanup

Does anyone else think this needs to be rewritten? George 22:01, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Definitely. I took a stab; feel free to continue, it's still very rough. 12.22.250.4 00:04, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] POV language

What makes Ann and Alanis assertive and other singers non-assertive? Sounds POV. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 217.132.117.76 (talk • contribs) 00:24, 30 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer"

Somehow I doubt that she recorded "Grandma Got Run Over by a Reindeer"... sources? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 24.59.122.240 (talk • contribs) 20:09, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

The discography at her fan site and the Amazon page for the album. DejahThoris 05:21, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Is "angsty" a pejorative? Just curious. I know I can look it up online (neither it nor "angst" is in my Random House College Dictionary), but I doubt I'll get a really clear idea of how this article's author intends it. Boris B 07:42, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

This article reads really sexist to me and seems to have a lot of problems. It seems unfair to describe her as "angsty" as that is an opinion, and it seems like the writer is attempting to diminish her work by lumping her in stylistically with other female singer-songwriters just for the sake of convenience. I've heard her music and it's not notably stylistically similar to Tori Amos' "To Venus and Back" but here it's stated like it's fact. This article needs a lot of help.
