Women Who Rock Right Now: No. 3
- Posted by Spinner
Who: Karen OBirthplace: South Korea
Sound: Art punk
From orgasmic screeches to epileptic body-thrashing, the New Jersey-raised Karen O is more than an idiosyncratic rocker with an unnatural affinity for Spandex. The Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman is a self-possessed force of nature who'll dizzy you up with lyrical riddles, douse you in beer and then sing you a love song to rest your pretty little head.
Listen to 'Gold Lion'

Karen O totally rocks. But I think they should have used "Date With The Night" or "Art Star" here instead....lol, that would totally blow the rest of the list here away. Why isn't Bjork mentioned BTW??? She is not only rock but truly the only artist that defined a whole new level of art in music unparalleled to any other.

She is the only one I've heard so far this is even half-way decent and I wouldn't call her "notable." She sounds like a million other female singers out there. The "new Debbie Harry?" I don't think so.
And this song sucks. I can see past that to weigh her vocal ability but... still.

I was going to be so pissed if Karen O. wasn't on this list, even though all the rest on here don't belong here.

EXCUSE ME!!! EXCUSE ME!!! You forgot to mention Shingai Shoniwa from the NOISEttes. Shingai Shoniwa ROCKS way harder than spoiled blah Lilly Allen! Shingai is the future of music not some wannabe girl-pop hipster twit.
