    Theres noone better than this sweet singing lady! hide show

    I started listening to Kate Bush's when i was 8 years old, my dad put on her 'The Whole Story' album (Te isk in which all her best songs are on from 'The Kick Inside to 'The Hounds Of Love') and i was listening to her song 'Babooshka' and i just got really into it. Ever sents then i have listened to all 8 albums and downloaded her extra song including 'Experiment IX' 'The Magician' 'Don't Give Up' and ven her pre-recording (before 'The Kick Inside' album came out in 1979) organic Acid which she sings along side her brother! Kate Bush's music has inspired me so much to even start singing my own music! I'll never forget the first time i listened to her music, or even every other time after that! Shes definatly Talented, and She certainly the best singer iv ever heard!

    I love Kate's music! hide show

    Kate Bush is a very unique and amazing singer from my home country. Yes she and I are both from England. She ahs an astounding voice and truly deserves more recognition here in America. She is very popular in England, I know, but not a lot of people in America have heard of her or her music. One of her best songs was "Wuthering Heights." I think my favourite album is The Kick Inside. I just loved the way she sang, and I also loved how people could relate to her songs. She can totally connect with teen girls with her music, and also because she was just a teenager when she wrote the songs. Still, she is a great role model for girls or anyone. I think she should be recognised here in America as well.

    An amazing singer! hide show

    I have 4 of Kate Bush's new CD's. She is an amazing singer. I found out about her when I went to England last summer. I heard her song "Wuthering Heights" at a pub in Bolton while I was eating dinner with my family. The singer had this beautiful high-pitch voice. I thought, "Wow! This voice is awesome! Who sings this?" My granddad told me it was Kate Bush! I looked her up on the internet, and a few weeks later, I bought some of her CDs. This woman has got a BEAUTIFUL voice, and her songs are so cool! As I listen to her music more and more, I feel closer to her, like a best friend. I know I don't really know her in person, but I've read so much about her and listened to a lot of her music, and I feel that make a friendship between us by spirit. More American people should listen to her music, especially people my age. I'm almost 19.
    Keep up the great work, Kate! Girl, you are my hero!
