I’m a little behind in pop music (or just music in general) as I’m sure many have heard of Ingrid Michaelson since last year but listening to her live concert on the NPR web site makes a fan out of me. Not that I need much convincing after my then fiancée picked out “The Way I Am” as our first dance song. Grant it, some of her songs have been commercialized but that isn’t anything new in the advertising industry that has used songs from Aerosmith, Lenny Kravitz, and many other popular artists.
Some say that she reminds them of Fiona Apple or Regina Spektor. Personally, I think she sounds a little bit like Feist. After listen to her live, I have hope that she would breakout and be known for her voice, talent, and an artist with great showmanship. Her interaction with the audience was warm, entertaining, and yet, she wasn’t shy about letting them know how she feels about people who criticize her for "letting" her songs be used in the Old Navy commercial and some TV shows (Grey’s Anatomy, One Tree Hill, etc).
If you get a chance to listen to the live concert, don’t miss the last song at the end where she beautifully sang “Fools Rush In”.
