Atticus Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 sorry if this has been mentioned but didn't she sing in the christmas movie with will ferrell (elf)? I thought then that she had a wonderful voice. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Yeah she did a great "Baby It's Cold Outside" both in the film and on the soundtrack (with Leon Redbone). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scalzunfield Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Okay, I couldn't take my eyes off her in Elf (still can't when she's on the screen) and that interview only added to that feeling of attraction I get seeing/hearing her. The album is wonderful and I have been unable to get "This Is Not A Test" out of my head for more than 15 minutes at a time the past week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Then I saw Zooey was doing the trumpet thing with her mouth, and the Adorable Rating went off the chart. a few tour dates: She & Him - 2008 Tour DatesApr 21 - Hiro Ballroom New York, New York Apr 29 - Vista Theatre Los Angeles, California May 18 - San Francisco Oysterfest San Francisco, California Quote Link to post Share on other sites

explodo Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Can anybody tell me why this record isn't just called "She"? Needs way more M. Ward. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KevinG Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Can anybody tell me why this record isn't just called "She"? Needs way more M. Ward. I am prolly in the minority but I think less M Ward is a good thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tugmoose Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Looked like Z got the message to show more personality, so she had this kind of pasted smile on her face when she wasn't singing. Not phony, just not very natural. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
