Dido in general

Question. How did Dido get paid for her work on the Faithless album 'Reverence'? Answer. A free curry. (True fact, pop-pickers...) The success of Dido Armstrong throughout the past year has been nothing short of phenomenal. Rewind back to 12 months ago, and she was hardly known in the UK, apart from by some die-hard Eminem sleevenote readers. Her track 'Thank You', which had featured in a film soundtrack, was used by Eminem on his seminal track 'Stan', transforming a gentle song into something more sinister. Dido showed her thanks (ha ha) by appearing as the pregnant wife of 'Stan' in the video. However, before ...  Read the complete review

The special UK edition of this CD has only just been released, but this album dates back almost two years...it was released in America during the early summer of 1999, where it has been a slow-burning success to the tune of more than 1 million copies sold. A few months ago, before Eminem took one of her songs - Thank You - and used it as the basis for his chart-topping single Stan, about an obsessed fan, few people in Britain knew who Dido was. They might have heard her by several means, but putting a name to the voice (or songs) would have proven difficult. Now, of course, Dido is the name on most people's lips, with No Angel currently enjoying the UK No.1 ...  Read the complete review

She's back with a new album and it only took a ground breaking recording breaking 5 years for her to put a new album together, if i am honest the new album sounds quite typical and nothing special. Her previous work is outstanding and quite bluntly i think she is the biggest selling female solo artist in the UK ever, two albums and she has sold 4 million in the UK and 11 million worldwide, now that's what is called impressive! The last album was outstanding i thought with singles like White Flag, Sand In My Shoes, Don't Leave Home and also in the first album the first few tracks where brillant such as Take My Hand, All I Want and also the singles Here With Me, ...  Read the complete review

Although no stranger to the music industry, it was only around a year ago that Dido first started to become known here in the UK. At first, this was for her song "Here With Me" being made into the theme song for "Roswell High", but later for her part on Eminem's hit single "Stan". Dido has a beautiful voice, and her work is a refreshing change to the commercialised teenie-bopper bands that continuously top the charts. Her first album "No Angel" is packed with twelve unique tracks, sung in Dido's distinctive style. ============================= 1. Here With Me 2. Hunter 3. Don't Think Of ...  Read the complete review

Eminem and Dido what's the world coming to when one of the biggest names in rap is singing with a mrs nowbody from England. Well I think the song Stan song will do more for Dido then for the multiy millionaire Eminem. I could understand if he was singing alongside Dr Dre or Snoop not that I can see either dressing up in a dress looking 7 months pregnant! Dido is a singer over here from London by chance she is where she is today and luckily her lovely voice brought her that chance along with being spotted by Eminem's record label. In the Stan video Dido is the girlfriend of a mad obsessed fan of Eminem. The video portrays a lonely ...  Read the complete review
