California born singer-songwriter down in London. She has the advantage of being Lady Grantham, whereas I just live near Grantham.

That's no competition, WV. That is just shocking. Awful. Dreadful.
It just goes to show, money will get you gigs and backing singers. It will get you a band and videos. But if you're a crap singer with an awful song........
The phrase that comes to mind is "No matter how hard you rub, you can't bring a shine to horse shit"
You carry on, Lass. Do some real singing in Lincolnshire.

She's crap. She should stick to (over)acting - where's she's not quite as crap, but nearly.
Lynn rules OK.

That was the sort of song I'd sing to my kids when they were young and I wanted to watch the footy in peace - guaranteed to either make them fall asleep or stomp off in a huff to their mum.
Really quite dire (not that I can really criticise)
I much prefer Lynn's voice and song choices!

I love you guys!!!! ;D
I feel a bit sorry for her, in interviews she seems very sweet and loves having her 'little band'. I can't see her have gone further than open mics if she wasn't already well known. You'da thunk one of her friends or relatives would have been honest with her before it went as far as it has.
The other songs aren't any better than The Cow Song, but The Cow Song gave me the biggest giggle. "all those eyelashes round all those eye sockets"

Stomp her! Stomp her good! but she's Lady Grantham! Maybe Mr Lakeman can help with the stomping. The Independent calls it "Carole King without the angst "

She was awful song was as someone said childlike. It reminded me of that song the wheels on the bus. And as for the review "Carol King without the angst" and talent and musical ability. You wouldn't find James Taylor singing one of Lady G's songs
