Re: Burt loves Rumer - Do any of you?!
She reminds EVERYBODY of Karen Carpenter. (With a twist of Dusty!) I can't agree that Karen's voice was bland, but I DO agree that Rumer is the best thing to come along in quite some time!

Re: Burt loves Rumer - Do any of you?!
Yes, she is. Beautiful tone, no oversinging, and a respect for the melody as written. You don't find that much these days. Burt is a big fan. He even flew her from London to LA to sing for him at his house. Richard Carpenter is also a huge Rumer fan.

Giving Rumer a listen...she has a delightful voice...I haven't heard her do Burt's stuff yet, but I do like her on her own material!

Re: Burt loves Rumer - Do any of you?!
I love her voice - So warm and intimate with beautiful tone quality. Whether she could do the vocal gymnastics which are so popular these days, I don't know. I wouldn't want her to! I love her conversational style, and she affects me emotionally, too - Like no singer has in the past 30 years.

Re: Burt loves Rumer - Do any of you?!
David - I don't think anyone here will attack you - Rumer fans are a pretty civilized bunch! ; ) Since you don't like her on Bacharach covers, have you checked out any of her original material? That is where Rumer really shines. "Blackbird" or "Slow" or "Aretha" would b...
