Listen To This: Like A Jolt Of Oxygen

Filed under: Anglophilia > Listen To This

She's 17 years old. Seventeen!!!!

And, she's bursting with talent and charm and POTENTIAL.

Her songs demonstrate a craftsmanship and wisdom of human emotion far beyond her years.

Jose Vanders is one of the most exciting things to happen to British music since Amy Winehouse!

It's rare for an artist to come along at such a young age that is so sure of themselves.

Jose (pronounced Jo-sea) is the real deal!

Following in the tradition of Tori Amos and more recently Regina Spektor, Vanders hits our sweet spot. We're always a sucker for a cute and quirky girl with a big piano and a prodigious talent!

Enjoy the delicious Faces Going Places below. Then you must CLICK HERE to check out some of the other beautiful beautiful songs by Jose Vanders.

We still can't believe she's only 17!

Perez - how much did you site get paid to put this posting on? That's all these new musical postings are … paid advertisements by the record companies. You probably don't even listen to this before it's put on your site. You're a fat, unattractive media whore.

leelee says – reply to this

36

nice to hear an "artist" actually playing an instrument and singing without any enhancement but her voice is "immature" but then she is 17, so good on her, but she is no amy winehouse in the voice department - she looks cute - good luck to her -
matt winehouse says – reply to this

37

Wow. The tone of her voice gives me chills. Nice one.
WTF says – reply to this

42

The Piano is rather juvenile and her voice sounds like my daughter dancing in the backyard. Cute. But not worth paying money to hear.
Eve says – reply to this

43

sounds exactly like KATE NASH!
tritchy says – reply to this

44

i think they both have very similar sounds, but kate's music is a little more quirky and original.

cocktail of drugs I mixed together. Fuck, now what am I going to do? I have no money and Johnny is dead. I'm fucked.
laila says – reply to this

51

painful….if you just left the piano part in, this would be bearable to listen to. her voice makes me want to stick knitting needles in my ear drums. no joke.

Brand-a-too-ee says – reply to this

58

I think its original… and very pretty. Its nice and refreshing to hear something other than someone singing about having sex. Her accent is different… but yet I find it very intoxicating… The music is upbeat, crisp, and makes you feel like you have a skip in your walk. YEAH JOSE!

Lana says – reply to this

69

Meh. This is nothing special or original.

Was looking forward to something great after the release of Leona's single!
um NO says – reply to this

70

definetly nothing any more special than the neighbor's kid singing/playing piano
kate says – reply to this

71

you were right about eric hutchinson and regina spektor, but this is mediocre AT BEST.
h says – reply to this

72

You should listen to the norwegian susanne sundfør if you're into piano playing girls!Her tunes and voice are like a piece of heaven!!I still get the chills when I listen to her album..lovley
Uh Wha? says – reply to this

73

I think you took it too hard in the mouth or rear, Perez. Either way, you had to have brain damage or be on Brit-Juice to think that was anything other than bad.
col says – reply to this

74

she sounds EXACTLY like Kate Nash. what a fuckin rip off.

LEEDS ACCENT!?!? you americans can be such douches sometimes.
Judy says – reply to this

75

I liked it. I think the accent is cute. Shes a little overrated but for the most I dont think shes that bad.
Theda Bara says – reply to this

76

How much did you site get paid to put this paid advertisement on, Perez? That's all this site is … he probably doesn't even listen to this before it goes online. Everything's a paid advertisement. When you see Perez say he likes music and to take a listen, that's paid for by the record company. Wake up people, the fat media whore is just using you.

dee says – reply to this

79

Perez like we shou7ld really listen to your taste in music weren't you just at LAX or something listening to Heidi Montag lipsync her way through an aweful song. Why the hell are you hanging out with those losers for. She is the worst singer in the world
impressed says – reply to this

80

I'm intriqued. She' definitely talented and intoxicating…. I'd love to see these music critics on here carry a tune in a bucket and attempt to play "mary had a little lamb" on a piano…. perhaps if they had to do that infront of millions of people they'd have a new appreciation on what GOOD music is.

it sucks
Melanie says – reply to this

82

Thanks Perez! She is awesome. You have the best taste in music- I bought tickets already to Eric Hutchinson. Keep sending us amazing musicians
BLECH! says – reply to this

83

she's shiteous.
an accent ugly lyrics pretty does not make.
mundane, boring, and godawful.
she's fired.
charles says – reply to this

She sounds just like kate nash….nothing new…sorry perez!
P.S. you are all over the place….enjoy your 15 minutes…well i guess its an hour now! While it lasts!
Ldysunfyre says – reply to this

85

I could only tolerate 5 seconds of it.
krbcan says – reply to this

86

Most Brits you can barely make-out an accent in their singing voices. Her accent is incredibly thick though.

Not bad for a 17-year old though. But her voice still sounds pretty immature.
HORSE TOOTHED ENGLISH GIRL says – reply to this

87

Shall we commence on the 'morrow ?
after tea and bangers?
i'll bring the horse and buggy around
spit spot
i don't quiet "fancy" this english "twat" that was FUCKIN PAINFUL. she sounds like she belongs in the fuckin 1800's.

jose doesnt even have a record deal so how would a label be paying for this?
Brett Hartel says – reply to this

89

This is a beautiful song. I think the artist is a great singer… but… its her EXTRA long and dominate "T" sounds that give the song less appeal. All things considered, I am buying her album.
BTW - what does it truely matter if record labels pay to put there music on here? Its a free song, you dont pay. Plus, how else would we hear the music? I never even heard of this girl before hand. I think some of you people complain just to see yourself complain.

She looks like our very own Potato Head.

God, you have the WORST taste in music. Stick to coloring your Fruit Loop inspired hair, and stay away from the music scene.

Whitney Houston Last Performance! Sang Yes, Jesus Loved Me The Night Before Her Death!

We have truly lost one of the greats today.

Whitney Houston has passed away at the age of 48, and although the cause of her death is currently unknown, she made an appearance last night at the Kelly Price & Friends Unplugged: For The Love of R&B Grammy Party at True Hollywood, and even took the stage to sing what sadly, ended up being her last public performance.

Listen to the icon's still-powerful rendition of Yes, Jesus Loves Me (above).

And we love you, too, Whitney. You will be deeply, deeply missed.

May you R.I.P.
