The trouble is, she looks and sounds like Sarah Palin!
I quite fancy Sarah Palin....

Yes. It's when she opens her mouth to speak that all the problems start.

Neil Young's Canadian and he's got a bloody awful whiney voice. Great songs, mind

Joni Mitchell is also Canadian but she's got a voice to die for.

Can I put in a vote for Leonard Cohen as a North American (Canadian) without a whiney voice?

Only if you're considering suicide. I'm kidding!

When she's singing, yes, but perhaps she sounds like Naomi Klein when she talks.

William Shatner is Canadian and his voice isn't particularly whiney either -

- though that's about all there is to recommend it.

We used to have a ground floor flat and the bloke in the one above used to play "Susanne "over and over. All we could hear was the base and that's suicidal! I've never been able to listen to the Leonard Cohen since.

Voice, perhaps not. But the songs themselves are whiney...

Credit where credit is due. Leonard's first two albums were excellent and featured many of his most memorable songs.

Poor old Cohen, another artist that had their money stolen by their manager; 76 and he can't afford to retire. Mind you - who can?
