Anybody Else Think Allison Krause is Hot?

Sign in to disble this ad
So I was Youtubing to get ready for a sub gig I'm playing and one of the songs was "Gone Gone Gone"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8x78Fm4CMWQ

I love the song, but Holy Hannah is Alison looking F-I-N-E! I've never seen her look so good and, well, "flirty". Really, really appealing.

Of course, her being uber talented doesn't hurt either.

Anyone else a fan?

Alison is hot, but not so much when she was fat.

Absolutely.

She also has (to me) one of the most beautiful voices I have ever heard.

+1,000 on the voice. Damn near every time I hear her sing it makes me cry.

She also plays off male voices like no one else I've ever heard in duet situations. Listen to "Killing the Blues" (with Robert Plant who actually sounds incredibly like Chris Isaak on that track)

also "Whisky Lullaby" (with Brad Paisley)

to see what I mean.

She's not hot in the jiggly party queen sense, but I think she is attractive.

Watch the "Gone Gone Gone" video. To me, that's where she goes from "attractive" to "hot".

Maybe it was just uber Celt-Cock Rock god Robert Plant pulling something out of her, but... in that video, wow.

I like her and think she's pretty, what's the big deal? That said it's not my style of music.

Long before the Raising Sand CD and her solo fame, she was Vince Gill's harmony partner of choice on many of his CD's.

I've always thought that if Dolly Parton had control and consistency, she would sound like Alison Krauss.

The immense hooters throw Dolly's control & consistency off- she's constantly trying not to fall forward.
Seriously, I hear a lot of similarities between the two. And she(AK)is definitely hot. I wish she had a big ol' Italian nose rather than the snubbie, but to paraphrase Maki- I've done worse.
