Really? I think it's hard to deny that she is indeed very thin. She looks healthy, though.
I'm in love with Fiona Apple.

Well, she's "very thin" sure, but I wouldn't say overly so. Not compared to, say, Calista Flockhart.
Fiona looks "naturally" thin. I.E. she's at her own healthy weight and is the type who cannot put on weight easily.

Here's an episode of Iconoclasts from the Sundance Channel that featured Fiona Apple and Quentin Tarantino (it aired in late 2006):

^ I was just going to ask if anyone had seen that programme!! A very weird combination. Talk about Beauty and the Beast!
She did have an eating disorder at the time she made her first album. She was raped at the age of 12 and it left her, understandably, with lingering psychological and emotional issues. She had both an eating disorder and a problem with self-harm in the past. From a 1998 Rolling Stone interview:
She's had a few top 40 songs in the UK, but not recently. She's not popular here either, at least, not now. 15 years ago? Much more so. I dated a girl in university that adored her music. I like a few of her songs, but she's not really my type of musician.
Nonsense. There are lots and lots of singer-songwriters around who are very similar to Fiona Apple.
When has there not been "manufactured pop singers" on the charts?
It just seems like you hear about the manufactured one's more than you do the really talented ones.

That would be due to the manufacturing. If they manufacture a pop star, they want that star to be immediately visible and notable, and the only one in the public eye. That said, there are lots of artists like Fiona Apple who are around.

Oh I'm not denying that there areJust saying for someone like me who doesn't go out of his way to find pop-stars who are genuinely talented, they are not as noticeable nowadays.
That's because the mainstream is always changing. Right now, there's so much music everywhere, you can take days to listen to the top 40 charts before having to dig any deeper to see what else is playing. There is such a glut of music, finding exactly what you're looking for isn't as difficult because of rarity, but it becomes difficult because of availability. There's SO MUCH that you have to wade through it all.
A-Ha, for example. I wasn't aware until recently that they had a string of hits in other countries. The way the American media tells it, groups like this had one massive hit and dropped off the face of the earth.
Goes all the way back to the dawn of rock and roll, with record companies getting lame-o white nerds to record safe, sanitized versions of black artists' songs so the kids wouldn't be corrupted by that "jungle music."
It's Fiona Apple's birthday today. She turns 34.
I'd make fun of the OP except for the fact that just yesterday I was thinking "whatever happened to Fiona Apple? She was really good an really hot."
People always say that, but to be honest was there anything in the music industry that fit the definition of corporate and manufactured more then Motown records?
