It's the annual BBC Sound of... poll!

Follow the link to look at the artists but also take part in our very own RESPONSE poll, whereby we discern which of these hott new artists' claims are most off-putting. Cynicism? More like survival instinct.

The least objectionable one, apart from maybe the apocalypse one, is the "learning what my voice can do", which I think is totally fair and something you can actually HEAR on a lot of good records by other people. I think what's queered the pitch here is "it's a discovery about me", which is dippy and obnoxious.

Yeah, I liked that comment too! I actually thought it was commendably honest, and would probably predispose me positively towards that person overall.

The self-discovery bit might just indicate youthful silliness. (For some reason, this makes me think of the Red Dwarf episode where Lister went back in time and met his teenage self performing in a pub, singing a song which went "Ommmm, ommmmm". Crypto-fascist! Excuse me, I'm being distracted by amusement now)

That one makes me think that whoever it is just doesn't know how to sum herself up in one sentence to journalists (another bad thing about the others is how pat they are!). Def the least objectionable.
