5.0 out of 5 stars Sheer Genius, 15 Aug 2003

By A Customer

White Flag was first played on Jo Whiley's show on Radio One and since then, has probably been played at least once a day by most radio networks. It's subject is something that nearly everyone can relate to - not telling someone you love them because you know it could ruin your friendship either with that person, or with your other friends etc etc. Since the first album, her voice seems to have changed slightly, and her range extended but it still retains it's awesomeosity ( if that's a word! ).

Dido has never had a number one single in the U.K. which as most of you Dido fans will agree, is pretty bad. But that is partly due to one thing, her album was out at the same time as the singles, so most people bought the album, and so didn't bother buying the singles as well ( well some Die Hard fans did ).

This time however, the single is out before the new album, so hopefully, she'll get to Number One. And she does deserve to I'm sure you'll agree after the amount of work she's put in.

5.0 out of 5 stars ONE OF POP'S FINEST 'ARTISTS' ...., 13 Aug 2003

By	Adam Teak Lagowski (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

There is a big difference between just being a 'singer' and being a true 'artist.' Dido does a lot than just sing (as if we all don't already know that). In today's music industry, so many artists aren't content with what they have accomplished in the past and decide to experiment with an array of genres. For some, the experiments are worth the trouble. In Dido's case, however, you simply can't fix something that isn't broken. White Flag is a hauntingly beautiful masterpiece that picks up where Dido's glorious debut album No Angel left off 4 years ago. Indeed, the wait has been agonizing. But, just one listen of White Flag is enough for me to forget about Dido taking so long to make a second album. Dido is so good that she became one of only a small handful of young UK music acts to be certified as a star in the U.S. Hopefully, American radio won't overlook the brilliance of White Flag. With all the garbage on U.S. radio right now, Dido and White Flag are going to be a nice change of pace (and quality).

5.0 out of 5 stars Never mind White Flag, what about 'Paris', 14 Sep 2003

By	Mike Woods - See all my reviews

What can I say! I think this is the first single I have ever pre-orderd before it was released. I head 'White Flag' on the radio and was captivated. It is a georgeous track. The remix is even better, minus the schmaltz, with a more grit and, erm, life. Dido is proving herself as a major artist, with serious staying power now and I hope there is much much more to come.
But anyway; on the single I got there is an extra track; 'Paris' which is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard. Sorry for being melodramatic but, really, I'd love to know the story behind it.
I dont know if the artists do ever read these (I know I would!) but, Dido, I dont know where it is coming from, but please dont get swallowed up by the industry, keep it real and keep it coming!
Thanks all
Mike
