Look, Maxwell's great and all, but Kate's in a completely different category. I remember an anecdote from Elton John. He threw a party and everyone was there, David Bowie, Freddie Mercury and all the big people of the time. KAte had been out of the public eye for a few years and when she walked in, it's like nobody else was even in the room. The cream of the cream of the musical world only wanted to talk to her.

She's the queen. A true uncompromising artist. Visionary. Unique. Her videos are works of art. Some of her songs tear at your soul. They are both simple and complex at the same time. Nothing she does has a "sellout" vibe. Nothing she does is typical or predictable. She insisted that "Wuthering Heights" to be her first single, even though it's a very odd song in many ways. She was right. She's a legend.

Kate Bush is a genius!!! She sings from the HEART and it's from a woman's view. Each time I cry. "This Woman's Work" was featured in the movie "She's Having a Baby" with Kevin Bacon and Elizabeth McGovern (1988) and just recently "A Man Name Otto" with Tom Hanks.

Her voice is so hauntingly beautiful.

Honestly, at the time in 1978, Americans weren't ready - or sophisticated enough - for theatrical rock/pop songs like this. I was in college and remember some frat guys laughing at her tv appearances. Rolling the Ball was sort of, "What are we seeing here?" We thought she was in her 30 or 40s (not 19yo) and from theater or opera. There wasn't any marketing for her or her albums, nothing on radio, so we had no idea who she was. I'm so so SO sorry but I am trying to explain why she never really "crossed over" where I was in Calif. during those years of 1978 thru the 80s. Even her song, Running up that Hill I'm ashamed that I thought it was a Madonna song. But blame the way we heard music which was only on radio, I mean before MTV dominated music.

The artistry, the ethereal quality, the depth but somehow remaining so light.... Yeah Kate Bush wins this one.

Unique et sa créativité . beaucoup ce sont inspirés d ' elle dans sa gestion a resté indépendante et etre libre de créer son art en prenant son temps tout en disparaissant pour un temps et revenir avec encore et toujours un chef d' œuvre quelqu'un a dit ce qui est rare est précieux kate Busch est rare et précieux pour fes millions de fans depuis plus de 45 ans et ca ne changera pas

The emotion in Kates voice is far and above what Maxwell could do. This can only come from being the one who wrote the song.

The only thing I have'nt seen commented on is she writes the lyrics and the music, she plays instruments, she choreographs but also she choreographs bearing in mind the impact it has on her voice, she is a genius, and her lyrics have onion layers that you can't understand until you study them, very deep and important themes that are ageless.
