Most of you don´t know her(of course), but it would be cool if you give her a listen and share your opinion in this thread.

Lucie Bílá (born April 7, 1966 as Hana Za?áková) is a Czech pop singer. With a powerful, distinctively intense voice and impressive range, she is one of the most famous and celebrated female artists in Czech Republic history.

Bila's first experiences with show business were as a member of the rock bands Rock-Automat and Arakain. In 1980, she was noticed by Czech music producer Petr Hannig, who created her stage name Lucie Bílá (literally, Lucy White) and penned her first recorded songs. Interestingly, her name change was originally due to confusion with another famous Czech singer, Hana Zagorová. For over three decades, Bílá has had tremendous professional success among Czechs in a broad range of endeavors, starring in the best-known stage musicals in the country, releasing several popular solo albums, and starring in several films and television specials. For several years in a row in the 1990s she topped the list of the most popular Czech singers in the coveted Cesky Slavik awards.

Cesky Slavik (Czech Nightingale)
1996 - 2004 - Golden
2005 + 2006 - Silver
2007 - 2010 - Golen
(altogether 13 Golden + 2 Silver)

One of her most popular song Carodejka (Witch) and personally my favourite song from her

Broken-hearted-women anthem eSeMeS, became popular ´cos of "spicy" lyrics :

"I have only "now" and no "future"
you ran me over like a truck
even though it is gloomy
I will sweep up your feelings into an urn!
I don't whimper like a dog
I engrave an SMS into your headstone
"Darling, sleep calmly...
Go to hell if you don't love me!"

and finally her signature song Laska Je Laska (Love Is Love) ... back in 1993 it was a very provocative lyrics and video, it was also censored because of "people doing sexual activities in public places". Also the lyrics "love is love, when boys date girls, love is love, when boys date boys and girls date girls" was not very welcomed. For example my mum still hates this song

I´m happy that you like the album ! But that is nothing when you compare it to her live performaces ...

Yeah, she has a very strong voice, I remember she made a little problems at one awards, because they did not expect her to shout while taking her award there is basically noone having a voice like she does.

I loved when she was performing and she said :

"I noticed you are making a pic of me when I sing. So please, before you check them be sure that I am fine, all right and healthy."
