Come on, isn't Debbie Harry getting a bit long in the tooth?
Her sound has never had any appeal for me as I find her voice kind of thin.

Appropriately out of focus. And her voice IS thin. Why was she ever popular? Must have been advertising. Well, Willie is still at it at 84.
The more air that resonates, the richer and fuller the voice sounds. If the tongue is raised high in the mouth, as it usually is in a thin voice, then it takes up more room.
A serious question. Do you think that Debbie Harry's mouth looks like her tongue is raised high in her mouth? Maybe it has something to do with her aristocratic slanting incisors? Do people's looks have any bearing on their voice and how they sound when they sing?
Originally posted by SuzianneAmericans and British speakers (for example) differ over this plural/singular thing with 'groups' like "Blondie" and "Chelsea" and "my family". In British English, the plural is used more frequently than in American English.
And, btw, it should be "Blondie IS back."
Talking about the band as a unit, it is singular, and takes a singular verb.
