“Anybody my age turning on MTV and seeing Annie Lennox sing ‘Sweet Dreams,’ that was enough right there,” says Matchbox Twenty singer Rob Thomas of the former singer of the Eurythmics. Thomas cites her vocal variety as the key to her greatness. “When she does stuff like ‘No More I Love Yous,’ she gets this ethereal Sarah McLachlan-esque kind of thing that just sounds like a beautiful angel. And then she can switch over the sound of her voice and make it sound like she’s gargling glass. And so many people can’t do that,” he says.
