[edit] Heroes Soundtrack

If you take a look at the

page you'll notice one of her songs listed on the soundtrack, but i don't see any mention of it on this page. Someone with some half decent wirting skills should do it :) 70.49.174.3 (talk) 18:18, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Six Feet Under

"She also appeared on the second soundtrack for the HBO television series Six Feet Under, entitled Six Feet Under, Vol. 2: Everything Ends, with a 50-second track that closed a season four episode, entitled "I'm A Lonely Little Petunia (In An Onion Patch)" (three versions were recorded and are available from Heap's official web site), a nursery rhyme that the matriarch, Ruth, had sung to her children, and which they had sung to her son, Nate's, child, Maya, in the episode."

Don't even try to tell me that makes any sense whatsoever. Would someone like to explain and/or fix? Thorns Among Our Leaves 02:49, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Completely right, made almost no sense at all. I fixed it.

[edit] Tracks For TV & Films

It states that Imogen was invited by Hans Zimmer to his Los Angeles recording studio to sing vocals on a new film he’s scoring called The Holiday. But on her website (http://www.imogenheap.com/) it states "As you may know, Immi features not once but twice in new movie 'The Holiday'. Immi-songs in the film include 'Let Go' from Frou Frou's 'Details' album and 'Just For Now' from Immi's own 'Speak For Yourself'." To me it sounds as if she was creating something new when she wasn't, so shouldn't we change it and list the songs.203.88.244.23 06:50, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Pronunciation

How does one pronounce her name? Hyacinth 20:16, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

I think: "im" as in him without the h; "o" as in oh!; "gen" as in GENeration. And then heap like Heep, I guess.
Good question...but I think it's pronounced: ihm-oh-jean
It's pronounced Em (the letter M) oh (like "Oh dear!") gin (like the drink). Em-oh-gin. And Heap like a pile of stuff. Fllmtlchcb 17:32, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
sigh Why does no one sign their responses? I was at her show about a week ago, and it was pronounced IM (him) - O (oh!) - GEN (generation). Just like the first guy answered. My best shot at writing it phonetically would be ihm-o-jen. JeffyP 15:43, 13 June 2006 (UTC)
It was certainly one of my first questions. Should this go in the article? — Coelacan | talk 02:52, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
It has been added. Fllmtlchcb 19:41, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
Someone edited her pronounciation to make it incorrect. Here is a link of a man saying her name; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CTYd3khhcuw&search=imogen%20heap%20interview Fllmtlchcb 18:51, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
It's pronounced like "imma-jean". Lizzy 21:52, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
"ihm-o-jen" is correct, as the first person stated. Forget "jean" at the end. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Stephenjh (talk • contribs)

[edit] Needs Organization

There's hardly any organization on this page, no headers, bolded text, etc. It's like a wall of text.


After reading this article, just thought I'd mention that perhaps some parts seem a little un-encyclopeadia-like? Not quite sure the exact Wiki-rule to quote here but sentences like "Due to her bad experiences with record labels in the past", isn't exactly citeable information. If it is, then a quote would be better.

[edit] B-Rating

I've rated this article a B in accordance to the rating procedure. While this article certainly has a considerable amount of information, it still needs much organization before it can be upgraded to GA. I'll see what I can do myself later on. JeffyP 21:53, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

The article reads really well now, is interesting, has good citations, and much in terms of references. I was wondering if I could nominate it for "good article," but I don't know how to do that...
Simon 13:38, 8 September 2006 (UTC)
  • I agree, and I've put it up for GA nomination.JeffyP 08:19, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Real Name?

I read somewhere that Imogen Heap was not her real name, does anyone know what that would be? Stephenjh

Imogen Heap is her real name. Snoopydance 23:04, 8 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Canadian Vandal

Our Candian vandal "67.70.160.133" has been busy [1], can he be blocked? How does one go about t reporting that?

[edit] GA information

I've failed this mostly due to the lack of any citations whatsoever. While you may have used some magazines and fansites for the information, it's best to use reliable sources and cite them properly to get an article up to snuff. It's a great start, but needs a lot of work. I'd also double check whether the images fit under the Wikipedia fair use requirements. Good luck! --badlydrawnjeff talk 20:32, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] what imms been up to lately

She is currently been writing songs for her album in places such as Fiji, Maui and Tasmania thus far. Also she has gotten an email from Zach Braff, who asked her to write a song. just need someone to update the article —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 203.122.77.23 (talk) 11:13, 9 April 2007 (UTC).

[edit] Tracks For TV and Films, again.

That pararaph still looks messy, even after I tried to break it up a little. Any chance we can remove it and list all the tracks in the "Discography" section? Inkbottle 18:54, 10 April 2007 (UTC)

Why is there a weird line about her marriage in the middle of the TV tracks section? Someone has just stuck that in there, it clearly wasn't there in the original discussion. Sorry, I know nothing about Wikipedia, but that struck me as malicious, even if it is true.

[edit] Where is she from?

i really don't think that she is from romford in london i swear shes from essex. but im not sure it needs clearing up

[edit] Hide and Seek

It's not done on a Vocoder. It's using an Electro Harmonix Polyphonic Octave Generator, usually used to make organ sounds on a guitar and stuff like that. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kittie Rose (talk • contribs) 03:12, 14 December 2007 (UTC)
