Okay, Melanie's voice is unique, and let me tell you, her ever-changing hair color is so cool. How about her songs you ask? Her songs tackle topics that are happening every day or something that people experience. There's a lot of metaphors and whatnot in every song. And if you watch her music videos, they show something out of a bubbly-happy-rainbow dream but the song contrasts to its music video. I like the creepiness in her songs because i'm all about that creepy vibe. Another thing i like to talk about is her album, Cry Baby.
Basically, it is about this character that, as Melanie says, is herself. She called her Cry baby. And this album is about how Cry baby started as being the cry baby she is and as it ends she becomes this strong creepy little girl. But being kidnapped by an ice-cream man and poisoning him (Milk and Cookies) didn't happen to Melanie in real life, just sayin' in case you're worried.
But don't get fooled by the titles of her songs in this album, they sound like something a child may talk about but if you listen, it may probably shock you, because that's what happened to me.
I think everyone can relate to her songs. I'm a cry baby myself so i totally understand what Cry baby experienced (Cry Baby), and another one of her songs, she tells the story of how "perfect" her family is (Dollhouse) or what their neighbors think of them. And because of plastic surgery being "in" she asks someone if is it worth changing your appearance (Mrs. Potato Head).

The whole album is basically the life story of Cry baby, see for yourself folks.
Overall, i love the album and if only i'm not broke i would've bought that vinyl and play it on my nonexistent vinyl player :P .
