about

"Sushi Queen" was the song that initially generated a lot of buzz about Michelle. In October of 1999, "Sushi Queen" was chosen by the editors at Rollingstone.com as their #1 pick of the month. In August of 2000, "Sushi Queen" was chosen as garageband.com’s third winner- Garageband.com was a “best of the unsigned bands” website where the winner was determined by the reviews of music listeners who listen to the songs randomly from a database of over 15,000 songs.

lyrics

I don't believe what he said to me
He's in love with a Sushi Queen
And you can pretend it doesn't bother me
But I can never sleep, peacefully

How did it come to be that my jealousy
Has tainted all my reality
Have you ever seen such a sad sad girl like me
Jealousy, Sushi Queen brings to me

She's your savior, she's so beautiful
She's an angle with an alligator six inch heel on me
She swims so sweet, she knows I'm weak, she straddles me, And you know....

How did it come to be that my jealousy
Has tainted all my reality
Have you ever seen such a sad sad girl like me
Jealousy, Sushi Queen brings to me

And I don't know how I'll ever make her bleed
Sushi Queen has got a hold on me
Every little thing she says is sure to bring me down
Can anybody save me from her regal crown

How did it come to be that my jealousy
Has tainted all my reality
Have you ever seen such a sad sad girl like me
Jealousy, Sushi Queen brings to me

about

Michelle Cross Chicago, Illinois

Michelle is a musician and artist based in Chicago. Sprinkled with classical influences and firmly supported by strong vocals, Cross’s songs tend to have a darker, moodier feel to them. At times, there is a lot of aggression and rhythm in her piano playing, yet even at its most gentle moments her powerfully emotional and melodic piano-based songs have caused listeners to sit-up and pay attention. ... more
