IED agrees with Scott Telford that it sounds like Kate's own voice
doing the "male" backing vocals on Rubberband Girl. 

IED doubts that there is any clear connection between Eat the Music
and the movie The Red Shoes.  There is certainly a close connection, 
however, between Eat the Music and The Song of Solomon.  Both the
imagery and the theme are similar.

Btw, The Red Shoes (movie, 1947) begins and ends with stylized images
of candlesticks -- in the first the candle-flame is tall and bright, in
the second, a single candle sputters in its candlestick.  N.B. Kate's 
choice of Candle in the Wind, her use of the candle as a symbol for
the departed Alan Murphy in the Rocket Man video, and the inclusion of
candles on the piano, next to a pair of red shoes, during her
performance of Moments of Pleasure on the Aspel show last June. The 
use of the image as a symbol for death -- or more accurately, as a 
memorial for the dead -- is consistent in all of these cases.
