| Face Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 61 Posts: 3941 | Shout to JR for bringing along my girl Patsy =) Weird thing about me, I like / enjoy almost no female singers whatsoever. I can surely spot talent. Aretha is a GD goddess. Carey, much as I despise every bit of her being, has a spooky range found only in machinery and computer programs. Legit alien, her range is. And who doesn't cry at Whitney's rendition of the Anthem? But I think, much like romance, there needs to be more than just a small area of perfection to make a whole "thing", and I just don't feel "character" in these offerings. Aretha I can accept I just missed the boat and don't "get it", but from Mariah to Aguilera, all I hear is empty platitudes, manufactured soul, and a whole bunch of processed crap. Lauren Hill. She's the only woman I can bring up her whole life's works, hit "shuffle" and let it roll for the rest of the entire week. Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it. |

Last Christmas, my daughter requested vinyl for Christmas and gave me a couple of crappy titles to get her, so I did some research. She was going through a breakup so I got her "Blue". Phenomenal. I had never listened to Joni Mitchell in detail except for "Bobby McGee" and a couple of her other hits, but that songwriting and vocals on the album blew me away. |

Thanks for bringing Joni to the table. Big Yellow Taxi Chelsea Morning And yes, Send in the Clowns Didn't know.she ever covered Bobby McGee. She's an original for sure. Never doubt a small group of concerned citizens can change the world; it's the only thing ever has |

To me, that is the great joy I find in YouTube - finding great talents that are relatively unknown. I'm going to try your recommendation. Here's one more from me: A singer named Jacintha. I'm constantly shocked to find relatively unknown people with such a high level of talent. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xdalt-QkASE&list=PLa4wcs3yJTlOoVevHKAH58Zs8SmeXIWQf&index=2 The Truth is like Poetry.

| FallawayJumper Member since: Feb 18, 2018 Threads: 4 Posts: 21 | I enjoy finding the unknowns this Romanian girl - Sanziana - did this stuff on Romania's version of American Idol several years age I believe she was only 15 or 16 when she appeared - she totally blew me away - since then she's pretty much disappeared I'd like to hear your opinion on her covers of the these 2 classic songs maybe a little overly dramatic on "Cry" - that's okay - I forgive her for that - more straightforward in "Look of Love" The Truth is like Poetry.

I was there Alfreda Gerald guesting with the Warren Haynes band At about 5 min, Alfreda is set loose and they go back and forth, Warren's guitar vs Alfreda's voice. wow What a set of pipes Sometimes we live no particular way but our own - Grateful Dead "Eyes of the World" |

Her blind audition was 5 Oct. 2013 She was runner up in the finals to this young man Caruso is such an incredible song that her choice of a more popular number may have done her in with some classical lovers |
