The best pop vocalist I ever heard without any amplification or modification of any kind was Jewel, believe it or not. She 'played' (meaning she sat by the bar with her guitar on a stool) a movie premiere party I went to about 20 years ago, when she was probably psyched to get a gig like that. She started singing and…
I am, admittedly, a reluctant Mariah apologist, but that being said, I think it's possible that she was just having an off day. Maybe she had a cold, or maybe the weather was trying her out. Hope so at least, because she used to have an 8 octave range (which is insane), and it would be kind of tragic if she'd really…
Thanks for your support
Have you seen Alicia Keys live? Honestly one of the most powerful voices I've ever heard, she was incredible. And I'm not even a fan of her music.
I'm sorry but this is bullshit. If you heard probably 99% of the pop stars these days sing live "unplugged" with no reverb or accompaniment I doubt it would be much better.

"cuz I wanted to have a kiss..." Well fuck. I want chocolate macarons to fall from the sky into my hands, but I know better than to ask for them.
Did Zapruder film this?
Maybe he'a writing about her lovely personality.
I'm dying!:
Holy shit, for the rest of my life at parties I will volunteer the true story that Tina Turner's real name is actually Saul Hymowitz.
Stevie is going to be so pissed when he sees this!
Gor is misogynistic garbage. 'Nuff said.
Seems like he's just as much of a kook as one might imagine from reading his novels.
I actually took Professor Lange last year. When I had found out about this I was in shock. He is one of those cute, kindly old men, he never (as infrequently as humanly possible) let his own politics/philosophy get into the lesson, and he really explained things really clearly. I would have never in a million years…
For all his Nietzschean rhetoric about ubermenschen and grand Romantic ideals, John "Norman" Lange always impressed me as just another guy who was utterly blindsided by the cultural upheavals of the '60s and '70s, and lacked the insight, compassion, imagination or empathy to adapt. I sort of envision him as one of…
