Chuck, last night I was perusing @ some Van Morrison youtube videos. I came across this young lady, wow! She melted me all over; her entire aura, charisma, gestures, arms, hands, body language, emotional expressions of her face. She took over my soul! Her, and not the song and not her singing @ full steam per se. Her voice was like a fine cru aged right, but it's with the rest that it took more ampleur, higher proportion; viewing, seeing, in this case was more than just listening. And that's the power of images accompanying the sound, the voice.
When we're listening to music we have no pictures, just two loudspeakers and a music record playing, a tune from whatever source and in stereo.
But here the images speak volumes about LIVE. In the now, in the moment, in the here...absolute emotional power.
She didn't win. If you google her you can see more. But that one video just above is the total deal.
Nothing else from her compares to that one time shot video. It was total magic in that one instant.
I'm very glad you commented on it the way you did. Because that's exactly how I feel too, and I already re-watched it few times.
That performance brought everyone present in that hall together, and beyond, way beyond.
I hope more members here are going to click on it and take the time to watch her; they are in for a soul impact.
Trust me; click on that youtube video above, and watch it all; it's only 8:30 minutes long, but those minutes will last a long time.
