Obvious flirty banter between the two that could have caused some insecurities and temptations that neither spouses thought healthy for their marriages I can dig it. Heck, watchin' them sing Billy Jean with my wife on our 55" and then leading to other renditions and songs almost got me into trouble. Thank god we have a healthy relationship because she say's, "Nope. I would leave your ***," and on that we agreed. She then goes and does her thing as I shed a tear while I continued watching the video....{Note: I also catch her watching Civil War videos in the evening on her I-pad while I'm upstairs rockin' to U2. lol.} 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will invest in this one Claude, I already have 8 of her albums and they are pretty much well recorded Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a "must see," just to gauge the responce from the judges and the audience. So I watched that video, clicked on another one and on and on. Before I knew it I had sat here for hours watching videos of people who really surprised and shocked the judges, its funny when they are way better than expected. I don't watch these shows so I didn't know what to expect, it's funny when a 8, 10 14 year old walks out and sounds like an adult and does have talent. Many of these people should make all the new wave of "autotune stars" of today worry. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After recent acquisition of Jennifer Warrnes Famous Blue Raincoat I find myself wanting more female vocals of the same type quality. I often hear different folks here speak fondly of female vocals and so here I am asking whom you all think stands out in the crowd. I have some Adele, Patricia Barber, and Diana krall and while they are good I frankly feel like they pale in comparison. Could be I obviously have not heard a great recording by any of them Strange how ones musical tastes change over the years................... Lol, Well, have you received enough leads yet in your desire to explore more feminine talent? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teaman Posted June 23, 2018 Share Posted June 23, 2018 I have been pretty much bored with male vocalists since the turn of the century. To my ears most sound the same. I needed something more. I found there are so many female vocalists with good range and talented musicians to be found just on Youtube. Take an afternoon and search any female singer you like on Youtube and they will refer similar singers for you. Pandora does much of the same. It's a fun way to find the hidden gems.

No: I was unaware there was a limit, I enjoy exploring as much talent as folks care to share. I cant say I enjoy having to explain the obvious to those who apparently have nothing helpful to add. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim I am in a very rural part on NC and my internet consists of Satellite. Streaming is not an option. Of the Youtube or ? Video links / posts I simply google the name and look for albums. I Miss FM radio from back in the day when they would play new music and tell you who the talent was. Progress Ehhh............. Thanks to all those that have posted, though I may not call out names I am looking at most of the suggestions, some of which I already have and they were hidden in the pile of some 1200 or so Cds 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you said you have all Diana Krall albums but I must say Wallflower is IMHO pretty damn good I dont typically like covers but Diana does some nice work on this album Another cover by another female singer comes to mind Cat Power, doing Patsy Clines She's Got You Is high on my list of likes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
