LOVE THE SOUND

OF YOUR OWN VOICE, IS THAT NOT WHAT IT IS?

Chris Martin from Coldplay is right into the sound of his voice and grimace.

Saturday Night Live hosted Coldplay. The band is shut down to a muted 1910 Fruitgum Company tinkle. Pectoralz originally, Chris displays pecs and arms.

Oh My Lord does he ever get emotionally into his acting as he vocalizes. Do I remember correctly that Chris originally thought of fronting a band as an actor.

I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT JAN ARDEN WAS TERRIBLE, VIRTUALLY WITHOUT ANY REDEEMING QUALITY IN GENRE, PERFORMANCE OR APPEARANCE

I have written and spoken about how hard it is to do a quality recording or video without the expensive equipment and technicians. That has changed lately it seems as I phones are used to create credible sound and video recordings.

The working from a bare bones studio setup requires a good and mistake free performance and you have to get the pitch and cadewhich nce and vocal range right.

Jan Arden has a YouTube performance with the Vocal not on key and there is an audible straining as she attempts to pitch together with the music which is also no particular Bowl of Cherries.

Jan Arden was inducted into The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame recently which makes me very dubious about how this happens.

SHAKIRA AT THE SUPERBOWL

I WILL NOT POST ANY PICTURES, GOOGLE SHAKIRA   AT THE SUPERBOWL LIV HALFTIME SHOW IN 2020.

I was incredibly impressed with Shakira's dance performance. The skipping about to music does not come easily. The obvious physical conditioning was surpassed by the seemingly effortless dance moves, none of the silly running around; that woman danced every moment with grace and energy and flawless following of the changing musical rythyms, except for the pelvic thrusts.

Shakira's vocal was really good, she can sing that is for sure; I rarely say this. 

I could not find any flaw or lacking with the Bands except for the goofy Rapper. 

Amidst all of that perfection I winced at the overemphasized pelvic thrusting and squatting or whatever, I knew it would prompt some people to detract from the performance because of crass pelvic pumping. 

I panned Taylor Swift for vulgar open legged squats which were clumsy and unattractive and grosser than the Jay Lo and Shakira squats. None of the Squats really fitted in with the music and choreography. 

I found many of Shakira's and a few of Jay Lo's dance routines very attractive and feminine and sexy but that is not what really stuck with me about the performance. I have not Rollerbladed for years now but I bet the wide open dancing feels like rollerblading. It must be so cool to be able to dance like Shakira does. I am mostly critiquing Shakira`s dance, when I listen and view again I will pay more attention to the Music and the Vocals and to Jay Lo also.

The Shakira dance performance was so perfect, so strong and so accurate. I am going to watch the half time show again as entertainment, it is a different experience when you view a performance as a critic rather than as an audience.

 OK, I WILL POST ONE WIDE PICTURE OF THE STAGE
