  • Hi, do you know where to get the guitar tabs for this song? I really want to learn to play this.

  • I am in the fuckin' shock. You are the most explosive blues bomb after Adam Gussow has appeared in the net. Never mind the vocal but harp is so close to the oryginal, it is oryginal.

    I am in a heavy shock!!! I am destroyed! I do not believe it is real.!

  • You have a really scary voice, but that is kind of why im back here. Your voice really caught my impression on me and caught my attention, keep at it!

  • its quite good, but if u think im giving u money u can FO; make ur own way

  • Very Cool , I would like to hear this again sung in French .

  • Hi Christelle, Yes very cool . I would like to hear you sing this in French.

  • if this is your voice, then it should be used on an anti-smoking add

  • Whatever works, and this certainly does. Help me with my harp! I'm missing something... and I just know if I get it I'll get good... Whatever people are saying about your voice, forget them. You're clear, smooth, and silky.

  • That''s some really nice licks!  Wish I could blow like that.

  • Awesome!!!!!!!!

  • I'm glad I checked this out, though it isn't what I expected I know I want to listen to more of your playing and vocals.

  • Que voz linda

  • I like your stuff, girl.  Great harp.

  • Its different and I dig it. too bad people just can't live and let live. Thanks for keeping the blues alive sister. Merci Madam lovin the blues

  • You can sing the blues to me anytime, darlin! And your harp is smokin!

  • The blues isnt in your accent , its in your soul

  • you're SO awesome. what a talent! good luck

  • A nice soud.

    Groetjes/ Greet  from Holland

  • i was looking forward to the youtube mix of this legend, and then you show up ? GTFO, and what are you doing with a mic ? you should be in the kitchen!!

  • @Lassedrustrup : I exactly share the first part of your comment. But this is up to youtube, and not to the lady who performs in a very special way.

  • Blues is NOT repeat NOT American It is universal. So you don't like the accent, and you don't think it goes with the blues. That's crap. Tell that to some of your own deep south French speaking neighbours, who sing and play great blues music, as well as Cajun. tell that to sonme of the great black blues muscians and vocalists, who appreciate ALL the blues. Get over yourself. This is one very talented lady, with a great voice and accent. You deserve to do well lady. x

  • cool!! you've got an amazing voice, wow! boy are you gifted!

  • strange voice

  • What a great voice!! what a grear harp player. I think i have seen all your videos and i love them all.... thanks for sharing your talent with the world!!! (i am colombian...). sorry for my english

  • Elp Me

  • Amazing!! Keep those comin :D

  • chris, don´t worry. looks like god used all his talent givin´ this guy 6 foot 5 & forgot to give him a pennis and a couple of balls. He probably would give his ass to somebody so he could play as good as you do.

  • leave it alone,it is what is is,music and song.its suposed to make you tap your feet,dont be so personal,no one else gets comments relating to sexuality or accent.if you can play or perform to this level,get some up,if not just enjoy or delete.most days if i listen to this woman play,i dont play for the rest of the day myself,i am humbled by her talent and style

  • Excellent cover of one of my all time favorites

  • fuck that ...change the beat i dont wanna  switch this up with sonny ..

  • You have a great raspy voice. Anyone who says anything about your voice. Most likely don't listen to blues music. I love your harmonica playing and your voice to match. :)

  • listen,my mother [6 ft. tall and a beautiful women RIP]sounded just like this and was teased ,ridiculed accused of having an alternative lifestyle as long as i can remember.also was formative in my music.i play harp.bought me my first.her voice was lower than yours.she noodled w/the drums and could hold her own.point is ,fuck the haters.love you.

  • Thats it...

    12points from Germany!!!

    I love you!!! Sebastian Germany /Hamburg

    

  • I so enjoy your talents! Thank you for sharing them with the world!

  • your voice is beautiful everything about this recording is superb, I don't have to compare you to anyone, you are simply great,

  • i think your voice has a nice oldtime texture to it....ive listened to all the old black blues greats....i like everything about you.....unfortuanately you must get a lot of flack from people out here....the dialogue is rather violent..he he....you seem to do it all in the eras of music and i love it.....

  • Well done baby!! Good luck and all good things.

  • What a stupid thing to say: Blues should stay American??? Music is a universal thing all people share, where Im from we have Notodden bluesfestival, Norwegian bands, and guests from all over the world, guess that is wrong too then...

    My opinion: people that write shit on youtube uploads when people share their talent are nothing more than jealous!!! Keep it up Chris!!!

  • cool cool cool man, im in love wit the chic**

  • well i thought you were lip syncing at first, no offense..... but that was sweet, I only care about good music, and that touched me,....

    thanks

  • Hm, caught a number of your videos t. (The jerk= fstape66 ) says something about

    Blues music staying American. Any one any colour ,race sex, has a right to freedom of expression.To play music they wish to play.

    It was the Brits that put Blues back on the map in the 60s. To the harp player here.

    Write your own stuff all of it. Don't do any covers.Tell your story.Do that and you will go far.

    The UK is where you will be plucked from obscurity.

    Remember YOUR STORY. Good luck

  • Christel, you are wonderful...great clear singing and hot downhome harp..please keep singing the Blues.. Best wishes.

  • The girls is singing? If is She, She kick ass! and is hot......

  • Comment removed

  • i rly like this only ur hair is kinda creepy

  • great...go girl!!!

  • you have a very masculan voice for a woman... also, nice touch with making your harmonica invisible!

  • you aint fooled me !!!

  • Actually, I'd say that it's precisely the low pitch of your voice and your accent which make the song fresh, interesting, and authentic. Blues is all about expressing emotional sincerity--for that reason you should always sound like yourself and not like you're imitating someone else. Great performance. I bet you'd sound amazing singing "Smokestack Lightning."

  • I like it...good!

  • Don't mind the purists, the best thing that could've happened to jazz/blues is for it to be appropriated by European and Oriental performers. The reinterpretation of existing material is what allows musical innovation, it's all just a matter of letting your baby get away from you to see where it goes on its own.

    American genres needed some European nihilism just to make them a bit more playful and less self-referential. We all live the blues sometimes, but we can't live the blues all the time.

  • Right, Ahem, Great Harmonica skills there are no doubt about your ability to play the harmonica. But why are you miming to your own song? Are you a woman because this is rather confusing....

  • @calumarthur1989 Ray Charles could tell this is a feller.

  • Genial, mejor imposible. Gracias Christellester

    Carlos

  • @Carli1948 Una voz inconmensurable, genial

  • this why blues should stay american, that accent is too much and that voice is deeper then mine and im 6 foot 5 baby....... ur harp skills are good though cant fight the fact you can deffinately blow

  • @TheFstapes66

    And this is why I'll continue to post some singing blues, to piss off some blues nazi like you. You've got NO videos to show, probably because you've got NO talent. On Youtube this is always the same story, people who bash the others have NOTHING to share besides their hate and anger, and you're no exception. Listen to Koko Taylor or Big Mamma these women have a deep voice as mine.

  • @christellester

    No need to reply to people who clearly have nothing constructive to bring to this channel other then immaturity !!!

  • @christellester There's nothing wrong with a little bass. Check out Nina Simone, a jazz singer whose wonderful voice can get lower than a man. I don't think the accent really matters if you've got the words right. Don't waste words on haters!

  • @christellester .. Go girl. You've got a wonderful blues voice and it fits your persona perfectly. Love the music combo on this video. May be your best offering so far, be proud dear one. I'm a huge fan of yours. William Wing.

  • @christellester excellent harp and great voice keep on posting love it

  • @christellester Felicitaciones,eres una gran artista y muy bella tambien.

    Saludos desde Chile

  • @TheFstapes66 I think its too weird. It's weirding me out!

  • @TheFstapes66 What you don't understand is that a failed lesbian relationship is just as painful as a fucked up relationship between a sensitive black Mississppi delta man with musical talent and his object of affection. In this piece, Christelle is using her voice (which is as powerful [and in tune] and just as much an instrument as any other blues singer) to articulate feelings we all share. Blues belongs to everyone.

  • @lomako man!!! let it goooo i dont care........... people put videos on youtube and enbale comments so they can hear opinions RIGHT!! i respect your opinion i just happen to disagree....... i still dont like the accent nor her voice just my opinion,,,,,, i love the blues nazi comment above^^ haha nazi maybe but i just dont like your style, im just gonna stick with the OG comment you got crazy harp skills!!! NOW I BID YOU A FUCK OFF, ALL THE WAY FROM GEORGIA!!

  • @TheFstapes66 You are an idiot. 6'5" you probably hit your head too many times on a door jam and that explains your brain damage.

  • @Barbarossa4U i was gonna think of some witty shit to say to this but i dont have the time..... so yeah your right!! because i dont like her music or voice.... or the way european blues artist portray american blues music.... im an idiot everyone, you nailed it!!

  • @TheFstapes66 You obviously have the time to respond so I am guessing you are too fucking stupid to write something witty. I know your type, people like you think by knocking someone else down that it makes you look better. It only makes you look like the ignorant asshole you are. If you can only write something shitty about others keep your comments to yourself. Karma is a bitch.

  • @Barbarossa4U what you talkin bout shitty comments and karma. i said i think blues should stay american im not the only one (im a blues purist) nothing wrong with it. get past that, her accent and her voice simply stating an observation i made i didnt say OH YOU SUCK, and i end my comment by complementing her harp skills. its just u people are so confrontational on this shit cuz its the only place u can be, u dont have to defend people on youtube cuz its the only place ur TUFF

  • @TheFstapes66 You are a blues purist? Oh dear, that's like saying you're a steak eating vegetarian....

  • Oh, my Goooooood!

    Thanks CHRISTELLESTER!

    Mw♥l♥ !

  • oh right, oh right now, nice!!!

  • Voçe é a maior.Amo sua voz e sua harmonica.Gostaria de vela aqui no Brasil.Beijos.

  • The only lady I know of that sings with more soulfulness is Sade. Probably because Sade records in the nude.

  • Very rich!

  • Very nice, Christelle! Vocals AND harp are excellent. Your voice is...compelling, gritty and sexy. Your appearance is much the same, except "gritty" doesn't apply. Best of luck...you have something special.

  • I see this is one of your old posts, Christelle, but it's great, I really like it.

  • it sounds like Nico singing, great  blues harp though,

  • ELP ME ! ! Very charming!!

  • C'est awesome. What a voice. Are you sure your not from Mississippi? You sound good here in Boston, Mass. Keep on keepin on.

  • little bit freaky of a cover song,but I like it, good luck

  • Sonny Boy was a handsome fellow but I like you much more! Very sexy!

  • Carry on, you are fantastic.

    I'm an extreme neophyte on the C diatonic, and I understand how good you are!

    Best!

  • Great harp playing, sister!

  • WOW- I'm shocked and Amazed. Kinda like the time I was out on a date, later on that evening, things were going well, so I reached into her pants and to my surprise, found a pair of balls!!! True story!!

  • I might have to wash!!

    I love it!!

  • Bravo!!!! Excellent! great voice!

    except  few times a little out of the tune....

  • I like it!

  • @peterkok18

  • show, show, show,,,,,,,,,,sem palavras,,,,,

  • Oh man - I've never quite heard such a curious voice as yours. Keep up the good work and it will pay off. You have the gift of a voice for the blues. I'm a harp player and I'd work with a voice like that any day.

    With rhythm & soul,

  • i like it and the idea for the cd keep up

  • muito ,muito mas muito bom!!!!!!!

  • I simmering!

    Sister you are the best!

  • i haven't heard anyone ever do justice to this song. Sonny Boy Williamson had a distinct style and was truly singing straight from his soul - You did a very decent turn on this tune - Good luck with your CD

  • November 2008 wow, You are like 30 times better now! When you think your CD will be already?

  • This is over the top ,, I truely loved listening .. Thank you for sharing your talent you are amazing..

    amie...o)

  • You are great...thanks for doing one of my all time favorites songs...good job!

  • you are all heart voice soul. you fucking rock.

  • i think your brilliant you can tell your playing on all your videos and you move to the right god dam holes, i don't think people check what your movements are where as im self teaching myself and i look closely at everyones tech's so i can prosper and hopefully one day be as ace.  can or have you played and sonny terry ? im finding it hard to pick up on his ways at chugging. many thanks for the videos hun

  • very good !

  • Very nice !!! Actually it is awesome..

  • MARAVILHOSO...UNICO...BSOS...

  • @christellester well I think you are very good. I think you are passionate about what you do. Keep at it

  • @christellester LOL did you find what I said to be evil and not peaceful ? Also > No, I don't really know if you are working 5 to 8 hours a day !

    Once again, YOU looked at what I said as an insult ! many people don't see that as an insult. I was just stating what I saw on my screen. Anyhow keep up the good work, I like listening to your music.

  • Ayayayayayay! :-) I know your harmonica skills (top level!!!), but i haven´t heard your singing yet :-) Very impressive! ;-) I don´t think it´s a deformity ;-) It´s a very special gift! :-) Look at that from this point of view ;-) I´m serious, no joke. Combination of your playing and your singing - it´s a heavy weapon! :-)

  • Wow - I love You! :-*

  • you look so hot!!!

  • Tu fais une magnifique interprétation de ce morceau que j'ai découvert grâce à Ten years after en 1974 dans leur double LP " Recorded live" ! ( je ne savais même pas à l'époque que ce chef d'oeuvre était de Sonny Boy ). Félicitations aussi pour l'harmonisiste. Quelle sensualité !

  • Bravo!!!! Arrrrrrrrrrrrr...!!!!

  • bonjour a toi j ai eu le plaisir de découvrir l harmonica grâce a tes vidéos merci c super j espere te voir sur scene un jour

  • You have very good blues voice,but i prefer to see you with harmonica.Spcial in ,,Take five,, and  ,,the sailor and the maid,,

  • Bonito, isso!

  • christellester....Your harp skills are STELLAR! I know that your French, do you also speak English fluently? The reason i ask is that your accent sounds a little too rigid and proper...A little "American southern slang" and "blues" go together like corn bread and fried chicken! Just a bit of constructive criticism..love your harp style! How long have you been playin'?

  • C'est un super morceau, je l'avais en CD dans ma vie d'avant, excellent! T'as la voix grave, je chantais exactement dans ce genre là à mes débuts, hyper grave, du blues texan ZZTOP tu connais :°)

  • Oui je vois le genre, en fait cette vidéo date déjà un peu et je faisais des essais, je ne suis pas chanteuse pas deux secondes

  • @christellester 

    Is this really your real voice? I do not believe a second ... I am a singer! and I have observed your movements with your mouth and you do not follow at all and more, so you glue the microphone over your mouth to camouffler that it's not you singing really .... if you want to draw attention to this by my dear, you are very you better find another way!

    No hard feelings

    Danyelle, alias Stephenie :-)

  • @TheDanyeElle

    Give me your Skype Name and I'll show you....Funny that you've commenting on the movement of the lips, your videos are not convincing at all on that point;....By the way, I've got 248 videos, there's 10 of the where I sing, and I've got more than 5 millions clicks on my videos, so I don't see the point of FAKING something

  • by the way I've made a take 2 of this song and you'll see that's my voice as well...

  • Amazing!!! You got to help me I can't do it all by myself You got to help me, baby I can't do it all by myself You know if you don't help me darling I'll have to find myself somebody else I may have to wash I may have to sew I may have to cook I might mop the floor But you help me babe You know if you don't help me darling I'll find myself somebody else...
  • love it. 5*

  • christelle, listening to you inspired this harp tribute...you hit me in the heart every time. Sonny Boy Williams He brought the harp To his lips as if He was making love to it, The heat that poured out Rocked his body and Shuffled his feet. Head rocking with the rhythm His soul flew through the reeds And hit me right in the heart. Mikie 12/28/09
  • You DO sound almost like a guy! I thought you were lip syncing(however that's spelled), but please believe when I say, I REALLY liked it! lol! I bet Janis Joplin heard similar comments early on. . . Sweetheart- your voice is NO deformity to be hidden, but a rarity to be discovered and shared! You've got a fan in me, and I would like to hear more if you don't mind. HARP ON HONEY!

  • fantastic!!!!t one of the most greats voices of the world

  • Names like Victoria Spivey, Big Mama Thornton, Brenda Bella or Mamie Smith are coming to my mind when listening to you. I think you know that's a compliment.

  • @velvethammer41

    Ouais j'aimerai bien entendre comme tu chantes toi ... :(

  • Comment removed

  • Ouahhh excellent ... son et voix sont parfaits ... meme la partie harmo je l'avais jamais entendu comme ca ....

    Bravo ... continue

  • merci pour ton commentaire, peut -être qu'un jour j'aurais moins honte de ma voix

  • Ah ben moi avec une voix comme ca j'aurais pas honte ... je serais fier ...

    Pis tu as pas choisi n'importe lequel de morceaux ... bravo

  • marvelous

  • je suis scotché par cette voix...!!!

    truc de ouf...!!

    BRAVO ET MERCI...

  • So cool

  • Respect  Princesse.j'ai vraiment cru que c'etait Sonny Boy

  • Tout simplement FORT, j'adore...!!!!!

  • hehe realy funny :D

  • Excellent voice, what a surprise !

  • Hello there , I believe this song is one of my favorites. You do such a good job. I want you to do more like this style. I've been looking and listening for a while, Your great. Love to hear you Hoyt

  • you are awesome , !! touchs the spot ! Amazing XXX Thank you XXX

  • Forty years ago, people said Timi Yuro's voice was more like a boy's than a girl's. Ignore people. They were wrong then too. This is a wonderful video. Your voice has wonderful power and you can carry a ton of emotion with it. Do it again!

  • I think I shared a jail cell with you once.

  • and the tiny second at the 2:30 second is making me blush

  • incredibe, i still find this incredible, i get so much joy when i listen this, and the girl so pleased about the music,she makes me happy,

  • You re so cool~your voice is perfect!

    This is kick ass!!!!

  • ..... you look so happy doing this ... why not do more songs with your super harp ??

  • I think you are pretty cool

  • It´s a wonderful new side from you. I like it ;o)

  • Is it you playing harp in this vid? What do you think about blues in French? Your own tong gives you an easiness in singing and in selling us your emotions. French is strange in rock, only.

  • It's different. I like it. Great job !

  • Having been what you French refer to as a southern redneck all of my life, listening to a SBW song with a French accent is quite amusing. Very good, but still makes me smile. You should move to Louisiana for a while. You'd be a hit in New Orleans.

  • nice nice....u `ve the feeling..u rules

  • this is my kind of w

  • right on you sweet thing

  • Nice job Christellester!!! I like it. I like it!

  • this is great. a little bit whacky but shit its good

  • You're pretty, girl, nice face.

    I thought for a moment it was Sonny playing, but... I admit I was confused. Sonny's tone is much sadder than that harmonica. Great job.

  • I'm so confused.

  • Amaizing, could you send me the tablatura to harmonica and de letrra of that great song. Thanks

    I can`t belive but it´s true. You play pretty good the harp.

  • Your harp playing rocks!!!!!!!!!

  • Superbe! C'est drôle hearing someone sing the blues with a strong French accent, mais j'aiaiaime your harpplaying.

  • coño de pinga pero eres ella o el esta conplicado eso
