Proud Mary - Anastacia, Lulu, Chaka Khan Usher Hall Edinburgh

[DamienNova]

Seems like Italy is really out of touch if they dont know who Chaka Khan is, Cause 90% of America doesnt know who Anastacia is. Chaka and Anastacia are both stars but to compare the two is ridiculous. Chaka khan has rubbed elbows with Prince, Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie and was making hits when Anastacia was in diapers. This is not a fair fight. Lets just accept them both as megastars, move on and just enjoy the damn video.

[xbluerayx]

@DamienNova Anastacia has sung with Micheal Jackson , Elton John , Pavarotti ,

Queen , Heart , wyclef jean , Beyonce , mary j blige the list goes on and on and on She has sung for James Brown and indeed Meet the Queen and the real Prince of England . It seems it is you that is a little out of touch and I am from the UK .

And I adore Chaka Khan and have been a fan for years but the main reason I parted with my money was to see Anastacia perform she is just great Live .

[houseparty2k7]

I looked on wiki for their setlist and it said there were 2 acts with different songs. Do they do both acts at their concert? I'm going to see it next week!

[TheFreakyliciousClan]

Yes there are 2 acts! And yes they do both acts! Really awesome! You will never forget!! :)

At which show you will go?

[houseparty2k7]

:D its gonna be good :)

I'm going to see them in Plymouth on Sunday =]

[Drakkartyrannis]

We can all agree that Anastacia is amazing. She's one of the last vocal powerhouses out right now..and that's an elite clique (Which Chaka is a part of). To be honest I can't understand why she's not known here in the states. It's a damn shame. Ana needs to come shut these U.S. "divas" down. Chaka + Anastacia= Untouchable

[BiggestLuluFan]

they are awesome! chaka is amazing - no question, shes really a legend and has a great voice, but ana is awesome too! ok shes not known all over the world, but shes also very successful and is loved by so many people from europe and of course there are people from the usa too! you know! but dont forget lulu! she is on stage since she was at the age of 15! we think all three are amazing! they belong together and we hope it will come more shows! lulu made the right decision to call ana and chaka!

[xbluerayx]

comeon6 You are doing Chaka more harm than good by coming across as a total nutter fan . Anastacia is much loved

and is a Awsome singer . She loved the world over . The US is not center of the universe all I can say is unless you have seen Anastacia Live you can't really comment . And I hate to brake it to you but Chaka is very rarely played on the radio in the UK and some people don't know who she is . I do and I love her and can't wait to see her but the main draw for me is Anastacia .

[comeon6]

Chaka is RECIEVEING A TRIBUTE in Malaysia THSI YEAR!!! For her contributions to music...R they tributing Anastacia.. HELL NAW!!!!! When people do Pop Idols across seas and stuff...What do you always her?? Chaka songs...Anastacia is NO ONE compared to Lengendary Chaka Khan...Anastacia music isn't even played across the air BARELY in the U.S. If AT ALL!!!! Chaka is HUGE IN BOTH PLACES!!! Is Ana??? NOPE! While yall have your little Ana moments, just amke sure you know TRUTH when it's THERE!! TRUTH

[comeon6]

Fuck all yall Chaka haters...You keep loving your little youngin' Anastacia that no one knows...because they last time I check...She did the Umbria Jazz Fest in Italy last year, and the shit was sold out...Chaka is a legend..The FUCK about what you think...Chaka has the dues and the warads behind her shit...We ain't talking based on what the fuck yall think...The people who gives tributes has represented Chaka as a lengend...Who the FUCK is Anastacia to Chaka?? NO ONE!! Shut yall dumb ass UP!!!!

[Anastecio]

You are simply riddicle! Don't talk about italy, because here, no one knows who chaka is...

[xbluerayx]

A N A S T A C I A is the best for me .

End of story. And no matter what you offer up you can't change peoples minds.

Chaka is Amazing.

But I Have ears, I have a Brain , and as much as I love Chaka I Have forked out £40 a ticket to see Anastacia because of her Voice and Personality . If it was Chaka I would see her if the ticket was £20 and Lulu I would probably have never seen her Live, but I have always been impressed with her voice . To have all three on stage is wonderful .

[chakafan2]

Chaka is the most celebrated, decorated and honored singer out of the 3. She's the best singer of the 3. But, maybe I'm biased :)

[Anastecio]

ahahahahah funny....

[gruvieguy]

Grow up everyone.

[csifann1]

Damn! Clicked on posting comment too early xDD LOL

anyway, how I was saying ....

Get over it, it won't change people's opinion if you say Chaka's the legend, Anastacia and Lulu can't be compared to her!! It's a waste of time, IMO!!!!

[paddeyOmalley]

whether they agree or not it doesnt matter...what matters is they know what Chaka's made of..some just tends to overlook the underlying quality.

[csifann1]

I'm so freakin' sick and tired of this arguments! Seriously people, just stop it!!!

Chaka, Anastacia, Lulu whatever ... They are together now, so there's no need to have this kind of arguments because he/she says that he/she thinks Anastacia/Chaka/Lulu is the best!

Get over it, it won't change people's opinion

[xbluerayx]

LULU has been in the buisness for 48 years she is an actress a singer song writer and even has an OBE from the Queen . Anastacia has sung with all the Greats just check her out singing with Pavarotti, She has sold millions of albums despite suffering from chrons disease from the age of 13 and battling Cancer at 34 . Anastacia raised over a million dollars for Cancer . In most peoples books her voice her attitude to life makes her a true Legend .

[xbluerayx]

Cameron you said "News flash...people in the US doesn't even KNOW who Anastacia is...Sorry, this is truth..."

Who cares! Anastacia is known world Wide she has won many awards even the world music award for best female singer . Just because she is not as well known in the US does no mean she is less of a singer. Britney and Madonna are known everywhere, more people know who Britney and Madonna are than who chaka is, Does that make Britney a better singer than Chaka.

[comeon6]

It ain't even about the "KNOWING" status, you're right, who cares? What I am saying! DO NOT!!! compare Chaka Khan to Anastacia. It's STUPID and retarded. Ana knows who's the beast of the three, so does LuLu. When Chaka hits her notes, do you see how they give her recognition? Take NOTES! It's about legendary status, DUES PAID!!! and IMAGE!! Chaka has it all! She's known for her VOCAL STYLING AND WIDE RANGE OF BELTING! This is what makes Chaka on TOP! TRUTH! Watch the Soul Train Awards tonight

[xbluerayx]

No one hates Chaka Khan ? It's just everyone has their favourite. I love Chaka

but I like Anastacia Best . She is a Legend just like Chaka . I just perfer Anastacia vocal range and style .

[paddeyOmalley]

this is where you are caught for being delusional..with all due respect to Anastacia,,she just doesnt belong in the same Legendary status as Chaka Khan..Chaka is legend because she pay dues,,she's a pioneer,,a trendsetter,,a trailblazer,,she's accomplished,,she's influenced a LEGION of singers which includes the likes of Whitney Houston,Mary J Blige and even Ana herself..thats what real Legends do..do not simply throw around the term just because that is your favorite singer..do some research.

[comeon6]

AMEN!!!!!!! ANYONE!!! can be a VETERAN! That means they have the years and experience on their belt, but to be called a LEGEND!!! Is something you have to work for and be an inspiration to generations to come...Chaka Khan LEGEND!!!...Anastacia VETERAN...LuLu (????I don't know her????)

[paddeyOmalley]

just because they are singing on one stage doesnt mean that they're off the same status..Ana can sing thats why she's there..but Chaka is totally in a different league in terms of vocals..she can improvise/interpret a song like no other and she never sing a song the same style twice..she's just following the choreography in this tour..but when she's on her own,,thats when she shines the most...LEGENDS interpret,,not sing karaoke!

[xbluerayx]

Anastacia is in a league of her own just like Chaka is in a league of her own . Chaka Paid her Dues ?? Anastacia wrote the song for that .

They are totally different singers but being

patronizing and condescending just because you perfer Chaka is only gonna get a negative response .

[comeon6]

What's is WRONG with you people trying to say Anastacia is better than Chaka Khan...News flash...people in the US doesn't even KNOW who Anastacia is...Sorry, this is truth...I know who she is, because I'm well rounded, but it has been said that "Why is Chaka going on tour with these unknown people?? It seems quite random" I kind of thought that too, but this is just many of experiences Chaka has added to her journey through her music career..Chaka is the MAIN ATTRACTION on THIS tour! TRUTH!!!

[kstlcville]

There is some truth in what you say. Chaka is huge in some parts of the world. Anastacia is not huge in the USA, but iis huge in others countries.

If you read all the comments for the videos from this tour, you will see Anastacia gets more comments. Chaka is very close to receivng the same amounts of comments.

It is not up to you to decide who is the main attraction. That is up to the fans of these 2 legends of music. I just saw Chaka at a state fair. Maybe this tour is to help her also.Truth!!

[comeon6]

Chaka doesn't need any help! She's a legend...She has her foundation, she gives back to the community, she has ALLL the awards she needs.. AAs a matter of fact...Her tribute for the SOul Train Awards comes on tonight!!! She's being honored in 2010 w/ a star of Hollywood's Walk of Fame!!! Um....Anastacia? Is she that close to a person who's career has spanned 40 years??? She CAN NOT be COMPARED at ANY LEVEL!! To Chaka Khan...So yall just stop it and get it through your heads!! SORRY! TRUTH!!!!!!!

[paddeyOmalley]

oh please dont even try to make Chaka look pathetic because she's doing LULU a favor to make this tour a success! LULU knows the presence of Chaka is IMPORTANT! plus Chaka just sold out a 5 nights concert tour in Japan very recently!! FYI Chaka's still heavily touring around the world,selling venues! and Chaka is a very humble LEGEND who just dont mind doing any type of shows,,from the state fairs to the most prestigious of them because she's doin it for the fans and her true love for music!

[kstlcville]

OK OK- enough already. You are getting carried away here.

[paddeyOmalley]

blame it on some of Anastacia's fans...they started this mess.

[csifann1]

i wont blame only anastacia's fans, even if they started the mess, you and other people contributed to this too!!

[paddeyOmalley]

i was just givin out the TRUTH!! cant handle the truth?

[csifann1]

you're giving out the truth, what truth? You're giving up your opinion!!!

[paddeyOmalley]

not just an opinion,,my statements are backed by FACTS..i dont talk baseless opinions.

[csifann1]

your statements are facts, but with that facts you're saying that Chaka is the best out from the three, which is your opinion which Anastacia and Lulu's fans disagree, because as fans they will always have their own favorite!

now say whatever you want, but I'm out!!! Waste of time!!

[paddeyOmalley]

its good that you understand all this..because initially some insecure Ana fans said that she's the best out of the three..they even said that Ana will perform "aint nobody" better than Chaka while we Chaka fans never said things like Chaka will sing "im outta love" better than Ana..tell me who started it..i was never downplaying Ana from the beginning..they try to get down with me and now im throwing facts in response..

[paddeyOmalley]

search the list of receipients of the Honorary Doctorate from Berklee...tell me im lying about that..just a fraction of an example of me telling the truth

[paddeyOmalley]

lmao @ you thinking that amount of comments matters! REAL music aficionados knows what Chaka's made of!

[paddeyOmalley]

while Chaka is big in the U.S,,,she's also one major ambassador of Funk music from back in the 70's,80's till now! she's huge in Germany,,and many parts of Europe,,also in Japan and in the south east Asia....Jools Holland dubbed Chaka as an R&B ICON...music aficionados refers Chaka as an INSTITUTION!! she's one of the very few Legends awarded with an Honorary Doctorate in Music from Berklee College. TRUTH!!

[comeon6]

They CHANGED the name of the song...It's NOT their song

[Anastecio]

All chaka's fans who said that she is better than Anastacia, they are totally wrong. Anastacia has an incredible voice, and i'm watching in the videos of the tour that Anastacia hold the stage better than the others two. Someone said that Anastacia is unknown in US, i can say the same thing for chaka in italy, pratically No one knows her here, and we anastacia's fans know her only for this tour. Ana sold more millions than Chaka. Anastacia has the strongest voice!

[paddeyOmalley]

you seem to forget about their age differences here,,and what effects "age" + "near 4 decades of sanging vocally punishing set lists (Chaka's)" can do to your vocals...FYI when Chaka was at Ana's age,,her vocals are totally on a different level than what we saw in this concert...you might wanna revisit Khan's back performances..Ana's more recognizable by the young generation because she rises in the era of music videos,,while Chaka was recognized for her vocals and musicianship alone.

[paddeyOmalley]

Chaka's music are for the discerning ears and they're abit of an acquired taste because they're NOT "pop"which appeals to the masses..they're authentic funk and fusion music which appeals to a certain crowd yet she still manages to score 9 platinum albums,,and she's also the ONE and ONLY QUEEN OF FUNK! Chaka pioneers her own league!

[Anastecio]

Anastacia is not pop! She makes the difference! If i have to say the truth, before this tour i didn't know who chaka is, so i have to thank Anastacia for making me know who is she! And Ana is not popular for videos, but for style, look, music, person, philantropy and most important: VOICE. In Europe, Anastacia will be the main attraction of the tour.

[DamienNova]

DAMN STRAIGHT!

[MarsMartz]

Amazing!

[enzeklopedie]

best o.O

[Sarafreak100]

oh god! great! they have such wonderful voices! i loove all of them!! <3

[Hello3899]

rolliiiiiiin...rolliiiiiiin...­rolliiiiiiiin

YAYAYA! Awesome!

[paddeyOmalley]

amazin Chaka low note @ 1:03 !

[wwwcomunicative]

@paddeyOmalley oh yeah!!!!!! Loweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeest)

[paddeyOmalley]

she does the lows n highs! lol

[wwwcomunicative]

@paddeyOmalley you know, what i really love about chaka is that being contralto she is defenitely the most comfortable with low register among the three, at the same time she can freaking belt out B5 effortesly. Anastacia is a mezzo. Bb5 was the highest chest note i've heard of her. It really clarifies everything. I really lova ana, i'm a huge fan, but nobody touches chaka. I personally thing she overpassed Aretha in many aspects.

[comeon6]

Paddey! We have so man Chaka haters from this "Here Comes the Girls" Tour! Why must they continue to hate? They keep stating ANASTACIA BLAH BLAH BLAH! Yes! She's amazing, but she's not better than Chaka...Her U.S. ratings are nothing! So, oh well!

[ondris]

great song ....can't wait to see it in better quality

[Trit05]

BTW - this song is called Proud Mary!!!! It was originally done by a group called Creedence Clearwater Revival back in the 70's!

[wwwcomunicative]

@Trit05 this was originally by tina turner.

[comeon6]

No it wasn't....anastaciadreams is right...This isn't an original song by Ike and Tina! They covered it

[wwwcomunicative]

@comeon6 They didn't cover proud mary! This is tina's song for 100000 per cent.

[comeon6]

No it wasn't! Ike and Tina were not the orginal recorders! They covered it

[anastaciadreams]

Actually, "Proud Mary", often erroneously called "Rollin' on the River", is a song written by American singer and guitarist John Fogerty. It was first recorded by rock band Creedence Clearwater Revival .

So, it's called both haha.

[dontdarewatch]

haha amazing!!!
