I believe she is hearing a metronome in her earpiece. Not to question her abilities, but it's virtually impossible to keep in tempo with such precision.
haha, I think you misunderstood. I'm pretty sure hosway1992 is talking about the host, Zach Braff. He's definitely a "he" and Immi's definitely a "she". :)
Live music at it's finest. I would so love to see her play live. I think I would be lost within the music in a daze. I get that dreamy trance feeling just listening to her but to be there live my goodness.
I never noticed before but you can juuuuust hear the loop from her ear piece at the beginning, which is the original Just for now... I'm fascinated by her methods... this is a great version.
WEIRD WEIRD WEIRD pitch issues with youtube lately- I have this footage downloaded from months ago, and it sounded like it should- THIS has been tweaked or the flash player is getting messed up... Is someone sabotaging this stuff? Why is it out of tune?? the original footage's audio is SUBLIME... this is not right!
its the raw version. I LOVE IT. to know that someone is actually capable of singing with themselves live............ absolutely amazing. sure there is the more refined version, but this is a real live preformance.....this is Imogen Heap.

What the fuck... I feel betrayed. Is this the real version? I found a version on Stumble last year that had her in tune. Wow... the other version was very emotional for me, but this... uhh I don't know.

They're not insane -- it is filled with distracting intonation issues, which are more exposed b/c the song is being performed a capella. She's still a great artist, which the mastered version more clearly reflected. It's too bad, really.
Appreciate live music!!! who cares about the distracting intonation issues?...this is an awesome piece of music...i think it should be called art actually.
stfu roseolla, say what you want but at the end of the day she's a highly respected musical artist and no one knows who you are except you're an unhappy person who likes to down other people's accomplishments.
I love and appreciate music, mastered on a CD or not.

i'm so upset. she's all offkey n stuff in this video, which means the other video of this is edited. but she stil sounds great...just not as good as i thought cuz the other vids r edited -_-
She's using an Electrix Repeater. The version she is using has been discontinued, but they're releasing a new one in 2008 apparently. You can find 'em on ebay occasionally.
They have four 'tracks', and she recorded the bass/claps on one, then the chorusy 'just for now bits' on another, then turns the tracks down or up depending on the part of the song she's in.
Imogen is soooo amazing! I can't help to admire her so much, she is doing all this live, all by herself with so much fluidity and creativity. Firsh, she creates a beat, that become a mood... that soon become a beautiful song, a masterpiece ! <33 Total respect here, I looove heeerrr xD
Lol, unfortunately i think she may be using an auto tune in this track; there's a slight electric edge to a couple of bits. Although it's fair enough given the harmonies she has to rely on in this track. Still awesome as ever though.
The problem with the album version is that there is too much music to the side of her singing that gets in the way of her really amazing voice. Hearing her sing it completely accapella is amazing because you get to hear her voice more clearly.
THIS IS MAGIC! I'VE JUST BEEN SENT OFF TO A PEACEFUL DIMENSION! (-; (-;

Imogen Heap is amazing.
She's just so pure and unique,
which is truly hard to find in this day and age.
Her voice live, especially during this song is amazing, it's beautiful, and true.
It's very comforting to listen to a song off of her album knowing that she can do it even better live, unlike a lot of music artists today.
Her lyrics for this song are just brilliant.
She captures absolutely the air and atmosphere of a dysfunctional family around the holidays.
God she rocks.
