Joanna Newsom - '81 - Jools Holland (HD/720p)

[scottjhnsn]

so every harp sound derives from kate? either you have very limited knowledge of this style of music or you're just that lazy. you do realize harp music had a very prominent movement during the Renaissance which to me is much closer to joanna's approach. and if want to talk about who sounds like kate,florence welch sounds literally more like kate bush than joanna. i love kate but i don't hear anything distinctly like her in joanna's music.

Her voice and style are beautiful, but she's also impeccably trained. Her form in the bass flawless, even with the crazy rhythms she's using; and her treble is top notch.

ahhhhhhdorable!!

[PorroFirst]

Just voice and harp, imagine that.

[ti3nt]

she has a good singing voice but her idk how to put it, but elocution and voice the puts on is terrible.

I believe in you too, Joanna.

Wish I knew your birth time; I suspect Neptune conj Galactic Centre rising...it's the only explanation for this overwhelmingness you have.

[WhoopMQ]

@DCGM Or hard work and intelligence, rather than hocus pocus nonsense

[DCGM]

@WhoopMQ

You're entitled to your opinion, of course. But then, so am I. These propositions are not mutually exclusive, except perhaps in the minds of those who miss no opportunity to decry what they have never properly investigated, only dismissed a priori, in their complacent scientism. Have a nice day, now.

[WhoopMQ]

@DCGM There is no proper investigation for unverifiable pseudosciences -- that is the only reason they continue to exist, because they are crafted in a way that makes them impossible to disprove. But if it makes you happy to believe in astrology and all that, whatever I guess. It's just kind of insulting to imply that an artist somehow owes their talent and skill to a certain alignment of the stars rather than any virtue of their own.

[DCGM]

Any 'insult' to JN is devised by you - there must have been plenty of folks born the same time/place who didn't have the hard work and intelligence to attain her level of art. LOL@ your 'crafted in a way' - teams of wicked, foolish people have laboured over the ages to craft an undisprovable pseudoscience? There's surely as much bad astrology as bad science; but the great god Science itself rests on a theory of energy/force that is still, er, 'undefined', and 'scientific truth' now means Money.

[harrysinex]

I love that she changed outfits, how classy.

[dickidoo123]

Good Lord!!!!

[2ubester2]

I think she's discovered Kate.

[longbluefingers]

@2ubester2 Kate who?

[2ubester2]

@longbluefingers Kate Bush.

[ninbin34]

@2ubester2 well, it's only like half army dreamers so it's not that bad. it could be worse :) [like Kate's new deeper understanding with voicoder ]

[Reznor1313]

Joanna's music is so beautiful, i can't keep from listening
