[rachellesi]

thanks for posting...

fem sonje lem te piti

[ambreginny]

you're welcome.

Mwen menm tou.

[quovadisterra]

But one needs to take into accounts there are differencies in ages,styles,Yole was securely married to an accomplished artist,while Emeline had to fray her way out of the explosion of artists post 1986,Yole is more reserved a bit elitist,shy,from an era when women were less free to a wild Emeline emancipated de l'ecole post-1986!

[ambreginny]

Yeah.

But strictly vocally, I got to go with Yole Derose. Her vocals are stronger, more refined.

Although I like Emeline better as an artist.

[acedaface954]

yole derose. mm. another fine woman. i love that song tounen she put out years ago during my upbringing. i still listen to it to this day. undeniable. but please tell me this. what does akiko mean??? lol

[sweetchanu]

This is my 10th time listening to this for the night! I am not getting tired of it!

[fafou509]

ah ué grand souvenir....

[chocoskin]

J'A-D-O-R-E..que de beaux souvenirs !

[alez509]

Q: can somebody tell me what haitian woman sing better than emeline michel??

A: well, nobody does.

[charlandelm]

Very true. the woman in Ram sings really well

[quovadisterra]

the haitian women repertoire musicale is huge with various styles;Nia,Misty Jean,ti corn,Farah juste,Fedia Laguerre,Claudette,Danielle Thermidor,Carole Demesmin,Toto Bissainth,Martha Jean Claude,Lumane Casimir,to name a few.Carole Demesmin was the queen of the air waves in the 80's. L'heure port-au-prince ap reveille,Hommage a lumane Casimir remain masterpieces!

[ambreginny]

I personally like Gina Dupervil, the way she doesn't stretch her vocals, but sounds so soft. Like a hummingbird.

To the original question by Alez509: Yole Desrose sings better than Emeline Michel. She's a stronger vocalist by far. That doesn't mean I think Emeline is a bad singer or undeserving of her success cuz i Love her.

[Roody718]

Emeline is not a great singer! She just happen to have the right people behind her ...back in the days specially late 80's mid 90's! her boyfriend was a big producer and her husband was a musicain also!

Have you heard of

Yole Derose?

[kbotreau1]

...and you are hating because? ....

[Roody718]

Hating!!!?

I dont even know how to begin replying to your comment!

Lan-m med!
