Sade is truly the Queen. No other female singer on the planet comes close to the sexiness of Sade's voice, if they think there is someone else, they just have not top-shelf taste and style.
The woman knows how to move, how to hush low, how to belt out like a flugelhorn, how to welcome the light to her face, and how to disappear into the shadows. She takes us to the peaks of the mountain and to the bottom of the sea. She is a dream of Love. And she walks humble.
She and the band always deliver on this song live! Sade Adu is the epitome of singing within her range, yet making the most of her awesome instrument. Subtle with beautiful shadings and excellent phrasing. Live versions of "Crime" are almost always superior to the recorded version.
Sade is the ultimate! But I must say, I think the version of this song on the Lover's Live dvd, she give a much better vocal performance... if you can believe that.
...i had the incredible luck of seeing and hearing this goddess from the second row in a sold-out concert hall...breath-taking is an understatement...
I'm sorry. I thought if someone was mature enough to appreciate Sade, they would be capable of giving a straight answer to an honest question...my bad.
Haha sorry i was only joking, just my sens eof humour. but yes im mature enough to appreciate Sade!. If i hear what her bands name is ill send you a message!.
Sade is the most passionate lover I have ever heard....she is so in touch with the broken hearted and love sick lovers out there....beautiful.........Butterfly
Sade is one of the best live performance of all...her voice is amazing and the men who are playing all the intruments are fantastic. This song is so sexy is one of my favorite.
To many men are in love with her voice and her body movements... are so seductive and heady, and she traps us forever. I CAN´T stop the Sade songs in everyday.
Man check out what she does at 6:18. man that was amazing. iremeber her doing something like that on her lovers live CD but this one takes the red velvet cake
La artista femenina con mas clase,sensualidad,sexualidad,auntenticidad,originalidad,en lo vocal en su expresion corporal y musical.,hermosa,unica irrepetible es SADE.
How many acts sound better live, than in the studio.....not many. They are the only ones I have seen out of about 75. I saw her once live outdoors, during a thunderstorm... total sensory overload, probably about the best 2 hours of my life!
Sade is one of the finest singers on the planet. She emits so much emotion. Her songs express real feelings and depth. You can feel her vulnerability. Sade trancends fads. Her music is timeless. Love is universal.
Anyone know when this was from? Wasn`t her last tour in 01`. Like another incredible talent, Stevie Wonder, it is truly "a crime" that she tours only `bout every 10 years. I`ve seen about 300 concerts over the years, and she`s in my top five.
I can see through all of your lies but still I miss you... Says it all right there!

"Raspy"? That would be more like Janis Joplin. It may be that you mean "smoky" or even "husky", But it's cool...she's definitely got her own style.
