I cant wait for her and Jennifer Hudson to do something together like they both said they wanted to do. Too excited! :D 2 best singers in the worllddd!
She's certainly part of todays Top 5 Best Female R&B Singers:
1. Jill Scott (exceptional)
2. Ledisi (Chaka & Ella wrapped up in one)
3. Chrisette- Her Influential (R&B mixed with Jazz) style has made younger listeners appreciate old Jazz artists
4. Jennifer Hudson (Powerful)
5. Melanie Fiona (vocal clarity mixed with soul)
This is an objective list not my personal favorite artists. It may be argued that Erykah, Jazmine, Fantasia, Beyonce, and Corinne Bailey should have all made the list.
It can't be an objective list since it's based on opinion still.I'm not a fan of Jill's tone and Ledisi is good but certainly not Chaka neither Ella.I agree Chrisette and J.Hudson are special though. I enjoy Erykah and Corinne's vocals. I think not only have they both got lovely tones but their voices are distinctive too, . Both like Chrisette seem to be influenced by Billie Holiday but sound so different from each other.
At the same time I wouldn't describe Erykah or Corinne as singer-singers in the vein of Chaka, Karyn Clarke, Yolanda Adams, Whitney in her heyday etc etc. That's not to take anything away from them as they each bring something unique and fantastic (much like one of my favourites, Sade) and I would go to them for something different to what more conventional soulful -although very talented -vocalists such as Chaka, Yolanda, Whitney etc can give me.
@bentfamily veryyyyyy niceeeeeeeeeee say this list again n post this up....very nice list...most ppl that r underated..they call neo soul....man this is the real music...luv it....
a beautiful performance by a beautiful lady, without histronics, without excessive gesticulation that distract, just her lovely voice gliding effortlessly over the notes. Great performance.
in 1820 a man named fredrick osloft one day he was working in his lab until a ghost came by and killed him the next morning fredrick was nowhere to be seen 100 years later two boys went in the lab as a dare the boys where never seen again where aparently murdered now that u have read this comment tonight when u go to sleep the two boys and fredrick will come and murder you but you can stop this by posting this comment on 5 other videos by midnight im sorry i relly hate these things :'(
I pray anyone who reads your post is blessed with many days filled with lots of love, great health and fianancial blessing. Weak people believe in those chain letters and emails. But the slime is the one that does the original posting.
LOL are talking throw back Sade?! how r u gonna name all these young folks then Sade (love her though)? random....but yeah these are the best voices in r&b right now imo. Chrisette is my personal fave currently tho.
She's coming. LOL. Sade's supposed to come out with an album this year. Lover's Rock was very good. I think she's on the 7 year plan when it comes to releasing albums. Since they're always good, it's worth the wait. :)
dammit this women can sing,she's unique she's herself she's proved you don't have to be a slut to make successful music you just gotta have talent wich is like forgotten in todays show buisness
If anyone can find it, rent the movie "Stormy Weather". If you want to see talent, and really understand that those who are beat boxing, dancing, hip hop, R & B etc etc, and think they invented the culture. This movie is from 1943, and proves that wrong. Chrisette is a throwback to that time. Lena Horne is in the movie, and Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. She is sexy without being slutty, (which seems to be cute these days). Outstanding performer, and fantastic voice.
Her vocal shading and phrasing is *precisely* Lady Day,even the slight lisp...it's a shame, because she's a talented vocalist. But, she is still young, so hopefully she will "grow into" her own voice
When you hear this sensational songbird sing, you get the feeling that there isn't a genre of music should couldn't sing. Her voice can color jazz, blues, gospel, and even country. She's classy, beautiful, and gifted...A talent that make transcends time and styles because she will raise the bar for future singers that follow her.
Chrisette Michele was sent to remind the world that you can make high quality music, have class, and be successful. Her music is timeless. It reaches into the past, represents the present, and will be enjoyed in the future.
This music gets me so emotional... It makes me think of love from a different angle... from backwards. And it gives me the refreshing feeling that the love ending can still be as beautiful as its beggining. Such an honest music. Smart girl.
yo that live band was sick!!!they were absolutely great from the violinists to the guitarist riffs, drums/percussions, bass, the chords, everyone was on point!
She's so amazing!!! I <3 her! I loved the parts when she sang with her back-up singer,Corey...and close to the end when she sang brokenhearted and did the little high note! She's great! I can't wait til her new masterpiece drops in October!!
Jill Scott has better range more vocal versatility and more raw vocal power (though this is a overrated aspect of evaluating a singer) than Chrisette at the same age. Still Chrisette mastered some of the subtle nuances of a Holliday/Horne earlier on.
dont get me wrong my babies mama (JILL SCOTT) has a phenomenal range...i am just impress with her daring to be different in an error of sound-a-likes look a likes........and overrating a singer by jilly from philly standards not really i mean we compare usually by LaBelle Mills Winbush so i add Jill to that list
I love her and her music.Ive seen her 3 times myself at the hob in n.o. and if she comes again i will be there.wonderful cd if u dont have it its never to late to go and get it.
I love the fact that the sound is bad and she sings straight through it without a blink. Two guitar players but you only hear one. No bass coming through. Yet she kicks it down!
huh, no bass???....how can you not hear that bass line...dude is throwing chords and everything...and then he's doing a run @ the end of the song but the camera is on the acoustic guitar...chrisette is crazy on vocals though, i luv her style and how she flows w/ the musik
Bass is the 4 stringed instrument playa (hitting notes at the bottom). The Guitar is the one with line at the end and plays chords. The levels of the band are adjusted and they're better at the end. Don't correct me chief cuz playing with her would be a light gig :) but I respect your musical taste just the same.
This girl is absoloutly incredible. She's like Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday recreated into one.Love her music and death. And you who likes licking armpits, you need Jesus, what happen to the days of liking to lick toes :-)
I appreciate women just as much as the next man (hoping you are a man, I could be wrong) but you are a little too much..you need help I know a counselor I would be glad to give you his number.
Theres a girl who was on a bus standing up and her hairy sweaty armpit was right in this strangers face so he decides to lick and smell it reapeatedlely, then they meet up later were he continues.
unfair u guys get performances like this on your talk shows!! here in the uk we have the jonathan ross show an the best he has to offer is shite like the kaiser chiefs!!
That is the reason why America is called the music capital and market of the world. Everything is a music mall in America. You have your rock selection, jazz selcetion, soul selection, R&B selection, blues selection and more.
im just glad our generation still has some talent left. I mean, most of our good singers are men unfortuantely and a lot of the talented female artist are too busy trying to be sex symbols and showing off their bodies more than they're talent. so i hope chrisette stays hangs in there and we see and hear more of her.
She's a beautiful young woman,not shaking her rump. Not yelling and screaming profanities, with a bottle of Crystal in her hand.
Give her her promps. She has a new renovated style that is needed for us of those who can't stand listening to "stump the rump" or "bang the booger" etc.
Wow you people on youtube are so fucking ignorant. I swear no matter what video you watch there is always some idiot that makes it about race. Shut the fuck up and watch the video, its a damn music video not a documentary about the KKK.
Wonderfully talented. Would be if she were black, white, yellow, orange, and any other color. Just as Christina, Whitney, Faith Hill, Gadys Knight, and Anita Baker are. People like you are why Phyllis Hyman killed herself. And others just go crazy. Talent, true talent is just that and it has no color.
Time to educate: Phyllis Hyman committed suicide due to mental illness probably linked to clinical depression. She could've been the most successful singer in the world with the world's best man in her life, but that doesn't solve clinical depression as a result of mental illness. That needs to be treated with medicine - and prayer.
wow, read you comment neosul7 and if black people have better voices name 20 all time great black SINGERS not rappers, without going to google. Can't, and there goes my point
Time to educate (without Google - and in 60 seconds): Aretha Franklin, Sarah Vaughn, Ella Fitzgerald, Chaka Khan, Patti LaBelle, Gladys Knight, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Lou Rawls, Etta James, David Ruffin (of the Temptations), Peabo Bryson, Jaheim, Anita Baker, John Legend, Stevie Wonder, James Ingram, Al Jarreau, Frankie Beverly, Alicia Keys, Whitney Houston (and no, not Bobby Brown), and on and on and on. There are great singers out there of all races.
yea.. hes good. he has Jamie Foxx's timbre, its crazy i can almost tell them apart, they have a song together called Slowly... try seein if you can tell them apart, its helluva a challenge.
Ma gurl is a performer for real.She knows how to appeal to all type of audiences. She knows how to put on a show when she's in a club but when she's with a more traditional audience, she pulls out the sexy/classy Christte Michele. Most women performers can't do that. They're limited.
For example Chrisette Michele in this performance was laid back in this performance so she can appeal to the white audience because she is unknown. According to demographics majority of the people who watch the David Letterman show are older white audiences.
If she performed at the Apollo her performance would have been more driven. But if hear her sing live you will see that she can blow!
Some of you are so off base. If you watched this, I am sure you watched all the other clips in reference to her. She isn't lipsynching that. She is gifted.
fail to disagree since black people have such versatile voices they can have weak voices and strong voices. I don't know if you realize but historically speaking in order for black people to appeal to the white audience they had use the weak voice in order to appeal to the white audience.
You're missing my point. I'm saying that you cannot colour code talent and the line of thought I'm trying to discourage is this 'oh he/she sounds black, or he/she sings too white'. 2me it's as bad as trying to define how to 'act' black or white. I'm an African based in the UK and to a much lesser extent- altho' it exists - do we have these racial hang ups. Take people on their own merits. Soul can be universal.
I'm sorry but I have to agree with this statement. The supremes are a good example of this. It was felt that Diana Ross' soprano voice would easily allow the group to fall into "mainstream".
I find myself being guilty of making these colour-based assumptions with music and I fight the urge. And it's not a case of who sings what better it comes down to subjectivity and personal choice..
First of all I wanna say that I'm not racist because racism is ignorance,fear and insecurity. For Elementboi916 to say such ignorant and very racist comment it shows that he clearly doesn't know much about the history of music. I don't know who gave you the idea that white people can sing better than blacks people that comment is totally false. You need to do more research buddy. You need to go all the way back. Whites are much better singers than blacks what a joke.
Comming from a music major i find your comment ignorant and i dismiss it.Black indivduals have played a major role in music and inventions. We brough about Jazz,gospel and even rock and roll ray charles and other great artist like James brown etc. Before you open you mouth and make such ignorant statements make sure you have your facts right first. Im mixed and people are people the same as music it has no color just passion. I not mad at you i just feel sorry for your thinking.
oh ya bye the way, black people should be proud to have talent like this, but it has been proven that white people have better pure voices than black people, mostly blacks can sing gospel and others well need, NEED to have their voice dubbed over like chrisete best of me video. if you dont belive me you should cheek out the top twenty artists of all time, their all white.
yea im sure it has absolutely NOTHING to do with the institutionalized racism that exist in just about every aspect of American society...right?...=/... what a stupid comment
If white people have such pure voices than why do you guys listen to black music. White people have good voices but it lacks the real and colorness that black people have.
Blacks have one of the most versatile voices on the planet they can sing anything. Rock, country, gospel you name it they can sing.
Lets not get silly here into mking the sweeping racist generalisations of this Elementboi character.A person's racial or ethnic background is not prerequisite to their ability to sing with 'soul'.I hate that some singers eg Jamelia, Rhianna with weak voices are deluded into thinking they can sing because of the melannin factor. Sadly too often 'white' singers always have to prove themselves.I hate this polarisation of music.
I fail to disagree since black people have such versatile voices they can have weak voices and strong voices. I don't know if you realize but historically speaking in order for black people to appeal to the white audience they had use the weak voice in order to appeal to the white audience.
Plus those singers I mentioned are just weak vocalists full stop. If anything the only reason they get any kudos is because the mainstream audience seems to equate deep melannin tone with automatically good vocals. It's inverted racism and I hate it. Like assuming all black people are good at sport - I certainly defy that stereotype! A blk person doesn't have to scream unrestrained to be soulful. Look at Whitney...

That is the reason why America is called the music capital and market of the world. Everything is a music mall in America. You have your rock selection, jazz selcetion, soul selection, R&B selection, blues selection and more.

im just glad our generation still has some talent left. I mean, most of our good singers are men unfortuantely and a lot of the talented female artist are too busy trying to be sex symbols and showing off their bodies more than they're talent. so i hope chrisette stays hangs in there and we see and hear more of her.

She's a beautiful young woman,not shaking her rump. Not yelling and screaming profanities, with a bottle of Crystal in her hand.
Give her her promps. She has a new renovated style that is needed for us of those who can't stand listening to "stump the rump" or "bang the booger" etc.
So with all that said "you go girl"

Wow you people on youtube are so fucking ignorant. I swear no matter what video you watch there is always some idiot that makes it about race. Shut the fuck up and watch the video, its a damn music video not a documentary about the KKK.

Wonderfully talented. Would be if she were black, white, yellow, orange, and any other color. Just as Christina, Whitney, Faith Hill, Gadys Knight, and Anita Baker are. People like you are why Phyllis Hyman killed herself. And others just go crazy. Talent, true talent is just that and it has no color.

Time to educate: Phyllis Hyman committed suicide due to mental illness probably linked to clinical depression. She could've been the most successful singer in the world with the world's best man in her life, but that doesn't solve clinical depression as a result of mental illness. That needs to be treated with medicine - and prayer.

wow, read you comment neosul7 and if black people have better voices name 20 all time great black SINGERS not rappers, without going to google. Can't, and there goes my point
elementboi916 4 years ago
Time to educate (without Google - and in 60 seconds): Aretha Franklin, Sarah Vaughn, Ella Fitzgerald, Chaka Khan, Patti LaBelle, Gladys Knight, Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson, Lou Rawls, Etta James, David Ruffin (of the Temptations), Peabo Bryson, Jaheim, Anita Baker, John Legend, Stevie Wonder, James Ingram, Al Jarreau, Frankie Beverly, Alicia Keys, Whitney Houston (and no, not Bobby Brown), and on and on and on. There are great singers out there of all races.

Ma gurl is a performer for real.She knows how to appeal to all type of audiences. She knows how to put on a show when she's in a club but when she's with a more traditional audience, she pulls out the sexy/classy Christte Michele. Most women performers can't do that. They're limited.

I agree. Please bring the elegant women back. It's all about rump shaking now. What about true talent.

For example Chrisette Michele in this performance was laid back in this performance so she can appeal to the white audience because she is unknown. According to demographics majority of the people who watch the David Letterman show are older white audiences.
If she performed at the Apollo her performance would have been more driven. But if hear her sing live you will see that she can blow!

fail to disagree since black people have such versatile voices they can have weak voices and strong voices. I don't know if you realize but historically speaking in order for black people to appeal to the white audience they had use the weak voice in order to appeal to the white audience.
neosul7 4 years ago
You're missing my point. I'm saying that you cannot colour code talent and the line of thought I'm trying to discourage is this 'oh he/she sounds black, or he/she sings too white'. 2me it's as bad as trying to define how to 'act' black or white. I'm an African based in the UK and to a much lesser extent- altho' it exists - do we have these racial hang ups. Take people on their own merits. Soul can be universal.

I'm sorry but I have to agree with this statement. The supremes are a good example of this. It was felt that Diana Ross' soprano voice would easily allow the group to fall into "mainstream".
basketballbabe03 4 years ago
I find myself being guilty of making these colour-based assumptions with music and I fight the urge. And it's not a case of who sings what better it comes down to subjectivity and personal choice..
AcousticUplift 4 years ago
First of all I wanna say that I'm not racist because racism is ignorance,fear and insecurity. For Elementboi916 to say such ignorant and very racist comment it shows that he clearly doesn't know much about the history of music. I don't know who gave you the idea that white people can sing better than blacks people that comment is totally false. You need to do more research buddy. You need to go all the way back. Whites are much better singers than blacks what a joke.
ladyreign21 4 years ago
Comming from a music major i find your comment ignorant and i dismiss it.Black indivduals have played a major role in music and inventions. We brough about Jazz,gospel and even rock and roll ray charles and other great artist like James brown etc. Before you open you mouth and make such ignorant statements make sure you have your facts right first. Im mixed and people are people the same as music it has no color just passion. I not mad at you i just feel sorry for your thinking.

oh ya bye the way, black people should be proud to have talent like this, but it has been proven that white people have better pure voices than black people, mostly blacks can sing gospel and others well need, NEED to have their voice dubbed over like chrisete best of me video. if you dont belive me you should cheek out the top twenty artists of all time, their all white.

If white people have such pure voices than why do you guys listen to black music. White people have good voices but it lacks the real and colorness that black people have.
Blacks have one of the most versatile voices on the planet they can sing anything. Rock, country, gospel you name it they can sing.

Lets not get silly here into mking the sweeping racist generalisations of this Elementboi character.A person's racial or ethnic background is not prerequisite to their ability to sing with 'soul'.I hate that some singers eg Jamelia, Rhianna with weak voices are deluded into thinking they can sing because of the melannin factor. Sadly too often 'white' singers always have to prove themselves.I hate this polarisation of music.

Plus those singers I mentioned are just weak vocalists full stop. If anything the only reason they get any kudos is because the mainstream audience seems to equate deep melannin tone with automatically good vocals. It's inverted racism and I hate it. Like assuming all black people are good at sport - I certainly defy that stereotype! A blk person doesn't have to scream unrestrained to be soulful. Look at Whitney...
