Emily Elbert - Whipping Post/Manic Depression

[damidgiteer]

Two words, Hellllllll yeaaaaaah.

[oleput9]

This put the biggest smile on my face :) .. Seriously. Awesome.

[2malinos]

Emily,

I'm very familiar with both of these songs and I sat back in pure delight while listening to you execute them both with such a high level of professionalism. Your mastery of the guitar really captures my attention and can't get over at how easy you make it all look. The thing is I know it's not something easily achieved, it takes a lot to be able to play this well. I'm completely flabbergasted at the way you play and sing with so much character and soul in your voice.

[rastakid87]

[ana1sninja]

Have you heard Eva cassidy play and sing ? Or Edie Brickell I think your right there...check out Eva Cassidy doing fields of gold....

[drainwater1977]

Yep...pretty damned good.

[jcraig2007]

wow, that was great...definitely going to the favorites list. ROCK ON EMILY!!!

[theabacus30]

[anubis1335]

[Skyman46]

Great version of Whipping Post from a woman's point of view...very impressive.

[alegraswindow]

I'm not sure if I'm more impressed by your voice or how well you play this is amazing!

[SalerPaul]

I just love discovering young upcoming musicians on YouTube!

PLAY ON, Emily!

[moedady]

Emily. Great song choice, great execution, you're going to be huge. You're a musicians musician. keep playing those dark masculine songs, they give you instant credibility.

[blissmachine]

@moedady Exactly, a "musician's musician". That's a perfect catchphrase.

[dawg469]

nice

[cssbone]

Tracy Chapman's soul...Clapton's guitar chops. Very nice combination.

[BOJOPAWS]

Loved it

[justaman6972]

i think janis believed in reincarnation.

[americandevil]

totally awesome. girl can definitely belt out the blues with feeling. love it.

[Dragnphlai]

I'd like to hear Emily go electric with the guitar, she's already so good on acoustic - and maybe thats good enough, but with her skills on guitar she could really expand into a more dynamic dimension sonically for the guitar, if she would use a good tube amp and maybe a few sound effects here and there, if they suit the song. Just a thought. I'm hooked on her music already though! I really like her singing too.

[jmpaige529]

Just sick. Rock it chica!

[jumbolump73]

absolutely phenomenal

[cluelocker]

You are full of surprises... I love all your stuff!

[auntchovie]

the only song in my head today...is whipping post!......When I went to you tube to find the best version possible...Ahhhhhhh....This little girl is PRECIOUS!...., But, it kinda took the MANIC out of "SOMETIMES I FEEL..."....., I had to SMILE!

[tonyarae52]

Love it when a gal wails a cool bluesy tune on an acoustic.

[Segura99]

[prettylilhatemachine]

I just discovered you. You're amazing!

[opengee]

This is an example of genuine, natural ability! I am in awe!

[opengee]

[bbqbryan]

Holy Crap! You are Amazing. You are a very talented young lady. WOW! I didn't think you would know much about the Allman Bros., much less Hendrix given your age. I couldn't have been more wrong. that got my attention, Your guitar playing is outstanding. Vocals are awesome..

[acv1185]

Wow. Sexiest 12 year old I've ever seen

[samgfavata]

5 stars. favorited. subscribed.

[botifigus]

Holy Smoke! Woulda never thought that this song could be done by anyone else but the Allman Brothers,and do it justice. Now I know I was wrong. Most excellent indeed !!!!!!!

[HendrixIsGod47]

Completely amazing. You're voice is... incendiary. The tone, phrasing, timing.. everything is perfect. Plus, you have one hell of a right hand.

[tobywalker123]

Emily... that was terrific!!! You have a tremendous feel for the music, play the guitar great and have a wonderful, soulful voice.

[xboxowns]

i don't know what it is, but i want you to go to juliard instead of going pro

[webethechange]

xboxowns, check out Berklee College of Music and you'll see why she's there. Juliard is IT for classical music; Berklee is IT for contemporary music - the best in the world.

[lookadistraction]

I hope you are one of the next popular country singers ... or something [:

[turdfacesaywhaaaa]

she's way too good for country. lol.

i don't even think you could put her into any category. she's just too amazing for a label. =]

[VSamson333]

@turdfacesaywhaaaa, This is not country its Southern Rock and Jimi Hendrix is in his own catagory!

[turdfacesaywhaaaa]

@VSamson333 My comment was a reply to someone who said they wanted her to be the next country star.

And trust me, i respect Jimi Hendrix just as much as you. =]

[verdemanthe1]

@turdfacesaywhaaaa you dont respect Hendrix as much as I do

[turdfacesaywhaaaa]

@verdemanthe1 Jeeze, okay man, no need to turn this into a fight or anything. =/

[verdemanthe1]

@turdfacesaywhaaaa Just admit that you dont love Hendrix as Much as I do and you'll get no trouble!

[turdfacesaywhaaaa]

@verdemanthe1 Fine, whatever.

[verdemanthe1]

@turdfacesaywhaaaa Thats right,In your face turdface, Once again I am victorious!

[verdemanthe1]

@turdfacesaywhaaaa You dont love Emily Elbert as much as I do either,Im gonna marry her!

[JessieSoul]

[iagobroxado]

this was amazing :)

[dark420bishop]

That was totally amazing! :D

[3amJosh]

I want these as mp3s! Please, please, please give the audio files of these songs away!

[dsarverr]

Check out GetTube; you can download any file off YouTube and save it as a video or song. It's sweet.

[jugnutgut]

An American Josh Stone maybe? huh? huh? I can see it. :) you're amazing

[kemplerbrave]

Emily, I love to hear you and I love this clip. I want to sit down and listen to all of your songs sometime. Keep it up.

[guitarmandoguy]

Great songs performed wonderfully, and I especially like the informality of the setting. The lighting is imperfect, the setting is imperfect, but the soul of the music and the song and performer is pitch perfect. I just discovered your YouTube videos today and have combed through the rich variety of your songs and videos. Consider me subscribed (and a fan).

[uteqt1979]

I was thinkin' kinda sexy, kinda cool, but I like the comment below, "Wicked"! Great choice of words.

[daviemcf]

Great rendition Emily,love your vids too,5*.

[Keribearsmiles]

I'm excited when I see new posts from you. You amaze me everytime I see/hear you, keep it up!

[mattmccarthymusic]

I DUUUGGG this so bad back at Old Settler's Festival in Texas. Keep it up.

Looking forward for tomorrow?

[josh6780]

im am in love with you emily elbert. when are you coming to nashville, tn?

[Tdiddy1207]

Should be against the law to have that much talent :) GREAT JOB Emily... you rock.

[3amJosh]

Awesome songs, great job!

[premmidha]

Great stuff, Emily! Your videos brighten my day.

[cubworld]

Wicked, as always.

[ZeeUnit09]

Loved this when I saw it in Addison on a Sunday afternoon.

Peace and love Em.
