rockabilly was never pop, not even in the 1950s. It was more akin to punk. It was banned by many adults and not sold in reputable record stores. Literally banned. Pop in the 1950s was something else, not rockabilly.
I Love How She Never Wears Dresses Above Her Knee And Still Looks Amazing :O Shes A True Role Modle For Girls..Not These Singers Flashin Everything They Got....
@ColetteConroy96 For all the skin and skank in the "Inside Out" video, Imelda is by far the sexiest woman on the screen. even in her modest dresses . . .
@SpankRamen2 Boy, you got that right--I found out about her purely by chance. This is as hot as it gets, some of the best recent stuff I've heard, the whole package: voice, song, band, performance . . . Where the hell is she on the radio?!
I have met the Young Lady She is the real deal trust I get to walk My dog with Her and Her Husband She Has a fire in Her that is proper out of some fiftys movie and its all real trust Me when My dog starts humping Hers and She don't like it the fire in that Girl!!!! as for the Pop style tracks artists always have to do that nowadays its the nature of the bizzness the record company demands it to reach wider audiences Imelda and Her Husband are good People I wish them all the best!
"I'm not so snobbish as to look down on pop, in fact I embrace it when it's done well."
I find that most people who are down on pop don't realize just how wide a category of music that is. Pop is defined by certain characteristics that cross over its many sub-genres: Western "Church" tonal centers, verse-chorus formats, common instruments (voice, bass, drums, guitar, etc.), and chord progressions like I-IV-V.
Pop is everything from Britney to Motorhead, Portishead, Slipknot, and, yes, Imelda.
@EleniaPB If you have a background in musical studies or composition, you'd likely see that Imelda May and Slipknot have more in common than not in common, and that they are both pop. Different types of pop, but pop nonetheless.
Want to hear something that's not pop? Listen to artists like John Zorn.
Superbe - c'est une chanteuse qui va tout massacrer la médiocrité qui sévit en France. Je lui prédit un énorme succès lors de sa prochaine tournée en France !
What do you mean she isn't that talented? I have heard her live and beg to differ - she is so much better than more popular artists like LMFAO (apologises to anyone who likes them AND Imelda May but to me it is mostly synth and annoying like Dub-step)Basically if you don't like it don't listen to it - in slamming it, you put a downer on someone elses' day!
Imelda May Is a SPOILED BRAT!!!! KIcked her opening band-The ETTES.... off of her tour because the lead singer mostly said she might blow imelda off the stage. ITS rock n roll Imelda!!! lead singers say stuff!!! what a spoiled brat!! lost all respect for Imelda.. awww poor baby.. are you ok now? is the threat over?? baby!
NO respect.. and btw there is no chance of coco form the ETTES sounding better than Imelda... Imelda blew the doors off the Paradise club in Boston, Sept. 28 2011
The lead guitarist used to be in my dads band, I think he's married to imelda, he's quality, but a bit of a knob... and just so you know, she's not actually that talented
@natasa13096 well you make a very good point and i don't know what the world is coming too, but im keeping real and istening to the talent ones, but everyone else can listen to what they want.. i think i was just making a point.
i don't know who's really going psycho in this video, her lover? but personally, I know I can relate! inevitably, repressing my innate, animalistic urges can push me further into psychosis. oh what a paradox.
Dave Grohl may seem like an odd choice, but it makes sense if you consider that to represent Nirvana (not Foo Fighters, sillies), it'd have to be him or Kirk, and having a Kirk look alike in a padded cell acting crazy -might- be in bad taste. Maybe?
So, I've been listening to this song for 16 hours, and I'm beginning to think the patients are Dave Grohl, Cee Lo, Rob Zombie, and finally Elvis. If that's the case then this video had a philosophical depth that borders on eternity...anyone back me up with this or am I just going psycho? Eh, eh?
@SpookyJohnathan I reckon it's Louis Armstrong instead of Cee Lo. Them crazy eyes and that smile! Golly gee. This video is just delicious. Well, mostly the parts where you see her. A rockabilly goddess in rubber and red lipstick!
@kawasaki4everKX kidding you about what? its true. i don't know why you're mad. all the rockabilly psychobilly w/e girls look the damn same! red lipstick,cherry or cheetah print clothes,victory rolls and those short looking bangs or sometimes a v bang... thats about it.lol i'm not being disrespectful i just don't get why this person thinks its fascinating. she looks like everybody else
WOW she is amazing and her voice is sooooo freaking awesome!!! I love this chick and if I like one more of her tracks I am going to buy the whole lot!!
Imelda ROCKS>> the world is jealous.....envy....she is the best...EVER...so much talent in a itty bitty package...and...AL GARE...OMG...the best bassist ever...
Imelda ROCKS>> the world is jealous.....envy....she is the best...EVER...so much talent ina itty bitty package...and...AL GARE...OMG...the best bassist ever...
It's odd...I clicked on a video for an artist as talented as Imelda May and, over in the 'suggestion' area to the right, YouTube actually had the nerve to list an artist as untalented as Lady Gaga. That is an insult to Imelda May (and to talent)!
@86Marse I'm the 20th. She cannot sing as she has no proper voice. Let's listen to Patsy Cline and Janis Martin. Or maybe great Decca 50's rockabilly :) There are a lot of worth listening then
@hillbillyboy77 I like Imelda May's album but her live shows are what get me. She can sing, how can you say she doesn't have a "proper voice." Lou Reed seems to think so, and he's hardly a man for throwing out compliments. He barely likes himself ...
@Badgerinthenight Music is subjective, and I likes what I likes and I likes Imelda May. If you want to class her as "pop" (which I disagree with, certainly elements of it in Mayhem the album, but she's not pop) then so be it. I'm not so snobbish as to look down on pop, in fact I embrace it when it's done well.
@Badgerinthenight I don't think she's rockabilly either, she LOOKS it, but isn't it musically. I don't think she has ever labelled herself as rockabilly to be honest, I think it is a label put on her by the media based on her looks. And just because she is not pure rockabilly in your eyes, I don't think you should let that cloud your view that the woman is talented. Might not be your cup of tea, fine, but to say she is "trash" is a bit much. If you don't like her, stop clicking on her videos :)
Check out Imelda May Live Session of "Train Kept a Rollin'". Imelda credits Johnny Burnette for influencing her and a lot of the band. She refers to the song as a Rockabilly classic.
@86Marse I've never noticed anything even remotely pop inspired in her music, it's rather just straight forward rockabilly templates all the way (no musicians can blame her, especially if you have ever touched rockabilly). I can't see the other guy's comment, but I certaintly don't see any pop in her music.
@TheNinetySecond Maybe I should have said more mainstream instead of more pop. I certainly feel Mayhem is the more accessible album, even though Love Tattoo is my personal favourite. I won't claim to know much about the rockabilly scene as a whole outside of what hits the mainstream. I like it in small doses, but wouldn't lay claim to be a fan of the genre. I am a massive fan of Imelda's though. She was on Jay Leno this week and hopefully she gets the respect she deserves in America.
@86Marse Not sure how old this comment is, and forgive me if this is a really old conversation, but I'd like to respectfully disagree with you about calling May "pop". I think she's more pop....like, in a primitive form. Everything is pop and sizzle and bang with her. You can't really say that with most pop acts, even though they carry diluted versions of what she embodies. I think she's very much pop, though pop simply doesn't recognize her.
Go ahead Imelda I ought to send you some art to see if need any logo's and disc work done. Love your style dear.

@86Marse I'm the 20th. She cannot sing as she has no proper voice. Let's listen to Patsy Cline and Janis Martin. Or maybe great Decca 50's rockabilly :) There are a lot of worth listening then

@hillbillyboy77 I like Imelda May's album but her live shows are what get me. She can sing, how can you say she doesn't have a "proper voice." Lou Reed seems to think so, and he's hardly a man for throwing out compliments. He barely likes himself ...

@86Marse This isn't real music. Try the Stray Cats mate. This is fucking POP!

@Badgerinthenight Music is subjective, and I likes what I likes and I likes Imelda May. If you want to class her as "pop" (which I disagree with, certainly elements of it in Mayhem the album, but she's not pop) then so be it. I'm not so snobbish as to look down on pop, in fact I embrace it when it's done well.

@86Marse It sounds like anything else nowadays. There's nothing original about it. It's far to clean cut to be real rockabilly.

@Badgerinthenight I don't think she's rockabilly either, she LOOKS it, but isn't it musically. I don't think she has ever labelled herself as rockabilly to be honest, I think it is a label put on her by the media based on her looks. And just because she is not pure rockabilly in your eyes, I don't think you should let that cloud your view that the woman is talented. Might not be your cup of tea, fine, but to say she is "trash" is a bit much. If you don't like her, stop clicking on her videos :)

Check out Imelda May Live Session of "Train Kept a Rollin'". Imelda credits Johnny Burnette for influencing her and a lot of the band. She refers to the song as a Rockabilly classic.

Referring to "Train Kept a Rollin" she called it "good ol' Rockabilly".

@86Marse Couldn't agree more. I don't give a rat's ass what they wanna call it, I love it. Good music is good music, whatever the category.

@86Marse I've never noticed anything even remotely pop inspired in her music, it's rather just straight forward rockabilly templates all the way (no musicians can blame her, especially if you have ever touched rockabilly). I can't see the other guy's comment, but I certaintly don't see any pop in her music.

@TheNinetySecond Maybe I should have said more mainstream instead of more pop. I certainly feel Mayhem is the more accessible album, even though Love Tattoo is my personal favourite. I won't claim to know much about the rockabilly scene as a whole outside of what hits the mainstream. I like it in small doses, but wouldn't lay claim to be a fan of the genre. I am a massive fan of Imelda's though. She was on Jay Leno this week and hopefully she gets the respect she deserves in America.

@86Marse : Rockabilly...... not pop.... :)

@86Marse Not sure how old this comment is, and forgive me if this is a really old conversation, but I'd like to respectfully disagree with you about calling May "pop". I think she's more pop....like, in a primitive form. Everything is pop and sizzle and bang with her. You can't really say that with most pop acts, even though they carry diluted versions of what she embodies. I think she's very much pop, though pop simply doesn't recognize her.
Regardless, she's amazing.
