Amel Larrieux - Infinite Possibilities

[upncomingbeats]

i was at this show with me ex fiance.... this was a great show/night.... damn i miss her #ahhhmemories

[blqceaser]

I understand the 'earthiness' of sister but does she have to look like a bag lady on stage? There are so many ways to be modest and quite stylish. She still gets a thumbs up from me, make no mistake about it.

[Dc3atl]

I WOULD LOOOOOOOOVE to experience her live!!! i love amel... she is magic.

[blackcherryblitz]

oh!! I love this song!!!

[gabrielekhavirel]

love it

[alecnation]

bad ass performance. went to see her last year in san diego but the vibe in this video is totally different than the concert i saw.... maybe we're just too uptight here?! please respond and share your opinion!

[Nenendude]

This is one of my Favs. of Amel. Reminds me of my bro. & all brothers going through tough while times coming of age.

[gyrl1da16]

i think she sounds fantastic.... i dont think being a great singer is always about being on key, sometimes its just the emotion thats put into it... its art, i mean who wants to color inside the lines ALL the time??

[Feesharp9er]

@gyrl1da16 I don't know it add to the emotive quality when the singers intonations is at least in the same ball park,.,.She's a Legend but she for sure missed some notes,.,.

[gyrl1da16]

@Feesharp9er Amel is a creator, not a person who you will see get up there and perform the exact same show a million times. In order to do that, she takes certain liberties with her melodies and notes, like @schanfir said, its something they do very often in Jazz. I suppose its an acquired taste, but I love it. I get a different show everytime I see her.

[Feesharp9er]

@gyrl1da16 I understand that. We have different definitions of liberties,.which is ok.

[GotImani]

Love it!!!!

[fasteez]

interesting rendition .. especially live 10 years later

[schanfr]

She's not off key, she's just bending her notes (also known as blue notes)and singing a lot of minor, augmented,and diminished intervals in the scale (not typical western scale). similar to what you hear in jazz. This actually shows that she has an amazing ear because most singers cannot do this! Jazz instrumentalists (ex. John Coltrane) play outside the scale all the time, just rare to hear the human voice imitate. So to the normal ear, this sounds off. Love u Amel!!

[divaRights]

Good ear, schanfr...playing with lydian scales, is what you mean.

[ezridax]

Well said, well said, u took the words right outta my mouth! i love her music and style, perfect vocal skills! she really can hit all of those notes, on and off scale, saw her on wednesday nite for the first time in 9yrs!

[Feesharp9er]

@schanfr not really.,.please read omegapdx's comment ,.

[JayPleezer304]

@schanfr Very true. Just listen to how she goes on key and off key at will. That is mind boggling to that with an instrument (ex miles davis and john coltrane on the trumpet) . But to have the ability to do that with the voice is.....unreal.

[Sylentera]

@schanfr Well put:)

[QueenlyandConfident]

@schanfr now you my dear know REAL music! Thank you for clarifying!

[columbusohio72]

She was a little off key. Maybe she was drunk

[crazylea]

this was not a good performance

[soulsting25]

guys, she's in tune but on a different scale. she's not hitting prominent notes of the song that's why it sounds so not in tune. but it is perfectly in same scale.

[Feesharp9er]

@soulsting25 nope.

[dcmagbenga]

amel is so wonderful live. we saw her in seattle at jazz alley a few months back. she sing her whole heart out til she can't sing anymore!! at the end of her show she's just so tired she can barely go on, but she does and she does it for us!!! i took two of my daughter's age 12 and 3 who are amel junkies. she was so gracious, and signed both of the cd's we bought for the girls and let them take pics!!!! amel is the real deal.

[omegapdx]

i think she was vocally tired, and ended not matching pitch, that's all. she still sounds great :-) i love Mrs. Larrieux-- she is my inspiration as an artist.

[Feesharp9er]

@omegapdx Ditto,..!!!

[aymero23]

petezpan, I'm an Amel fan and I noticed it too. It's still one of my favorite songs but there's something I cant put my finger on that sounds off

[petezpan]

she sounds so off!?!

[ThaPoetess]

I think that she was going flat, since she is singing jazz, but i think that in this case she went too flat and started wandering out of key.

[Feesharp9er]

@ThaPoetess major ditto!!!

[petezpan]

hey, why do people get minuses for expressing their opinion? i like her too, but I just wanted to point it out since no else seem to have noticed it...or maybe they did but didnt wanna admit it? lol

[deezedayz]

Lifelong fan here... Her voice inspired me to want to sing. Though I'm doing it as more of a hobby at the moment, I hope to really do something with my singing after I finish grad school...

[vangelissopamena]

She's one of the greats in neo soul!

I praise AMEL! :D

[Traycuzsex]

Amazing Amel!..WOW..

[nicky1167]

Sista is so talented...I wanted to go to BB's to see her but didnt make it

[RadReese73]

Amel is wonderful. Just saw her for two nights at Dakota Jazz Club in Minneapolis. Got to meet her and her husband and the band. She is just wowowowowow...that's all I can write.
