"I fooled ya baby, fooled ya baby I wish I could tell ya, how much I love ya Fooled ya baby, fooled ya But I'm the fool I count the hours till I see your face I'd stop the world from turnin' out in outer space I'd get back the time that's been erased Just to have you near me, just to hear you say That I'm yours till the day you die And ain't nobody else in your life Ain't nobody ever made me feel Sexy like I was wearin' a new pair of heels......" Thank you Nikka for my Heart's Voice
This was my first time seeing her perform live (but not my first time hearing her) & ever since then, I've been on this chick's bandwagon. I love her.
Why this woman is not at the top of the charts and more famous than that Lady Gagag is beyond me! She is powerfully phenomenal! A brilliant artist to the hilt! I would sign a petition for her to play someone's life story, make films, etc. Ms. Costa is great!
i don't know if anyone's commented on it yet how badass it is that she's just HOLDing that tambourine! i don't know what was going through her mind at the performance, but i wondered if she just liked the seething intensity with the downplayed comping she had and figured the 16th notes woulda been "too much." she's a true artist.... maybe the tambourine was a tribute to the bootyshaker that this song inherently is...? whatever. Nikka's "cooking" is good either way!
NIkka Costa would sing so many of these super-famous chicks under the table.... She is one of the only artists out there making REAL music anymore!!!!! I guess being one of the few really makes her stand out though. Go Nikka!
@gyrl1da16 ~ word up. she's also very much a LIVE artist. all those other divas don't sound as good as she does live, and none of them can work a stage like she does ~ a true showwoman! when you see her, it's her, the band and the stage. ain't no bullshit theatrics or extra visuals. Mz. Costa lightin' the stage up is all you need!!!!
Amazing voice. Reminds me also of Anastasia but with much more strength and rawness. She truly sounds genuine, just like Janis was. Does she write her own materiual?
HEY. I'm replying to a comment you left a year ago. Do you remember what you wrote? lol. I didn't know they'd have someone like this with Britney spears.
I seriously listened to this song the other night non-stop on the ipod. I came across it on one of my old playlists. Where is she now? Has she released another album recently?
Pebble to a Pearl. Due out next month. Go to the Concord Music Group website and check out the audio samples. Gotta tell ya, she lined up some Grade-A talent for that one...
wow she is so incredibly talented she is one of the rare artistst whose live performances are better than simply listening to the album. She somehow reminds me of good old Tina Turner in this vid (though many fans will probably hate me for saying this but i think it is true...).
I can't grow tired of being amazed by this bitch. Look at that. What control she displays and yet you know it's coming from deep inside, from an honest place. It's incredible. I got to see her while she was on the road promoting her last album, Can'tneverdidnothin', and I even got to meet her. The woman is just delish!
I loove Nikka!! She just had a baby a little while ago. You can check her myspace page and see pics. I can't wait until she releases more material!!!!!
Man, that's why I love Nikka so damn much right now. She honestly GETS IT!!! She's not into making the "bling" or getting her image plastered all over the place. Nope, she just wants to have a good time with the rest of us through her music. And yeah, she truly is something else on stage. That's what really seperates the good ones from the "novelty acts", you know-lol!
Nikka Costa is awesome!! I have never seen anyone deliver so much soul and funk in my whole life!!! She brings something that is hard to achieve when she performs and both her albums deliver and new and amazing genre of music suitable for Nikka Costa to be able to shake her ass around!!
