She really does sound amazing live. Her and rich mingle hang out in the crowd before their shows and got to meet them. I love them! and Rich is a hottie
@The5pointsofgrace You don't know her personally to make that kind of judgement. FYI. It a sin bearing false witness. Wish more Christians would remember that, before making assumptions about other human beings. Even if she stopped believing in Jesus or Christianity that's her decision and its her life to lead. Who died and appointed you god to sit in judgement of other human beings?
Whao finaly! Where do all these awesome videos of Nikki&Rick suddenly come from. Half year ago you could barely find a hand full on yt. So gonna buy this record whenever it gets available. Cant wait!
Interesting info: "Nikki Leonti's powerful voice first hit airwaves in 1998. The bubbly, energetic teen caught everyone's attention and she enjoyed hit songs like "It'll Be Alright" and "Everlasting Place". Sadly, after 2001 Nikki's talent disappeared from Christian music. A few years ago she toured with country superstar Carrie Underwood as her back-up singer. Now Nikki is part of a new group Nikki and Rich and they are working on their first secular CD together."
wow yet more more more post Amy Winehouse soul pop ala Shangrila's..this one is such a rip of Great Big Kiss they palm if off as reference/homage..nahhhh ..
@englishsinger they dont have rite"s to the song anyways, cause they sold it. They're paying out of they're pocket so dont be mad at them! Be mad at the bitch who sold it.
They do pay tribute to Shangri-Las at the beginning, listen closely and its the original track "Give Him a Great Big Kiss" at the very beginning then she goes into singing and the band starts playing
also a great vid & live performance! i don't know if i've ever heard so much soul comin out of a white girl, & i love the fact that rich is right there on stage mixing it live :)
OK - this is catchy and modern - but look up the original song 'Give Him a Great Big Kiss' by the fab Shangri-Las from the 60's. It wouldn't be anything like as good if they hadn't used that song as the basis of this track.
If you think this sounds good, check out their song "December." It's so beautiful you won't just be able to play it just once! I guarantee it! Also check out "The Heavy," Jonelle Monae, Duffy, Dionne Bromfield who was mentored by Amy winehouse! Dionne sung a song called "Love Is A Losing Game," and the video is on Youtube. Please look up these artist and support them so that we can usher in a much needed era of good music, PLEASE!
I LOOOOOOVE this newfound 60's sound the people are getting into and doing it WELL! The performance of this song is "off the chain!" I actually did a little editing on this performed version of the song with Garageband on my computer, and let me tell you: it sounds good!
‘Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bend - without a song.' So I keep singing a song.
Nicki Leonti is the total package. Great voice, naturally sexy, attractive, stage presence, plays up to the camera and crowd and has amazing soul to her voice.
