Imogen Heap "Hide and Seek" live on Indie 103

[MrMovieSound]

...wow.. so beautiful

[sourpatchkid311]

Imogen Heap is beautiful, and I wish more people knew her music other than this song. Her music is absolutely fantastic :)

[OnlyVideoGuyOnEarth]

@DjM33 Unless the overwhelming majority of people who use computers are fags, please excuse me for calling you a massive fanboy. Macs are used for this sort of thing. No need to be a twat about it.

[hopsterretje]

This song has made me cry

[hopsterretje]

I found this song today,, But now I'm thinking how could no one know this song it's so beautiful!! Like damnn!!

[gusisboosted]

to me she is the most talented female artist.

She is so well rounded and talented it blows my mind, a true artist.

and shes always topping herself as far as technique and ambient goes... its simply amazing....

shes like a one man (i guess woman) animal collective.....

amazing amazing amazing stuff.

[PHuTuReCLAN]

Is that the guy from Scrubs?

[thealicewhoeludes]

@PHuTuReCLAN Yup. Zach Braff.

[roundy72]

In love with her voice.

[itroll666]

God she's ugly

[Raikiande]

@itroll666 No Amy Winehouse were beautiful... at least her voice is. Michael Jackson's Plastic face also weren't very beautiful not? His voice is beautiful.. so please :) care more

[badnachos1]

Genious.

[lmddawson]

Completely beautiful.

[RWGNUA]

The live version is better than the studio one... If that's even possible! She rocks :D

[sesshiespet]

Were singing Hide and Seek in choir so freakin excited.

[Scofthe7seas]

Why are these live versions not on a CD?? They're amazing, and I need them.

[jpbab00]

I've seen Imogen do this live...it's beautiful. It brings me to tears......

[KuchikiEnder]

Funny how you can hear her voice very clearly, yet people still think it's autotune. Regardless of what anyone thinks about the difficulty of what she's doing with the vocoding, her music speaks to me in a very personal way. I love Imogen Heap live recordings even more than studio.

[iceeVIP]

this is using done using vocoding. nothing is easy, everything would take skill. she has an awesome voice.

[mysoteria7]

@iceeVIP Vocoding isn't hard.

[eric251982]

Stunning.

[TheEdisse]

My favorite version, the most flow of all.

[JayLFRodger]

If Imogen had thought Jason Derulo was ruining her song, she would not have authorised its use.

[koalateeth]

@JayLFRodger thank. you.

[eric251982]

@JayLFRodger I agree about that Jason guy kinda using the song, but now our beloved Imogen's retirement is set for life. And good for her for letting someone else use her genius. Very generous of her.

[TehPiikachu]

Finally found it live... I fucking love her voice <3

[emokidsfriend666]

ZACH BRAFF HOLY JIZZ where's brown bear????? :DDD

[kerpal3]

It's JD! Turk must be nearby

[MikoRaphael]

Ya'll idiots criticize Jason Derulo for ruining this song...

Jason only shed light on this wonderful artist. I heard Derulo's "Whatcha Say" and I searched this actual song and I fell in love with it. Then I feel in love with Imogen Heap<3

[Kalwen]

Neither one of the two top comments have no idea what they are talking about.

[DjM33ns]

Uses mac, problem pc fags?

Great music!

[gramaproblemz]

zach braff!!!!!!

[KingDennisJensen]

Goosebumps all over.

[HiDDeNzKnight]

She has the backup sound on her voice for the effect of the song you can obviously hear her actual voice which is amazing.

[81nowus81]

This song + COD Montage = #1

[jambandz]

Come back to this past 4 days. Love it. This came out during some of my darkest years so I never caught it when it came out. Good stuff. Very skilled.

[Angefrost01]

Really i thought she wasnt going to be good live (due to previous experiences), but damn it was as good as or even BETTER than the track. I dont even listen to this kind of music and i love this song. DAMN GREAT JOB Imogen Heap. DAAAMNN.

[fdOliveiraa]

6000

[frenchcalc]

DEFINITELY A MAN. OR A HORSE. WHY THE LONG FACE? LMFAO

[decimus81]

@frenchcalc lets see your pic now kid

[frenchcalc]

@decimus81 LMFAO LET'S SEE YOURS DICKINMYANUS81

[00kuroshitsuji]

HOLY BACON SHE'S BRITISH <3333 I JUST FOUND HER AND NOW I IZ INSPIRED!!! x3 <333333333333 HOLY SUGAR HONEY ICED TEA!!

[dragonstery]

thumbs up for the most random lyrics ever (Y)

[Odium75]

I don't think people realize how much skill it takes to do what she is doing. Playing harmonies with her own voice while singing? Crazy skill yo. #respect

[holandpleasure]

@Odium75 dude is not for the skills is the FEELING open your heart!!!!!

[SilkEclipse]

@Odium75 She just basicly playing piano... Get real... But she is still amazing...

[Odium75]

@SilkEclipse ah no, its a little more complicated than that. I only know because I saw this style demonstrated at a studio. There is much more to it than that, just an fyi.

[SilkEclipse]

@Odium75 Its just a piano hooked up to a controller to make her voice different keys, and it's just basic notes she's playing!... Not to hard, I mean I can probably do that with my MIDI Controller hooked up the same way... And I'll even upload a video to show you!

[trollowner]

@SilkEclipse Actually she uses the piano as a reverb of her voice though she does use it to sing into, it's just for that though, if you listen to the middle of when she sings, it's really her. Also, where is this vid you said you'd upload?

[SilkEclipse]

@trollowner OH MY GOD!!! A TROLL OWNER... *SilkEclipse Whimpers in Defeat*...

[SilkEclipse]

@Odium75 Whatever... She's still amazing though... she's singing with her eyes closed and still playing... I'm not gonna stipulate to whatever "answer you have"...

[Odium75]

@SilkEclipse So we both like and and were arguing because?  Seems like a waste of time doesn't it? Enjoy

[danielolivan]

@SilkEclipse behind the piano-playing is the preparation. and she's actually her own sound prod team. if you think about it, with the way she works with her performances (at least in the rehearsals show), she knows very well how to adjust sound levels. it's definitely more than playing piano.

[mysoteria7]

@Odium75 It's not hard at all. Especially if you can play piano and sing already. This is easier than that, even.

[prodigyoftheyear]

@mysoteria7 All we need now is a laptop, a feed from the piano to the laptop, and a mic :D

[Oshia666]

@Odium75 Well not true dude, she will be using a vocoder effect or a smart harmonizer that harmonizes her vocals according to the chords she plays on the keyboard.

Still a great performance.. great song. Not my kind of music, but as a writer I respect a good song.

[termokop]

@Odium75

Sorry, but It's called chords and a vocoder. Nothing harder than player piano while singing.

Still a good song though.

[JollyTurtles]

If he loves this song. why wasnt it on the scrubs sound track... damn you zack braff... your entire Ipod was on there anyways. totally should have been in there.

[frozenyoghurtify]

@JollyTurtles because it was on the O.C

[trollowner]

@JollyTurtles He plays Imogen Heap on his movies. Try watching The Last Kiss, Scrubs is not his show so he has no say so.

[guahcap]

@JollyTurtles he had some imogen in garden state

[usxsatcom]

"She", not "Sher". But yes, Cher is alive too, I guess.

[usxsatcom]

For everyone watching this, this is not Amy Winehouse. This is Imogen Heap. Sher is very much alive and full of awesomeness! :)

[MrPIankton]

@woboso1 I can whatever the hell I want to on this site. If you don't like it, we ll too bad.

[ianvanvoest]

@woboso1 right on

[YK91XD]

nice to see some1 that can sing live ...

[TheLegendaryLoboSolo]

Sounds like she has a cold.

[hfschyfvn]

lol listen to this song and then this /watch?v=jPhYRtK0fBU

[xIStormer]

Why is everyone on this video think she's dead, lol.

[MrKevinsaid]

IDIOTS, SHE IS NOT DEAD!!!

[Nishad2009]

i have just attended her concert in Pune, India!!

[OrangeKlawHammer]

I wish she was still with us....rest in peace Imogen.

[ThirteenthOwl]

RIP!

[operationanna]

JD rules

[esspee39]

RIP imogen

[0XaZaX0]

@esspee39 Why RIP?

[danfay307]

its not autotune u drooling retards

[Skarloey88]

I seriously heard this on my radio earlier and said wow, this man must suck if it needs that much autotune. And lo and behold, this WOman needs alot of autotune, XD

[GracefulGoree]

It's so stupid how nobody knows she's using autotune right now!!! It's not because she can't sing, its for the overtone.

[terrypwaldron]

um...I went to music school and have studied music for years...she is not flat...I think you are confusing her with your girlfriend.

[Kheluva999]

@terrypwaldron BURNED

[InvaderMel2]

For the longest time, I thought she was a fairly gay man. Just by the sound of her voice. I dont mean that in a bad way at all, it's just the tone of her voice. I love her either way (L)

[TONARNIA93]

@brocgustafson It's not the fact that it doesn't sound the same, it's the fact that she is painfully flat. Learn something about music and you will understand

[Maydabizzette]

i want to live in the bottom row of her teeth.

[brfalconregiment94]

Is this a guy? Like a drag guy? One thing's for sure, music doesn't care who or what kind of person you decide to be :) <3

[etherealwinds]

@brfalconregiment94 No... Imogen Heap is a female...

[coffeefusion]

I can't believe people don't realise that she's using autotune and samples of her voice as a stylistic tool... not because she can't sing.

[FullmetalAnjuna]

@coffeefusion It's not auto tune or samples. The microphone is going through a harmonizer.

[eldemasiado]

@coffeefusion It's a vocoder. Like Daft Punk

[MasterTodd24]

I'm waiting for Dr. Cox to walk out and give her hell about her performance then some kind of subtle life lesson she'll wonder if he even meant to give.

[MrPIankton]

This is a person who actually has talent, and not like this Justin Bieber shit. This person makes her own beatwork, she doesn't use auto-tune to cheat her way through singing. Imogene Heap is like one of the most under rated artists out there, and she needs to be noticed more.

[ORayDizzyO]

@MrPIankton ehh. I'll go as far to say, she has creativity. Not talent, she can't hold a note for crap.

[MrPIankton]

@ORayDizzyO But you have to look at all she does. She's concentrating on many different things besides singing. She plays the piano, the synth board, and the beat machine, as well as using her voice, so I'd say she does really well for multi-tasking. Do you realize how hard it would be to sing with all that equipment to concentrate on? Making sure each sound is right, as well as your beats. That's like playing the drums, the guitar, the bass guitar, and singing at the same time.

[ORayDizzyO]

@MrPIankton if you knew anything about a drum machine, you would know it's simply pushing a button, and it plays for you. and the "piano" and "synth board" are two of the same thing. the piano is the "synth board". it's called a keyboard buddy. and if you payed an ounce of attention, there's no drum machine in the song. shes playing keys and singing. that's it.

[HackDaMainframe]

@ORayDizzyO do you know what shes using to make her voice sound like that? like the effect? is it just a vocoder or a talk box?

[ORayDizzyO]

@HackDaMainframe it's a vocoder. a talk box requires a tube inside or near your mouth

[MrPIankton]

@MrPIankton But still, nobody is perfect. Nobody is gonna perform a perfect show. Also, why don't you take a look at other videos of her performing? 

[iMAKEvids56]

@MrPIankton I quite disagree. She can't make a good sounding song without the use of technology, by the looks of this video. It wasn't that great.

[mophead99]

@iMAKEvids56 And Bieber doesn't use it? She doesn't auto tune her voice, she uses a vocoder, loop and a mixer. Not that much tech really, just for some reason she's made it look like a lot more :')

[THEmartinkmera]

@MrPIankton oh come on, stop pissing on Justin Bieber. He does have more talent in his finger than you probably have in your whole body. Just because you don't like his music or whatever, stop bullying on him. and stop to compare musicians. Coldplay e.g. is awesome, but you can't compare them just like that to Imogen Heap. They're totally different.

UNHATE

LOVE

[MrPIankton]

@THEmartinkmera Justin Beiber has no talent. Anybody can go to a studio and just say a bunch of words and auto-tune the damn thing. All Justin Bieber is to me is another superficial image added to the mainstream.  The only reason why he looks so famous is because he's overly commercialized. I also believe that anybody who likes Justin Bieber lacks common sense.

[00kuroshitsuji]

@MrPIankton one question for you. where have you been all my life??? thank you for pointing out real music, not a squealy half rat retard tennager (a.k.a. justin beiber.) if you like her, here's a song that youll love. go to my channel and watch the video. its cool too. also look up fever ray concrete walls. <3

yours truly,

Raine McDuffy

00kuroshitsuji

[jyoung720]

@MrPIankton I'm not trying to be a jerk, because I love this song. But are you serious? She doesn't use auto-tune? Her whole sound is autotune. Do you think she's doing that with her voice? I agree she's underrated, but she has a heavily produced sound that absolutely is not possible without synthetic mechanisms to make it happen.

[allisonforbesmusic]

@jyoung720 she's adding extra voices with a machine but not auto tuning her own.

[000sanin000]

@jyoung720 Auto-tuning is the process of correcting a pitch. What you are falsely implying is actually a synthesizer. If this was auto-tuned, her voice would not be shaky but be one precise note.

[EnigmaticOricle]

I know... it's a vocoder as well. the vocoder is a harmonizer. it's a vocoder that harmonizes.

[EnigmaticOricle]

i love this song

i want a vocoder

[inzehambay4]

@EnigmaticOricle It's a harmonizer.

[protomassive]

Amazing!!! Beautiful!!! Wow!!!!

[TheReporter5000]

Its obviously a boy, she or whatever it is sounds like boy, her/his facial muscles look musculine like and... I didn't see any breasts, so yea shes either really flat chested or small breasted or it just proves that shes a man..

[etherealwinds]

@TheReporter5000 You are absurd.

[TheReporter5000]

@etherealwinds Hehe because its true?

[etherealwinds]

@TheReporter5000 Trolls will be trolls... still doesn't change the fact that it's an absurd statement to make. If someone looks tanned, does that make them indefinitely latino? If someone has small eyes, does that mean they are asian? Strange person...

[TheReporter5000]

@etherealwinds No it doesn't, but that wasn't the point for what I said now was it..

[Lineridarz]

@Gleelova33 you are cool.

[toastertastic]

@Uberby07 This song actually has a breeze because he is breathing heavily right into the microphone...

[BaginaVoobMinecraft]

shes not very good looking...but she can sing pretty good

[KingDennisJensen]

Goosebumps everytime.

[THEmartinkmera]

@KingDennisJensen unbelievable what music is capable of!

[heckawesomefunnydude]

I think she did pretty well singing this song live. Yes she sounds better on the recording but she could still sing her butt off :) She's very talented..

[icickel]

I love her songs...but I honestly like her more recorded =\ like this very cool and all, but not as effective as the recording.

[huliheaden]

@icickel Really? I like this version a lot better :) Generally I prefer live versions over studio versions, though they may not be perfect. I think it's a bit about capturing a moment for me :)

[lioneaglegriffin]

@icickel yea when working heavily with electronics is better to clean it up in a studio instead of doing it half assed live.

[ORayDizzyO]

@lioneaglegriffin It really has nothing to do with the fact of working with electronics. The way her voice is moving shows that she is seriously uncomfortable with the over all mix in her monitor send. in fact the mix on the mains sounds very awkward. preventing her from singing to her full potential

[Flow198812]

@ORayDizzyO I think the problem was that the delay was a bit too loud so it disturbed & irritated her... should have been a bit quieter, then it would've been perfect

[ORayDizzyO]

@Flow198812 Maybe that, but the volume of the delay or verb in her mix doesn't always determine her ability to hold a note. I didn't hear a problem in the level of the delay, but I only listened once.

[Crazyswedish]

I love everything about Imogen Heap =) such a talent,very unique!

[frankie519]

so good.

[KayySiee]

great

[Sanouki]

I thought this song couldn't be more beautiful, then I heard it here live. Wow.

[carguyzo6]

best stoner song ever hahah.

[mintdragon123]

Ppl just don't like her cuz of the way she looks but her voice Is beautiful better than those auto tuned artists

[mesteriassasin]

"she" looks like a dude

[DeadMansFilm]

@mesteriassasin You must have some fucked up guys where you come from. You from San Fran?

[mesteriassasin]

@DeadMansFilm im swedish and me and my friend was jusd joking around, i looove this song

[dogs4ever129]

 She's amazing! I like how at the end, she copied what she sang and played it so she can sing the other part of the song! :D

[KnoNoLimitz]

Where is the album song not live or remix daaamn i have it but want to see it here

[bukstalove]

I just love her.

[creations78]

I wonder if she knows whats comming. Nice track indeed flower, Narnia music is decent too, thankyou. Maz

[ZaneCase84]

she puts you in a trance, and looks like a fortune teller.......

[markieDee777]

2:57 wine glasses begin to break

[theun4givn2]

I love this song it's so beautiful

[peanutsauce159]

beautiful



[oneway727]

vocorder or not - she's a great artist. takes you to another place.love her!

[TDIShearGenius]

@oneway727 What do you mean vocorder or not? It does nothing to her voice but add harmonies xD

[HaloEnchanted]

I love this song. Got me through some tough shit. But without her voice being edited.. Ugh..

[Jojojawbraker]

JASON DURELO STOLE THIS FROM HER

[DefyingNoodles]

@Jojojawbraker it's called "sampling", she got payed for it. don't worry.

[yagodequay]

@Jojojawbraker he didnt steal, its called leasing a sample--she's getting money every time his song is played

[Rojo305]

Imogen Heap - Just For Now

[TDIShearGenius]

I love this... :D

[ISURFBOYTELLEM]

he or she sucks

[oswy3]

it's JDDDDDDD! :DD

[Benbobmusic]

Ableton live in the background :)

[kerpal3]

its jd :). wheres turk?

[jabes88]

BIG RED SQUARE

[jnjaltenburg]

shes very talented, and a genious of music, but honestly she didnt do very well live here. she was very pitchy, her voice just sounded like she needed rest. i respect her and believe shes very talented..just not her best HERE.

[TheTwiddlyBits]

@jnjaltenburg I'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to singing so forgive me if this is a dumb question, but what do you mean by her voice sounding "pitchy"?

[theoxiiii]

@TheTwiddlyBits A bit out of tune att some parts. A talented singer though :P

[011001er]

WHAT THE FUCK !!!! what's up with "keep the music alive", as tho music can die thats some weird shit man, drums well drums have been around since we made them, we are music! for music to die we must die. so really it should say,

thanks for your support and stay alive.

[thisgirlwritehere]

You know this video was the first time I heard this song and normally I get really picky about how they sing live but I thought that the out of tune parts were the parts where you could hear the feeling and meaning behind the song. I dont beleive it would have been as amazing with it in perfect pitch throughout the entire performance.

[xxxAnimeCuppycakexxx]

i honestly thought imogen heap was an entire band...my bad. :( OH WELL I LOVE THIS SONG!!

[4damike4]

great musician

[UngKristen]

zach braff is smarm incarnate

[eric251982]

Zach what's his name could be a host on NPR. He pulls off the "I love this but I am going to sound dull, monotone, and boring to feel and sound thoughtful" sound perfectly. I love this song.

[brocgustafson]

Why do people think she sucks live? I don't think you realize that music isn't bad live just because it doesn't sound the same as the recorded track. I personally think this sounds real. It has more expression and emotion because it IS REAL.

[JamesFTWin]

@brocgustafson It sounds real because it is real, that fact alone, however, doesn't make it sound good, which she really doesn't sound good on this performance.

[cminormusician]

@brocgustafson i like it too. but i wont deny she sung out of key a little more the such a harmony heavy song can take

[anaalvocht]

Big crap compared to album version.

[TheDarkkid499]

@anaalvocht do u kno how hard it is to get the same sound from the track live??!?!?!? for one sense she had the real song recorded with voice multipliers she cant have that there and it almost sounds exactly the same at the track so shut ur mouth intil you kno what you're talking about becuz people with real LIVE talent dont deserve to be marked down like that.

[anaalvocht]

@TheDarkkid499 I know that you moron, I wasn't talking about the effects. And even tho you say it almost sounds exactly the same, it's not. She sings it totally different now.

Idiot.

[handuktu]
