Imogen Heap - Goodnight and go - on Letterman

[stoopiddub333]

omg i love it when she switches to that pronged piano type instrument, that's just genius. i know a smart youtuber will come around and enlighten us on what it is called too :D that's why i love yall

[jailinech]

she sounds like shakera



[vampslayer31]

Love it. Not her best performance. But she is one of the best artist I ever know. No one is perfect. Still love her!!! -3

[soyanagawa]

Why do you have to be so cute?

It's impossible to ignore you......

Love the lyrics...... :D

[mariaemiliamia1]

im watching it here, dying of curiosity to see if she´ll sing the end of the song like the video clip or cd's version.

[Falenir]

who ever setup the levels here should be shot! If i had been Imogen i would have been pissed!! It's obvious the volumes for the backing were fucked up!

[50sgrunge]

@a7xguy22, she plays piano very well, just watch an unplugged performance, she may use computers but Im sure she works a lot of it out on instruments

[afterwardswhat]

loved the rawness of this performance

[a7xguy22]

im not a disclamer of her because my band is about to play this song....and now looking her up i just wanna know her real talent....i know she can sing but she does all her instruments on a damn computer. wheres the real talent someone please tell me because im lost right now):

[shadowofsilence09]

@a7xguy22 one man band. A lot of talent (not bashing on you either) but she plays records and plays back.. That's one hell of a multitask

[danielolivan]

@a7xguy22 creativity finds means and ways to express itself. this is a different kind of skill she's exhibiting (stunning, at that), as let's say a drummer would be a different kind of skillful as opposed to a guitarist, or a violinist. imagine how some people would say that drumming is just hitting things, or singing is just vocal chords vibrating to certain pitches. we express ourselves this way and that, and even then, if she arranged the song on her own, that's even more amazing.

80k views..fuck off..this is amzing it should have 1mil views^^!

[HazelSSful]

@JMEJSRVMTNINBG exactly, i like how u say variety is the spice of life, wonderfully put.

[lisalong11]

@JMEJSRVMTNINBG But you are right, Imogen Heap often does this throughout an entire song, while Dave will usually do it mostly in his chorus. She is definitely unique in the frequency of the technique.

[lisalong11]

@JMEJSRVMTNINBG Dave Matthews does this quite a lot also. Listen to "So Much To Say" on the chorus where he says "Open up my head and let me out". He switches between the chest voice and falsetto almost every word. And he does it very effectively without becoming breathy or whispery. There are a lot of songs from him where this is a big element of his delivery. I love when artists do this by the way.

[smcbroome]

Someone wants to be Tori Amos. 

[dannykjackson]

@smcbroome That was unnecessary.

[AudreyAudio]

I like both Taylor Swift and Imogen Heap! lol

[tweedlebuggy]

100% TALENT

[Popzgirlx]

I really like her voice but its kind of weird when she goes "ah!" all the time

[huntermahaffey]

7 People are ignorant and don't know what REAL Music sounds like :)

[ecuachet]

The chick is tall!

[Insanitybrains]

man i am sick of people replying to my comments when they clearly have not read them. No i will not give her a break because i know what she is capable live. and that is not her best performance and if you call yourself a true fan then you should know that because you have seen her work. And i have performed LIVE in front on a TON of people... i am an actress and if i wasnt prepared i wouldnt do it.

[Insanitybrains]

that definitely wasn't one of her best performances. her voice was way to cracky. i do appreciate the instrument playing on the spot. very beautiful to watch. This is one of my favorite songs by her. I wasn't impressed by the vocals, though

[KKRB3]

@Insanitybrains hey give her a brake. she's on LIVE TV!!!! I bet she was NERVOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i bet everybody would be. even YOU! so give her a brake

[Hontaish]

@Insanitybrains That's just her vibrato, I think the mic enhanced it a bit too much. I think vocally she did well, considering this song has a load of harmonies, it's hard to make it sound decent without them.

[ZombieSlayerBen1]

without autotuned she sounds a bit Germinee

[jkbluesman]

good for u.

[jkbluesman]

that's ok too man... if you learn correct English grammar first. ; - ))

[thompson8305]

@jkbluesman i understand how he misspeled words...my keybord has a good amount of sauce on it to!

[starlitsky222]

@jkbluesman..no, you silly goose..I was saying she is FABUOUS!!!! "Dope" means" good!" Haha, ;) damn my young generation and our crazy words! =)

[jkbluesman]

very original,honest, and refreshing

[starlitsky222]

6 people need to get that shit out their ears cause this right here is DOPE.

[jkbluesman]

@starlitsky222........ takes one to know one

[Emsilbea]

I love how she's barefoot <3

[jkbluesman]

@Emsilbea Sade also performs barefoot with a lovely dress. great combination.

[RadexxxHippie]

what's the name of the instrument on her left side? she plays it in the refrain...

[MichaelinModeration]

@RadexxxHippie its an array mbira

[RadexxxHippie]

@MichaelinModeration thanks, it sounds so amazing, i want to play it too :D

[adepated]

she is a genius 

[CelestialEmbodiment]

Is he Dave's brother or what?

[rosswatt1979]

@CelestialEmbodiment twat

[CelestialEmbodiment]

@rosswatt1979 : Employee.

[ZadkiniDiscoLover]

she is a real artist not just a perfomer... I LOVE YOU

[rodriguez22122]

I been looking for this song forever it feels like, i love this song. i just start groovin Lol i love it

[cavudog]

It's interesting to listen to this after seeing her live and you can tell her voice has changed and matured slightly over the few years it's been. It's still hauntingly beautiful at parts whilst being the musical masterpiece it really is. I just love the transformation if you want to call it that.

[Bim261]

6 people were so euphoric after seeing this video that they fainted, subsequently *accidentally* pressing the dislike button.

[paintrain1254]

@Bim261 No, they actually hit that button because they disliked it. Stop being mindless, people have an opinion.

[billyboyinbc]

I get the willy's every time I watch this. She is so on!

[metalworx3]

check her out with jeff beck doing Blanket, just awesome, no nerves there

[00driftaway00]

She Has An Amazing And Such A Unique Voice..

[Riku4everlove]

You can hear in her voice how nervous she is. Bless her.

[rasmus1tokiohotel]

@Riku4everlove Yeah, it's so hard to go up there and sing...and it's hard sing while being nervous. :) She is quite brilliant, no matter how nervous she could be. ^_^

[OmgshItsCharlisa]

Tell me why the ones who cant sing are more discovered?Dude Imogen Heap is awsome and shes not exactley out there but taylor swift is?wth?the girl cant sing seriously..anyways Imogen shud be out there more I tell my friends tht i listen to her music and their like "who is tht"but if i say taylor swift or another bad singer their like "oh yea have u herd her new song"lol

[AlwaysTeatime]

She's barefoot.

[XmusicmeisterX]

Aw, she seems nervous. But regardless, she's amazing.<3

[SaturnGirlDark13]

lalalalalalalalalalalalalalala­lalala <3

[DevianneSvenson]

I like the lalala part haha.

[BelieveIntheBucket]

lol. get a band. haha

[anjachen86]

think i fell in love with her ;)

[Jouwl]

The shakiest voice I've heard :P

[INF3darkgreen]

I've seen her play live before and she always seems a little nervous and shaky at first but she usually gets into and is amazing

[optimisticautiously]

god, she's amazing...pure talent...i love her

[mariarules11]

Awwem she must be alittle nervouse, her voice is a wee shaky.

But no worries, Immi is a star. XD

[tinachipp]

I'd like to sit every Taylor Swift fan down and have them listen to Imogene to see what REAL talent sounds like! It's amazing that mediocrity can rise above real talent with the grammy crowd.

[steelyman08]

@tinachipp

I know it. . . but it will always be that way. After all, what makes a treasure so valuable? If any Tom, Dick, & Jane could find it, there would be no Imogen Heap or others as unique as she (-:

[elkabong453]

@tinachipp Would be a waste of your time... they are fans of whatever the radio tells them is cool for 6th graders.

[SaturnGirlDark13]

@elkabong453 i'm in 6th grade, i love imogen heap <3

[yesitstom]

@tinachipp I agree 100% she does this all solo...I am so amazed.....

[RockNPopCountryGirl]

@tinachipp hey! im a taylor swift fan, but i also adore Imogen Heap! to me they both are wonderful singer for their own different wonderful reasons.

[HazelSSful]

@tinachipp I love imogen but happen to love taylor also. Some people respect all genres of music. like me.

[ChrisMP1]

@tinachipp Can't you just enjoy this without insulting others? It's kind of obnoxious.

[ZSOSER69]

Imogen is so good with Jeff Beck, she seems to kick it all up a couple of notches. This is nice, but with Beck she rocks the world. She is one very good looking woman, but when she sings , she becomes beautiful.

[2pacShakur1995]

OMG she is so beautiful in her own way...i love her music and i will keep on till i meet her and i will make a song with her

[katknows]

the problem was that the instrumentals weren't loud enough and her microphone was on too loud.

[jmdodge]

Love her, but god, her live singing is so flat in this one...

[rubietheone3]

amazing how she managed to sing, play the piano and was sort of a dj ! BRAVO imogen, you're the best ! at first she seemed a bit nervous but after her vocals got better.

[BLUESMANRONCHICAGO]

@rubietheone3 FIRST TGIME I SAW HER WAS WSITH JEFF BECK DOIN ROLLIN AND TUMBLIN, SHE IS VERY TALENTED AND HAS COOL VOICE

[zigzag97990]

you cant even notice her accent ;)

[zigzag97990]

shes soooooooooooo pretty............i think!

[CatchTh3Wind]

Does anybody know the name of the string piano she has? its like an embocrum or something?

[oggb4mp3]

@CatchTh3Wind  It's called an array mbira

[BATHUMAN]

hmmm, she shouldn't have done this, vocals are all over the place, she should leave the music to backing tracks or musicians, too complicated to operate and sing at the same time

[billy2bob]

She does this live all the time, dork.

[vivianmari]

this show is where i saw her first and was so fascinated by her music and this song :)

[Paigersrawr]

I LOVE THIS SONG.Imegeen is my fave singer

[Eugenios]

E X C E L L E N T ! ! !

[SaturnGirlDark13]

a little harsh in the beginning. ok though. . .

[billy2bob]

I think she is very nervous to be on Letterman. But she relaxes when she gets into the music.

[ilovekeane]

I think she knew herself that it wasn't her best.

[Jagersmom]

Yes, i also enjoyed her performance with jeff Beck on "Blanket"!!!!

[tinachipp]

Check her out with Jeff Beck at Ronnie Scott's in London......she was sheer perfection on "Blanket"!

[CrayolaNumber1]

I felt bad for her at the begining.

Great job immi ! You dit it !

[juliannarox]

that was so beautiful! she is so beautiful! i love what she does with her hair! her dressing style and her vocal style is very rare and gorgeous! love you Immi!
