Dresden Dolls' Amanda Palmer - Aberdeen City Karaoke Verité

[kwmkc13]

So... did you just help a cactus get a free ride to Europe? Cool. =P

[JamieMaimy]

Does anyone know if Amanda's a colortura? Just wondering, she's got quite a broad vocal range.

[kathleenhannah]

hey, why not asking her via her blog "blog.amandapalmer"

1. she once claimed to read ALL the comments posted!

2. she'll be extremely flattered by your guess, i'm sure! :)

amanda 4-ever!

it was via this karaoke video i got to see and know her the first time! and i was sooooo impressed! never stopped being this way so far! :)

[JamieMaimy]

Nah, I don't want to bother the woman. Just wondering if anybody knew. ;)

[kathleenhannah]

Come on, ask her, she'll be honoured!

But anyway: "coloratura" is a term used in the-classical music-genre (only), right?

Thus, since Amanda hasn't got any musical education, one can't really tell whether she's a coloratura, alto, soprano etc

rock and pop isn't about categorizing or rating...one just opens her_his mouth and listens to what comes out...

[ZeroPointLibra]

shes certainly not a soprano... I was actually thinking she might be a tenor. when shes gets high shes using a technique even the lowest singer can use. shes either an alto or a tenor i think...

[c2bed]

she eats catuses too! just like me!

[SimonLeeloe]

1:12 is my fav part of the video

[skyehigh]

i'm in that video haha. i'm at the very end in the docs and long sweater, that's weird

[Emiror]

Beautiful Amanda running around in Prague with a nice song to it. I like.

[Aoifxxx]

thats an amazing video... im so jealous you get to see so many places and be amanda palmer AT THE SAME TIME! :)

[pinkie13ducky]

What's with the cactus Pickle?

[DonQuixote85]

Looks like the San Pedro cactus

[PepeDanzaProductions]

Oh, wow! This is amazing! Honestly, I really love the way everything was done. And I've never head this song, but I like it a lot.

Thank you so much for posting!

[WerewolfMorgue]

The cactus is so random. I love how she's writing in the Bible, too. Correcting mistakes, I think. xD

[Repoman225]

[AnonymousGroupie]

[MobbDeep1234]

[theholycrickets]

Amanda looks GOOD in that army jacket.

[WerewolfMorgue]

Sweet video. I should check out Aberdeen City some time . . . they sound pretty cool.

[xPaperBagPrincess]

I love at the end when Amanda's like "Thank you sir" I love how she says it. XD

[psychicbooty]

That was really good, Amanda. Rock on. The lip-synch skills of a veteran drag queen, I tell you.

[LaDahliaNoir]

..should have become an actress :D

[DIsillusionedCupOTea]

:D She is one.

[poopoopunk1]

those were supposed to be replies, but my computer fucked it up...

[memyselfandu]

Act like what?

[hippomaiden]

i love amanda as much as the next person, but she doesn't have to act like this

[echolalia0]

Oh, but didn't you know that making videos to other people's music is just as artistic as creating your own music? ...Hint of sarcasm.

I suppose it's an attempt to keep proving "See? We're just a couple of normal folks who do weird, silly, shit sometimes, and happen to be in a band...I even keep a LiveJournal!"

[echolalia0]

Don't worry, I still love you guys, but it's going to be harder to keep pulling that off, the bigger you get...

[poopoopunk1]

you guys are so retarded. just cause she's well known, she's not allowed to make silly videos? and she's not trying to say anything. she's just having fun. and who cares if she writes blogs..she's just writing out her thoughts just like millions of other people do.

[echolalia0]

Yeah, well, I'm a snob.

[poopoopunk1]

act like...?

[dirtbagdarrell]

i really enjoyed that, it made me chuckle. and i've been in need of a good chuckle lately. kudos to you, kudos...

[zlyoga]

love it

[memyselfandu]

Amanda, you are perfect. Love the facial expression and middle fingers on "Hey Hey Hey"

[notabandgeek72]
