amy macdonald-this is the life@pinkpop 2008

mooiste stem van alle vrouwlijk zangeressen. niet zo iri hoog en kinderachtig maar rustig en volwassen

To all those people complaining about her live perfomance:

The most notable difference between live and studio is her (imho very nice) accent. Meaning she can sing without. I think the live perfomance with this nice accent and a less polished single style is the way the song should be and she intends it to be.

The studio version got sugarcoated to be more likeable for the masses. And well, the commercial sucess proved them right.

@DanielWbrot I totally agree with you!

I'd like to add, though, that there is another major difference between live and studio with Amy, that is in live performances she sings a lot deeper (2 octaves or smth).

Apart from that, I think there is little point in keeping auch a voice as hers unchanged in the studio version, since a radio device in a car or restaurant (or even at home) can't render the nuances anyway and is bound to sound different than live anyway. hence the standardisation.

the sad thing is that you are used to that difference actually... there is not supposed to be a remarkable differance, i can give you several example bands of different music styles who can perform very close to perfect live on stage(RHCP, RadioHead, Arch Enemy, or simply any classical music performer), which as it should be in my opinion since i prefer live performers to studio dependant singers

Besssst accent ive ever heard in my entireeee life .

Ma lei che ha una voce dolcissima...dove ha preso questo vocione?

aq malı

this performance is not totally bad, but by saying that you actually neglect all those real "live performer's" who can sing exactly the same as the studio version of their songs. She doesn't deserve a 4-5 star for this live performance, be honest...

I completely understand and agree that this is not the greatest performance. But it seems to be extremely common that you hear a performer that sounds great, and then they end up being a disappointment live. I should have added "Why are you surprised?"
