Fall from Grace Blockbuster Awards
 

Hi all..
Does anyone have video for this? and if so could u send it to me?

I have it on Audio..would love to see this video...Stevie Rocked out on this...


Let me know...

JV:]

No but I saw it on youtube, it may still be up. Not sure. You should check, though. :wavey:

I think the flames on the screens they used for FFG are being recyled on American Idol. :lol:

I think it's somewhere on YouTube. The audio kicks ass. What power! But Sheryl being there? Er .... :distress: Sorry -- she pales in her shadow! But then again who doesn't?

you know, I've noticed that whenever Sheryl sings harmony with Stevie something is just off...like Sheryl can't find her part. this is a good example. but I love that "wahwahwah" part at the breakdown of this song...and it amazing during this performance.

damn, this song should have been remixed!!!

Definitely. In Sorcerer, too. On her own she sounds pretty good, but next to La Nicks she sounds very shrill and out of tune [I think I may get slammed for saying that!]
As a production team or as two songwriters maybe they work well together. But their voices to me seem totally incompatible.

I think studio tracks sound fine...but live she just doesn't cut it. I think Sheryl has the potential, but just can't find that harmony without creating dissonance (sp?).

Wow, I think they sound great together in general. I don't like Sheryl much, or not like her much, but I like her when she sings with Stevie. Better than her shrill, over perfect sounding backup singers.

I love Stevie's voice in harmony with pretty much anyone, including Sheryl. FFG at the Blockbuster awards is damn fine, IMO. But nothing beats them doing "Difficult Kind" at the AHI Benefit. NOTHING! :cool:

I have the video if someone hasnt sent it to u yet I will

I hate her "over-perfect-sounding" backup singers. They are not good! Their vocals are too dated and shrill. I think Stevie sounds best with male backup singers like in "Real Tears".

Ah! Yes. Stevie's backup singers are great singers, but I often long for a voice that is a bit rougher like Stevie's. However, in the past her backup singers have been dynamite with her. Mainly when Stevie's voice more closely matched theirs, a la "Nightbird". That SNL performance with Lori is amazing.

It was one of many of the legendary priestofnothing vids that they took down. i hated youtube for soing that!:mad:

Oh, that's too bad. I'd never seen that before priest put it up on youtube, either. It was fierce, that sucks I can't watch it again.

YOUTUBE!!!!! *shakes fist*

My memories of this version of the song:

I played it for my then-roommate and I noticed he was playing air guitar after the first chorus (he had done so for the studio version as well), but unlike the first time, he specifically remembered doing so for this live version. He was very much taken with the power behind the song and even suggested I call Stevie's A&R people to get them to make "Fall From Grace" the next single and have that be the video.

I played it for my friend Nicole and she literally applauded after Stevie twirled at the very end of the song. She likes the twirl! :D

It's kind of funny, yet odd that they took down the Stevie stuff saying that it was copyright infringement. There are tons of other artists random stuff up there, vids, tv appearances from cbs, nbc etc. that would fall into the same category as copyright infringement. So it makes you wonder why Stevie's stuff was targeted.

Well, call me tone deaf. I think Sheryl sounds totally on key live. She strikes me as much more able to hit tone than Stevie, who is hit or miss when it comes to nailing that root.

I think SC is on key, my prob. is I am not that fond of her voice. Having said that, I like her music and respect her huge talent.

I'm not trying to Sheryl bash, but really, she doesn't have that great of a rock and roll voice. I know she is a trained operatic singer---but she can't sing rock and roll to save her life. And the thing is, I really want to like Sheryl Crow, I think she's a great multi-instrumentalist and she can co-write really good, infectious pop songs with great guitar hooks and fun groovy licks, and don't even get me started on her fabulous production credits, but her voice just doesn't do it for me. I think her best vocals were on Tuesday Night Music Club. On that album, her voice was raw and unpolished and in some areas kind of gravely and husky sounding--really nice. Her singing of late sounds the worst of her career. It's too slick and uninspired, it really just sounds like she's just phoning it in at this point. For instance, I just heard another one of her new songs off of Wildflower the other day and it sounds like a commercial jingle! Girlfriend needs to go back to Rock School.

it's not sc bashing per se . . .
 

it's not bashing miss crow to say your not into her stuff -
and i'd agree that she is probably a better back up singer than stevie (stevie turns everything into a duet anyhow - and that's why we love her)
but i think when crow sings with stevie she generally ends up with the really high parts - and those are the toughest to hear on stage (yes i play and get stuck with high parts too - lol)

all that said -
i think crow is amazing - i love her stuff -
tough and vulnerable - c'mon c'mon is just blazing cd for me
great rock and roll songs with some ballads
i see many qualities musically that i like about stevie - in sheryl

just my humble opinion in my first humble post
woo hoo

^ Welcome to the board! And I love C'mon C'mon too. :nod:

Thank God for Sheryl
 

IMO

Had it not been for Sheryl being the talented girl she is...there might not have been A TISL Album..at least not the way it was. I give her kuddos for being a tough girl in a mans world...doing her thing and giving Stevie's songs life.

Je suis d'accord. If you could listen only to Sheryl's harmony on the Blockbuster Fall From Grace, you would be better able to hear the amazing pliability & tonality that Sheryl has. She's an excellent backup/harmony singer.

yes - i am sorry - i think my post was confusing - i think we are making a similar point -
i think s crow is a fantastic back up singer -
and i agree her tone and pliableness (adaptability?) are first rate -
i was disagreeing with the posts that said she doesn't sound good when she backs up stevie - i think she does awesome job -

and hey - if it worked for michael jackson . . .
