I love hearing people singing Stevie songs. as of late, it's only a few that participate. what's your favorite Stevie song to sing? post it. I think we need to do Gold Dust Project Volume II (pm me if interested). I shouldn't have, after being sick for a week, but I attempted Rhiannon from the Live album. you never really understand how fierce and f*cking hard this song is til you attempt it. anyway, here 'tis.

Rhiannon is haaaaaard, dude. I've only managed to sing it once, and it saved as an mp2 file... and I can't get it to play. Still bitter about that.

Carrie and I want to sing Leather and Lace. She'll win over me, vocally, but it could work.

L&L would be cool! I want to sing Insider, but I know we'd all fight over who sings Stevie's part.

I guess I could sing beautifulchild...but do you really want to here that!?

It is the only song I may be able to potentially do the slightest bit of justice to.

^I need to hear you sing the theme song from Maude!^
compromisin', enterprisin', anything but tranquilizing,

Well after my fiasco of Castaway last time (I recorded the song way too low out of my range) I should sit this one out. However, I just might give landslide a try since I've got a karaoke version of it somewhere. I'd really love to do a modern version of Nightbird. I think that song would be great with strings instead of that tinny sounding synth that was so popular in the 80's. Or maybe just a piano with a simple bass and drum track. I always dreamed of singing that onstage with someone.

don't tempt me!! i miss that show. well, as much as one can miss a show that ended years before she was born ... but y'know.

Jaz, the rapsy throat (as mentioned above) served you well on this one, but don't do it again,don't push it too hard, or you will hurt your pretty voice!
You were really committed, especially in the "taken by, taken by the sky" and from there on. As always, I think you shine the most on the big high notes. Great attack!

I am considering Fireflies.
or, oh I don't know.

amber · #12 10-13-2006, 12:56 AM

Ah, live Rhiannon. One of my favorites to sing. I like to bust the Midnight Special one. I shall now listen to your attempt, and comment thusly: Oh, P.S., you are so going to laugh if you ever see our Insider. And you can hardly hear me, Mr. Lungs.

Nowthen. Your Rhiannon.

Great so far. Must judge by ending hystrionics. Hmmm, nice and light on the "Rhiaaaaaaaanon" harmony, good, good....your voice goes very high for a guy...what you lack in kicking ability is made up for with a nice high range...

I love your "NOO-OH-OH-OHOH!"
Now come the money shots....*sidenote, I love Christine's piano here, so moody and awesome*
Here it is! You can sing soft! So lovely on the "dreams unwind" part.
Really good on all the "All the sa-hame, all the sa-hame" parts. A tad strident, but otherwise damn, damn good. And your voice has that strident quality in the high range anyways.

Wow, really good Jazzy!

Oh, and to guy above...I've been having Nightbird fantasies as well, lately. I've been "practicing" the timing as if I were singing it with someone else.

carrie721 · #13 10-13-2006, 01:06 AM

wow, jaz, you hit that high c wayyyyyy better than i do. whenever i sing rhiannon, i either have to make sure nobody's around, or sing the lower copout version. very nice. i can get the soft rhiaaaaaaaaaaaaannons that high, but not the other stuff.

!! love the "nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!"

that was fierce, jaz. bea arthur in my sig approves, too.

jannieC · #14 10-13-2006, 07:09 AM

Downloading both Jason's and Amber's Rhiannons...but saving for later because husband is in room playing X-Box. Heh.

There's another part to that song?
