"Making my way down down" ...

[kaysha]

you can also clearly hear here say migamaway

[Martin.]

And as I stated, there are OTHER performances in which she says "down down".

Anyone know why she does this?

[Martin.]

Oh, and by the way, you can actually hear her singing "MAKING my way..." not "miga-my-way"!

Mmmmkay?
I'm with Kaysha on this one: she's probably not pronouncing it the way she should.
Not worth making a WHOLE thread about it, is it?  :?

Yes, because I'm interested in the reason WHY she's singing it "down down" instead of "down town". I don't see anything wrong with wanting to know the reason, do you?! :?  :?  :?  :roll:  :roll:  :roll:

[kaysha]

you seem to be the one that knows.  why don't you go figure it out since you can't remember?  You can go audit every live performance of ATM posted on youtube and determine if there is a pattern to when she says downdown vs downtown.  that is what i would do for something *I* cared so much about.

my point was, there is no reason *i know of* that she would intentionally say down down so if she is.. *I* don't know why and i also thought it was amusing the enunciation of Makin' My Way so i wanted to point that out, as well.

In all the many times i have seen her perform live i have never picked up on her saying "down down".

making things italicized, bold and larger give off a tone in text communication that i don't think you intend but it can irritate people, like myself.

aside from that, she is bound to be touring soon so that seems like a great question to ask her and report back the findings.

EDIT: Delete the topic, please.

if you listen to the preformance that is done on sirius she says town... I think she is just lazily saying lyrics... so what- what is up with everyone getting hung up on one difference in lyrics like the word and or just the way that the word is said

I'm not talking about the Sirius performance though ... and the post wasn't supposed to cause offense to anyone, it was a simple enquiry.

ANYWAY

Can someone delete it, please? I know one of you admins/mods have seen my request.

[kaysha]

personally I think the question is fine.  if she is doing it intentionally it would be nice to know.  I just think we have exhausted the knowledge of the people that have read this thread, and no one has the answer... so I would:

a) review many performances of ATM to see if there is a pattern of when she sais down down vs down town, like when she has changed lyrics when she is in SF only...

b) ask Vanessa at the next show and report back the findings.

just because people are of the opinion that it is incorrect and that saying down down isn't intentional doesn't mean it is fact, it is merely an opinion.

I am so glad you hear MAKING (all caps, thanks for that...).  how many recordings have you listened to confirming you hear making every time?

It completely would not surprise me if she busted out a nearly complete alternate, screwy version of the lyrics someday with a few words twisted around and some lyrics completely eroded to jibberish.  I mean, how many times do you suppose she's performed that song?  She's already resorted to giving it an alternate title at some shows. :wink:

You mean like "A Thousand F**ing Miles"?  :lol:

I loved the alternate title.

It wasn't nearly as funny the second time I saw her.  I wish she was more natural in concert... so many of the things she says sound very premeditated.  Forgive me for not remembering any examples  :?
