Gah.
I wish he'd interview her as well.
But any publicity is good publicity.
Hehe... I remember the last time when she performed NF on the show, I spammed my friends with texts telling them to tune in to the show as she was gonna be performing on it... And well... her voice kinda cracked on the "afternoooooon" bit in the bridge and my friend (unfortunately a really pretty/good one) kept giving me sh!t about how awful she sounded.
That bit is a bit tricky to sing. I don't blame her.
But I love how when she stood up and suddenly it was like... Wait, did she forget her pants? And Gordon Ramsey was like "Hello there! ".
But meh... awesome news yo!
someone said it looked like a bunch of gypsies rolled up and took over for 3 minutes. i couldn't stop laughing.
i think vanessa sounded OKAY. it wasn't the best vocal she's ever given (i think her radio performances were the best) but it wasn't the worst. but hitting those high notes right before getting into the bridge was awful to listen to. and it didn't help having the stupid violin woman sing along too. i think vanessa fired her because she messed up a few times and was just generally bad.
The problem with the violin is that 1) it just follows the melody, so there's no real harmonizing happening and 2) there's no proper microphone.
But I admit that the percussions are great.
The vocals? well, this was the time when V preferred the husky, low voice. Based on what I heard, she didn't get back yet to the falsetto, sweet voice at the time she played the song. There was some strain, obviously, but I think she pulled through it. At least, her voice didn't crack or whatever. It's not the best vocals, not the worse.
And I think, V hadn't met Skye yet during this times...
