omg (for the potential... what do you think, my first favorite amazing singer barbara?)... she's been around for years and i first hear her last night... my ears are in love (but does she have the depth to understand the words that speak of her potential experience?)... and i feel so sad for her... she already looks like a lost child afraid to be all she can be in reality... i can only hope she meets someone who helps her unlearn all she is taught so she can find herself and trust herself and leave behind (and rise above) all the the normalness, conformity, and fears so accepted as the human way and human frailty so she can experience life within herself without fear or doubt or delusion... trust yourself, little one, don't believe a word they say - just trust yourself...
watch (and as i watched, fwiw, i wrote the following unsolicited review and advice)...
She is an amazing vocalist who could be an amazing singer. The former sings musical notes, the latter sings words. Whoever taught Barbara Streisand how to articulate words while singing needs to get with Jackie. Feel the words and the music and look someone (or the camera) in the eye as if the words of the song is actually a message to them, that's the next level of magic for a singer/performer. It takes maturity, experience, and understanding / feeling / expressing / communicating / personalizing lyrics, not just making amazing music (which she already does). I hope Jackie finds that :)
Slow down. The words say something, they are not just musical notes. Handling actually feeling the words of a song is scary because it shows the true depth (or shallowness) of the one singing. It takes great strength and maturity and courage which comes from within. The deeper you let it reach you, the more powerful the performance. How real can you make it without losing everything. How deep can you go and still return to the surface after the song? How high can you fly into the song and still stay grounded between songs. That is the magical journey of singing I hope Jackie finds. The potential is there.
listen...
