Some nice ukulele :
Mia Farrow and Jeff Daniels : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_vOuVTrvJpM
Steve Martin : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyinJyWUhas
Daniels sang making it sound like a very old recording from early 30's. I wonder if there was also some equalition to emule old record sound, or if it was just a singing style.
Martin, well, he is often very talented.

Where are we on the Uketeq project?
Love the Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters clip. Great harmonies.

]]>I did more a bit of fun than a real critic, since the video looked out synchrony, and piano playing sound and the video was not matching. The equalization wasn't good anyway. And the piano had some feeling of out tune here and there.
So I finished with a bit of humor about her voice. I know it's a singing style.
Anyway the video and equalization didn't helped her.
Lenny, I know you like a natural style singing, not loud, with some whisper here and there, specially for women on piano.
But I think Eliane Elias do it better than Nellie Mckay.
Ok, this time I will not make fun of Nellie, but let her make fun :

Polemic... Watch before moderation take it off...
But she agree with equal working wages... Hey, how much Paul McCartney do in a consert???
She sings better here than in the other thread Jake posted.
I bet people like her cause she is somehow like a normal (when normal was more normal than today) friend or girlfriend singing close to us, for us, instead of a ultra pop star able to thunder out high notes in loud shouting fashion. And due her blond 50's style too...
