    Annie Lennox singing "Why" live, at the Clive Davis show, in 2000 is everything you need to see and hear. Trust me.

    • @TheCharismaticVoice
      @TheCharismaticVoice  Місяць тому +31

      Wait. Why, or Why?

    • @tjvertigo
      @tjvertigo Місяць тому +16

      @TheCharismaticVoice it's listed as "Why" but technically it is a question 🤣

    • @oxlades
      @oxlades Місяць тому +36

      I actually prefer the recorded version of ‘Why’ … but that is because I’m greedy and want to hear Annie’s voice layered as much as possible. She always manages to raise the hair on the back of my neck.

    “Here Comes The Rain Again”: That song changed my life.

    • @Maph1sto
      @Maph1sto Місяць тому +12

      Honestly, same. This was the song that really first wowed me with Annie's voice, and while I agree that her later solo material, like "Walking on Broken Glass" and "Why" are more complex, I would recommend starting with "Here Comes The Rain Again" if for nothing else than to enjoy the progression from the 80s Eurythmics sound before diving into her more evolved solo work or even later Eurythmics reunion work.

    • @dogmaticpyrrhonist543

      Either "Here comes the rain again" or "There must be an angel" either of those are mind altering.

    She also sang with David Bowie live doing Under Pressure. Although no one can do Freddie's voice her performance was outstanding.

      This is the one I was going to recommend. Great performance!

    • @AJBtheSuede
      @AJBtheSuede Місяць тому +17

      The reason it worked so well is that she DIDN' try to do "the Freddie Mercury part". She did a very Annie Lennox part in a duo that was an artful collab.
      David's style and voice had also evolved a lot since the original Freddie/David duet. After all, there's eleven years between the versions... Both versions are outstanding :)

      “Where did she get that dress?” Bowie could equally have asked “How well did she work that dress?”

    @bronwenbartlett-freelancew9629 Місяць тому +144

    Annie is the Queen of 1,000 Voices. There Must Be an Angel, Here Comes the Rain Again, Why?, Little Bird... just pick any song and get blown away.

    • @bronwenbartlett-freelancew9629
      @bronwenbartlett-freelancew9629 Місяць тому +6

      In fact if you want food comparisons, Angel would be a lemon sundae, Rain would be a vast empty buffet, Why would be the steam on tea in winter and Little Bird would be a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster. Also, they will kill the notion that she's a low voice. That lady has RANGE.

    @viewer8888 Місяць тому +152

    For Annie Lennox must-reacts, I suggest "No More I Love Yous" and "Walking on Broken Glass." Both show great range of voice and styles, but also some fun acting skill.

    • @GEOFFAMORTON
      @GEOFFAMORTON Місяць тому +1

      I've recommended NO MORE as well. To me, that showcases her voice at its most versatile. Possibly because it was a cover, she either followed their original melodics or was inspired to expand upon them.

  • @katriette

    "Into the West" - Just so tender and powerful. Definitely a goose-bump inducer.

      Aretha's gotta be top of the list. Aw nah, strike that, Aretha's at the top of every list. But a voice like Annie Lennox's, going up against ARETHA and the both of them just cutting loose in sheer joy? We're still feeling that one all these years on.

    During covid when we were all stuck in our homes & I wound up unemployed as well with no idea how I was going to cope. I found that Annie (who I’ve loved since Sweet Dreams hit the airwaves) was reaching out from her living room via Facebook. She would play her piano and sing something she just felt like singing and sharing with whoever wanted to tune in. It was impromptu, unscripted, delightful and just right. I loved these little up lifting sessions, and yes she has a wonderful Scottish accent. I’m so glad you’ve fallen in love with her too. I want to say that you and other re-actors have taught me so much about the music I love. I know nothing about singing, music, either composing or playing it. But through your expertise I have learned how truly special these musicians are. I mean yeah, talented, but so much more than music to dance to, songs to sing along with and lyrics that reach inside and touch you. I never knew that singing and playing the drums were a super power! That was just Phil Collins! Keep doing what you’re doing, you are also very talented and I enjoy sharing your explorations and enlightening analysis of music I no longer take for granted. 😊

    Annie and Aretha such magic, "Sisters are doin' it for themselves" fabulous pair of powerful vocalists and "There Must be an Angel" which I think showcases her register in a big way as she sings all the vocals including high backing vocals that descend to a deep note, amazing range. I had the good fortune of seeing her and Dave as Eurythmics live and she sings live just like the albums. Not that many artists sing so well live in a big theatre setting packed full of people. They started with "Would I lie to you" and they had great backing vocalists. Everyone was on their feet right from the get go. Still one of my favourite concerts. There she was, head to toe in black leather, wowsers.

      It's funny. When I first heard that in the nineties, my first thought was "did this really need to be covered?". It felt so superfluous. However, over the decades it's become a favourite.

    Been a fan of Annie's voice since I was in my early teens, over 40 years, I think she's one of, if not the the best female vocalists of the last 50 years, such a vocal range

    Not only is she a fantastic vocal artist, but her work to raise awareness around HIV/AIDS is important and inspiring. She is a Global UNAIDS Ambassador. I think she is one of the most beautiful, talented, and caring souls on earth. What a gift she is.

    I just love Annie's voice. She has always been so solid, vocally. "No More I Love Yous", please! Also "Into the West" (the live Oscars performance) would be great to watch you analyze! Actually, scratch that. They cut it short in the Oscars apparently. Do the album version instead (Return of the King soundtrack). Her vocals bring me to tears every time I hear that song.

    Are you telling us that you have not listened to Anne Lennox singing "Into the West" fot the closing credits for LOTR Return of the King? She won the Oscar for that song. If not, you need to listen. Perfect musical ending to the trilogy. (As is Pippen singing the closing credits for the 3rd Hobbit movie)

    She got quite soulful even during her Eurythmics days. "Missionary Man" is a good example.

    Eurythmics’ “There Must Be an Angel” and her solo “Walking on Broken Glass” would give you a taste of her head voice, as some parts of both are higher than anything in this song or Sweet Dreams.

    I remember taking walks with my walkman in the 90th and listening to her album Diva over and over again, each song hitting the sweet spot in different time. I came back to it few months ago and it aged so beautifully, it still gave me goosebumps and doze of energy. The video for Why is stuck in my mind. Once Annie gets under someone's skin, she stays there❤

    Annie has a lovely voice. Her "Into the West" from the 3rd LOTR film is a masterpiece. Just so much more than one heard from the Eurythmics. This was so much fun!

  • @DarrellRaley

    Never heard this song from her before, but after the first line, It took about a second to realize; this is about to be one of my new favorites! Thanks for profiling it! Outstanding! 💯
    1/3 of the way through - chills, this never happens. 😮 Made it to the end! Forever changed! I think I have to put her right there just below, by a hair's width, Linda Ronstadt. Powerful performance ❤! Loved it!

  • @daz6546

    A few years ago, Annie shared an E-Mail on social media, that she had received from a radio stations talent scout. Who wanted to help her make an impression and become famous.
    Her caption was: „You think I got a chance?“

      It’s amazing the variety of musical sounds that came from Annie in her Eurythmics era. I ❤ the Be Yourself Tonight album for its amazing range from bluesy rock, to soul to smooth electronic/jazzy to angelic Melodie’s. Try doings from that and almost ANY songs from her solo work, esp. her Whiter Shade of Pale cover.

  • @cedhome7945

  • @SupaDupaFli79

    I'd also suggest her singing "Love Song for a Vampire". It was in the closing credits of "Bram Stoker's Dracula" for a reason.

  • @michellemiles9966

    My top three recommendations are 1) the original video for Why, 2) Queen, David Bowie & Annie singing Under Pressure, and 3) Into the West from the soundtrack of LOTR: The Return of the King. There are some live recordings, but I adore the perfection of the studio on that gorgeous, emotional song.

  • @evym4233
    @evym4233 Місяць тому +2

    "Walking on Broken Glass" and "Love Song for a Vampire" are two of my personal faves. the second one was done for the 90's Dracula Movie with Gary Oldman. It's GORGEOUS. Also "Pavement Cracks" from the album, Bare is excellent.

    If you don’t hear a little Janis Joplin in that ending.
    You can hear Lennox’s entire insides in the word “mine”.
    She’s a machine. Evolution in action.
    She did an album “Nostalgia”.
    It has wonderful music.
    You ask how come she sounds like a soul singer on this material, you’ll be intrigued, just believe.
    The song “Mood Indigo” is a good one. ✌️

    I just melt when Annie sings. Such expression, such a rich timbre to her voice. The first time I heard "waiting in vain" I had to liusten to it 10 times. It just blew me away. Elizabeth, overdose on Annie, it will do you no harm, in fact it will lift your spirit and make you want to sing her songs. Annie is definitely one-of-a-kind.

    Annie is my favorite singer. You MUST cover "There Must Be an Angel" from Eurythmics (it's got an angel singing operatically in it!). From her solo career, "Dark Road" is beautiful and soulful and not acknowledged nearly enough.
