    Saw her with Peter Gabriel last night. The audience spontaneously broke out into applause after hearing just a few notes. She was spectacular. This kind of talent does not come around very often.

      Same. Saw her with Peter in Cleveland and she absolutely blew the audience up on "Don't Give Up"

      Me too. Saw her with Peter Gabriel in Vancouver last night. She left an impression that tells me that she is not going away. Incredible sound and a multi talented performer. She nailed, Don't Give up (Kate Bush bits) and was continuously radiant on stage.

    wow, i came here by chance, very luckily! Certainly owned it and made her own. Excelent.
    I was actually looking for her version of 'A change is gonna come' having just heard it on Tom Ilube's Desert Island Discs selection on BBC R4 8/10/21 so if anyone knows where to find such a gem...?

    AYANNA GIFT
    Goddess Ayanna
    is what you are
    A super nova
    blinding star...
    Do you see
    me here below
    To play me like
    your bass cello
    Run your finger
    tips, my love
    graze down
    then up to
    my taste buds
    Vibe my
    tickled tongue
    be strummed
    by you
    Then sung
    Picked, plucked
    and keenly plunked
    till I’m within you
    stone cold drunk
    As spirits in me
    not at peace
    To sup such earful
    piquant piece
    Thy Oya’s gift
    at your command
    Reborn this
    tribal tune
    Roxanne...

    What happened to the mahogany sessions vid?

      @mere7583 5 років тому +1

      I came looking for that video and settled on this one. Don’t get me wrong this performance was great, but the mahogany sessions one felt more straightforward and sincere.

    Wow. Music Of Black Origin. She is fabulous.
    But MOBO Awards, another black institution railroaded taken to the laundry put onto the longest cycle with Bleach added.Kmt....

    • @Ancientneutrality
      @Ancientneutrality 4 роки тому

      Oh look another virtue signaling racist. FYI she took this music from a white man and played it beautifully. This music isn’t black in origin go back to your corner racist.

  • @WapajeaWalksOnWater
    @WapajeaWalksOnWater 5 років тому +2

    This is not any type of representation of Black music. Sting does not represent Black music by any stretch of the imagination, and her singing is so unsoulful, and terrible. I don't understand why people are clapping.
    I am 70, I guess there will b no authentic Soul music for my grandchildren to listen to, so sad

    • @greeneyedkygirl3939
      @greeneyedkygirl3939 5 років тому +2

      Music is universal. Her interpretation was absolutely amazing. Shes not a singer. Shes a soulful, passionate performer and her talent exudes from deep within her very being. If you cant see that, you obviously have no heart to be moved by such an amazingly, talented, gifted and beautiful person.

    • @airestt0
