Herbie and Christine

[JoeM]

He: Oh he sure can play. She: very painful

[decocritter]

She started off okay .....then her scatting lost it. She got very carried away..


Love Leon Russel's version of it.

[Guitarman]

There's a 60ish guy who can play. She was sort of hanging in but at the end yikes.

[JoeM]

She's got it but I just can't understand why she just doesn't stop all dat nonsense and ...sing. Maybe she needs to get older, WTF?

[Guitarman]

She's just not a jazz vocalist. She shouldn't of even tried to scat. That she was able to hold it together and sing the song over all those amazing reharmonizations and substitutions that Herbie was throwing at her says a lot. She just can't improvise.

[JoeM]

Yup, you hit it. I got the new Andrea Bocelli - Amore CD and her harmony lines were pretty amazing. Then she started the scatting, ugh.

I thought you were talking about the new hit movie about the cars...

y'know Herbie (the love bug) and Christine (the psycho murderer car)

but I guess not...

[N-OS X-tasy!]

I saw the beginning of the performance but not the end, so I missed the scatting. I thought she started out quite well, though. Also, she looked classier than I've seen her look in a long time.

The stewardship of a master such as Hancock is precisely what the young Ms. Aguilar needs at this point in her career. I hope she continues to follow this path.

[Fritz]

too many solos as once. started off well, then fell apart quickly. but Christine was better then I'd heard in a while.

[Zoidberg]

(I thought the same thing, Hal).

But agreed; Christina needs to go this direction and away from the bubble gum. (Do they still call it bubble gum pop? or is it crack pop? I dunno.)

And, FWIW, Chick has a new CD out too:
