I like Heather Headley. Her voice is very commanding. It grabs the audiences attetion and holds it. I dont get the bald thing though. I dont think she sang it with much infleprction though. She had the same look on her face the whole song. And the only thing that moved was her hands. It was as entertaining as i thiught it would be. But on a brighter side she did sing it pretty well and her voice is amazing.
ReplyDeleteThe song "Easy as life" was performed by Heather Headley. I have heard this song before because Cassidy performed it in summer school! I really like the song, and it's really deep and passionate. Unlike the other videos we watched, Heather Headley stayed in the same place, but she still entertained the crowd. She used her eyes a lot and towards the end where the music got more powerful, she began to use her arms. Heather Headley has a beautiful voice, and I have listened to her sing in AIDA, and she's an absolutely amazing singer a performer.
ReplyDeleteits easy to tell that Heather Hedley has an amazing voice. its full of power and passion, and has a depth that is matched by few songs. you can feel the emotion seeping through into her voice, even though it feels as if she is trying to hold it back. i loved how she barely moved the entire performance, the only appreciable movement (other than her eyes) were her arms at the end of the song.

I've seen various performances of this song, including Cassidy's. What I noticed is that in every performance, the mood is the same; serious and strong. She incorporates a lot of hand motions that describe the story of the song. Hand motions and the volume of the voice is very important. The volume in singing enhances people to comprehend the mood of the song, whether it's happy, sad, or angry. Heather Headley has a powerful voice and I noticed the intensity in her performance progress as the song got closer to the end.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this video because she captured her character so quickly, right from the beginning you could tell that she was in character.
ReplyDeleteI also feel that she showed her emotion very well by the change in her voice or her actions on stage.
And threw out the whole song, she made the audience feel the same way that she was feeling.
Heather Healey is amazing! Her voice is so powerful and she sounds like she takes her role as e lead very seriously. She has great emotion that shows on her face and it also shows in her voice.
ReplyDeleteThe song Easy as Life is a very powerful song and Heather Headley made it even more powerful with her singing. When she sang her voice was very strong and very emotional. I also noticed that her hand movements also moved with the song. Her facial expression was very emotional. This song is really cool and I wished I watched this show.
ReplyDeleteI liked Heather Headley's performance because she sang very well and she also appeared to be very concentrated. Her style of singing is different from others because she doesn't move around a lot and she doesn't really use any hand motions. She sings very well, but she just stands still. I guess it is based upon everyone's personal preference, but I find it more exciting when people use hand motions while they are singing. I also enjoy when people express a lot of emotion through their singing, and she did that very well.
ReplyDeleteHeather Headley's performance of "Easy as Life" was amazing. She had a different tone, intensity, and expression for everything she sang. Her face and eyes expressed exactly what the lyrics were saying. For the really intense parts, she added her arms in which made it seem even more intense to me. It thought Heather's performance of this song was very enjoyable to watch.
ReplyDeleteThe video clip of Heather Headley singing Easy as Life was interesting. The way Heather Headley preformed was different than most preformances that I have seen. She didn't do any dancing during the preformance. And Heather Headley didn't use hand motions during her prefomance. But, the video still kept my attention because she has such a strong voice. And the stage was interesting. I actually enjoyed this video.
