Katie Melua Live

,

Yesterday my friend and I went to a concert of Katie Melua, one of the best song-writers and singers today. Her singing skills are simply stunning; she has control over her voice way above any other singer in this genre. She practicly doesn't sing vibrato, which is widely overused (and abused) and I believe it is a bit "old school". The thing with vibrato in singing is that is not really to be used excessively but only slightly when the tone is already at it's finish. Before that singer must use other techniques to add warmth and richness to his/her's voice. Needles to say, Katie does it perfectly. And her band plays flawlessly along. Just listen... bigsmile Her live performance is even better!

So you can imagine that it was a night to remember. I was there to photograph. As usually, we could take photos only during three songs, which makes it difficult to focus and make the best of it. Since my last photo session at live concert is more than 6 months ago, I must admit I became a bit rusty. I am not 100% happy with the results, there are flaws, but I'll remember them for the next time.

So, here it is wink

PS: photos are taken with digital and with film camera. Can you distinguish them?

Such melancholy ... leaving me feeling peaceful and content, not gloomy and sad. Thanks, I hadn't heard of her before. Your images of the show are very well done also with lots of uumph and energy in each.

She's beautiful, but in some different way. Like you'd have to look at her at some other angle.
And the same is her singing.
