Great voice.

I wouldn't buy a used guitar from her.

Nice job well done !....I have heard some of the best musicians & singers of all kinds in the streets of New York City and in the Subways growing up......they don't get the respect deserved,...proving its not the talent which it should be but who you know and of of course all about the mighty $$$$$$ and who can make it from your talents..

Ps: the Bose has nothing to do with it .....
she would sound good on any good PA..

I disagree, Donny. The clarity and overall sound quality of the Bose systems is unsurpassed, and this obviously shows through with her vocals. Those vocals sound quite crisp and clean to me - not muddied at all.

As for whether or not her talents get discovered or recognized, that has always been a crap shoot. Yes, having connections makes a huge difference, however, it's often up to the performer to make those connections on their own in order to be successful. I too have met many fantastic and very talented individuals in the wonderful world of entertainment, many of which will never be discovered and go main stream. It's just the nature of the business.

Garry listen close its a bit distorted to me

As I said many tiomes before to each his own......
After performing with the Bose L1 & Comapcts on stage many times ....
It's just not my cup of tea sorry. My 3 Pc Yamaha DXR8/EV ZXA1 system I use now is amazing for my needs.

Donny, I'm not hearing any distortion at all, but what the Hell, I'm old and deaf. And, I'm very glad you are happy with those Yamaha speakers. Of course, you have been happy with all the other sound systems you've had in the past as well. I suspect you will see Yamaha come out with a NEW vertical array sound system in the not too distant future - everyone else has.

Gary

Gary I doubt it,...if they do I WON'T be buying a vertical anything anytime soon ever again sorry.I learned my lesson. ...please enjoy whatever you use. AS tleast we agree on the S-950...just sayin' ....

This a good example of how a great vocal performance can be still effective with a very simple accompaniment.

Paul, I agree. Kinda like the way I performed 50 years ago when I first got out of the U.S. Navy. It was me singing my heart out, plunking chords on a 6 string acoustic guitar, run through an old pawn-shop, tube amp, a beat to Hell Shure mic and sitting on a bar stool for 4 hours on Friday nights.

Cheers,

I listened to this twice trying to hear the "great vocal performance". Not exactly how I'd label it. But then again, different strokes for different folks.

chas

I was thinking the same thing..

She has a great voice . If you your not able to hear that then that's fine . I guess there is no point in talking about the great clarity of the bose system she was using either 😊.

So Spalding, does that mean that one must subscribe to the 'majority' opinion or be rebuffed. Don't be so quick to fall prey to the 'herd' mentality. And never forget that music, like most art forms, is a very subjective thing. All I know is, I'm not dropping anything in her guitar case. As for the BOSE clarity, with her raucous tone, I'd say that it's working against her. JMO. No others need agree.

chas

A "great vocal performance" is questionable..I didn't agree with the statement either..

As for the "clarity"....I could not determine the clarity...The recording was poorly mixed (too hot), and recorded on a portable recorder, compressed to an MP3, and listened on a laptop...You guys have great ears..

I listened on my desktop with Yamaha MS50 speakers and heard absolutely no distortion. As for her vocal ability, well, it's OK for a street corner busker, but nothing that would make me toss money into the guitar. Donny said he could hear distortion, I couldn't, my wife couldn't, my kids didn't hear any either. Chas has a point about the clarity, and maybe it did work against her - not my kind of music, so I cannot comment on that aspect. Keep in mind, though, that it appears that she is using an old SM58, probably plugged directly into the Bose Mic input, which means there are no effects other than the 2-band EQ, so if that's the case, everything, including the guitar, will be completely dry. If she would have run everything through the T1-Tonematch mixer, and maybe add a cheap Roland drum machine, I believe there would be a huge difference in her vocals and the overall depth of the sound. One of you experts ought to have a talk with that young gal.

Cheers,

Gary

No Chas . I have never been a follower when it comes to my appreciation of music . Neither am I saying that other people have to agree with my views. there was a smiley face input after my comments but for some reason from my phone it doesn't come out as a smiley face but just as numbers. It was a light-hearted comment nothing more .

But I would say that I have heard many Street buskers as I live in a huge metropolitan city with lots of musicians playing live on the streets. This lady is very much a cut above most of what I have heard on the streets vocally .And the sound was extraordinarily clear. The person holding the camera moved from their position and the sound was equally clear no matter where they were. For me of all the demonstrations of the bose system I have heard, this was the most convincing. Especially in an outdoor setting.

I definitely hear a distortion. But I think it is probably not a distortion of the Bose, but of the video recording.
