Vocalist does a great David Lee Roth impression!

And ye can have "stage presence" without jumping around. Interacting with fellow band mates (so it doesn't look like everyone is in their own world) is an excellent way to do this - like during a solo, go back to back with the vocalist/guitarist (or bass player, but he's pretty far away) - or get in each other's faces and make faces at one another - and jam (it's very 80s - but when you're covering Van Halen, you can get away with it). :)

It can add so much to a performance when you see the musicians interacting with each other and feeding off of each other. For example, the guitar duet in "Hotel California" live at the Capital Centre in 1977 you see Walsh and Felder facing off to each other and the interaction between them is just... delicious.The duet starts just past the 5 minute mark.

Another good one is from the Bob Dylan 30th Anniversary Concert Celebration with everybody and the kitchen sink performing "My Back Pages". All of these great musicians are having a blast performing together.

Youtube had some "Fade to Black Reaction" videos because sometimes I watch people react to Heavy Metal songs, who are hearing them for the first time - and one of them was a woman who goes by the Charismatic Voice who I love listening to her take - so I listened - and she mentioned how amazing Fade to Black probably sounds on Piano - so I decided to look it up. It sounds great.





But it definitely sounds much better on guitar... especially acoustic and these guys... holy hades... so amazing...






This guy does it much closer to how it really sounds...

Still madly in love with her voice. And when she forgets the lyrics... it's the cutest. lol

It's the song that first made me a fan of hers... "When the Dragonborn Comes"

I really like her cover of this song...




Her with two others covering Michael Jackson's Billie Jean... and doing awesome...





She does a great job on vocals with this... a guest plays piano.





And she does a great Fleetwood Mac cover...

Better one:




She began singing when she was just four. Only ten days after posting this on TicTok she landed a record deal with the Jonas Brothers.

Can I please take a minute to say how awesome Postmodern Jukebox are?



(I first got into them when they did a remake of the "Pinky and the Brain" theme. I liked them back then, and still do) :D

I've never played any Zelda at all, but I liked this. :D It's just infectious fun.

I'm not sure why Demi Remick is dressed like that, but presumably it has something to do with Zelda that I don't know about? Can someone explain, please?

I am very impressed. The orchestration (especially the transition to Gerudo Valley) is unexpected, but very good. Demi is, of course, amazing - the sequence is obviously very energetic, but she never loses her smile -- and then switches to a sword-baton-twirling sequence. Very nice. :)

After that, I watched this - just because I was curious (and I know a little more about Mario than I do about Zelda) - and I was mightily amused. (Especially at the ending) :lol:
