    This song is a belter, and Linda Perry's voice in the recorded version is incredible. A friend and I used to sing it in the car on the way home from work when it first appeared on the radio in 1993 (yes, I am that old). I still love it now, 30 years later ☺️

      On the recorded version, the word "Revolution" is sung with such power that I used to say it was my favorite sung word in any song.

    Every time I hear it, I think of one of my best friends wife. She LOVES doing this song on karaoke... and she's deaf. People laugh sometimes, or look at her like its pitiful that she's off key, but she enjoys every minute of singing it, every time... and thats just cool as shit, honestly. 😎
    Music means more than being "good". 💯

    This song always lifts my spirits and puts me in a good mood. And I really like the style the women had, with the dreadlocks and braids, boots and tattoos. A cool and rocking group of ladies, and a total ‘90s classic forever.

    While driving on the highway this came on the radio and my girlfriend at the time got excited and cranked it up. It really surprised me because she was not known to have much of an appreciation for music, but she could really get into this song. The only other song she liked was "Bitch" by Meridith Brooks.

    This is such an amazing song! Never seen this live version, but it perfectly demonstrates the inherent power and dynamic of a great performance versus a "technically perfect" recording. She is the rare bird that inspires singer/songwriters like me. The quest to just cut loose and put yourself out there as you feel it is extremely rare and exactly as it should be. And I love that you not only get it, but respect it. Thanks for this one! Love your passion, Beth!

    Love the conversation about the duality of music in terms of what's emotionally engaging and what's technically correct or classically pretty.

    Hi Beth, this song saved their career as they struggled through their 1st 3 albums and they were almost dropped by their record label. Kiss Alive was a monumental album for them. You have to see them live to truly appreciate the energy they bring and the energy that the audience gives back in return.

  • @erickent3557
    @erickent3557 Год назад +1

    Yeah, a struggle of the technical reaching for emotion, or emotion reaching for technique. In some genres, emotion creates its OWN technique. This song is a cool track, an interesting post-punk intersection. Linda Perry's vocals are AMAZING for their crisp, emotional edge, and power. I dig it.

    That larynx thing explains so much! Years ago I was explaining to my mom that Elvis's voice was actually kinda high but he just made it sound deep - and I think that's what I was trying to get at! And the duck-face thing also helps explain why both Elvis ans Billy Idol (who I think did the same thing) both had those signature snarls - maybe?

She has such a beautiful voice.

    5:55 Beth mentions singers wanting to make their voice beautiful… I read an article in a magazine right after Stripped (Christina Aguilera) was released and Linda Perry was interviewed. She said one of the things she worked with Christina on was exactly this… allowing her voice to be “ugly” and raw. You can 100% hear that throughout Stripped and it’s fantastic.

    I love the 4 Non Blondes and I've only seen the studio version [I think it's the official music video] - your explanation of her voice is very helpful and it helps me to understand why she is quite flat on quite a few notes I would expect that she isn't that flat at some other shows. She does have a beautiful, powerful voice. As I'm listening to this, it seems like she is really putting her voice through the hoops; I love that she is so expressive and doesn't hold back. I can't figure out why the song is called "What's Up" rather than "What's Goin' On". I wished my favorite young superstar would let loose like this (if she could) - it would add so much to her repertoire.

    The 90's had so many bands with very unique sounds, gotta love it, I mean if you look at the 90's 1 hit wonders..they're all so completely different, I can't describe it well but sometimes I think music peaked in the 1990's and it's gone downhill ever since, and heck I love 80's music and the older stuff over a few genres, the 90's had such a great culmination of instruments and techniques and compositions and passion and creativity, that decade was like a last hurrah for music, they made music like they had something to prove in the 90's and this was before marketing and the digital era totally ruined it
