Wow...every NIkka performance is better than the last! This woman is a force of nature...she should be as famous as Beyonce or Britney Spears...way more talent!! She brought the house down with this one! Love ya, Nikka!
Holy Mother of SONG...I saw this woman at House of Blues singin' her songs 5 feet in front of me and it changed my life. YOU MUST SEE NIKKA LIVE! That passion is meant to be experienced!! ♥ ♥ ♥
Wish she'd come back to Australia. Saw her doing support for Jimmy Barnes. I was front row. I think she was living on Australia at the time....well that's the impression I got. She's so intensely Soulful and it's a shame that Australians didn't get her. I can't even buy any c.ds other than Butterfly Rocket. Are Australians mad??!! She's a diva!!!!!!
it doesnt matter what color you are soul comes from the heart not from your skin color. and no one person is response for the soul in song movement. just some people come along that leaves a long lasting impression in people's life through song. so just sit back and enjoy what people like Nukka Costa brings to one's life.
Unbelievable!!! What an incredible voice she has!!! I have her cd since it came out but was never a huge fan, but now I have begun to revalue her. She is so good, one of the best voices I have ever heard. Can´t wait for the new cd.
when my man don't know all the light he has inside it makes people glow when he touches them with his smile i wanna feel whatever's hurting him, yeah when i hold him at night and know that the warmth that he feels come from within everything's gonna be alright oh, you're bringin' out the woman in me you're bringin' out the woman you need oh, i'll be everything you want me to be you're bringin' out the woman in me
I am soooo stoked to hear that Adam Lambert has been collaborating with Nikka for his next CD (some time early next year) WOO HOO! This will be epic! Two of the best voices alive, unbeatable! "NIKKABERT" FTW! :D
when my man cries the feelings i know up and leave me and every part of my soul bleeds with every tear i see i hurt so bad there ain't nothin' inside of me except the echo of the tears i hear him cry and something comes over me oh, you're bringin' out the woman in me oh, you're bringin' out the woman you need ooh, i'll be everything you want me to be
@ModfathersGunMoll This black woman agrees. While there will never be another Teena Marie, for me Nikka the heir apparent. Not Anastasia, not Joss Stone, Nikka Costa. Nikka is like some kind of freak alien love child between Teena Marie, Sly Stone, and Prince (with a touch of Janis Joplin thrown in), and me being a child of American R&B with parents who grew up with it, played it , and lived it, it dosen't get much realer than THAT.
But you see, beedieeyez, Nikka has some Southern roots. She says that her mom's from there, though I know that Nikka was born in Japan. And I don't think that she's 'affecting' that twang, judging from her speaking voice. I'm a singer too, I'm black, and I don't take anything away from her! Not all white American soul sisters are perpetrators! Teena Marie is my homegirl, and she's the real deal too! I've loved her music since I was a child, and she's still fierce! Soul has no color.
Nikka is hard...white black or indian, who cares, with a voice like that, racial barriers should come tumbling down because talent is talent. simple as
I don't care her color cause it is not color that makes a voice good or great... and she can look as white as a a sheet and still have black in her! I know! So with all of that said... I love her voice, but I do think she is missing that emotion ... I don't know enough but a voice like hers should hit me harder... Etta and Janis can bring goose bumps all over my bod,y Etta can make tears stream down my face. Aretha can make my stomach twist in knots . I don't feel her.maybe it is this recording?
what's the matter with you little girl you change to much uhhh bad bad.. Quelle horreur ...kann das nicht bis ende hoeren schade schade schlechte note NIKKI
Not more talented...nice voice, good control...but she does what most white American singers do that sound "black"...she is trying to be soulful by emulating the southern accents of Black American soul singers...and that sucks ...I can close my eyes and know she is white...by the way she sings. If she just sang ...the soul would be evident wthout that false American southern sound....=

Nobuddy do it like Nikka!
@chockolatejesus I love her too! LOL That woman is a force of nature.
She certainly gives Pink a run for her money in my book(least in the blue eyed soul department)!
I am trying to find this song on CD....
MUITO BOM
sHE REMINDS ME OF THE GREAT jANIS jOPLIN. (I hope she's stays away from the crap..)
Dam what happened to her??
It's about time for some
new music
lol i have adam lambert to thank for sending me her way Thanks ADAM
I prefer nowadays...you know what i'm saying...but i well remember the little girl with love
You forgot to add a little bit of the DNA of Sly Stone!
lol! did she say "thats my bitch" ? xD
Janis Joplin
You're right , she reminds me of Janis here alot.
check out Asaf Avidan. that's a dude that sounds like Janis Joplin .
real great music.
woah @ 2:30
@looliefernandez, sho nuff! But I just dig her music a lot more than Pink's!
What connection does she have with Sly Stone?
Just asking...
@flowerbaby562 I agree and I am also black
ugh srry but ur wrong...thats the way she sings. there is no "black". I am "black" and that right there is just pure talent
I don't care her color cause it is not color that makes a voice good or great... and she can look as white as a a sheet and still have black in her! I know! So with all of that said... I love her voice, but I do think she is missing that emotion ... I don't know enough but a voice like hers should hit me harder... Etta and Janis can bring goose bumps all over my bod,y Etta can make tears stream down my face. Aretha can make my stomach twist in knots . I don't feel her.maybe it is this recording?
