Here’s why I don’t read the comments on big ass, public websites where people post videos. Doesn’t matter if it’s YouTube, Vimeo, Blip, or whatever. The comments section of video websites are only one step (barely) above the comments you find on the website for your local newspaper.
Now then, I want you to watch this. Not only is this musician talented, but she’s beautiful and rocks the damn tech like no one’s business. As a guy who does a bit of computer music, fiddling with sequencers and loops and stuff, I have an idea how challenging her task is here. Not only that, she’s the only one working the tech, the instruments, and the voice.

Unfortunately, I’m not sure who she is. But whoever she is, she needs to start selling music fucking now.
Anyway, so what’s one of the comments on the site? Well, I quote:
“I have seen this before and it’s really good. One suggestion. Clothing..looks like my grandmothers. She would look as good as he sounds with something more current. No makeup needed.”
Who in the fuck are you? Unless you’re the wardrobe design director for Lady Gaga or Cher, shut your goddamn mouth you know-nothing fuckwit. You’re not an expert on music and you’re not an expert on clothing and you’re certainly not an expert on how to tie a wardrobe to a performer and how those things interrelate with a given song. You are a schmuck commenting on a video site just as I am a schmuck with a blog commenting on your bullshit.
For the record, I know of another woman who does something very similar and wears a similar style of “grandmothers” clothing. Her name is Imogen Heap, and she too is awesome. The wardrobe doesn’t matter. Both of these ladies could do their thing wearing a burlap sack and it’d be just as amazing.
