..... But ,that chick can't sing for poop.

Oh man. No no no noooo.

Kerry is awesome. As Jamie has said, the quality on the YouTube vids ain't the best.

Sorry for the hijack Jamie, but Kerry is just great.

Yea Sticky you're right, she sounds great in studio conditions. That live performance sounded flat as hell.

 

[fatkatz77]

That is awesome. I love Brian May's playing. I am green with envy. Have fun.

Very nice Jamie, glad it's all happening for ya. But ,that chick can't sing for poop.

Sorry I had to jump in here..have you ever done a gig to a crowd this size, live on radio and tv, with a 3 min change over between acts?...I am just curious..I dont normally get defensive..Kerry is one of the best singers I have toured with...The monitors where not good..put it this way Hyde Park is huge, and I didnt even have Brian in my Monitors and he was the louder than my monitor...Kerry struggles pitching a little bit becaue she simply couldnt hear..you may notice that the last 2 numbers she pulled out her in ears and was perfect...people are often a little too hasty to jump in with critical comments, when they have never done anything like this...she has stared in We Will Rock You, the queen musical, les Mis, Oliver, Wicked, on both the west end and broadway..all of her parts have been leading roles..she has sung for the Queen..appeard at her Golden Jubilee performing to millions..its funny how people are quick to judge a performance without acctually fully understanding the situation of the gig..have you ever had a bad gig, and not playef to your potential because the enviroment, or sound wasnt right?...the difference being that yours proberbly were not aired by the BBC...sorry if I come off a little bit full on here, but i get prety angry at youtube and other internet pages where people are free to citisies, and be rude...saying someone cant sing for "poop" isnt constructive..lets look at Brian's other singers...Freddie?...Paul Rogers?...dont you think the man has a bit of an idea on a vocalist?...plus she is the one here signed to Universal...I'll say no more..

awesome Jamie, great solo. and she is a great singer

 

[peterd79]

if Randy Jackson were to chime in he'd say... "she's got Pipes"
when i saw the original post i had an idea of the conditions and figured where it was and how loud it probably was on stage... but she can not only sing... but she can SANG!!!!

 

[Jimmyb]

Well said Jamie.

 

[Sticky1973]

Great clip, that.

She has such power in her delivery, yet a subtlety and tone that is beautiful.

Kerry is just awesome.

 

[threeminutesboy]

Fantastic ! Glas you shared those

 

[DrGonzo5150]

Stoked for you Jamie! Awesome Gig... You got to play the red special too!! F***! Living the dream
I can't imagine how loud that gig must have been. A few cranked AC30s I imagine

Kerry has monster chops, she absolutely destroyed it on Wicked in Rock... Love it.
