On Robyn....




Robyn- to me- is one of the best performers out there. She is (to me)- what it means to be a 'stage performer'/ 'singer'. i do not like 'robyn', per se--- in other words- i do not consider myself 'a robyn fan'...... however. I think she is an exCellent- amAZing stage performer. -She knows what it is to capture movement. She knows what it is to capture (best)- movement of a sound/sounds. -And to me -that is 'ultimate dance'-- that is (ultimately)- what dance is about. To 'accurately' capture sound. Be it, silly or whacky or... just completely 'off the cuff'--- spontaneous movement! That is the key. From the gut- 'dance/movement' from the heart. It's visceral/ it's a visceral thing. (And needs to be). That is dance to me. And Robyn- captures it best- on stage. She is an amazing performer- and if I were a performer/singer- I'd perform/sing -(just like her). I'd definitely go see her one day. The one song of her's i do like is 'dancing on my own' ...ha! It just happens, it's thAt title............ ;) ;)))







sidenotes::: I think ppl are 'too afraid'- to move/ to move like her. I think it's in them though. I think it's in (all of us). Robyn, the thing about Robyn-- she really puts her self 'out there'. She really wears her 'heart on her sleeve'- when it comes to her dance/stage performance of a song. She makes herself vulnerable (through this movement)- and the movement I think- is as tantamount to the song. In other words- WATCHing her perform it- is (as important)- as hearing that song. And that can't be said for most songs/performers. I think watching her- puts a new/different spin on it. In other words, I enjoy this song- lIVE- i enjoy SEEing her perform it- but the song itself (on its own)- i dont really enjoy that much. She 'defines' 'redefines' the song (so to speak)- through the performance of it, which she does so well. I think she is a 'brave' performer- and too many ppl are afraid to 'move'/perform- like her. tHAT is a performance. And I can't speak highly of it (enough).




gO rOBYN!


I think dance songs, when it comes to dance/music--- if you're going to perform it (live)--- you gotta 'dance' it! That's taking the song(s)- to the next level.......................... #jazzhands
