Tina Fey hosted SNL this past Saturday (yay!). It was sooo exciting, but I was sooo tired and kept falling asleep during all of the skits. But when Fey announced the guest musician "Ellie Goulding!" (an indie pop artist from England), there was something there that kept me awake. It was a strange thing; during her entire performance, I thought "do I like this? I like this! Do I like this? I love this!" Ellie G. has this incredible precision that is almost haunting as she gets higher in her vocal range. I downloaded her album, but I have to say that the differences she made in the live performance rock so much more than her studio recording... definitely more of a raw sound which I LOVE in female singers. And her vocal licks and runs sometimes sound digitally created, but they're NOT... it's just her, and it's awesome!!
This is the live performance she did on SNL Saturday....
