What comprises good performance? The ability through singing or playing to make the ear conscious of the true content and affect of a composition.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Music is about the performance.
Feeling emotionally connected to a song, and accumulating every bit of the moment's energy to sing out to the audience is what I believe makes a great performer.
Music, in performance, is a type of sculpture. The air in the performance is sculpted into something.
Music is a performance and needs the audience.
If any performer has quality in his voice he can almost always be helped to develop all the other necessary attributes.
I think performance art comes from a simple place of wanting to express things beyond just sound.
Nobody can give a good performance unless the authors and composers have written a good part, a fact which is often overlooked.
To sing a song is like whispering to a child's ear. It is an art heavily relying on improvisation.
Singing well has always been important to me, but the most important factor is the connection to the audience.
If you do performance and music, it's not performance as music.
