Fearless Music

Apparently it's an East Coast version of Fox Rox based in New York City with a much creepier host. It's a recent discovery, and I'm pretty happy about it. It features bands from Streetlight Manifesto to the Jonas Brothers to Midtown (before Gabe Saporta got all trashy) and to Imogen Heap.

I've always wondered how she performed that song live. It seems like auto-tune of a really advanced version of a talkbox.

By the way, I really, really want a talk box.

edit: While I'm here, some basic rules of live music I go by

1. Go crazy
2. Expect vocal screw-ups (forgetting lyrics, voices cracking) but do not excuse continuous out-of-tune singing
3. Solos must be crazier than recorded
4. Real performers will sound better live than on the album

My favorite song from Imogen Heap.

It's a vocoder she's using.

What genre of music would you consider Imogen Heap songs? (Please label it! Thanks!)

That's a crazy live performance, btw.
