Reviews Customer Reviews for Live In Concert Natalie Merchant      Didn't think of a title      Rating:      Natalie is unique. She's wonderful, extremely feminine, utterly poised, completely natural, brilliant, with a rare and beautiful voice. Her lyrics shine as gems of insight. She's a treasure to be near. The pre-show interviews on this dvd show her to be more popular with women than she is with men. What I think is going on is that her fans adore her without aching to go to bed with her. Her appeal isn't sex appeal, as it is with almost every other lead singer or actor. She's not as cheap as that. She's not like that idiot Brittany Spears dressing like a whore. In fact, Natalie is covered up almost as much as an Arab. You can see her face, and her lower legs, but not a whole lot else. She's just fine that way. She sways and dances, she smiles and shares her wonderful personality, and you really don't need to see her cleavage. There's no way in hell you're getting a peak at that. Think about the lyrics of most popular songs. They are usually about either sex or an insincere phony version of moon-june boy-band romance for pre-teens. Natalie is one antidote to that garbage. But she is awfully sweet medicine. She's smart and completely without ego on stage. She's deep too. For those of you knowledgeable about astrology, she's a Scorpio, like Neil Young. There's another brilliant songwriter who doesn't play "star" onstage, doesn't play celebrity, doesn't show ego. Natalie's band on this dvd is very good, as she herself comments late in the show. I was happy to hear her sing Beloved Wife, one of my favorite of her songs. Who else but Natalie would write a song about an elderly couple's love for each other, the aged husband wondering if he should commit suicide to be with the beloved wife he has just lost to illness. The lyrics of this song are priceless, and always reminded me of my own parents, when my mom was suffering with illness and my father was the caregiver. Who else could have written that song? The only people I could think of are Simon and Garfunkel, for their song Old Friends. So you can see what level Natalie is on. She's writing with the intelligence and sensitivity of Simon and Garfunkel. There aren't too many on that high level. I'm glad Natalie is in our artistic world. With so much unoriginal garbage around, we're lucky to have her.     Customer Reviews for Live In Concert Natalie Merchant Cd      Natalie at her best      Rating:      This one is great!
