Dee Dee Bridgewater! What else can I say. How fabulous to get pointers from a Master Jazz Vocalist like her! Is it possible for these very young singers to appreciate this moment? Wow! What an opportunity!

[@sheireland3737]

Funnily enough when u watch Dee Dee B perform she holds the mic high!! The singers were all fabulous. I’d pay to go hear any of them. And Dee Dee B is marvellous.

Great advice for musicians and singers....

This is a great learning experience with great coaching advice and pointers. I see bright futures for these participants.

I wish the first singer had a better accompanist, was not a good match

[@Acorparation]

yea she's obviously going for a less busy ballad vibe and the comping is just hammering away lol

[@sheireland3737]

Sorry Dee Dee but the rules you cite about the mic and about not changing the song on first go round aren’t rules. They are just your rules.

[@caninbar]

The umpteenth singer who says the diaphragm is in the stomach/belly area. ARGH!
