Matt Bianco - Half A Minute (Live)

[@jimmybronx5820]

Great vocal and pretty, guitarist very talented

[@dee1458]

This song holds an absolute very special spot in my Sambabossalicious Hall of Fame. The Cuica, Piano, Bossa Guitar and Sax's sexiest, classiest and finest collab! This song always make me feel happy, notwithstanding the not-so-happy break-up lyrics 😀

[@seltaeb3302]

As a 60s child, I discovered Level 42 last year & bought everything & now Matt Bianco, it threw me name wise! Their 1st album is a classic & led me to Basia's albums. Problem is their albums after 80s & millennium are so expensive. They also bring a lot of joy & it lifts you.

[@laurencemichel1290]

Half a minute and more, Half an hour, Half a Day, Half a Month, Half a year, Half of my Life listenning Matt Bianco, and for Ever

[@premgoyal4192]

I love this comment!

[@thumper1747]

Well, I love Basia and followed her career and remember her music fondly. But I love this performance too, nice to see a live version

[@Wardog01Actual]

I guess I'm lucky enough to have heard this song without Basia first, although I've heard her elsewhere, but why is everyone so salty towards this singer? She did a wonderful job, and the song still slaps! What is wrong with you mofos?

[@stephenriley6430]

Love this song and the singer is gorgeous

[@pierremartins5551]

The girl gave the song a touch of Rio, and it was very good because Half a Minute is 70% samba.

[@claudiooliveira2889]

Basia is amazing of course, but this girl Karina Cryer surely CAN sing! I haven't found absolutely nothing about her on the Internet... This guy playin' acoustic guitar is Mr. Ricardo Silveira, one of the most brilliantly amazing brazilian guitar players. Didn't know Ricardo have toured with Matt Bianco. Well done!

[@nickwilliams5250]

Hi Claudio. Like you, I also searched for her. LinkedIn UK and FB indicates she is living in London with her husband/partner are two sons. Seems she is a lovely lady with very kind thoughts. 😁👍

[@andreazonta2291]

Very very nice girl and good performer

[@iandemontfort4276]

I will always love Basia singing this. I enjoyed this version though

[@martyemmons8692]

I'm happy to see 9:57 video of a song that I really like to listen to.

[@SeanMJOBrien]

I first heard of Basia with Matt Bianco, so considering she wrote the vocal arrangement, she would have the best interpretation... Female lead is Karina Cryer? I think some people are spoiled by recorded music, where you get a lot of takes to get it perfect. You can't imagine what it is like trying to sing over a deafening audience. Your voice can change drastically day by day, or even hour by hour. Heck, just ask Aritha Franklin about her singing at Obama's Presidential inauguration.

[@magirusdeutzjupiter2234]

Stunning music, beautiful all round, smiles, and more smiles.

Thanks for posting this! What a fun performance.

[@stephenfitzsimons]

I think I'm in love. This girl is gorgeous.

[@garry3671]

Ms. Cryer: I really enjoy the way you do this song! I think you do it better than anyone. So sensuous. Thanks!

[@lokiop345]

Robin Jones must have been in Brasil a long time to learn the pandeiro acrobatics style from the carnaval. Respect maestro. Descansa em paz

[@SpanyxGamesBR]

O mais incrível é que Matt Bianco nunca veio ao Brasil fazer show...Entrei em contato com eles , disseram que em breve poderão vir...

[@luisbaguny]

@@SpanyxGamesBR Difícil, Mark Reilly está em projetos com outro grupo, não é o mesmo de quando Mark Fisher (RIP) estava lá, no último álbum do Basia, Reilly ele cantou algumas músicas com ela. Tampouco vieram à Argentina e anunciaram em 1999. Se Matt Bianco não tocava no Brasil quando faziam Samba In Your Casa, nunca mais voltarão para a América Do Sul, saudações

[@SpanyxGamesBR]

@@luisbaguny Comentário totalmente equivocado... Pois entrei em contato com o grupo e me responderam que SIM , tem pretenção de fazer shows pela américa latina breve... E conheco todos os caminhos do grupo desde a sua criação. Saudações

[@gmichele1963]

Basia is Basia....!

[@Virgolino57]

Why are the musicians names not mentioned? I could swear that this acoustic guitar player (solo at the beginning) is Ricardo Silveira many years ago. And the piano/keyboad player resembles Ricky Peterson... Greetings from Portugal.

[@STONEWALL148]

The pianist is Mark Fisher he died in 2016 I believe he committed suicide at the age of 57. His father is Tony Fisher a veteran trumpet player who has played with many big names in the past including Frank Sinatra. Mark was a stellar session musician before he became one-half of Matt Bianco I think he was Wham's first pianist. The sax player is Dave O'Higgins well known on the UK Jazz circuit and the percussionist is Robin Jones of King Salsa fame. You are right about the guitarist.

[@Virgolino57]

@@STONEWALL148 Thank you for your explanations. I love to know the names of all the musicians/players. Yes, I knew that Mark Fisher was at some point a member of Matt Bianco but I had never seen his face. And Dave O'Higgins is a very well known sax player, I've got him playing on many records but I didn't know it was him playing here. He's fabulous too. Thank you again.

[@STONEWALL148]

@@Virgolino57 The only other musician I recognised was Joe DeJesus - Trumpet & Trombone. He's played with all the great Latin players like Mongo Santamaria & Tito Puente. However, if you go to the rrn3000 post for the same concert for the ending track Don't Blame it on That Girl, all the musicians are listed at the end.

HALF A MINUTE pieseň skupiny MATT BIANCO, ktorá ako tretí hit bola v rebríčku v UK desať týždňov od 10. novembra 1984 a skončila na 23.m. Pochádzala z albumu WHO SIDE ARE YOU ON, ktorý bol v UK rebríčku 39 týždňov od 8. septembra 1984 a skončil na 35.m. a od BPI dostal zlatú platňu.V tejto koncertnej verzii spievala speváčka Karina Cryer.

Táto speváčka bola tak isto VYNIKAJÚCA ;-)

Basia in my mind

[@catalinajosefinaraineri1147]

Que música más suave y sofisticada Muy buena la cantante

[@luisbaguny]

Karina Cryer es la cantante. Ricardo Silveira de Brasil la guitarra.

[@theestudiounion6273]

fantastic version

[@buickmclean8163]

She is performing live in front of an audience , not in a studio so she will not sound like Basia . Good looking woman in her day.

[@waldemarusmc3191]

Basia sounded great live and in studio. Still not bad, this skinny girl replacement, I believe she is much better than the new Matt Bianco's jazzy and cute short hair girl who voice so weak.

[@ixy5]

@JoaoBernardoSousa1 Karina Cryer is her name,she is beautiful,and she's got exelent tenor ;)

yes!!,this girl is not Basia,but she got more jazz in his voice that Basia,more"sabor",she give to the Matt Bianco famous hit a marvelous modern latín jazz touch

[@adriank9]

@@MiguelFlores-sz5pt Technically she is miles behind Basia or maybe she was so stressed here. Besides here voice is not refined as Basia.

INTERESTING version and I'm really loving the instrumental part, but this girl I feel is kinda OVERsinging it. Hearing Basia with these same exact instrumentals would be the most PERFECT thing in the world. My gosh I can only imagine!!!!!
