Amethyste Fisher - Barbie Girl, with Mike Fisher
LOL!!!

Rich talked to me last night at the Meet and Greet at the Keyes' house.

He said:

"Do you remember that Barbie Girl song you and your wife recorded together?? You know how almost nobody commented on it?? Well, I listened to it and I still have some respect for you."? Then we laughed.

LOL

For those new to the song, it's a parody of the typical American culture of rampant plastic surgery, consumption, and, our "number one priority", sex.

Pa-ro-dy:? Something so bad as to be equivalent to intentional mockery.? ?;)

Barbie Girl is a cool song that says a lot about our society.? 8)

When we get the Arts Festival up and running, perhaps we can have "An Evening with Amethyste"? 8)

I have been listening to "Annie's Song". Her voice is especially suited to the song. Excellent! Bravo!

Anyone who has not taken the time to listen to her MP3s is missing some very nice singing.  8)

I just downloaded "All By Myself". It gave me chills. Absolutely terrific.

Mike,
I'm thinking we have to have her give a concert. Does she want to? Perhaps with the new Arts Festival. Maybe in conjunction with the New England Shakespeare Festival. I'll talk to the Artistic director. What do you know about Ian? Where does he live? Can you get in touch with him? Maybe the two of them. Let's talk.

A survey: How many would buy a ticket (or more than one) to a concert by Amethyste. Let's assume ticket price of $20.

She doesn't like singing in front of people.   :-[

Bummer.  :(
Would she consider promoting a CD of her work?

Most of the musical backings are used without permission.   ;D  Some were custom made for her, but most of them were... "borrowed" for personal use.

If she were going to make money, she'd have to find out who made them and pay royalties.

Mike, there's a possibility that we, down the road, could arrange for musical back-up. Guess it will have to wait. But thank Amethyste for the pleasure I have received from her singing, and hope she keeps it up.

Amethyste is upset at judges in the various online vocal competitions she's in.  They don't like anything but the attention-deficient teeny-bopper garbage they hear on the radio.  I try to tell her that her style fills a sizeable niche market, but she keeps entering these online popularity competitions for some reason.

As far as I know, most singers don't try to please everyone, so why should she?

Popularity has never been a good indicator of quality.
