Amazing woman on Bass + singing

[Xiaou2]

 I ran into this vid... and I must say,  wow.   She is Funky and sweet on Bass,
has a great voice, and is pretty easy on the eyes too   

 Had to share this.

I agree!   She's got that bass down and has a very nice voice.  It's unique to see a woman playing bass like that too and singing... it doesn't happen all too often.

Indeed. A very nice player. Light on the fretboard and very tasty articulations. She sings good, too, although I prefer altos.

I know it's mincing words, but if it happens at all it's not unique.  Unique is a superlative.  One of my pet peeves.

Here's some bass + singing that is a bit out of the ordinary.  I caught this guy opening for another band a couple years ago in Paris.  He was freaking amazing.  After about 30 seconds of searching this is the only video I can come up with.  The acoustics and recording are pretty bad.  Sorry.

Uh, if it only happens once, its unique. If it doesn't happen at all, its not anything.

[shmokes]

Uh, he said it doesn't happen all too often.

 Sadly, the 1st video has disabled embedding.. and its one of her best.  I highly
recommend clicking on the video to open the link directly.

 Heres another great vid I caught.   Im not a bass expert at all.. but from what I
hear.. it just amazing stuff.

 In many songs it almost seems the bass is invisible.  Maybe its my lack of being able to
separate the sounds...  but there is a distinct difference between certain bands
bass,  such as Level 42, or  Iron Maiden...  where bass is very easy to hear, clear,
and very detailed.

Ah, ---smurfin--- righteous. I guess I shouldn't be surprised someone's finally done and posted this. By the way, this piece is a few decades old. Turn up your speakers and pay special attention to the spoken part.

[Ummon]

Oh wait, here's a better-heard one. Plus it's a chick!

Look at definition number 5 my friend... http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/unique

5.not typical; unusual: She has a very unique smile.

Some words can mean many things...

Hmm . . . it's still poor use of the word, IMO.  That it has developed a secondary meaning through rampant misuse just makes the word less effective.  Unique can now mean either unique or not unique.  Stupid.

I just jump off the wagon, so to speak, and remove the word from my functioning vocabulary. But I'm, ah, visionary, remember?  (HMHMHMMHMHMHM.)
