      @@sabrowenie when it defeats the purpose of the video to begin with and theres plenty of advertisements on other non-musical content, "paying the bills" is not a reasonably justifiable excuse to ruin the experience that an artist worked so hard to create by interrupting it with what's likely to be brain rotting propaganda for something that isn't good for anyone at the end of the day.

      @MsDiva96 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      ​@@lucascordeiro9082 You miss my point. Of course she has trained and perfected the instrument of her voice, but this is the kind of talent that you cannot buy and she has a gift that comes from more than just "training hard". Raye has something that most people could never achieve if they tried. There is an authenticity to her music and her art, something truly organic about the way that she performs, each time she sings a song live it sounds different to the last. She is always truly present. Her artistry isn't masked by frills and fancies, or the frenzy of celebrity culture, or manufactured branding - she is an organic and timeless talent. That is what I mean by raw.
