Just saw her in San Francisco in November. Still a Master at vocals. I have been following her since the beginning of the 90's and one thing is very clear to me, "she is a master vocalist".
She didn't want to be a solo artist, she wanted to be a background singer per her words. She said she wasn't looking for the lime light, she just wanted to sing (paraphrasing).
She didn't like what the music industry wanted to turn her into and decided to stay in the background for artists like Luther Vandross, The Rolling Stones and others.
Thanks for your reaction. Lisa didn't want the fame that comes with a superstar career. She made that clear in the biography "Twenty Feet from Stardom". She turned down the opportunities by choice.
She's my favorite female vocalist of all time. And no disrespect to other great female singers. But she's my favorite. Because she makes you feel something on the inside.
You had to be there at the time when Ms. Lisa Fisher, Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, and of course Ms. Patti LaBelle were all releasing albums and CDs around the same time...it was phenomenal!!! At the time of the release of 'So Intense', Ms. Lisa Fisher was at the top of my list...I could not stop listening to the music and that one-in-a-million kind of voice that could never be duplicated. Ms. Lisa's vocal ability and range are unlike no other. She is truly a blessing.
Lisa Fischer was a long time backup singer for Luther Van Dross. Luther knew she was a gifted singer and pushed her to do a solo project. Lisa won a Grammy for this song, shared the award with Patti La Belle. Lisa was never comfortable being a solo act. She gave a interview and said she felt a lone on stage and being a solo act was terrifying for her.
Thank you for reacting to the great Lisa Fischer. I think this live version easily tops her album version. In truth, Lisa didn't want that superstar career and chose the path of being one of the greatest backup singers of all time. She sang backup for bands as diverse as the Rolling Stones, Sting, Tina Turner, Chaka Khan, Teddy Pendergrass and Roberta Flack. She sang backup for Luther Vandross for 22 years. I try as hard as I can to get her name out there by requesting other reactors to react to her but most prefer to react to singers half as talented and 10 times more popular. Lisa is still beautiful, alive and performing in and around my native Brooklyn, and she can still hit that F6. IMO Lisa is as great a singer as Whitney or Mariah in their primes and is the most underrated singer and performer of her time.
I wanted to comment but yours is absolutely perfect! I agree that this performance is way better than the album version. I've watched this video God knows how many times and I'll be watching it until the day my sunset arrives. Her voice is simply perfect.
Thanks so much, Hel Gar. Yes!! I completely agree with you. Anybody that knows me or has subscribed to my channel. I already know how much I love Whitney and Mariah. If I think anybody is as good as them it’s Lisa Fischer! Honestly, her range is UNBELIEVABLE. I can see why so many legendary artist had her as a backup singers. That’s probably where she got her wide range of different textures in her voice. But, this is one of the most iconic vocal performances. 🙏🏾💯 I’m so glad she’s doing well still. We all still love and support her. She definitely made her mark in our childhood and 90’s R&B music.
I was going to say what Hel Gar said, except that I would add that Lisa toured with the Rolling Stones for 26 years, and was a fan favorite, especially with her performances of Gimme Shelter, and her on-stage rapport with Mick. I, too, keep requesting this performance among the reactors I follow, but so far only one has done so. :-( So frustrating! I know she is constantly compared to Mariah and Whitney, but for my money Lisa is my favorite by far: maybe because she doesn't go crazy with the runs and fills and trills to the point where it feels like she's just showing off, but instead does what's best for the song and the message she's communicating; maybe because Lisa is such a kind, gentle and humble soul who exudes warmth and love, and would rather collaborate than go solo; maybe it's just the tone and texture of her voice that I personally prefer. I wish she were more well-known, but honestly, I'm not sure Lisa wishes that. From what I've learned from her interviews and performances, she is happy as long as she can perform in a collaborative way, performing in small intimate venues with her band, Grand Baton, and partnering with other artists. But I can't help wanting the rest of the world to acknowledge her incredible gifts.
@@talltulip I feel the exact same way. Especially the part about wanting the world to experience/acknowledge her gift. She is my favorite vocalist EVER! A true vocal masterclass all on her own. And she can STILL sing her face off. I wish I could meet her. Had she stayed in the spotlight, some of these artists would be in TROUBLE!
This live performance is EVERYTHING!!! My favorite song by her is So Intense. Lisa is a goddess. She is a wonderful person and one of the best singers of all time!!
Omggg you have to react to another live version of hers. She has an olive green scarf on her head with a black dress. It was so beautiful like poetry. It’s a totally different version. She is older but she still has the amazing vocals and talent. You thought you were shocked then but you haven’t seen nothing yet! ❤
I’d just like to say what set Lisa apart was that she didn’t NEED stardom! While not common knowledge is that EVERY top rock and roll producer was trying to get her to do background parts! The fact that she was a woman who knows her worth! She seemed to love the freedom of performance more than be coddled over and the pressure to support her band. She made the decision to join THE ROLLING STONES!!!! Touring with them for the last 35 years!!!( I actually just saw this year at Sofi stadium) And everyone knows that a songbird sings best when set free!!!!
There were lots of phenomenal female vocalists in the 90s. And they are still irreplaceable till these days. Lisa Fischer, Shanice and also the late Lavine Hudson.. my absolute favourites other than Mariah and Whitney 💥💥
@@leolion2944 it's not just the range, there are plenty technical singers, they just won't be able to be technical and deliver.....a lot of popular artists have this issue. Lisa however makes you feel her song. She's awesome.
Lisa is a beast!!!! Just because you're in front doesn't necessarily make you better.Lis proves time and again front, back it doesn't matter. She is a Master Class. Even when you she her currently the way she has honed her craft is awe inspiring. 🔥🔥❤❤🔥🔥
Omg 😱 I love LF she’s amazing singer this album received a Grammy then she disappeared and I saw her as back up singer for Tina Turner wowwwww amazing album
Another amazing live performance that you should get into is..... Stephine Mills singing ' HOME from the WIZ live at The Apollo. Most people only remember Dianna Ross from the movie but Stephine is the original from the stage play before the movie. She remade the song as a dedication to all her friends that did the show with her in the late 70"s and early 80"s that died from AIDS. She sang from the bottom of her SOUL!!!
Lisa had a pretty good backup band for awhile: The Rolling Stones, for 20 some years. Listen to Gimmie Shelter live, when she sings it. She followed Mary Clayton, who you should listen too as well. Lisa is a Goddess: Beauty, humility, and God gave her that incredible voice...
More songs from Lisa: -Last Goodbye -So Intense -Save Me -Get Back to Love -Gimme Shelter (Rolling Stones) -Some Girls -Wild Horses -Send the Message of Love -So Tender -Chain of Broken Hearts

She was backing vocalist for soul legend LUTHER VANDROSS god rest is soul ❤🌹 Am glad you love this song as much as I do. I fell in love with her and this record in the start of the pandemic. Can someone do the video in hd ANYONE THIS SONG IS BEAUTUFUL AND MEMORABLE we dont get quality artists like this no more ❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹❤🌹
Lisa’s voice is one of a kind,, I love this song so much that I still listen to it up to this day,, but what about the back up singers,, them boys are so good too, I give em lots of credit too.. bravo 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you Thank you. You have name three other impressive vocalist that can sing circles around most vocalist today Shanice Lisa And Chante Moore are the masters of the whistle. And quite honestly does a better job at than Mariah She was the one who made it popular. All the singers you mentioned are very versatile vocalist and just sang anything. I might add to your list. Angela Winbrush and Melisa Morgan.
Two more suggestions for you, if I may: Eva Cassidy and kd lang. Eva is a much different type of singer from Lisa, Mariah, Whitney etc. I wouldn't classify her as a "powerhouse" and she doesn't have the crazy vocal range that these other singers have. But her voice is just too beautiful to be dismissed. She passes away (from cancer) before her career had a chance to really take off, so most of her filmed/recorded live performances were in small venues and are of a much more simple, intimate nature. It's hard to pick a favorite, but here are 2 of mine: Autumn Leaves th-cam.com/video/xXBNlApwh0c/w-d-xo.html; and Somewhere Over The Rainbow th-cam.com/video/2rd8VktT8xY/w-d-xo.html. She does have more upbeat, bluesy and jazzy numbers too. kd lang can be a powerhouse singer when she needs to be. But she also have the capacity for tender poignant renditions as well. Here are 3 of my favorite performances: Crying th-cam.com/video/tv7S8v3rM-U/w-d-xo.html; Barefoot th-cam.com/video/I4FkncWeIRs/w-d-xo.html; and Hallelujah th-cam.com/video/P_NpxTWbovE/w-d-xo.html (and I don't even really like this song, but this performance is surpassing).
I just love that back in her day she was able to put out some Whitney Houston in her broken as well as the Mariah Carey up today I mean that's what I heard as a new commenter on different pages that's what I heard a lot of Whitney Houston and then she threw in that Mariah Carey back and that was back in the days
Be an occasion film , whatever for her to sing Mariah or Whitney's songs the same way they sing them and you will be freaking blown away! Doing their songs the way they did theirs would be like boring to her! Believe that! ....
I mean she just towed and played in just laughed in our faces with that Mariah Carey I'm not kidding but I also heard quite a bit of Whitney Houston along with her on style of singing beautiful beautiful like a artist painting a picture
Many people won't understand why she most likely neve went for the heights of the fame game! When you work with as many top stars as her then she obviously has more insight than all of us! How about not being worn out! Etc etc etc. ....
Lisa is a MUCH better singer than Mariah. Her voice is effortless , Without all the dramatization that Mariah does. Lisa is more like Whitney but her high notes are different.
Imagine the experiment situation if writers writing so gs for a woman that can sing about 7 . Seven octaves? Why would she want anyone playing with her gift! ....
She was a background singer for Luther Vandross and we know he only had the best!!!! To answer your question? She won a Grammy for this song but then rap took over and R&B was pushed to the side along with real Sanger’s. Sad but true🤦🏽♀️
The reason for her not reaching her height of success, is because she was being produced by Luther Vandross and he got sick! So her career path went back to background singing for Rolling Stones and others! At least that's what I heard!🤔🧐😉😊
She actually chose to stay a background singer. She wasn't interested in the fame. She just wanted to sing. And boy did she. There are quite a few people who might not have reached the heights they did if they'd had to compete with her. And she won a grammy for this song too. She is still amazing. Her range, the control, her tone. Some of these artists today could learn something from this amazing woman.
@@BklynGrl72 If memory serves, she actually won two Grammys for this song: one as the performer, and one as the writer. (Don't quote me on that, though, as I didn't fact-check myself.)
Mariah is great. Everyone loves her. But Lisa Fisher is a vocal technician! She is in a different category from Mariah and Whitney! She is beyond singing any one song! ....
The girls today WISH they could sing like this! That high note is legendary.
Lisa was known for using two microphones. So talented.
Just saw her in San Francisco in November. Still a Master at vocals. I have been following her since the beginning of the 90's and one thing is very clear to me, "she is a master vocalist".
Absolutely! She is a master vocalist - best description I've heard
She didn't want to be a solo artist, she wanted to be a background singer per her words. She said she wasn't looking for the lime light, she just wanted to sing (paraphrasing).
Yup.
she could have had many hits if she had become a solo artists
A beautiful lady with a beautiful voice. We need this music today.love it.
Lisa preferred background singing versus being out front. She came, slayed, won a Grammy and went back to what she loved best.
I'm sure it paid more too (bgv)
She didn't like what the music industry wanted to turn her into and decided to stay in the background for artists like Luther Vandross, The Rolling Stones and others.
I believe this was her live performance in Japan. She is immeasurably talented. Her whisper register is insane! She is still singing. Amazing singer!
..."to the day! To the day!" I still get chills with every high note she hits!💯
Thanks for your reaction. Lisa didn't want the fame that comes with a superstar career. She made that clear in the biography "Twenty Feet from Stardom". She turned down the opportunities by choice.
