I just discovered Alice Fredenham a couple hours ago and I'm hooked. Funny Valentine i cant stop listening to. absolutely jaw dropping. this is only like the 4th or 5th song i've heard her sing and, I'm blown away. Thank you for sharing this.
i cried when i heard her sing funny Valentine goose bumps - i listen to it over & over- i go to a lot of jazz clubs never ever see talent like this- Come back Alicia Jazz needs you, you penetrate my soul & heart❤
It's 1945 and the war is over ! We are at a night club and a female singer named Alice Fredenham is stepping up to the Mic ! Wow ! How did she get on here ? 😮
Check out her video I only have eyes for you video, that will send you straight to 1937 in a music bar with her on the stage behind a big round Mike in a dark blue and sliver dress with men sitting at tables smoking cigars and the bar tender serving scotch and brandy and a pianist in the corner playing. I guarantee you.
Absolutely LOVE Alice's voice - I could literally listen to her all day! She was created to sing this type of 30's, 40's bar music seen on black and white TV screens during the Humphrey Bogart era. We rarely hear this kind of music anymore, if ever. Although her talent wasn't readily recognized and was rejected on multiple occasions, it took just ONE YES to change Alice's life! Wherever she is today, I sincerely hope that confidence exudes as she rebuffs the nay-sayers realizing that her unique voice cannot be replicated. The world needs to hear you, Alice - you were made for this - you and you alone. Just IN-CRE-DI-BLE!
Thank you for this retrospective of Alice Fredenham. I'm 90 years old, and I've played her audition video at least a hundred times. It reminds of slow dancing in 1950 to all the tunes she sings. And her voice can bring me to tears. Amanda's comment at Alice's BGT audition said it all, "...mesmerizing, sensual, I fell in love with you" Didn't we all?
The passion Alice exudes is highly evident and a key to the pleasure I'm sure she gives to many I could listen to her voice forever and I wish her all the best in her singing career and her life
Alice stole my heart it’s the most beautiful audition I had ever heard I still listen and cry every time I wish Alice everything wonderful and happy comes her beautiful way 👍
I watched her performance on BGT and I was in awe, just like the judges and the audience; she is the embodiment of old soul and artistry of yesteryears. She tried her talent on another show before but no judges turned; that was a devastating blow to her confidence. I am glad that she found the courage to go on doing what she loves and finally finds success. Thank you Debra; I hope you find out what Alice is doing nowadays and share more of her wonderful singing...
Please follow up with finding her... 🙏 please. We need to know and especially hope she's singing still. Oh what an amazingly beautiful voice that the world needs to hear and enjoy too. What a treasure she is.
I love her voice, her modesty, her looks...There is something in her voice that reminds me of Billy Holiday. As if she has known pain. And she moves to the music when she sings as if she is not even aware of it. Mysterious lady. I hope she is well. I'd buy every album if I knew where from.
I still watch, look and listen for Alice. Her voice, demeanor, looks...are excellence. Alice give of yourself so we can enjoy your singing. You are loved. Please come back.
I've seen a lot of acts on those talent shows & I will always believe that her audition was far & away the best. This girl has an amazing voice & is superbly talented. I have no doubt that she will become a major success one day.
@@TheBebelehaut I wish I could entirely agree with you. But Alice stopped singing by the time her debut album was released in late 2016. If you're interested in more detail, you can read a lengthy comment I posted here back in February.
@@gregparrott No doubt there is a lot of talent out there but I still believe she is very talented. You say she stopped singing in 2016 but right now I see a link of her singing from 3 yrs ago."Alice Fredenham "Someone to watch over me."
I fell for Alice the first time I saw her sing. I watch and rewatch her TH-cam videos as often as possible. Her voice is so calming and original. Just wish she was singing full time. She is awesome!
This remains one of my favorite performances on ANY of the Got Talent stages. The entire audience (and the judges) were completely mesmerized and transfixed. Absolutely stunning. I was happy to hear a few of her subsequent performances. Nice reaction!! Thank you!!
I think Alice is one of the most mesmerizing singers I've ever heard. It is sad to me that she has disappeared from the music scene. Wherever she is and whatever she is doing, I hope she is living her best life. But I also wish she would come back and record another album. It would be such a gift to the world. Just a note - you say here that she went on to win the competition - but that is inaccurate. She did make it to the semi finals, but another act won the competition.
I still cant watch her sing this song with out bringing tears to my eyes, its so emotional. clearly the best sdong up to now that she has sung, simply beautiful.
Because they're just looking to make money with trash like Bad Bunny and the likes, all commercial items and NO TALENT AT ALL. But thanks for these gems, we can still enjoy life and all of its treasures .Love her 🥰
I have often wondered what happened to her. Thank you for this, Deborah. Makes my heart so happy to know she has flowered. It hurts when we humans struggle with our value and verve. 💜
Still the best I've ever heard. Angelina is close but Alice's version reduces me to tears with in the first few notes. Just as it did the first time I heard her sing it. It was so painful to watch her not be able to put that stage fright somewhere so she could continue her career. Her missing a verse in the next round broke my heart. She looked spectacular in that next round with that beautiful red dress. I know Simon worked with her after the show was done. But that's all I know. Alice is the voice that I loved to listen to alone in the dark with a superior audio system that could give you all the clearest replays. But in the dark with the volume up to the level that you might hear at a club which would be her ideal venue. Listening in the dark is always my favorite way to listen to music. Thanks for your reaction.
It's funny the reactions we have to great music. First the hair on your arms tingles=great performance; then when the hair on the back of your neck and head stands up=really great performance; finally when tears come to your eyes you know you're hearing something really special...:)
@@whatsupwithsteve I have a quirk in my brain, I only get chills when I am cold. My default reaction to special performances has been to cry. As far back as I can remember, around 4-5 yrs.old that has been the norm. Many times in junior high and high school I wished I could have gotten chills instead of tears. So now you know more about me than you ever cared to know.
She’s also drop dead gorgeous and her sultry curvy figure suits her seductive singing style. She reminds me of Jessica Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
My first impression was not unlike hearing Judy Garland singing Somewhere over the rainbow for the first time. You knew something very special was unfolding before you. I hope Alice is well and knows what a blessing she is!
That might have been the problem. So many demands and expectations is extremely hard for a meek and shy person to handle. It is concerning that she completely dropped out of sight. Some people resort to drugs and alcohol to stay in the business. I guess all we can do is speculate about what's happened. She was a flash of light that burned out way too quickly.😢
This is the first time I’ve encountered your channel. Your treatment of this artist is really sweet and touching. Thank you! Hugs! Happy holidays to you.
What a wonderful sharing and reaction. Thank you. I saw Alice on BGT and was mesmerized like so many. But I actually think she has blossomed as a singer. This was angelic. She has a bit of Amy Whnehouse, with more jazz than blues. Just beautiful!
I'm saddened to say, i just discovered her, but i'm happy to say, retired i can listen to her now every day, i swore Humphrey Borgard & Louren Bacall where in the audience front row watching her cheering her on, what a voice, and i lovvvve Heavy Metal, but hey a lot of them listen to old style blues for inspiration, miss this king of singing & movies.
Shes singing old yesteryear songs that come from the heart, sarah Vaughn, but seems shes also singing from a hurting heart too, thats why she sounds so great
First time I’ve seen your channel. I really appreciate how you don’t talk over the performance, instead waiting to offer thoughtful commentary afterwards. 👍🏼
I've watched her 2013 performance a couple dozen times and it brings tears to my eyes every time! Such a raw, from deep within her soul performance that cannot be faked. I'm happy to see she is continuing to sing. She needs a new engineer for "Someone to Watch Over You" to bring her voice up and back off the nice, but overpowering piano. Just sayin'....she still sounds beautiful.
@@TomTaylor-rl9pf Sadly for all of us it appears she has retired from the music business but if one is really lucky you might get to hear her at a local venue. Funny how some of us dream about success in entertainment only to discover it is a fickle business that will take what you have to offer then dump you in the street.
Alice got to the semifinal on BGT in 2013 singing Cry Me A River but forgot a few words in the song and did not win the season. Sony records dropped her and she released an album Under The Covers on her own which was never promoted. This was my favorite cover of MFV until Angelins did another this year. Both versions are very sultry and I still watch both
Fabulous show. I'm a subscriber even after only hearing your voice once. I was moved this afternoon as I discovered Alice Fredenham for the first time. I surfed the internet to find more places to hear about her and found your channel. So, it was a great show, but I'm also looking forward to hearing more of what you have to say.
I loved her audition also. Thank you for bringing her back.. I'm 77 and I remember loving the smooth jazz and balads, but I had to keep in to myself. In the 60s it was Rock and Roll and I would have been banished by my friends if they knew what I listened to when alone
She's marvelous. Most music still sounds best on vinyl, and reggae still features it. Thank you for sharing. Please find her and bring us up to date? Thanks and blessings Queen!
It's not just her voice it's the whole heart and soul that makes a performance magical so you can feel it in your own heart and soul it's the difference between this and rock and roll which is you feel it in your head and your heart when you hear a former like this it affects your whole entire being and I like how you felt it as well especially coming from a darker pigmented feminine entity I could actually feel your feelings about what you were hearing
I discovered Alice Fredenham a few days ago whilst perusing TH-cam, and found her voice incredible. I live in Germany and had never heard of her, but after listening to her audition on "Britain's Got Talent", which brought me to tears! I then tried to find her without success, but was able to order her CV "Under the Covers" (which I think it's the only one???) from Amazon, and now eagerly awaiting its arrival! Thank you for your retrospective on her - absolutely lovely - I loved it!
Thank you for this wonderful upload. I’m old enough to remember LPs and placing the needle on the vinyl. I also loved those sultry female vocalists, and Alice provides an awesome addition to the genre. Hoping for similar content soon!
Thank you for doing this. She is so deserving. Maybe someone could tempt her into the jazz festival circuit at least. I don't know if she likes live performances since she's so shy but she was amazing.
Just looked for her and heard a few of her professional recordings, including "My funny Valentine". I love her original version on AGT, and just realized why, the key it was recorded in, it's for my taste, a bit low in comparison and her voice drags a bit and does not shine like on her debut with Simon. She's still precious and has a great jazzy voice 🤗💞
Over the years i have watched agt, bgt, cgt and i believe she is still one of my favorites. I was so excited she won. I hope it changed her life in wonderful ways. She is amazing, yet humble.
I loved her over of this song but to be honestly I think her official album release was disappointing as it needed more songs like this one that showcased her unique beautiful voice. I have a feeling marketing men got in the way because her talents are undeniable. Of course it is her right to sing what she wants but I hope future releases including more jazz standards where her Billie Holiday like skills can really be prominent. It is a waste to have such a talented singer deliver material that does not promote her strengths. This song though like her covers on the Talent shows is gorgeous.
This was one of Alice Fredenham's best performances it is evenident in how involved she was in what she was doing a natural true performance coming right from her sole I think a ton of inputs from every corner confused her output when she gets back her true confidence and it becomes part of her we all will benefit from her greatness.
Here I go again -- I also found a recording she did for her Kickstarter supporters in 2015, on TH-cam, of, "I Only Have Eyes for You." Beautiful! Spine tingling! Once again, I hope she can (if necessary) tell the music industry to go jump, and find some way to make her singing available.
Alice's 'I only have eyes for you' was done at Esoteric recordings. While Esoteric helped with that release, they totally botched the rest of Alice's Kickstarter campaign. I know, as I was one of 600 who participated. Alice stopped singing by the release of her album, late 2016. There are a total of 26 songs, including the auditions and ten from her album, with all but three on TH-cam. There are also three interviews. I hope she's doing well, but sadly, we've long lost hearing her sing.
@@gregparrott I was a kick starter, too. She disappeared. I think she was likely abused by the industry. Clearly, the folks who picked her up and produced her album sucked... and took her off her career trajectory as a classic, vintage singer. So sad, really. `So sad.
Thank you for show casing Alice. You also recognize the greatness in her delivery, ability to enthrall her listeners, a uniqueness and yet subtle familiarity of great vocal predecessors in her voice. She should start in her own musical biography about her journey to being discovered or portraying another famous cinematic siren great.
I'm really glad to have found you I think her Funny valentine is one of the best songs I've ever seen and I've searched for this follow up on what she is doing and had done since the competition thanks for the effort great job. I still go back and rewatch her do the Funny Valentine on BGT 2013 quite often :)
I listened to after buying her album… I listened to her album while painting. At least 50 times in the first week. Voices have the ability to change lives. All my love to you Alice and YOU HAVE TO DO ANOTHER ALBUM PLEASE. I WILL LSO BUY IT.
@@jannrhoads5836 She wasn't dressed for the part, but had she been fitted with the red dress I saw her in, and fully made up 'facially, like she was in a later performance, she would have come forth as gorgeous goddess like lounge singer. She should have taken a cue from 'old time' singer Julie London, for sure.
@@ridgemanron Coudnt disagree with you more. I'd have her a thousand times over than wearing that red dress and red lipstick.... A stunningly beautyful woman with an equally stunning and pure voice, and voi-la, David (BGT) said it best: a godess... A bundle of nerves wearing jeans and a sweater smashing three thousand hearts (and some) within minutes!!!! Pure magic.... And by the way.. It does not need to be a red dress, she makes any black dress look like a million dollar one!
Excellent video review to highlight the "Cinderella story" of Alice Fredenham. Such a wonderful timeless moment of Ms. Fredenham's vocal performance on BGT -- So many powerful things contained in her stage performance in 2013. So glad to see she's produced on her terms so she can truly show what she''s capable of musically. Just feels so wonderful to see someone so humble and broken absolutely conquer the world in a few minutes on stage -- Timeless (it never gets old watching that moment)! Thanks again for this great review and update. We all could use more "happily ever-after" experiences in this darkened world.
Jammer dat ze niets laat horen.Zij heeft veel talent.Bijzondere en heel mooie vrouw.Elke jaar ga ik kijken, heeft ze wat uitgebracht? Go Alice Go! Laat je horen!
Alice was so wonderful the first time I heard her, wow so oh my god for her I love her from heart and soul is what made her so amazing I still love when her sang Funny Valentine, I could see her in a Red Velvet Sequent Dress with her on a platform with a group playing behind her with the music, and even today I still see her today with it 8o).
Yes Alice isn’t being promoted right in my opinion. There needs to be some real talented producers to bring out her talents! I hope they don’t leave her twisting in the dust, because she’s way way too talented to ignore! 🖖 I just got through listening to some of the record again that she put out. I think what’s missing is the passion we felt from the show that hasn’t matched the record. This is why you need a very good producer, they can bring out something that no one else has. Let’s hope they find somebody worthy of her!
Still waiting and praying for someone to properly manage her path to greatness. Simon, can’t you help her here? She’s being mismanaged and wasted. It’s a crime to let her talent languish. We need the real Alice Fredenham to light up our world. 🙏🏼
As one of ~600 people who contributed to Alice Fredenham's 2015 Kickstarter to fund production of her debut album, I was REALLY hoping you were going at least somewhat answer your video's title ..."where are they now". This didn't. Moreover, your summary contained several substantial errors. 1) You missed mentioning one of he reasons why Alice was especially shy on 'Britain's Got Talent' (BGT). Alice first auditioned on the BBC's 'The Voice'. Alice did not win on that. Not winning was one thing. But the judges were asses and also played politics with Alice's subsequent appearance on BGT several weeks later. This foul play led to some accusing Alice of faking shyness. This hurt her a LOT. 2) Contrary to what you said, Alice DID NOT WIN BGT 2013 While Alice did well in the first audition (which you showed), in the second audition (a semifinal round), the judges made a tactical error by counting texted votes from viewers as the basis to decide the winner of the semifinals. This was a poor choice, as it merely revealed that juveniles are the primary viewers, and are the ones who are most likely to text a response. Alice lost in the semifinals to two kids with appallingly dull performances. 3) After losing in the semifinals, you missed mentioning that Alice used 'Kickstarter' to fund creation of her debut album. The funding ended on Valentine's day in 2015. 4) The entity that was supposed to help promote Alice (Esoteric Recordings) proved to be incompetent on many levels. This hurt Alice's prospects. 5) Despite Esoteric's incompetence, Alice recorded her album, entitled "Under the Covers" at Peter Gabriel's 'Real World' studios in England in 2015 6) My guess is that funds ran short, delaying release. It took over a year between recording and the album's release (December 2016 in England, February 2017 in the U.S.) 7) The album has ten songs. Any song from Alice is welcome, but a common album critique is that the band didn't complement Alice's magical voice. Some of the songs also are not optimal for Alice's voice. Still, I have several favorite songs on it. I wish the latter song you played 'Someone to Watch Over Me" was on the album, but it's not. 8) The saddest thing is that Alice appeared to have stopped singing by the time of her debut album's release (end of 2016). Shortly after that, her website became inoperative and eventually disappeared. Alice also stopped posting on her Facebook and Twitter accounts. Alice has not posted a single comment on either in over five years. 9) I am aware of a total 10 songs on her album plus 16 songs not on her album (including the three auditions) and three interviews. 10) Since 2017 I have heard zero about Alice. I hoped this might change when I saw your video. But Alice has disappeared so completely that were I to say she had been abducted aboard a UFO by Martian aliens, you would not be able to prove me wrong. We can just hope Alice is doing well.
All of this is so very sad. She is such a unique and beautiful talent. The industry is truly a mess. What a shockingly lost opportunity. She's very special. She could easily have become a movie star. It amazes me how short sighted people can be. I hope she's ok and I hope one day she appears and shocks the world with a fantastic debut album!!! If you see this Alice, you may be missing, but you are NOT forgotten!!!
@@avoice3390 As I mentioned, Alice released her debut album in early 2017 in the U.S. (late 2016 in the UK). That album is entitled 'Under the Covers'. I enjoy the album but it did receive criticism. The band largely overpowered and at times seemed discordant with Alice's special voice. Just one instrument playing in concert with Alice is better than adding drums, ore drums, synthesizers, electric guitar, etc. It is also unclear if Alice had full control of the song selection, as some seem in character, while others don't.
Her look and her sultry singing is a throw back from the old Hollywood Golden Glamour Era of the 40's, 50's. Lana Turner, Jane Russell, Lauren Bacall, Audrey Hepburn, Susan Hayward, Dorothy Dandridge and I can go on and on and on. Great job young lady. Should your singing career take you to Las Vegas to perform - I will be front and center👍👍
Her voice is so amazing and when she sings it touches your soul. Its breathtaking, close your eyes and just listen for them few minutes all there is Alice's mesmerising voice flowing through you its a feeling of peace that is rare these days. Thankyou Alice
Thank you for featuring her. I just heard her for the first time yesterday had to replay it 3 times now I am searching to find out what ever happened to her ?
Actually, I'm unable to write on my dam... Cell phone, because you got me in TEARS! Your adoration of Miss Fredenham got up so many memories, when I was working for Musical with an ALL American Cast! Especially to Mr. Ray Stevens, a former member and, as far as I know Founder of the "Village People"! (Have a beautiful Rest in Heaven!) May God bless all the successful, and even more, the less successful Gypsies, who work in this hard, difficult, exhausting but wonderful business. I'm sorry, that I strolled along with my thoughts and memories, but at age 62 you sometimes succomb to it Not to mention that September 11th is next week... THANK YOU BY HEART! To write this message took me about 15 minutes Tears
Hi. I want to start off by saying... Thank you for highlighting this beautiful woman, who also has the voice of an Angel. I was looking for more info (and music) on Alice and your heading of 'where are they now' caught my attention. However there is no additional info provided in your video.... So my search continues
I just streamed her album ... and ... sorry, Sony - I think it's very well off the mark in terms of song selection. It's more than obvious what suits her gorgeous voice. What puts her voice in the foreground. And the songs on the album, for the most part, don't do her justice.
I am catching up on all the singers i missed while not watching shows like this. To me Loren Allred, Natan Dagur, and Alice Fredenham are the ones i am having a Susan Boyle moment with. Liquid platinum indeed. Marry me Alice!
Debra, I am coming here for the first time and nothing happens for occasions without sense. I remember when I've listen her for the first time. I could back in time and feel the musical essence of ages . She has a fantastic voice which can be discover by herself and others like a good wine, slowly. This is a kinda d of challenge we live everyday, anytime and everywhere. Someone was willing her voice, someone decide to booster her talent and right now: she is here giving to all of us quality music, celebrating with her voice another good time.

Never a truer word said ,🥰

We may be getting on but hearing Alice sing this , , , is just wonderful 🥰
HER VOICE IS GREAT. GOOD ENOUGH TO MAKE CDS. HER SINGING REMINDS ME OF MUSIC FROM THE 1940S.
Purchased her album today. That, I think, is the best way of expressing my appreciation for her amazing talent.
About to do the same. I buy very few albums. This will be one.

@@whatsupwithsteve I have a quirk in my brain, I only get chills when I am cold. My default reaction to special performances has been to cry. As far back as I can remember, around 4-5 yrs.old that has been the norm. Many times in junior high and high school I wished I could have gotten chills instead of tears. So now you know more about me than you ever cared to know.
Absolutely
The STANDARDS are so beautiful, and Ms. Fredenham's vocals are PRICELESS !!!!!!
She’s also drop dead gorgeous and her sultry curvy figure suits her seductive singing style.
She reminds me of Jessica Rabbit from Who Framed Roger Rabbit.
My first impression was not unlike hearing Judy Garland singing Somewhere over the rainbow for the first time. You knew something very special was unfolding before you. I hope Alice is well and knows what a blessing she is!
I don't know what's in this performance. It is in one unique, unprecedented - every time tears flow alone. Incredible.
sadness
She is beautiful, her voice is like Velvet and with top produclion and marketing teams she would be a Superstar.😮
That might have been the problem. So many demands and expectations is extremely hard for a meek and shy person to handle. It is concerning that she completely dropped out of sight. Some people resort to drugs and alcohol to stay in the business. I guess all we can do is speculate about what's happened. She was a flash of light that burned out way too quickly.😢
Alice made me melt into the memories of the past greats. SEductive , calming and beautiful tonality!
This is the first time I’ve encountered your channel. Your treatment of this artist is really sweet and touching. Thank you! Hugs! Happy holidays to you.
What a wonderful sharing and reaction. Thank you. I saw Alice on BGT and was mesmerized like so many. But I actually think she has blossomed as a singer. This was angelic. She has a bit of Amy Whnehouse, with more jazz than blues. Just beautiful!
I'm saddened to say, i just discovered her, but i'm happy to say, retired i can listen to her now every day, i swore Humphrey Borgard & Louren Bacall where in the audience front row watching her cheering her on, what a voice, and i lovvvve Heavy Metal, but hey a lot of them listen to old style blues for inspiration, miss this king of singing & movies.
Liquid gold her voice is❤
Shes singing old yesteryear songs that come from the heart, sarah Vaughn, but seems shes also singing from a hurting heart too, thats why she sounds so great
You are such a lovely woman. The presentation of Alice and her music is beautifully done. Thank you so much.
Thanks for this update. I love her style. Her voice is so magical.
First time I’ve seen your channel. I really appreciate how you don’t talk over the performance, instead waiting to offer thoughtful commentary afterwards. 👍🏼
Phenomenal talent. Alice shouldn't have to struggle anymore...she should be a worldwide phenomena by now. It's only right.
I've watched her 2013 performance a couple dozen times and it brings tears to my eyes every time! Such a raw, from deep within her soul performance that cannot be faked. I'm happy to see she is continuing to sing. She needs a new engineer for "Someone to Watch Over You" to bring her voice up and back off the nice, but overpowering piano. Just sayin'....she still sounds beautiful.
Just fabulous she us so talented can sing anything, she shoukd be a superstar now in her own show in los Angeles
same here, couldn't help tears from falling. She is amazing.
Me to!!!😢
The most interesting voice I've heard since Sinatra. Where is she?
@@TomTaylor-rl9pf Sadly for all of us it appears she has retired from the music business but if one is really lucky you might get to hear her at a local venue. Funny how some of us dream about success in entertainment only to discover it is a fickle business that will take what you have to offer then dump you in the street.
Alice got to the semifinal on BGT in 2013 singing Cry Me A River but forgot a few words in the song and did not win the season. Sony records dropped her and she released an album Under The Covers on her own which was never promoted. This was my favorite cover of MFV until Angelins did another this year. Both versions are very sultry and I still watch both
Sony dropped her which means she didn't sleep with anyone, didn't give blow jobs and didn't sale her soul. Perfect!!@@
I wish her to go great again!! Only God knows an will guide her❤️❤️❤️❤️
❤❤❤❤
Thank you for doing this. I just now found out who Alice is. I'm 85 years old and know vinyl. She's a wonderful artist. Thanks again for your TH-cam.
Dreamy and got me closing my eyes and floating on beautiful clouds and a warm breeze just dreamy..fluid smooth and sultry!
I watch her audition years ago and never forgot her voice. Truly skilled singer and draws you right in to her singing.. love it..
Fabulous show. I'm a subscriber even after only hearing your voice once. I was moved this afternoon as I discovered Alice Fredenham for the first time. I surfed the internet to find more places to hear about her and found your channel. So, it was a great show, but I'm also looking forward to hearing more of what you have to say.
I loved her audition also. Thank you for bringing her back.. I'm 77 and I remember loving the smooth jazz and balads, but I had to keep in to myself. In the 60s it was Rock and Roll and I would have been banished by my friends if they knew what I listened to when alone
She's marvelous. Most music still sounds best on vinyl, and reggae still features it. Thank you for sharing. Please find her and bring us up to date? Thanks and blessings Queen!
It's not just her voice it's the whole heart and soul that makes a performance magical so you can feel it in your own heart and soul it's the difference between this and rock and roll which is you feel it in your head and your heart when you hear a former like this it affects your whole entire being and I like how you felt it as well especially coming from a darker pigmented feminine entity I could actually feel your feelings about what you were hearing
This was the post I came for, After seeing her BGT audition and needed to see what happened!!Thank You so much for posting this.
She is bringing the past into the future too. I love the trajectory of this old to new and updated classics.
Her voice is mesmerizing! It takes me back . Way back. The vinyl 45's and LPs. Break out the record player" !!😎🍍🌴🇺🇸
I discovered Alice Fredenham a few days ago whilst perusing TH-cam, and found her voice incredible. I live in Germany and had never heard of her, but after listening to her audition on "Britain's Got Talent", which brought me to tears! I then tried to find her without success, but was able to order her CV "Under the Covers" (which I think it's the only one???) from Amazon, and now eagerly awaiting its arrival! Thank you for your retrospective on her - absolutely lovely - I loved it!
Pure perfection... Doubt I ever will experience anything topping this....
Thank you for this precious video. I lost track of Alice and was a bit heart broken when she was not around. Again, thank you.😁😍🤩
What a sweet voice, I can hear any song she sang all day everyday ❤
So mesmerizing, so smooth, such unique emphasis and phrasing.
Outstanding 😢I could listen to her all day . Stunning lady ❤
Thank you for this wonderful upload. I’m old enough to remember LPs and placing the needle on the vinyl. I also loved those sultry female vocalists, and Alice provides an awesome addition to the genre. Hoping for similar content soon!
Thank you for doing this. She is so deserving. Maybe someone could tempt her into the jazz festival circuit at least. I don't know if she likes live performances since she's so shy but she was amazing.
Just looked for her and heard a few of her professional recordings, including "My funny Valentine". I love her original version on AGT, and just realized why, the key it was recorded in, it's for my taste, a bit low in comparison and her voice drags a bit and does not shine like on her debut with Simon. She's still precious and has a great jazzy voice 🤗💞
Simon said to her: Your voice is like liquid gold & that is what it is! ... BEAUTIFUL & MESMERIZING!
Her soul touched mine ❤
Over the years i have watched agt, bgt, cgt and i believe she is still one of my favorites. I was so excited she won. I hope it changed her life in wonderful ways. She is amazing, yet humble.
I loved her over of this song but to be honestly I think her official album release was disappointing as it needed more songs like this one that showcased her unique beautiful voice. I have a feeling marketing men got in the way because her talents are undeniable. Of course it is her right to sing what she wants but I hope future releases including more jazz standards where her Billie Holiday like skills can really be prominent. It is a waste to have such a talented singer deliver material that does not promote her strengths. This song though like her covers on the Talent shows is gorgeous.
Totally agree. I heard her album but no such touching warm music like this one. What a waste😢
Thank you for bringing us this update.
This was one of Alice Fredenham's best performances it is evenident in how involved she was in what she was doing a natural true performance coming right from her sole I think a ton of inputs from every corner confused her output when she gets back her true confidence and it becomes part of her we all will benefit from her greatness.
Here I go again -- I also found a recording she did for her Kickstarter supporters in 2015, on TH-cam, of, "I Only Have Eyes for You." Beautiful! Spine tingling! Once again, I hope she can (if necessary) tell the music industry to go jump, and find some way to make her singing available.
Alice's 'I only have eyes for you' was done at Esoteric recordings. While Esoteric helped with that release, they totally botched the rest of Alice's Kickstarter campaign. I know, as I was one of 600 who participated. Alice stopped singing by the release of her album, late 2016. There are a total of 26 songs, including the auditions and ten from her album, with all but three on TH-cam. There are also three interviews. I hope she's doing well, but sadly, we've long lost hearing her sing.
@@gregparrott I was a kick starter, too. She disappeared. I think she was likely abused by the industry. Clearly, the folks who picked her up and produced her album sucked... and took her off her career trajectory as a classic, vintage singer. So sad, really. `So sad.
Thank you for show casing Alice. You also recognize the greatness in her delivery, ability to enthrall her listeners, a uniqueness and yet subtle familiarity of great vocal predecessors in her voice. She should start in her own musical biography about her journey to being discovered or portraying another famous cinematic siren great.
I'm really glad to have found you I think her Funny valentine is one of the best songs I've ever seen and I've searched for this follow up on what she is doing and had done since the competition thanks for the effort great job. I still go back and rewatch her do the Funny Valentine on BGT 2013 quite often :)
Shes someone to listen to everyday all day, soothing and cool
I listened to after buying her album… I listened to her album while painting. At least 50 times in the first week. Voices have the ability to change lives. All my love to you Alice and YOU HAVE TO DO ANOTHER ALBUM PLEASE. I WILL LSO BUY IT.
My mom used to sing this ❤ Thank you Alice for singing the golden oldies so Beautifully
Next to Angelina's most current version of the song, I thought Alice's version
was better than anyone else I ever heard do it.
She was extremely sultry and has a beautiful voice too.
@@jannrhoads5836 She wasn't dressed for the part, but had she been
fitted with the red dress I saw her in, and fully made up 'facially, like
she was in a later performance, she would have come forth as
gorgeous goddess like lounge singer. She should have taken a cue
from 'old time' singer Julie London, for sure.
@@ridgemanron Coudnt disagree with you more. I'd have her a thousand times over than wearing that red dress and red lipstick.... A stunningly beautyful woman with an equally stunning and pure voice, and voi-la, David (BGT) said it best: a godess... A bundle of nerves wearing jeans and a sweater smashing three thousand hearts (and some) within minutes!!!! Pure magic....
And by the way..
It does not need to be a red dress, she makes any black dress look like a million dollar one!
Excellent video review to highlight the "Cinderella story" of Alice Fredenham. Such a wonderful timeless moment of Ms. Fredenham's vocal performance on BGT -- So many powerful things contained in her stage performance in 2013. So glad to see she's produced on her terms so she can truly show what she''s capable of musically. Just feels so wonderful to see someone so humble and broken absolutely conquer the world in a few minutes on stage -- Timeless (it never gets old watching that moment)! Thanks again for this great review and update. We all could use more "happily ever-after" experiences in this darkened world.
Jammer dat ze niets laat horen.Zij heeft veel talent.Bijzondere en heel mooie vrouw.Elke jaar ga ik kijken, heeft ze wat uitgebracht? Go Alice Go! Laat je horen!
Alice was so wonderful the first time I heard her, wow so oh my god for her I love her from heart and soul is what made her so amazing I still love when her sang Funny Valentine, I could see her in a Red Velvet Sequent Dress with her on a platform with a group playing behind her with the music, and even today I still see her today with it 8o).
Her voice melts ice wow she’s everything to me Such perfection. She moves me 🫠💝💐thanks you have a lot of class 💐
Yes Alice isn’t being promoted right in my opinion. There needs to be some real talented producers to bring out her talents!
I hope they don’t leave her twisting in the dust, because she’s way way too talented to ignore! 🖖
I just got through listening to some of the record again that she put out. I think what’s missing is the passion we felt from the show that hasn’t matched the record.
This is why you need a very good producer, they can bring out something that no one else has. Let’s hope they find somebody worthy of her!
Still waiting and praying for someone to properly manage her path to greatness. Simon, can’t you help her here? She’s being mismanaged and wasted. It’s a crime to let her talent languish. We need the real Alice Fredenham to light up our world. 🙏🏼
YES ... Vinyl!! she was fantastic on BGT.. Loved watching you watch her!!
I’m 77 and have never heard such a voice as hers. I LOVE HER
Absolutely wonderful as well as breathtaking. I desire to have her music in my collection. I love her style. Just magnificent and magical.
To an old guy (66) like me she is totally enchanting and is an old soul !
thank you greatly for your reaction to this amazing soulful singer…
May she have a blossoming future.
It's so hard to me to like someone's voice. She stunned me today...she reaches ppl heart. Like she reached yours ❤❤❤
Ican look at that first appearance over and over again like 6 times a day ❤❤❤❤

As one of ~600 people who contributed to Alice Fredenham's 2015 Kickstarter to fund production of her debut album, I was REALLY hoping you were going at least somewhat answer your video's title ..."where are they now". This didn't. Moreover, your summary contained several substantial errors.
1) You missed mentioning one of he reasons why Alice was especially shy on 'Britain's Got Talent' (BGT). Alice first auditioned on the BBC's 'The Voice'. Alice did not win on that. Not winning was one thing. But the judges were asses and also played politics with Alice's subsequent appearance on BGT several weeks later. This foul play led to some accusing Alice of faking shyness. This hurt her a LOT.
2) Contrary to what you said, Alice DID NOT WIN BGT 2013 While Alice did well in the first audition (which you showed), in the second audition (a semifinal round), the judges made a tactical error by counting texted votes from viewers as the basis to decide the winner of the semifinals. This was a poor choice, as it merely revealed that juveniles are the primary viewers, and are the ones who are most likely to text a response. Alice lost in the semifinals to two kids with appallingly dull performances.
3) After losing in the semifinals, you missed mentioning that Alice used 'Kickstarter' to fund creation of her debut album. The funding ended on Valentine's day in 2015.
4) The entity that was supposed to help promote Alice (Esoteric Recordings) proved to be incompetent on many levels. This hurt Alice's prospects.
5) Despite Esoteric's incompetence, Alice recorded her album, entitled "Under the Covers" at Peter Gabriel's 'Real World' studios in England in 2015
6) My guess is that funds ran short, delaying release. It took over a year between recording and the album's release (December 2016 in England, February 2017 in the U.S.)
7) The album has ten songs. Any song from Alice is welcome, but a common album critique is that the band didn't complement Alice's magical voice. Some of the songs also are not optimal for Alice's voice. Still, I have several favorite songs on it. I wish the latter song you played 'Someone to Watch Over Me" was on the album, but it's not.
8) The saddest thing is that Alice appeared to have stopped singing by the time of her debut album's release (end of 2016). Shortly after that, her website became inoperative and eventually disappeared. Alice also stopped posting on her Facebook and Twitter accounts. Alice has not posted a single comment on either in over five years.
9) I am aware of a total 10 songs on her album plus 16 songs not on her album (including the three auditions) and three interviews.
10) Since 2017 I have heard zero about Alice. I hoped this might change when I saw your video. But Alice has disappeared so completely that were I to say she had been abducted aboard a UFO by Martian aliens, you would not be able to prove me wrong. We can just hope Alice is doing well.
All of this is so very sad. She is such a unique and beautiful talent. The industry is truly a mess. What a shockingly lost opportunity. She's very special. She could easily have become a movie star. It amazes me how short sighted people can be. I hope she's ok and I hope one day she appears and shocks the world with a fantastic debut album!!! If you see this Alice, you may be missing, but you are NOT forgotten!!!
@@avoice3390 As I mentioned, Alice released her debut album in early 2017 in the U.S. (late 2016 in the UK). That album is entitled 'Under the Covers'. I enjoy the album but it did receive criticism. The band largely overpowered and at times seemed discordant with Alice's special voice. Just one instrument playing in concert with Alice is better than adding drums, ore drums, synthesizers, electric guitar, etc. It is also unclear if Alice had full control of the song selection, as some seem in character, while others don't.
Thank you for sharing this. I’m also rooting for her! I only hope all is well on her and may she find peace and happiness.
Excellent summary! Thank you for the facts.
Her look and her sultry singing is a throw back from the old Hollywood Golden Glamour Era of the 40's, 50's. Lana Turner, Jane Russell, Lauren Bacall, Audrey Hepburn, Susan Hayward, Dorothy Dandridge and I can go on and on and on. Great job young lady. Should your singing career take you to Las Vegas to perform - I will be front and center👍👍
Ava Gardner
@@cliffordnhlapo6900 - Yes lets not forget Ava Gardner
@@cliffordnhlapo6900 - she has a little resemblance of Ava Gardner 👍
Her voice is so amazing and when she sings it touches your soul. Its breathtaking, close your eyes and just listen for them few minutes all there is Alice's mesmerising voice flowing through you its a feeling of peace that is rare these days. Thankyou Alice
Thank you for featuring her. I just heard her for the first time yesterday had to replay it 3 times now I am searching to find out what ever happened to her ?
Actually, I'm unable to write on my dam... Cell phone, because you got me in TEARS!
Your adoration of Miss Fredenham got up so many memories, when I was working for Musical with an ALL American Cast!
Especially to Mr. Ray Stevens, a former member and, as far as I know Founder of the "Village People"! (Have a beautiful Rest in Heaven!)
May God bless all the successful, and even more, the less successful Gypsies, who work in this hard, difficult, exhausting but wonderful business.
I'm sorry, that I strolled along with my thoughts and memories, but at age 62 you sometimes succomb to it
Not to mention that September 11th is next week...
THANK YOU BY HEART!
To write this message took me about 15 minutes
Tears
I love this, you are amazing Alice 💖
From South Africa.
Hi. I want to start off by saying... Thank you for highlighting this beautiful woman, who also has the voice of an Angel. I was looking for more info (and music) on Alice and your heading of 'where are they now' caught my attention. However there is no additional info provided in your video.... So my search continues
I did come across your other channel, Fit Fab 50, and admire your very positive vibe
I just streamed her album ... and ... sorry, Sony - I think it's very well off the mark in terms of song selection. It's more than obvious what suits her gorgeous voice. What puts her voice in the foreground. And the songs on the album, for the most part, don't do her justice.
Yes, vinyl voices. I hear you.
Alice from Harpenden, Hetrs , what a talent .You are destined for the bigger stage,--be ready . Love you to bits.💞from a humble Broxbourne admirer.
I love her voice
I am catching up on all the singers i missed while not watching shows like this. To me Loren Allred, Natan Dagur, and Alice Fredenham are the ones i am having a Susan Boyle moment with. Liquid platinum indeed. Marry me Alice!
❤❤❤❤❤ Just Amazing Alice. Just beautiful..... Just beautiful like you. God bless you always 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Puerto Rico
Thank you 😊
...beautiful woman, beautiful voice, excellent performance...
Debra, I am coming here for the first time and nothing happens for occasions without sense.
I remember when I've listen her for the first time. I could back in time and feel the musical essence of ages . She has a fantastic voice which can be discover by herself and others like a good wine, slowly.
This is a kinda d of challenge we live everyday, anytime and everywhere. Someone was willing her voice, someone decide to booster her talent and right now: she is here giving to all of us quality music, celebrating with her voice another good time.
