ALICE FREDENHAM where are they now reaction 

Not everyone will have an appreciation for her style but that is REAL music!!!! She does things from the past where there was true ART!!

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.😁😍🤩

Soy de México y siempre me gusto su melodía aún la disfruto .Donde esta ella 😢 la quiero oir

I love her voice

She's MAGIC!.

I love her voice! I could listen to her all day!

Listening to her makes me feel like breathing fresh air.

I want her album, I would buy one in a heartbeat!!!

Alice! We love your voice!

I'm so happy for her I hope Alice continues. Maybe was looking for exceptence. And chance t prove herself.

Alice did not win BGT in 2013, Attraction did!

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!

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.

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?

Her voice bypasses the ears and goes straight to the heart.

Purchased her album today. That, I think, is the best way of expressing my appreciation for her amazing talent.

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...

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 ? 😮

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.

Hi I’m now 72 and I would just like to say thank you Alice Fredenham your voice brings back memories. What a beautiful voice thanks again.

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.

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 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. 💜

Why singers like that don't get famous, that industry is not fair

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.

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 don't know what's in this performance. It is in one unique, unprecedented - every time tears flow alone. Incredible.

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!

She is beautiful, her voice is like Velvet and with top produclion and marketing teams she would be a Superstar.😮

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.

Alice made me melt into the memories of the past greats. SEductive , calming and beautiful tonality!

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.

So in love with her voice and style of music

Liquid gold her voice is❤

Your reference to the vinyl days was SPOT ON! Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Take care and keep well and safe! ❤😊

The STANDARDS are so beautiful, and Ms. Fredenham's vocals are PRICELESS !!!!!!

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.

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!!

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!

You are such a lovely woman. The presentation of Alice and her music is beautifully done. Thank you so much.

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.

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

I fell for Alice the first time I saw her sing. I watch and rewatch her RU-vid videos as often as possible. Her voice is so calming and original. Just wish she was singing full time. She is awesome!

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.

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

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

She is bringing the past into the future too. I love the trajectory of this old to new and updated classics.

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!

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 RU-vid.

Pure perfection... Doubt I ever will experience anything topping this....

Dreamy and got me closing my eyes and floating on beautiful clouds and a warm breeze just dreamy..fluid smooth and sultry!

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.

Phenomenal talent. Alice shouldn't have to struggle anymore...she should be a worldwide phenomena by now. It's only right.

Her voice is mesmerizing! It takes me back . Way back. The vinyl 45's and LPs. Break out the record player" !!😎🍍🌴🇺🇸

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

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!

Yes, vinyl voices. I hear you.

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!

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.

Outstanding 😢I could listen to her all day . Stunning lady ❤

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. 👍🏼

May she have a blossoming future.

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.

Hi Deborah (love what you've done with your hair!). Yes, as Bob Deane pointed out, Alice did not win that competition. And there was a good amount of controversy and rumor connected with Alice that may not have benefited her career. And it is too bad because I really liked some of her vocal efforts. Oddly enough, the spot that she had in my heart for a while was taken over by Angelina ... who has a very long term lease on that particular space now.

Debora, Can you please checkout Sara James "Rocket Man" (Elton John cover) AGT 2022 semifinals. Sara is 13 yo from Poland. She won The Voice Juniors Poland, came in 2nd Eurovision Juniors 2021 and now is about to win AGT. Many similarities to AJ in a way of greatness. Love from Poland!

Shes someone to listen to everyday all day, soothing and cool

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.

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

I am saddened, she hasn't had the team on her behalf to capitulate her success. Such a loss for the world .. Simon signed her ro Sony ..then left that group. Why he didn't follow her up ..I DO NOT UNDERSTAND! makes me very upset ...

What a sweet voice, I can hear any song she sang all day everyday ❤

You are incorrect.. she never made it past the semi finals… her album never went anywhere and she really just stopped trying.. It’s a shame because her voice was/is great. But without proper management and the drive to make it, she just dropped out of the business. This lady in the video, giving her opinions does not have a clue….

Definitely the best version of this song ever Ever ever ❤💐🫠🤗🥰🏆🧸👍🫠

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 🤗💞

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.

There is no doubt that this young lady has it all in spades, i remember her original outing on Britains got Talent, she sang , 'My Funny Valentine', absolutely mesmerising, my thoughts at the time, were, this girl is going places, sadley, as i am to understand this didnt happen, i dont know the reason's, but it would appear that Alice has backed away from the limelight so to speak, which is a travesty, both for her, & & her listening public, such a shame, if Alice has problems of a kind, i just hope that she is able to deal with her issues, I'm sure, that with me, everyone out there, will wish her well, good health, & ultimately the strengh to return to what she does best, PERFORMING. Alice, if you happen to see this post, i just say to you, you are one beautiful, talented lady, you have it all my girl, share it with the people that love & appreciate what you have, you bring a great deal of pleasure to millions of people, so whatever your decision has been, i know not what that might be, but is it not worthy of reconsideration, i wish you, buena salud para ti. El TJR de Canaries.❤❤❤❤❤❤

I love this time travelling machine.... Back to the future type of sexy soft and complete voice....

it's sad that Alice like Disappeared....bought her Album Under the Covers....took 15 months to finally get it....but it would be nice to see WHAT Happened to her??? its like she fell off the Planet???

Her soul touched mine ❤

Para mí es la mejor interpretación de Fanny Valentain(no se si lo escribí bien...disculpas) que he escuchado...hermosa voz buen estilo.

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!

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.

Well that was disappointing. I was expecting to find out where she was now.

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.

Here I go again -- I also found a recording she did for her Kickstarter supporters in 2015, on RU-vid, 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.

I have watched this performance many, many times, but not buying the shy, quiet, timid, pre performance. Alice never lacking confidence. I loved her rendition, just never believed the hype. She didn't win.

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!

She belongs in another era

Like Amnda, I fell in love with her...83 and still got them loving feelings...

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.

🐼 Big Panda Bear Hugs from a 69 yr old grandma in Texas, USA. 🐼 ❤ 🎀 👍 🧚‍♂ 🐈 🧚 🍀 💐 🌸

Just love Alice, I remember it all so clearly. I remember she did her album herself do to contract issues , I kept getting apologetic messages about the delay and I think it all got too much for her.....a wasted talent for sure. Still play the album, its brilliant and some amazing covers. Great choice to do on your channel.

So mesmerizing, so smooth, such unique emphasis and phrasing.

To an old guy (66) like me she is totally enchanting and is an old soul !

Billie Holiday is 1. But Alice Fredenham is close after

If you could mix the voices of Linda Ronstadt and Amy Winehouse - well, the result would be Alice Freenham.

love her! My kind of music, sexy and sultry

I was very glad to see and hear this video. I recently saw Alice Fredenham's famous performance on BGT, and wanted to see what else she had done. All I could find was her one album, from 2017, I believe -- I thought it was disappointing and noticed that most reviewers on Amazon agreed -- apparently the producers were to blame. And what a pity, considering what she is capable of, with her beautiful voice and beautiful soul. So I was really glad to hear the more recent recording on your video, in an ideal setting, with a sympathetic piano accompaniment . . . and Alice F. back in top form. Was that from an album??? Or where and how did you find it?? Please do try to find out what she is up to, and keep listeners informed. I hope she is somehow enjoying the success that her talent deserves.

I have loved Alice since even before the show aired but... I think that whole shy thing was a put on. I'm pretty sure I watched videos of her performing long before she entered BGT and she didn't act or look "scared" in any of them. If you take hearing the same sultry voice... and add in the same moves and expressions you just watched BUT visualize the performance with Alice dressed as a glamorous 1930's nightclub siren. It was obviously memorable!!!

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.
