Charming; deadly; magnetic; fiery; she coyly smiles one moment, and shoots daggers the next. Waaaay before Gaga, she broke all molds and shocked us to the bone with her image and her velvet, commanding voice. A rich, melodic, elegant voice.
I NEVER UNDERSTOOD WHY GRACE WAS ALWAYS SO UNDERRATED DISMISSED IN FACT,NOR DO I UNDERSTAND WHY AMERICA NEVER EMBRACED HER THE WAY THEY SHOULD'VE. GRACE WAS ALWAYS AHEAD OF HER TIME ALL ONE NEEDS TO DO IS LOOK AT HER VISUAL BODY OF WORK MOST WAS DONE BEFORE PHOTOSHOP AND ALL THE OTHER TRICKERY DONE TODAY 30 + YRS LATER PEOPLE ARE JUST CATCHING UP AND COPYING WHO AREN'T GIVING THE GODDESS HER PROPERS
Slave to the Rhythm is my favourite album. Production by Trevor Horn was excellent, but for me Grace is unique, she stands alone as a recording artist, a performance artist, a genius! And who else would have the courage to even try to keep a hula hoop up during the Jubilee concert.....
Zach Bond That's because some people don't understand her voice. It was in 1980 till she finally worked with people who appreciated her voice the way it is and totally understand her. That's how she became the true Grace Jones we know today. True to who she really is.
grace jones is the queen icon that helped open the door for other black talented female artist and she is definitely a legend for sexy african America women
there's a difference between mainstream and Underground. The Ramones are GODS in rock music... they were never mainstream. Jones is Underground and always will be. Once again.... She's a Performance artist, she creates art. Others follow (like gaga)
Such an under-estimated artist ! Her latest album HURRICANE should have been a million seller like NIGHTCLUBBING was. But then - the album was certainly well-received.
een groot itervieu mijn lievelings album is nightclubing ze ziet er steets geweldig uit en geeft mij veel kijk plezier ik vind haar geen Disco maar exstravragant met heel veel lef
Georgina ,Grace is the most mesmerizing exotic uniquely natural phenomenon there is ! She makes a cigarette smolder without lighting a match ! Check out her video she sings La Vie En Rose !
As much as she Copies Jones not to mention Madonna... She has a shrine of them. Thats the problem with people who think they're critics... She's a Performance Artist! When you're JUST a singer, then you're Streisand, Dion or Adele. This is ART! Reason why you have people like Gaga copying her style and clothes. Even Jones has spoken of it. Look it up.
i well aware of the differences between underground vs mainstream----i can tell you were not part of the disco era, simply beacause if you were, you would have known that "disco" music for the most part was considered undergound-----the success of "Saturday Night Fever" propelled disco from the underground to the mainstream literally over night..jones got the label of "undergound" simply because her style of music never really crossed over to the mainstrem, despite being heavily promoted
you still havent proven to me how she is underrated....her music was popular in the discos/clubs in the late 70s early 80s...shes never had a major pop hit, something all artists dream of, whether they are considered performance artists or not...jones can say what she wants about gaga----the only similarities they share are their outrageous styles, and thier club oriented brand of music....just because an artist has an outrageuous style, doesnt mean he/she copied jones, madonna or anyone else,
do my homework? LOL, dont have to--but evidently you do----her first 3 albums, "Portfolio", "Fame", and "Muse", (i have all 3) were all part of a disco trilogy....her biggest pop hit, #77 pop, was a #1 disco smash called "i need a man" ...she is and was, considered a disco artist----thats were she had her biggest success---and i might add, accrodng to her bio, shes a "Jamaican singer, model and actress"...do YOUR homework.....DUDE
NOW YOU HAVE A LONG LIST OF CHEEZ WHO ARE JUST COPYING HER LOOK AND THE MINONS & IMPS OF TODAY ARE LOVING THAT REPETITIVE TRASH AND THEY THINK IT'S ORIGINAL IT'S NOT. I KNOW THAT EVERYTHING IS RECYCLED BUT JUST GIVE THE CREDIT OF WHERE THE INSPIRATION CAME FROM AND NOT LIE SAYING IT WAS YOUR IDEA DAMN!
The Ramones style of music was never in the pop vein, Jone's music was---- therefore, your comparison is laughable and rather nieve.....Graces music was "disco" which was a VERY popular style of pop music in the mid to late 70s--her record label would have love for her to crossover to the mainstream pop charts, and she almost did...but never quite made it..The Ramones were never in any way considered a pop band, nor did they want to be...they were at complete opposite ends of the music spectrum
Dude... Do your homework!!!! she only made ONE disco record. So did Streisand. BIG DEAL! She's Underground... Just look up Performance Artist. Expand your mind!
as a singer she is not underrated at all----she cant sing, i saw her live once, if it werent for her unique style and stage presence, shed be a total wash out---shes been a top model, an actress and disco singer--based on those achievements id hardly call her underrated...the lady gaga comparison is silly, id bet lady gaga has no idea who she even is..
