Four Women

First off I have to say the way each of these ladies sung was amazing. I think these four women were perfect to sing the parts they did. I had to go back and listen to the song again becuase the first time I was just watching them perform, not really listening to what they were saying. When I listened again I realized it was the story of four different black women. Each part had its own story to tell. It also made it easier for me to understand when I read the lyrics while they were singing. I also liked how the women that sung their parts in a way went with what they were singing. The last part when they were all singing together gave me goosebumps.

It was really interesting to be able to her Nina Simone perform her own work. It is always more interesting when you are able to hear someone do their own work because you hear piece the way the intended for you to hear it. There were some parts she said that were not in the lyrics or in the way the women sung. I wonder if it was intentionall that the extra words were added in or that was the way she had originally wrote the piece.
