Shontelle

Seeing Shontelle live is as her song says "impossible" and by that I mean her talent is impossible to believe.

She seems to prefer singing without the aid of backing music and instead showcases her vocals initially before she performs again with backing music. Her candid banter with the audience makes the transition from a capella to musical. Her impressive talents extend to performing her signature songs with additions such as short raps, scratches, and even audience participation. She picks her songs back up effortlessly and switches notes without any visual sign of thinking.

Shontelle's outfit choices for concerts are sleek, classy and fashionable. She incorporates RnB classics such as little white jackets, fedoras, and sleek hairstyles while remaining modern. Chunky highlights, razor teased and cut bangs with funky jewelry set the otherwise simple stage for her performances. When she invites another musician to back her up her plain backdrops and effortlessly classy fashion keep all attention on her without the use of props or special effects.

While she croons her sad, wistful, and even angry songs she is always careful to engage her audience and show her love of performing in a manner that leaves no doubt as to her happiness. Her joy seems to infect the entire audience and the normally frenzied pace of concerts becomes more of a harmonized lull as we listen and experience her talents.

A concert experience with Shontelle is certainly not one to be missed, if only to confirm her vocal talent and love of performing for yourself.
