She's a bit like Meshell Ndegeocello so when her playing sits back in the mix its nice. But it comes across as a little egotistical when the whole band is used as a vehicle for the bass, which is whats going on in the intro in the first link.

She is great, and a top draw singer as well.
I like the comment on the first video..

"That bass is almost as big as she is, but she is handling it like a pro"
Priceless... :)

Yes I would. I don't think bass works as a solo instrument, it has other strengths.

If a recipe was prepared in the same way, it would be like a pizza with a gnocci, pasta, tofu and potato topping.

I don't think of bass as a solo instrument either, but as a bassist / frontwoman, I think she can be forgiven for kicking off with a bit of showboating...?

I thought as 'showboating' went it was very restrained and if it was the first song of the set, the right kind of thing to warm up the audience. My only criticism (and I'm probably not qualified to criticise as my foray into singing and playing was pretty poor, but anyway...) is that her basslines under her vocal parts can be a bit dull and unimaginative, which means it gets bit predictable.

However, she is a technically accomplished player, excellent singer, good frontwoman and very attractive, so I think, overall, she kind of comes out on top.

Im usually one for admiring up front bass players for their talent and skill, but not really enjoying it from a sit back n listen perspective, but I did really enjoy the intro, I got into it

Yes, she's great. She's on quite a bit of Outkasts "Speakerbox/The Love Below", which is great....(just waiting for all the "no it isn't, it's crap!" comments...).

Exactly!! Are sax players all egotists when they solo? Are bass players only allowed to play four string basses, sticking to no more than four beats to a bar, root and fifth, no higher than the fifth fret?

Imagine if all pizzas were cheese and tomato, what a dull world we'd all live in!!
