LISA BOUCHELLE

          

She needs one single international break and she will shine brighter than Janis Joplin and bigger than Cindy Lauper! I guarantee you that. Wherever she sang, she took the audience by storm. They loved her! Her audience loved her! Her fans loved her. But this is not sufficient, for bravos, applauses and accolades are not enough. I want to see the name of this girl, in lights over the world’s biggest concert hall billboards and signs, because she can handle it! I totally believe in her. Sweet on the outside, volcano on the inside, this is how I feel her soul and persona. And in case, if the opposite is true, this would be much better! How much the human mind, the human heart and the human body can take, absorb and store effervescent creativity, deep emotions and intense human reality? Soon or later, an explosion will splash and detonate on the outside. Some of us react with determination, tenacity perhaps or a laisser-faire nonchalant attitude. While others, express their feelings and inners emotions in poetry, music, singing or simply a delightful madness. Artists react as such. And when they do, a part of our being identifies itself with their creativity expressed in lyrics, songs or even revolutionary ideas. Probably, the most common way to touch the face of human reality and enjoy those few moments of happiness in our life is to sing along with a singer who expresses our feelings, state of mind, understanding our fate, accepting what its shaping our destiny, thus causing us some sorrow, joy and sometimes…confusion. If artists manage to do that in their music and songs, then and only then, they become part of us and attain immortality. Lisa Bouchelle succeeded in touching our heart, in putting a tiger in our tank, in flirting with our sweet-bitter thoughts, in adding some warm colors to our passion for life. She is not yet the Mona Lisa of world music, nor the world’s most glittering singer/composer/writer. But, she is first class…she is the personification of the sweet tender emotional explosive truthful crazy wise vibrant romantic innocent and daring diva. International fame and fat bank account are not the indication of quality and excellence in showbiz. What counts, is the quality, standards, beauty and depth of the deeds and the work we give to the world. Lisa Bouchelle, this tender-explosive, mad-wise, a super diva in the making has this superb quality, high standards and depth in her music, lyrics, persona and character. I just like her. I like her style! I like her energy. I like what she represents: life and delightful musical original creativity.

Lisa Bouchelle, the most lovable singer in the business. A treasure. A delight!
