New singer gains widespread exposure as her video surfaces all over the internet! Relatively new singer-songwriter 'Aimée', has been gaining widespread popularity worldwide recently as a video of an emotional performance from the singer surfaces all over the internet. Two nights ago, a video was uploaded onto 'Youtube' of her performing live in London, and unexpectedly, the amount of views had took off overnight. Not to mention, the singer-songwriter also was complimented by many high-profile musicians such as Hayden, Jason Ochoa (from The Zone), and more! We rarely see any musicians/singers that went mainstream from being a Youtube 'phenomenon' - and the last person to achieve this milestone was Jacob Estrada. The comments on the video by users on Youtube and the comments by most critics regarding Aimée's performance in London all seems to be similar in a way. Most believe that the new girl on the block 'Aimée' isn't as sexually charged as other females in the industry and many believe that that's a great turn in the tide. Most of the time, you'd see most female artists overly exposing themselves, or others that somewhat displays a little 'sexiness', but Aimée seems like she can entertain a large crowd without taking off any of her clothes. Now, exposing a little bit and being 'sexy' isn't a bad thing at all, but it's good to see a change in music after a while. As they say, "Out with the old, in with the new."Which such exposure in a little amount of time, and as Aimée's popularity begins to soar, it looks as if 2013 will be a great year for her! She took to the social networking site Twitter to announce her upcoming debut album titled 'Visions', is set for a February release next year. She also confirmed the release of the lead single to be lifted off of the album, set to be released in January. This all seems great for the new singer. We surely hope an artist like Aimée can stick around for the years to come, and the Parent Council hopes so as well!

 It had been about 3 months since Aimée has last performed at a venue. She had been busy in the studio recording and prepping for her debut album that's set for a guaranteed release during the new year. Although she haven't performed in a while, it'll be the same for her just as every show. Why? Because she doesn't need backup dancers, choreography, or special lighting and effects to entertain the audience. Aimée was always simple when it came to performing and that's what people admire about her the most. Along with that, she never tried to fit in in the industry as another skinny-tanned blonde, and that's what makes her a standout, along with a few other musicians. She would simply walk out onto the stage in her own classy style, wearing a dress and not too much makeup on. When Aimée would perform, it was something about her voice that would always captivate the audience, and leads them to make standing ovations. As soon as she started singing, you can see how much emotion she would put into it. When she would sing, it's almost as if everyone in the audience who's watching, somehow feels Aimée's emotional energy in the room. That's how much emotion she puts into her performance, and that what makes her a talented standout performer/musician. It was about 7:40 PM, approximately 20 minutes before Aimée was set to perform, and she was sitting in one of the many dressing rooms that were in the venue. Three other acts had already performed, and the fourth one was wrapping up, as it was almost time for Aimée to hit the stage. She was sitting with her band, talking to them whilst getting ready. She quickly went to use the bathroom so that she wouldn't have to use the bathroom while she was performing. Fast-forward to 5 minutes until the show, her stage band and herself all gather around each other and Aimée said a short prayer. The others, including herself, closed there eyes and bowed their heads, facing to the floor. After about 2 minutes of there prayer, there was only 3 more minutes until the announcer would come out and introduce Aimée to the crowd. She took a deep breath and finally turned to her stage band and said to them, "Thank you all for being here for me. I dunno what I'd do with any of you guys. Fank you all!". When it was finally her time to perform, the announcer announced her name and the crowd began to cheer. Aimée has recently been gaining some attention throughout the UK, and although she wasn't at a "superstar" status as of yet, she was surely getting there. When the announcer came on stage, both her and her stage band came out onto the stage and she greeted them instantly. When she got to the center of the stage, she saluted the cheering audience and blew a few kisses. "Fank you all for being here tonight. I greatly appreciate it and so does my band." After talking to the audience for another minute or so, she began singing a song off of her untitled upcoming album. Performance similar to:
Set List (All Original Songs):1. Hit The Road
2. Bow To My Soul
3. Fire (Preview)After her mini-speech to the audience, she fixed the microphone on it's stand and her stage band began playing the notes to her song 'Hit The Road' She began singing the first verse. The microphone was on it's stand and while she was singing, she closed her eyes and started tapping her feet a bit. She also started singing with her hands as well. When she first sung the line "Feels like I took a million stones to the bone", she made a fist. She had just started to perform and already she was showing emotion. Feels like I took a million stones to the bone
Down came the rain pouring down from my eyes
High waters came and ragged up my shores
The lightening struck down on me by surprise,
Fell to my knees because I was just too weak
Red took over my cheeks as my voice began to squeak
Homewreck, it came wheeling onto my deck
Time to cleanup and leave, I'm not turning backI hit the road, hit the road, it's the end of the show
Curtains drawn, lights are on, and I'm on my way home
The skies are clear enough for me to fly
I set my wings and soar up high, to the sky, to the sky
Hit the road, I hit the road, from redemption I strive
Free and alive, I survived and completely revived
Gray clouds are gone and thunder ends it's roaring song
And so I hit the road, oh I hit the roadShe held a long note when she sung "road", which was the last of the chorus. As she done so, the crowd made a short standing ovation and begun cheering. If Aimée knew how to fake looking like she was into the song, she sure does a hell of a good job on it! After the chorus ended, she went began singing the second verse. Her was singing in a low-pitch voice as she sung the second verse. Gone with the wind and a swim from the past A vow never to be broken that I'm not turning back I reach the shores and I'm back on my two feet My destiny is around the corner not too far from me Forgive but can't forget, my heart's filled with much regret His heart's in debt, and to love is more than a triple threat My mind is open, yet my heart is still remaining closed Until I finish the construction on the road, Until then As the second verse ended, she quickly began singing the chorus once again in a high-pitch tone. Instead, this time, she was holding much longer notes than she had done previously when she sung the chorus for the first time. This is the moment where Aimée really began to shine. so far, not once did she slip up. Not missing any notes or anything. She was one of those performers who didn't need to have any choreography in order to keep the crowd thrilled. Her voice made up for all of that. I hit the road, hit the road, it's the end of the show
Curtains drawn, lights are on, and I'm on my way home
The skies are clear enough for me to fly
I set my wings and soar up high, to the sky, to the sky
Hit the road, I hit the road, from redemption I strive
Free and alive, I survived and completely revived
Gray clouds are gone and thunder ends it's roaring song
And so I hit the road, oh I hit the road
I hit the road, hit the road, it's the end of the show
Curtains drawn, lights are on, and I'm on my way home
The skies are clear enough for me to fly
I set my wings and soar up high, to the sky, to the sky
Hit the road, I hit the road, from redemption I strive
Free and alive, I survived and completely revived
Gray clouds are gone and thunder ends it's roaring song
And so I hit the road, oh I hit the roadWhen she sung "to the sky", she slowly raised her hands up in the air. After that, when she was wrapping up the chorus once again, she held a long note. Just as she had done previously. After that, she allowed her stage band to play their instruments without her singing for a while. Violins, drums, basses, trumpets, and more were playing. It was like a live musical Broadway show. As they played the instruments, Aimée was shifting from side to side, dangling her arms a little bit. My heart's been seperated due to blinding love
Love took over my soul, my body, and mind
Can take you on a journey so unforgettable
Yet it can turn out to be something regrettable
Like an ocean, the direction is never the same
Like the sky, the colors will always change
Like the weather, it goes from sunshine to rain
The cycle goes around and around again
I hit the road, hit the road, it's the end of the show
Curtains drawn, lights are on, and I'm on my way home
The skies are clear enough for me to fly
I set my wings and soar up high, to the sky, to the sky
Hit the road, I hit the road, from redemption I strive
Free and alive, I survived and completely revived
Gray clouds are gone and thunder ends it's roaring song
And so I hit the road, oh I hit the roadShe quickly began singing another song off of her debut album that's set to be released in 2013. The stage band began playing the notes to the song and of coarse, Aimée sang on with emotion, as if her emotions were taking over. The mixture of the sounds of all the instruments blended in to something great. Everyone who was in the audience were either dancing a little with their loved ones, or were just moving their shoulders up and down as she sung; most singing along with her. Bow to my soul, I took a bow to my soul
Took a bow and indeed it left a hole
I took a bow to my soul, a bow to my soul
And I'm falling here on my own
I'm trying but somehow my love keep on dying
My shallow sadness have left it's trail
Took a bow and I'm stuck here crying
The anchor dropped and my ship won't sail
Out of control flames resulted in my scar
Left an imprint that's as big as a star
An impact so great that had hit me way too hard
Yet alerted me to keep my coasts on guard
I pray that the memories can fade away
I pray that I keep it at bay and let it decay
I say that it could never end up this way again
But it changed when I felt something strike through
I took bow to my soul, a bow to my soul
Took a bow and indeed it left a hole
I took a bow to my soul, a bow to my soul
And I'm falling here on my own
I'm trying but somehow my love keep on dying
My shallow sadness have left it's trail
Took a bow and I'm stuck here crying
The anchor dropped and my ship won't sail
As she finished the chorus of the song, she allowed her stage band to play their instruments without her once again. Just like she have with the previous song. So far, the audience had made several standing ovations, and it was only the second song that Aimée had performed so far. So far, the audience seemed to adored Aimée the most, even though the other artists who had performed before her, made common mainstream performances - Having backup dancers and everything. It was just something about Aimée's voice that was so unique and different among others. All she needs for a stage is a microphone... and clothes of coarse.
Plagued with a soul disease that will make you believe
That the pain will soon ease, but my pain hasn't ceased
I pledged to let it drain out and, that it won't happen again
And that things would never bend, and that the journey will end
I'm trying but somehow my love keep on dying
My shallow sadness have left it's trail
Took a bow and I'm stuck here crying
The anchor dropped and my ship won't sail
I took bow to my soul, a bow to my soul
Took a bow and indeed it left a hole
I took a bow to my soul, a bow to my soul
And I'm falling here on my own
I'm trying but somehow my love keep on dying
My shallow sadness have left it's trail
Took a bow and I'm stuck here crying
The anchor dropped and my ship my sail
I took bow to my soul, a bow to my soul
Took a bow and indeed it left a hole
I took a bow to my soul, a bow to my soul
And I'm falling here on my own
I'm trying but somehow my love keep on dying
My shallow sadness have left it's trail
Took a bow and I'm stuck here crying
The anchor dropped and my ship won't sailShe ended the song with holding a long note once again. She then starting waving to the crowd who were making a standing ovation, applauding, calling out her name, whistling, and cheering her on. When Aimée performed live, she always felt alive and full of energy. It was like she was born to sing live, because she certainly good at it. "Hello London! Fank you all for coming out to see me tonight! Fank you very much! I'd like to thank my stage band who helped to make this stage feel like a musical event. So please applaud them!" The large audience began to applaud them and cheered. Aimée smiled and her stage band had huge smiles on their faces. They were greatly appreciative of Aimée's generosity and kindness. Soon after, she began to speak once more. "Before I leave now, I would like to play a preview of one of my songs off of my album. The album is out next year, hopefully by February or so. But anyways, I hope you guys can go out and get it. I've been working on it for so long now and I'm extremely impressed with what I've done on the record. I hope you all can go out and get it once it's out, if you've got the time too. Aimée took a few seconds to breathe because she was talking a bit fast. "Whew, sorry!" The people in the audience began to laugh and so did Aimée. She continued her speech shortly after. "These past few years have been pretty hard for me. I've been working independently basically all of my career and sometimes I felt like giving up. But, thank goodness I haven't because I wouldn't have been here with such an amazing crowd. But yes, I always give it my all and I'm happy to be here. Now, who's ready for me to sing the preview?" Once again, the people began to cheer in anticipation and the stage band began playing the notes to the song 'Fire'. It was a much different song than Aimée's usual love songs. She ain't steal nothing but a liar
Whoa! Let it reign down down down fire
I won't even try to fight her
I'm gon' let her burn burn burn by the fire
If that's what she desires
Then someone throw me the lighter
Whoa! I won't even fight her
Just will leave her to burn by the fire
She stole your mind and said 'he's mine'
Long story short, I don't even mind
Captured your thoughts, how so cheapily bought
Can't complain, you proved you're not the one I sought
Visions change, and so do people do too
I thought I saw right through you
Now my eyes are open, I won't even groan and
I'll just move on along, oh I go on alongAfter she finished performing the preview of the song, she waved at the crowd and said her last goodbyes. Her stage band, including herself, all bowed to the audience before leaving. The audience were applauding them non-stop, and even after Aimée and her stage band left the stage, they were still applauding. Aimée knew just how to leave the crowd entertained without using choreography. She proves that all you need is a voice and a mic, and you can own the stage!
