Chloe Lukasiak, Jess Godwin, Perfect Match of Voice and Dance
When I listen to Jess Godwin sing I have to admit it is the type of sounds I like to close my eyes to and just get lost in the soothing tones of her voice. But she ruined that for me. She put this beautiful 13 year old dancing sensation Chloe Lukasiak in her video. And now I cant close my eyes, Heck I cant even blink.
A few times I found myself actually holding my breath. It was just that beautiful. I don’t usually become a raving gushing fan (John Legend and Usher excluded) But I have been buying Jess Godwin’s music online for awhile now since I find it to be so soothing. Yes, I remembered not to play it in my car CD Player. Hard to drive with your eyes closed. And most definitely will never play Fool Me Once in my car again because each time I do I will see this magical young lady gliding across the floor to the song. Oh forgive me officer I was picturing a video in my head when I plowed over those tourist in the cross walk. Not going to work.
This video is the perfect mixture of voice and dance I feel and many ask why I feel this way. Its simple. They both perform from their hearts. Nothing is memorized and put out on a stage just to perform. Every movement from the keys on the piano to Chloe’s beautiful extensions come from the heart. Not a lot of performers can give that to you. Sure there are thousands of great performers out there but there are a handful that perform from the heart. And these two fit in that handful nicely. Oh and did I mention I don’t think there is any auto tune to this song. If there is its very little. You cant manufacture that kind of voice. Its God Given.
Yes, you can put other dancers out on a stage to dance to this song. They may even win a trophy in a competition for dancing to it. That is because they are being judged on technique and dance style. Not on the true meaning of what dance should represent. A dancers connection to what they are performing. Chloe Lukasiak connected to this song and she performed it to perfection. Jess Godwin can use a thousand more dancers to make her videos in the future but I truly do not believe she will ever use another dancer who connects to her message with their heart the way this young lady connected with her heart. Watching them together you can feel that they just get each other. They connect on an emotional level.
I don’t know about Jess Godwin’s past but from her singing I feel she has some deep pain inside of her that comes though her voice to find its escape. I know Chloe has pain from the abuse she suffered in front of a Nation of people to always be made to look like she was second best . She never was second best in anyone’s eyes other than Abby Lee Miller. And I hope since getting away from her Chloe realizes she is one in a million dancer. Anyone can learn a dance and go out and perform it from memory with the same faked facial expressions time over time. Chloe doesn’t have to fake it. She wears her heart on the outside and you see it. She makes you feel her pain and sorrow or her happiness and celebration. Chloe connects with the audience in the same way Jess does. They touch your heart.
I can honestly say I would pay to sit in an uncomfortable venue to watch these two put on a concert. It has to be really special to make me want to do that. And this my friends is special. Special beyond belief. Well don’t take my word for it. Watch it on you tube for yourself. If my link doesn’t work just go search Jess Godwin, Fool Me Once. You wont be sorry.
Jess has one of those pure voices that doesn’t sound like everyone else out there. When you hear her sing you don’t have to wait for the announcer to say which singer it is. You know within the first few words of any of her songs. She has a good heart and soul and I am so happy she reached out to this young lady who suffered years of being torn down on National TV to give her this chance to shine and show the world she is truly a great dancer.
Of course the trolls and haters are out there who are so blindly jealous they don’t understand there can be more than one star in this big world of ours but those are the people you have to pity the most because they are missing so much in their lives when they cant see right for always following wrong.
