So the musical tributes at the Rustic Goat carried on again Friday night. This time the folks at Shift 58 presented Aunyae Heart giving tribute to who is obviously one of her musical sheros. I’m telling you, based on how she knew every note and nuance of Keys’ catalog, that Aunyae spent her tween years locked in her room with a mini Casio keyboard playing and singing along to every note of “Songs in A Minor.” Honestly, in my opinion, Aunyae actually trumps Alicia Keys on the vocal chops tip_________ (inserted pause for the haters’ “girl please” and “you must be crazy”). But I must say that Aunyae needs to re-up on her stage presence. I mean Aunyae had the look (that yellow strapless dress was everything) and the sound on Friday, but she didn’t really connect with the crowd as a whole. In all fairness to Aunyae, she could have been giving a full-on Alicia Keys imitation – and if that’s the case she nailed the borderline boredom that Mrs. Swizz Beatz gives with her stage show. Now while I love the tribute shows, I must say that it’s steering local performers from standing on their own as original artists. The last four shows I’ve seen by STL talent have them resorted to cover acts.
