Maylee Todd is strikingly beautiful, and what is more unfair is that this fact is not, in fact, her redeeming quality. It does however, leave you more enamoured when she begins to sing. But what's even more delightful is that she is a musical force, and on that Sunday afternoon, she was accompanied by a fleet of promising dancers as the final act for Live in Bellwoods. The choreographed dancers glided across an open field with ribbons, dressed in the most obscenely tight and fluorescent getups you can imagine, she picked away at her harp and sang away.

  Stripped down from her original arrangements of a Big Band-quality sound, reminiscent of fifties jazz, and Doo-Wop, she performs acoustically with an affection for space travel, funk and safari jams. The result is a gorgeous medley of genres and styles. She's got a heavenly vocal ability that sounds like a lullaby, combined with an eternal smile that she wears. She seems so effortlessly joyful when performing, taking breaks to giggle at the aliens running circles around her. She ends quite appropriately emerging with a toy gun, maintaining earthly peace with the demise of her unfortunate space-aerobic dancers.
