There have been quite a number of female singers/musicians who've performed live barefooted. Here's a list of some: Sandie Shaw (one of the first to do it!) Janis Joplin (at Woodstock!) Linda Rondstadt (early in her career) Kate Bush Patti Smith (she often strips her shoes and socks off while singing "Dancing Barefoot!") Deana Carter Joss Stone Elizabeth Glennie (a classical percussionist) Bjork Sade Diana Ross (during her free Central Park concert) Shakira the Go Go's (at least one of them) If any of you know of others, please say so!

I remember reading somewhere, may well have been here, that Cyndi Lauper would perform barefooted.

LOL Footman9, I've never really seen earthquake used as a verb before, but that's as fitting a choice of wording as I could possibly imagine.

It's been a long time since I've been to one of her concerts, but I remember Amy Grant would perform in her bare feet during the late 80s.

I would love to have gone to a Brittney or Shakira, Kelly Clarkson or Shania. To me these women have absolutley beautiful feet.

Torie Amos and Dolly Parton have both performed live barefooted? I didn't know that!
Posted by wiggler (Member # 2240) on :
Tori has been photographed a billion times in barefeet for magazines and CD portraits,. My best friend is a die hard Tori fan and has been to dozens of concerts and she says Tori does occasionally perform in bare feet, also does not wear underwear and sometimes at the piano, if you're close enough, you can see her lips.

Lindsay Lohan when she was onstage Barefoot performing that song at the end of the freaky friday movie...Does that count?

Kylie Minogue - An amazing proportion of her clips are her barefoot. The best? "Breathe", "Slow", and some other one when she's on a spinning bed. Oh, hey, "Locomotion" too.
Sheryl Crowe - "Strong enough to be my man", "If it makes you happy" and the most stunning of all "Follow the sun".
Deanna Carter - I know very little about her, but i've seen a few clips, and many stage shots, and the woman just does not wear shoes.
Faith Hill - "I can feel you breathe".
Joss Stone - A newie - and a goodie.
Gwen Stefani - One clip. Pretty old now. Its a ballad. Um, is it called "Dont stop"? Or, is that a Stones song?

Belinda Carlisle has been know to kick off her spikes after a few songs and strut about barefoot. Posted by dougiezerts (Member # 6829) on :
Here's a couple more live barefooters I forgot about: kd lang Meg White, the White Stripes drummer. The inner gatefold of the vinyl edition of ELEPHANT has a great close-up of her feet!
Posted by dougiezerts (Member # 6829) on :
Dolly Parton does NOT perform live barefooted. I asked that question to her official wet site and was told that she prefers high heeled shoes because she's self-concious about her small size--5'.

Not only does she prefer high heels, but 5" high heels at that! Those were always her favorites.

The drummer from the White Stripes is often bare foot, but she doesnt appeal to me at all. No lips! She doesnt seem to have nice feet either. Too "harsh".
Those "S-Club7" girls were often bare foot.

That's a great picture, thanks for sharing that! I'm becoming a bigger fan of Sheryl Crow by the second! Posted by canIsmellYourFeet (Member # 11183) on :
I was going to say Kelly Clarkson, but someone beat me to it.
I've always wanted to see Bjork's and Jane Child's feet...

I've seen a few photos of Ashlee Simpson performing barefoot...nothing of high quality but she was barefoot none the less.

omg, Delta Goodrem ALWAYS plays the piano onstage barefooted; I've read in several magazines that she can't play the piano unless she's barefooted, as she can't feel the pedals on a piano if she's wearing shoes.
I so wish I was her personal piano her feet are like they belong to a goddess!
Posted by Craigy boy (Member # 3340) on :
Yes, you are right, Delta is a barefoot gal too! Many glamour shots of her are in "classy" dresses, almost like a prom dress or some other chiffon gear, and her lovely, perfectly painted bare toes. Attached to some lovely shaped young feet.
Also, Danni Minogue! Her latest clip, on a yacht, is totally bare foot.

I've never seen Dolly Parton's feet. Anyone out there have pic they would share with the group?

I'd love to see a quality shot of Dolly's tootsies myself if anybody's got one. Despite her overwhelming fame in the country music scene during the 1970s & 1980s, she's really been one of the more elusive gals out there with regards to good & revealing foot pics. I can only presume that the reason why is because throughout her career the cameras were far more interested in her assets above the waist rather than those below.

I wonder if all these decades wearing those 5" high heels have made her petite size 5's a little tender looking? Still, I's love a peak at those toes in some strappy high heel sandals.

Glad to see my post is still active! Ms Midler is barefooted a couple times in her early 80's live video. In one, she sings a torch song. In the other, she's doing her mermaid routine, and she rips her feet out of her "fins." This is particularly nice because you get to see the soles of her feet.
