[@baseball4159]

She's gorgeous. Her voice, gods, drown me in it.

[@SaraNiemietz]

Aw thank you!

[@JamesRDavenport]

The best thing about this great cover video, literally everyone is having a blast. She's singing her heart out with a smile, dancers kicking ass, both dancers and singer enjoy watching each other work. Even the dudes in the back with Brass stuffed in their lips have smiling eyes. No one's having a cow about hitting their spots. What a party. Thanks for sharing!

[@Loufi303]

At first I wasn't so sure about the acceleration after the intro, but the singing otherwise is impeccable, the phrasing (the slightest influence of Winehouse noticeable), the tonality - quite addictive. The performer has a lot of power, but beautifully controls it. Yeah, I love it.

[@jayma7430]

Me too. It caught me off gaurd, but PMJ never disappoints. :)

[@crimeslime5419]

Honestly, even though Hailey is my fave, Sara seems to have the best energy of all the singers on here. Feel free to disagree, it's just my opinion after all (:

[@bittersithis]

Sara has quickly become my favourite, I love pretty much all of her songs, and I have gone on to listen to her other music as well

[@mrdaym]

I know everything was incredible, composition, singing, playing, everything. But I did NOT expect the dancing, and it was also incredible. I'm starting to get tired of praising every. single. performance on this channel, but I must.

[@babsbylow6869]

This is a perfect example of why I love covers. They give me the opportunities to love songs I'd never done before because of the performances. I didn't like the Disco original. But this one is great. It allows the piece to shine now. Thank you PMJ.

[@skyzefawlun]

If anyone isn't already subscribed to Sara's personal YT channel, you need to go do that right now. She regularly puts up some fantastic songs, both originals and covers. The quality is absolutely top notch, and I don't think I need to tell anyone how good her voice is if they're watching this. Seriously, go find her. She's down in the comment section being super sweet and responding to people. She deserves every bit of support we can give her

[@emmanuelfernandes5610]

brilliant talent and brilliant soul, what an inspiring person she is

[@Yakhashe]

what a sick bass line.

[@SaraNiemietz]

RIGHT!? Jonathan is awesome.

[@woodstock21]

[@user-zn6ky7pi6u]

Another hit from Sara. Life is good.

[@ScottBradlee]

[@SaraNiemietz]

Thank you so much! I love Scott's arrangement on this!

[@Firecul]

I wonder if there is anything that they could also do with Snuffy. I think Sara and Snuffy's song are excellent.

[@BrassThunder]

Sara's Buttery voice, Wow as usual Bravo! Scott Bradlee's arrangements always surprise me in the directions they go...... PMJ is such a breath of fresh air........Real Singers & Real Musicians what more can you ask for?

[@SaraNiemietz]

Such a great group of people! Thanks for watching this.

[@raisincane42]

Band is "spot on", even changing the tempo during their performance. Great ballroom dancing, with Jose Valencia, observing Sara 3:00-3:50, very nice. Scott, your playing a "hot piano". No wonder your unable to stay on the ivory too long, during this number. I'm not one to be into jazz too much, although this masterpiece deserves a comment.

[@anuskasab]

It's interesting to hear a mix of latino music and jazz, smooth and not being forced. Sarah has a beautiful voice fitting perfectly. Good job.

[@thedefinitive6296]

Ok Sara's voice is among my favorites and near the top. I can't even put my finger on what it is about her voice, but it's just outstanding and she certainly has command of it. Great take on a classic song. Jose and Liora were also a very a pleasant surprise. Their moves were so sharp and crisp and the choreography was so much fun

[@BADANCER2000]

Thank you for your lovely compliment. I had a great time choreographing to this song.

[@thedefinitive6296]

It looked like it. It's a joy to see people enjoying what they do and do it well :)

[@SaraNiemietz]

Thank you so much! YES - I love them!!!!

I have never seen someone put so much emotion and effort in the her or his singing performance like Sara. She truly is an awesome woman :D

[@PlanetYokoshima]

So delightful! I love how that dancer was so amazed by her.

[@Jessie_Helms]

Gotta love it when your home page is flooded with channels you’ve never watched and topics you’ve never been interested in, or videos you’ve already seen, and this is like the 50th video that shows you. It’s like the more “advanced” the algorithm gets the worse it is.

[@ItsTheRealMusicMan]

I honestly love this woman. She is so unbelievably talented. Another phenomenal cover.

[@ashleyptxfan3604]

[@chrissyofoldstones3210]

THANK you!!!

[@Agapie22]

This song needs to be in a Tarantino film

[@davidzafrir9904]

didn't look for a second at it. One hearing was enough to understand how much of a great singer she is. also, the stride of the pianist is out of this world. to hit with that accuracy is basically divine. I really loved the sax.

[@sam-ih6cg]

What a fantastic voice!!!

[@SaraNiemietz]

Awwww thank you! Yes - Scott sure knows how to arrange a song.

[@andrewstewart8704]

Tnx PMJ! I will be at the party! Your audience is growing fast, since its not the cosy Paradiso anymore but the big Heineken Music Hall (double price for tickets too :(. And I wonder why it's only seated placement.....how could we swing around on your music with all those seats around..!!?

[@azusashinoh6654]

a song that throughout all the generation . Feels good that it manage to 'survive' from the rotten times itself. Feels like i stop my breath for a whole minutes with this tempo.

[@soliloquy6036]

Sara rocks everything every time. ... she is sensational !!!

[@SaraNiemietz]

Awwwwww thank you!

[@RPRosen-ki2fk]

... and another thing. Let's talk dancing. Fantastic, how you keep expanding the styles. Though they don't have the percussive rhythm of tap ( absolutely love the Sole Sisters & Alex) ... they still add to the performance ... like a side dish, compliments the main course. Absolutely LOVED the Latin ... just glad they didn't go for a magic carpet ride at 2:42

[@ingeniousclown]

I saw that carpet shift. Scared me for a second

[@crazyuncleduke8012]

LOL!...me too

[@BADANCER2000]

Glad you enjoy the Latin Dance. Yeah Your right the rug did moved and I'm glad we did not go on a magic carpet ride🙈🙈

[@BADANCER2000]

+ingeniousclown Gaming Trust me it scare me to🙈

[@thisbeautifulmusic]

Magic carpet ride Lol love how you phrased that 😂👌

[@jeremypreece870]

Here's a song I think that I have heard a million times before, but I was surprised to hear it sound so fresh. By far my favourite version of the song and I love that flute solo.

[@SteveMeidaKing]

Sara's one of my favorite PMJ singers, but what really sells this one are her expressions and movements.

[@sorban93]

Sara is da QUEEN!!

[@SaraNiemietz]

Awwwww shoot. Thanks! ;)

[@ace.of.space.]

my favorite disco in a new light, I rather like it! it maintains the same power and charisma yet sounds quite different.

[@CediBeMe]

I was wondering what the percussionist was doing back there, and then out came the dancers! My god, so much fun. Thank you all for making my morning.

[@dimasmudi3389]

Her voice like a roller coaster. Amazing

[@jjfox03]

Holy crap! That girl has PIPES! She blew that away! Definitely my favorite voice I've ever seen on this channel,

[@SaraNiemietz]

Awww thank you so much for "survivin'" with us! We had a great time making this one!

[@Ciclopea2]

If you're gonna have dancers, watch out for those rugs lol, other than that awesome, love Sara.

[@ashleyptxfan3604]

I was nervous watching them lol. They could've moved the rug.

[@MoiraRussell]

The rug is there to deaden the ambient sound so it doesn't echo.

[@Ciclopea2]

I'm sure, but it was kind of a joke about the dancers safety.

[@BADANCER2000]

+Ciclopea2 Thank You For Your Concern

[@Ciclopea2]

You're very welcome, you're such a pro, i was freakin out about the rug moving when you danced on it lol but you guys rocked it!

[@kenkellam3691]

The music is great on its own. What makes the video work is Sara's facial expressions and gestures.

[@3helbs]

Gave me some serious chills! Sara is such a fantastic singer!

[@Curiosity96]

My favorite PMJ princess with the silk voice is back.You never disappoint,all your covers are a hit.I love the style and the dancers,never thought it could work.

[@lucarianscout]

Oh that is some good soul right there. That was a great job from Mrs. Niemietz. I honestly didn't know the bass could be played that fast. That's a life goal, in my opinion. Well done.

[@SaraNiemietz]

Thank you! Yes - go bass, go!

[@angelialvares]

just brilliant.....jazzed it up good and with such heartfelt emotion. Bravo to Sara Niemietz and yes she's breathtakingly incredible!

[@Thowe0815]

That's expressiveness in phenomenal form: music, voice, movement, gestures and facial expressions. This song is the first time absolutely credible to me.

[@PhantomNJ]

This one took a second listen for me. Something about the arrangement didn't come across right listening on my phone. With quality headphones, all the nuances came through. Sara's voice shone through regardless!

[@zeynepaltunyay2009]

At first I was afraid, I was petrified Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side But then I spent so many nights thinking how you did me wrong And I grew strong And I learned how to get along And so you're back From outer space I just walked in to find you here with that sad look upon your face I should have changed that stupid lock, I should have made you leave your key If I'd known for just one second you'd be back to bother me Go on now, go, walk out the door Just turn around now 'Cause you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried to hurt me with goodbye Do you think I'd crumble Did you think I'd lay down and die? Oh no, not I, I will survive Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive I've got all my life to live And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive I will survive, hey, hey It took all the strength I had not to fall apart Kept trying hard to mend the pieces of my broken heart And I spent oh-so many nights just feeling sorry for myself I used to cry But now I hold my head up high and you see me Somebody new I'm not that chained-up little person and still in love with you And so you felt like dropping in and just expect me to be free Well, now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's loving me Go on now, go, walk out the door Just turn around now 'Cause you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye Do you think I'd crumble Did you think I'd lay down and die? Oh no, not I, I will survive Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive I've got all my life to live And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive I will survive Oh Go on now, go, walk out the door Just turn around now 'Cause you're not welcome anymore Weren't you the one who tried to break me with goodbye Do you think I'd crumble Did you think I'd lay down and die? Oh no, not I, I will survive Oh, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll stay alive I've got all my life to live And I've got all my love to give and I'll survive I will survive I will survive

This cover suits the singer and the ensemble all amazing! :D I just love when postmodernjukebox´s productions comes together and just WORKS! DAMN! The ending was pure james bond! Gave me the fu"&ing chills all the way down! THIS better be on the newly released greatest hits album postmodernjukebox just realeased! Holy moly! First its a wellknown feeling with the intro, then very uptempo jazzyfeels and right before the absolute magic happens, the bit cheesy singer moment happens - and she freeking releases an angel clear highpitch voice ! Goosebumps and mindblown :O

[@wellitsureisntdale1860]

Also this has to be the best version of this song I've ever heard.

[@arduh]

she's really perfect

[@sillydaisy11017]

This is so wonderful and surprising! Have watched this numerous times and every single time I try to guess where the music will go - and I always end up pleasantly surprised when it takes a completely different route from where I thought it would go. It's a good sign, to me, when every replay feels as exciting as the first time ;) I love it when a piece becomes everything I never knew I wanted

[@aptwalker2009]

Stunning! Having lived through the disco era and being so sick of hearing that song, I have to say that this is the only version I've ever heard that makes me want to watch again and again :) Great job, all of you!
