I think Ella would like this a whole bunch...

[@auggie4648]

I slowed this down and holy shit the singer was on key and on time exactly with the guitar. So incredibly skilled both of them

[@Pianopianoplay]

[@sequoyah59]

The piano player can sing as well or better then she plays. An incredible talent. I wonder what happened to her?

[@almoni33]

singer women = 2 but orchestra + 8 from ten point

[@salvadordoriancordobacordo7910]

No hubo quien les dijera que el ritmo tropical no va en absoluto con el swing de esta pieza ?, lastima mis oidos.

[@fankitonkizonki]

vocal is terrible but music is excellent

[@edifyguy]

Not terrible....she's imitating American singers in the style, not perfectly, but passably. As an American who is a connoisseur of the Great American Songbook, I can say that she did this song well enough to be enjoyable. What other purpose is there in music like this?

[@scottski51]

Nah. She gets a 5+ ... for effort, on pitch, good swing rhythm, and smile !! Hard for a higher-pitched female voice to do this tune justice, imho. Shall we try singing a Slovakian tune well ????? Yeah. No.

[@fankitonkizonki]

​@@charlesnullens dude, relax! i don't care her nationality. is her accent bad? yes. is lyrics sound weird? yes. so what? this is my opinion.

[@vitothepizzaguy7475]

Not to be racist... But if you're not a black woman you can't sing this..... Well if you're not a talented black woman.... Well actually only Ella Fitzgerald can sing this sorry

[@astridxthescandals]

I agree this was at that time out of my vocal range. Written for a male voice, in the first place, and I was too young. I on the other hand strongly disagree - whatever the color of someone`s skin... Oh and not to mention, I had one take to record this. And no monitoring system whatsoever. As a singer and a musician, I cannot sing properly if I can/t hear myself. Hights should be sung with ease, open throat and a feeling of freedom...you cannot go for that feeling if you must scream all the time...

[@flameousart]

So you mean no one can sing these song unless you are a black woman or Maja Keuc? 😆😅🤣🎤🎤🎤🎶🎶🎶

[@Redlamoroso]

lol... look at gaga's version before saying things like this :)))

[@zevnikov]

@@astridxthescandals saj si imela dober monitoring. Vem, ker ti ga je naštimal CD. Sicer pa upam, da si OK.

[@astridxthescandals]

@@zevnikov res res ne ;) nic se nisem slisala
