Joyce DiDonato: Embraceable you

Joyce DiDonato singing Gershwin's "Embraceable you" from "Girl Crazy" at New Year's Eve in Baden-Baden in 2009
I know this already is on yt, but I thought a version in slightly better quality would be nice. I love this concert, especially because of the solemn atmosphere on stage :) Plus I adore her dress!

That ending “come to mama DO, my sweet embraceable YOU” is Just vocally Stunning. I envy how she gets her voice up there so seemingly effortless.

Joyce is a diva can sing anything fabulously!

She is a charmer. Masterful job on the Gershwin piece.

Oh, that's the fatal mark that seal'd it - I fell definitely in love with you, Joyce!

[@SionnachPeg]

Gershwin was thinking of Joyce when he composed this!

[@christiaandhooghe]

Is this dress Gaultier???? So smashing. Loving the song...she is a GEM. :)

[@MegaSupergirl13]

Embrace me, my sweet embraceable you Embrace me, you irreplaceable you Just one look at you my heart grew tipsy in me You and you alone bring out the gypsy in me I love all the many charms about you Above all I want my arms about Don't be a naughty baby, Come to papa come to papa do My sweet embraceable yo

[@LeipzigC1]

I don't know, Joyce....you are straying afield here

[@stevehinnenkamp5625]

She is lovely but somehow the wit, yes wit, of the lyric is missing. This Gershwin is not a torch song bit an 'invitation.'

Very few opera singers can sing popular songs in the right style and the right voice. Unfortunately, Joyce Di Donato is not one of the few. I much prefer this song performed by the likes of Ella Fitzgerald, Helen O'Connell, Judy Garland, Judy Collins, and Frank Sinatra. Joyce should stick to opera, in which she excels.
