Nikki Yanofsky - Don't Know Why (RAWsession)

Music video by Nikki Yanofsky performing Don't Know Why. (C) 2010 Decca Label Group

[@lillyfredrick1]

I'm glad she's into jazz, not pop like every other young person in this modern world. It gets depressing, and she's such a breath of fresh air.

[@comet1996]

Nora would be proud. Beautiful indeed.

[@IspongeI]

I love this

[@plafkinfarms]

I am happy to see such a young person fulfill their dreams; if at the end of your life, you look back and regret all of things that you did not try, and perhaps worst of all, regret the path that you took to make a living--this is sad; perhaps we can be happy for Nikki Yanofsky because she represents what we all would have liked to become--free and happy with what we were doing.

[@NICKANGEL867]

whoever came up with the idea for her to cover a Norah Jone track, tons of kudos to you!! that was the best idea, especially for 'i don't know why'

[@gomezandalice]

If this is the future of music..... it's awesome....and I will need to find a way to live longer....

[@drnrqsldch]

wait to see when she turns into meaningless pop xD

[@scatmando]

I'm a fan , what a cracking voice..................... Go Girl.

[@zweInf]

When I first heard of this girl, I immediately thought of Norah Jones.. nice that she covered one of her songs! Though I'll always be a big fan of the original, this girl has an incredible voice! Especially since she's so young.. vraiment incroyable :)

[@Anoush23]

this is not jazz!this is pop!its still nice!

[@des7ima]

Nikki, i will live the rest of my days listening to you..brilliant

[@darkrevel]

Incredible. I don't know why she isn't more famous.

[@rondoweiss]

The next Ella has arrived .This young genius will be a legend.

[@DaniloMarrone]

Looks like Jesse Harris himself is on guitar on another amazing rendition of this classic song of his. I also saw that he was one of the composers of "Bienvenu dans Ma Vie." Brilliant!

[@muhammadasraf9420]

she's goooooddd ! im a new fan.. every songs she sings... blows my mind

[@janiekhanson-brown9999]

I first heard Phoebe Snow sing this in the 70's when I was in my 20's. You blessed me back a few years. lovely voice. I will buy ur music in a heart beat...:)))))

[@bman342a]

This song was written in 1999 by Jesse Harris. So you are probably thinking of something else by Phoebe. Would have loved to hear her rendition of this, unfortunately that will never happen--at least in these parts.

[@WmusiclifeforceV1]

16 years??? ... wow , a strong but also a sweet voice ..... awesome, really awesome lady

[@TedHey]

Still listening

[@jasongriffith7815]

Before I heard this I thought she reminded me of Norah Jones. Nikki's got IT. Shes got her own. We are going 2 c alot of her, I just hope she dosnt fall victim 2 the industry like so many other talented people do. And untalented.

[@DarkNightKnigth]

Why is she not big yet?!? With that talent i really don't know why.

[@123benny4]

She's on her way...might as well enjoy her now as she is before they 'American music industry' gets their hands on her.

[@JosephACampbellJr]

she has her own way of doing things,and that's completely ok with me.Keep killin it lil lady!

[@realbath]

Toujours un vif plaisir d'écouter Nikki chanter.

[@CatsJams]

If only she were only a bit older and I much younger! Gosh, what a voice!

[@laurece4baba]

Gorgeous! Thanks for your talent and light!

[@gb0795]

Sem palavras.muito bom Nikki.Canta muiiito

[@EboniesAndIvories]

I'm pretty sleep deprived right now, but what I'm about to write is 100% sincere: This is real music. Music that can conjure raw emotion, lift you up, and carry you to a place that exists in it's own unique way inside of each and every listener. Nikki Yanofsky's voice does just that. She's a true artist, through and through. Amazing. Was that cheesy? Fuck it, I don't care, it's true.

[@xtionj]

@sesonel and her gifted voice won't go to waste.

[@022553499]

I have no word to tell you but Wow .. Im from Israel, just know this is the best cover i have ever heard to this song.. wish you luck!! (:

[@simonefiletti78]

With tears... very good!

[@stephaniewright333]

[@user-hi9xl5ow5x]

니키언니.. ㅜㅜ 목소리 진짜 예술...ㅜㅜㅜ

[@21Mahsa12]

Her voice can so much more then only jazz. ;)

[@opay78]

pure sound

[@TGTSTS]

It's nice there are young, up-and-coming singers who have actual skill!! Wonderful!

[@MrMidona]

stop the hate...

[@TGTSTS]

MrMidona What hate? What are you talking about?

[@TGTSTS]

***** I'm not putting anyone down. However, there are PLENTY of 'artists' out there who are getting by because of A) their looks, and B) autotune. That's not hate or putting anyone down. That's fact.

[@cadillac1652]

god bless you nikki your the best

[@FranciMarey]

Me enamoré... jajaja canta demasiado bien y es muy linda también ¡ Felicidades !

[@nohemiavendano260]

wow que hermosa voz, y la canción

[@antony2111]

I was just in the car listening to the radio.. They played Airmail Special, and I loved it! When the song was over, she said your name, and the whole way home I was repeating "Yanofsky, Yanofsky Yanofsky" So I heard it again a few minutes ago., and no doubt its really good! I hope u go in that direction! I didnt really like the Norah Jones cover though.. Its crazy that u nailed Ella's song!!

[@humbertodiazthebest]

NIkki is awesome :D

[@ascrrc]

Wonderful, lighter than Norah. Great feeling.

[@voyagerestre7598]

increìble voz.! bièn,.!!

[@JazzBoy73]

Dude you sound badass

[@ilovicecream7]

OMG so good

[@simonsantosm.3622]

Uma linda voz, Parabens..

[@grizabellazacarias8668]

ME ENCANTAS!!!!

[@8591mc]

è bellissima..

[@Mariajo1994]

Amazing :)

[@orpheos9]

Im digging more young people singing this kind of music and shes got a great voice, BUT this is nothing even close to the original. the original has this amazing ethereal, emotional, everything-is-in-the-silences feel to it.

[@user-xp1gt3ov8k]

I love it T___T

[@Manoelsilva-jk2ww]

Bela voz

[@petiteAndrea]

Wah ... Canada's got talent. =) Plus you speak French ! C'est parfait ça =p I love your voice, keep it up ! Hope you'll get very famous soon !

[@43ton]

Умничка!

[@Chamdani73]

[@danielmok3762]

Amen

[@elShowdeJosefa]

you re so good , i love norah jones.good choise i love you

[@Babaille39]

Formidable ! Viens en France donner des cours de chant à Carla...(madame la présidente !)

[@adityalegawa]

Ini toh yang sering dikatakan oleh ahmad dhani. it's so beautiful voice i think she is POP JAZZ, correct me if i'm wrong?

[@iagopc7]

muito linda,,,xD

[@rifkiSUKAMOTO]

please perform in JAVA JAZZ FESTIVAL .... i hope peter gontha read this

[@CanadianBadAss999]

The original one as you put it led Nora Jones to 8 Grammy's so this is a good cover but it is what it is "A Cover"!

[@blure1000]

nice sound to put on while the car is flying in the highway

[@MedalionDS9]

Pretty sure I saw this uploaded before, wonder why the reup? It's not even in HD...

[@marlborobeb]

Sublim....!

[@shinobram3496]

so goerges ^_^

[@medal8]

Juste une remarque qui n'enlève rien à son talent : On peut chanter uniquement avec la gorge mais se servir du ventre fait varier le timbre de voix (colonne d'air)... Bravo princesse !

[@djziggurat]

@Khriztie87 If you look to the left, rihanna stole it all.

[@rjbeatable]

you know guys his own channel except from vevo?

[@misterblue81]

you're beautiful

[@edgardiaz8508]

Wow me gusta con Norah nones, pero Nikki es excelente

[@okbayhyab3319]

ya

[@obrsl]

@Yoodacris and all the spaces in between

[@norikaaoki216]

Miley cyrus? oh jesus... please do not even compare her to Nikki. Nikki yanofsky has the same quality as Norah Jones which i loved too, but she has just that slightly more edge to it I think! Both have amazing voice... :)

[@ds403]

is anyone friends with her? cause i wanna meet her
