Sophie Ellis-Bextor - "Nobody Does It Better"

[@brianmgrim]

Ed Harcourt he deserves great credit here as well. His exuberant interpretation and impeccable timing really helped Sophie to shine here. Very well done!

[@nutranet]

Sophie EB - one of the most underrated talents around

[@dankrebs4764]

not underrated.

[@richardcurrie4038]

Think you need to look up what underrated means mate.

[@arthurenzo3075]

Underrated only from the mass. The mass never recognize class.

[@Major7605]

You're the best, Sophie. I just love your voice. You definetely deserve to sing the title of a future James Bond film. A big hug for a talented singer.

[@dojo2157]

Sophie Ellis-Bextor quite simply one of the most enchanting beings in existence.

[@deborahwilkinson8411]

Isn’t Sophie Ellis-bextor such a lovely mother of 5 boys, looks so wonderful & has the best singing voice. ❤️❤️❤️

[@moviemagic1939]

Nobody Does It Better than Sophie Ellis Bextor! Full stop! She is a GODESS!

[@stationofdreams8242]

Sophie has a style all her own and this is really sweet.

[@Alfredul03]

Oh Gosh, she is so melodious, so enveloping and so sophisticated. The truth is I don't understand how there are people who give fingers down to this performance done by her here live. She is great and my ears love her voice! 😍📱🎧🎶🎶🎶💯👍🏻😉

[@onechopbuddy3849]

I absolutely adore Sophie’s voice

[@Yogurt1701]

Credit where credits due, Ellis-Bextor absolutely nails this! Pure talent! Anyone who can sing as well as this, live, at the drop of a hat, gets a thumbs up from me anytime! Plus her mum is still gorgeous! 🙂

[@darenwright1071]

Top stuff , this lady is brilliant, great piano too.

[@paully1969]

Perhaps the greatest version xxx

[@ronnieneo]

Not fair to keep comparing this to the original, she is singing this live, along with a single electric piano in a cramped small room. Pretty amazing considering.

[@Burns1993Joe]

Mr Blue Sky you're an ELO fan so everything you say is automatically correct 😃👍🏼

[@arccosinusopinion2323]

Mr Blue Sky And still she does it many times better than the original singer did

[@tobyjp]

I love the original, but the Bextor belted it out of the (literal) park - I thought a studio performance would be clear and better, but go check out her in the park, Phenomenal.

[@danoneillemail]

It's superb.

[@damienx0x]

Compare it to Carly's live performance. The pianist didn't learn it properly either.

[@drubiyantoro]

Yes, nobody does it better than Sophie Ellis-Bextor

[@MatthewRSimpson]

...except the Carly Simon original. SEB is grea though.

[@despaul]

Exactly...

[@pauljay5478]

Well, Carly Simon does and also Radiohead.

[@dogzlipstick]

MY GOD, had a rough day, a funeral, bloody made an old sailor ball his eyes out like a good 'un, thank you absolutely beautifull🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@strawberry1025]

That's so lovely..

[@mauriceryton]

That was amazing, what a voice.

[@SuperMarkbrewer]

Great voice pure quality

[@nicholasdickens2801]

She just keeps getting better and better as an artist :)

[@CastellanSpandex]

Brilliant! About time somebody covered this. Nice one, Soph. Baby you're the best! Needs an orchestra for the end. 💖

[@neiljameson2145]

What a perfect voice x

[@aurora_-]

Awe she is darling I know she could tear into this song too but she's blushing shy - such a beautiful voice!

[@mixtureofthingsmixtureofth2311]

One of the greatest tracks

[@herygarcia8664]

Magically beautiful...and yes....nobody does it better than sophie!! You are the best!!

[@gomongio]

Sweetness, you're the best indeed. So full of talent!

[@tonymgc82]

I'll never be able to listen to this song without thinking of Alan Partridge acting out the opening scene and credits of The Spy who loved me

[@kristinerivera6637]

Beautiful cover!!! 🔥

[@garylq]

The original Carly Simon vocal will never be bettered. However I thoroughly enjoyed Sophie's gorgeous interpretation, easily the best cover of this song I've ever heard.

[@31011962singapore]

This is the best cover of any song ever!

[@martinb.770]

she comes pretty close to the known studio recording. Though this song doesnt need the tremolo in the voice, but the punch Carly Simon put in it, IMHO. Anyway, this is a version I'd put on my playlist.

[@31011962singapore]

My favourite cover of all time sung by my favourite female singer of all time.

[@moi7748]

I love this song, and sung by Sophie it's just magic 😍

[@cullyx2913]

Fantastic interpretation

[@mattymccourt3]

❤, since hearing her live last year on Ken Bruce show, become a big fan

[@DukeJon1969]

Great vocal talent

[@zastorlexa9800]

I wish SEB would do more songs like this as opposed to the disco stuff she usually does. She's obviously got the voice for it. Excellent video. Edit: Just listened to SEB's 'Wanderlast' album. Excellent. Not the disco fest I was expecting. Really enjoyed it.

[@lukaszpiotrswiatek]

I think Her "Wanderlust" album and large part of "Familia" album should be great for You. Enjoy!

[@zastorlexa9800]

@@lukaszpiotrswiatek Thank you. I will give it a go. 🙂

[@zastorlexa9800]

@@lukaszpiotrswiatek Just listened to that album for the first. Really liked it. Which is rare for me on a first hearing. Thank you very much for your recommendation. I may edit my original post if I can. 🙂

Top drawer Sophie, this is gold.❤❤❤

[@exaisle]

This is a great version of what is a classic James Bond theme. Miss Ellis-Bextor isn't just a pretty face...she has the pipes to match...and what's more, they're well tune!

[@benlotus2703]

sublime. 10/10

[@chris2302]

This is quite stunning

[@nevillepass]

love the song! luv the singer! luv the keyboard player! er, anyway! ta!!! i enjoy!!!!ya!!

[@aesthetikate]

Sophie Ellis-Bextor covers a lot of people in performances mainly, and tries to express that it's a tribute to those originals that she grew up with. And to those who shaped her into the artist she's become, like Carly Simon... Just because an artist covers someone they admire, doesn't mean they're trying to compete. Now, if she were trying to re-release her cover as her own single? How about, it sounds good for a cover... let's take it for what it is, and not mark it up or down with all of these "original" comments. It makes a lot of people sound like purists, and I'm not sure why they would come around to comment if they didn't understand that. It's not better, it's not trying to be. It just sounds good.

[@CurrieNerd]

+aesthetik Although.. if she did an LP of covers, I'd buy it. Susanna Hoffs has done it. Not in a shoddy way either.

[@flycornwall]

Awesome cover 👏🏻👏🏻

[@stofferrussell]

Magnificent voice and makes this song her own. Nothing like modern singers whose trend seems to be not to pronounce the endings of the words ;)

[@colinrgage]

Best Bond theme ever

[@andrewkeen7828]

Outstanding SEB

[@billmorrison4746]

Stunning.......well sung Sophie xx

[@chrismaplethorpe6781]

Carly Simon's version to me is still the best. But give Sophie credit she does do an excellent version

[@Alfredul03]

In addition, she should be the voice of the soundtrack of the next James Bond movie, definitely! 👌🏻💯🙏🏻

[@Norvik_-ug3ge]

If the next James Bond movie doesn't use Sophie Ellis-Bextor for its main title theme, it will be a crime against music and Britishness.

[@robhingston]

I wish Sophie covered more songs ..

[@creynolds094]

Love this Ellis-Bextor performance. Way better than the performance she did of this song at the concert held outside Buckingham Palace following the closing ceremony of Beijing 2008.

[@mikehurn3229]

Fantastic

[@TechyMantis]

she should release this

[@bakkis61]

There is something extra about Sophie...I want to give her a bear-hug :-)

Brilliant, as one can expect for so an artist as she is. I still prefer Carly Simon version, maybe because I heard it before. However, kudos to you Sophie.

That's some training, right there. Fair play SEB!

[@NisseOhlsen]

Marvin Hamlisch wrote this tune (not David Arnold). Just to avoid any false assumptions.

[@arwahsapi]

Why d'you have to be so good, Sophie?

[@martinb.770]

I am curious what a cover of "For your eyes only" would sound like with her voice - this one was promising.

[@TechyMantis]

how do you learn to do the things you do?

[@rjaraneta913]

WOW!!!

[@Snagprophet]

Hearing this in an English accent sounds amazing

[@michaelengle9062]

I'm mad at you lot in the UK for keeping this amazing talent hidden from us here in the U.S.. Guess I can't blame you though, you tried to give us Roxy Music and we didn't take them seriously. She is awesome.

[@mrthomas394]

She is our amazing English rose with a voice of an angel ' beautiful woman perfect figure and a joy to watch... She is a bit posh though ha but we like that 😂✌️
