  • She is good!

  • Cole Porters version is FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR better. This is just a super slowdown for retards.

  • i hate people hating on remakes. i like the original best, but hell this comes almost op on its side. epic music

  • i like the remake i think it should have a old kinda tune not the kind that is jassy kno wat im sayin

  • Jewel is great but meh, this version is lame. The sound just doesn't sound right at such a slow tempo.

  • We've often rewound the cloak? Since the Puritans got a shoak, when they landed on Plymouth roak?

  • yay fallout soundtrack keeps living

  • Hehe. She messed up.

  • @bugglesman your messed up!! she can sing. can you?

  • @gaililtis Not really, but I can say the lyrics properly. I'm not insulting her voice - It's great,

  • @gaililtis you are mean bugglesman

  • Comment removed

  • cole porter is better

  • Much more successful than her attempt at classical.

  • Amazing voice! We just finished a Cole Porter show that included this song as a group scene. It brings back such good memories. :D

  • She's got a great voice for this, and I like the concept and the way she's made it different, but the song was written to have a bit of swing to it, and I feel like she could have done an awesome job if she had just given it a bit of a faster tempo. But then again, the fact that its different makes it stand out.

  • @ShisInLuv

    Jewel's just copying the Ella Fitzgerald recording of the song. (including Ella's slightly different lyrics) There's nothing original on Jewel's part here.

    

  • @crixxxxxxxxx thank god someone is passing on this great music down! and just copying ella!!! are you kidding me? you try and just copy ella!! you make it sound like everybody can do that!! can you?? NO! so shut up and listen!!

  • @gaililtis

    The point, if you had bothered to read the previous posts before going off, was to clarify that Jewel hadn't created this arrangement as thought -- that it was a cover of Ella's Fitzgerald's version. It had nothing to do with her singing ability vs. Ella's. 

    Know what the discussion is about before you interject with your indignant comments, please.

  • I never heard of her but i like her voice.

  • Guys c'mon, So she messed up on a couple of the lyrics. I think she sang it real well

  • Never heard of "Jewel" before - or long-forgotten ? - I think she's great and I can't bother with all the words. She could probably sing itt backwards - sound just as good !

  • A few wonky vowels, but not bad, Jewel!

  • haha she messed up!!! on tha lyrics!!!!!!

  • She skipped "and good's bad today" and repeated "When most guys today" a second time. She should leave this song to Cole Porter and Patti LuPone

  • she totally screws up the lyrics, see if you can find where. i love this song

  • @BG54BG was it at the politically correct Heaven knows Instead of god Knows! And my God Cole porter was right anything goes! My ears it hearts. She butchered it!

  • thanks for noticing it. it hurt my sense to listen to this

  • @BG54BG : should be "looked at as SOMETHING shocking" right?

  • She seems to me a bit like a female Michael Buble. Very good singer she is.

  • HAH! Michael Buble has more talent in his pinky than she does in her entire body!!! That's like the biggest insult to him you could have said! As for her being good or bad I rather enjoy this version, but it's nowhere NEAR as good as Michael Buble!

  • Should've left it to Cole Porter. This is abominable.

  • Great voice...like to hear her sing with Harry Connick!

  • I love this version! I always forgot how amazing a singer jewel is, she is very under appreciated. I would say only LuPone's version is better. I don't have a problem with the tempo, Jewel is making this song her own. There have been many interpretations of this song, and if she tried to sound like somebody else, people would criticize her for doing that.

  • @saxamaphoneguy1 Cole Porter still wins.

  • @saxamaphoneguy1 For me, while this version is good, it's hard to beat Sutton Foster when it comes to performing this Porter song

  • Comment removed

  • I adore this version

  • I have heard her name for a long time...but WOW...WHAT A SINGER...I have never stopped listen to this lady.

    As a manager of a Hit 60s..singing icon...all I can say Again...is JEWEL...WOW.

    You are a modern Ethel Merman. In my eyes anyway...GOOD WORK.

  • Its not the its too slow. its that she smoothed out the rythmn, made it not jumpy enough.

  • wow. what an abortion of a cover.

  • You can tell she was really influenced by Ella Fitzgerald's version of this song. Her voice has just gotten better since her "Pieces of You" days!

  • antone who complains should try to sing with a few hundred people in front of you and memorize a whole song lol i doubt most of us can do it lol

  • its not actually that difficult..... ive done it infront of 500 strangers, my year group and family..... im only 15....

  • thank you too

  • wow, this version sux, the original is WAY better, in my opinion

  • Lyrics ring as true today as in 1934. A good rendition.

  • this song is better done by chorus ensambles

  • I wasn't expecting her to do jazz to well, but she nearly nailed it. Go Jewel! lolz XD

  • Well I think it doesn's sound bad, but the tempo sucks. Really the song was not meant for that slower tempo. She ok

  • doesn't she sing 'Once in Every Lifetime' from Eragon the movie? D;

  • i love her. can i get this song? can you send it to me? i have to sing it for choir and id love to have it (:

  • id love to plow jewel

  • lol um, the lyrics aren't that hard, Jewel...

    She sounds like she speaks English as a second language!

  • I assume she's trying to sing in the style of the original song (1930'ish). Listen to an old version , or better, the Cole Porter version. Sweet stuff. OH, btw, this music has become QUITE popular again due to a little game called Fallout 3. Good stuff, indeed.

  • Ya my favorite song in Fallout 3 this lady ruined it lol

  • Absolutely agree with you guys, she spoiled the song.

  • Makin it swing does not equal makin it better.

    Still many people mix it up, its so sad

  • This isn't a good tempo for this song.. Its really much better fast.

  • haha nice way to screw up there with the lyrics jewel

  • Good effort but not as much fun as Yssabella Brave's version.

  • I like Jewel, and this isn't bad, but I like the actual version. It's a better song when done fast. Also, the 1960's version of the song has the best lyrics. All in all though, pretty good.

  • she made a mistake at 1:14 and 1:18. she left out "and goods bad today" and said "wen most guys today" twice. but it was very good! very jazzy and smooth

  • well, it IS from 1934...

  • Omigosh that's brilliant! Sounds like it belongs in the 1930s and 1940s.

  • Damn, I didn't know she can sing like that! This is amazing to be able to perform live like this.

  • We saw her at this performance. She was absolutely brilliant.

  • I love this song! I listened to dozens of version of it on YouTube, and this is one of the best. I've never heard jewel before and was surprised to hear that she can sing (so many pop artists can't). Thanks for posting this.

  • Jewel is an artist who is constantly surprising me. I had the opportunity to see her in concert, it was just her and her guitar. She did acoustic versions of nearly all of her hit songs, and it was absolutely stunning. She has such stage presence and has a great sense of humor. She didn't have a set list of songs, she was taking requests from the audience!! I have been in love with her since 1999 and continue to be in love with her.

  • Lovely version! Never heard it before. Thanks for posting. :)

  • some lyric problems, but not bad

  • Thanks for this!! Love it.

  • this was great to see from sound stage. She did this at Rialto too. Thanks for posting.

  • I love it
