[lamujerbellahonor]

This song is so touching that it makes me cries and i'm listening it over and over again....

[peemgee]

Great band, great band leader, great arrangement, great singer, great song......... just lucky i guess...lol.

[spacedoginnebraska]

Nice, but it's not Rickie Lee Jones..........

[byrdland5d]

[matonmagic]

YOU GO YOU GOOD THING. Such an under rated voice in our OZ community. LOVE THIS SONG and its John Forman orchestration.

[VenomLeon]

I love songs with meanings! =)

[atomhtwoo]

i love this song

[KikeYopo]

beautiful

[pause10two4]

This performance finally does this wonderful Bacharach song justice!

[01burgas]

Great memories....great song.....Same style I found this one I also like ....enjoy

"Give you my soul" by Mo'Sean

[cruelloon83]

love it

[RKCarmen]

this song have trijntje oosterhuis sing's thats amezing but she is amezing to!

[Gee40areretarded]

WOW....this is the sort of stuff Ricki-Lee should sing.

Not that pop crap the recorc company makes her sing.

[imrotting]

It got only 54k views because anyone can go to a bar and sing COVERS. Now if she wrote a song like this or was the first to sing it then maybe things would be different, but the fact is "Ricki-Lees" can be found just about anywhere covering old standards. If I am going to hear an old standard, I want the original, not some ass-clown like Micheal Bolton or this girl ripping it off..... Get it???

[hearts0ngs]

@imrotting ...anyone can do this? Ok then, imrotting - I look forward to listening to you sing a cover with as much musicicality, intonation and vocal quality as this young woman did. Have you posted it yet mate? ;)

[hearts0ngs]

@hearts0ngs oops 'musicality'

[idolfandann]

Ricki is my home girl...

And anyone who says this girl can't sing, try being on Idol with her LOSER'S!! She is truly amazing!! The best performer and vocalist to come from Idol, even though she was OBVS robbed of the title her year!!

[Kairukchat]

Thanks for sharing.

[DJPashn]

shes awesome!

[MechaGojira00]

Corny and boring...

[TheRetardedSheep]

@MechaGojira00 stupid and tone deaf...

[MechaGojira00]

@TheRetardedSheep hick and shallow soul...

[mikefmale]

@MechaGojira00 and what singing talent do you have that you can sit at your computer and criticise someone with obvious talent?........yeah, I thought not.

[MechaGojira00]

@mikefmale Boo!, go back to Disneyland if yo don't like the real world!

[jomiguel22]

I was so moved by her performance, it brought me to tears!! Would've been perfect if it was more simply sung. Still, she gave the song great emotional depth!

[smaragd8]

My Best Friend's Wedding OST :)

[tekkenhalo]

What movie did I hear this song in?.. Grrr..

[AustinWilliam2009]

this song is a gift from God?

[JoeCool031619]

What the world needs now is another folk singer, like I need a hole in my head.

[penutwi]

wth.... i cant find that anywhere :(

[svalio]

i dont like the way she sings it ... but she has a beautiful voice

[DJPashn]

John Foreman is the name. He is also heavily involved in Australia Idol. She kicked ass with this song!

[jel9999]

Simplismente maravilhoso!

[BROADCASTERbrazil]

[joshwelljonesfirst]

[ecastrocosta]

[Gourgers31]

Ricki-Lee ,She is ok but not as good as the original.

[MrMarcosRosa]

Is this one the original?

Jackie DeShannon

I've heard only Jackie as the original and I really think amazing!!

Thanks!

[ForMusicVijeya]

Awesome singing....

I also very much appreciate and enjoyed the piano accompaniment by the host. (I don't know his name).... Amazing jazzy backing

+ the beautiful orchestra behind adding more magic to the superb singing.

[KleinesBlondchen94]

Amazing =)

Awesome =)

[InesQueiros]

[JeffoliveiraF]

[lol4d4]

[rebuhnomis]

Mr. Bungle did it better.

[67overkill]

when amatuers sing classic's like this song , it just shows us how talented the originals were and how watered down music is today!

[mOcHeLe]

i got goosebumps. love ricki! still cant understand why she got voted out so early in australian idol?!

[Nnefit]

why they always have to boast at these songs? The originals are still best

[junqueira1411]

show!

[reginagoulartsantos]

I use to listen to this music since I was a child.

Perfect performance. I love Burt Bacharach.

[ytfmichaelxu]

[liberty211662]

the little kids acually sounded good so did the trumpets and the trombones.

[boomini]

awesome.  see also marvin gaye's what's going on. it's very current.

[boomini]

dad may have been right? hope your kids do not have to go to afganistan or iraq. as for kid hater, your time will come when there's only you in this world.

[gore53]

My dad used to say 'children are to be seen and not heard,' admittedly an antiquated, out of date view, BUT in this case he may have been right.

[PLAYMAKERPIMP2]

wow she killed this song. Amazing !!!!

[spanchindancer]

it's true. we need it.

[SuperImpozeMatt]

was great until the kids started singing, now i have to clean up all this vomit on my floor

[FWYGINOND]

I hate it when little kids sing. I think my ears started bleeding when they did

[erratik101]

[tiya243244]

@awsumgymnast95 dude whatchu talkin' bout?...rap had its time, we in a whole new area now, i'm from holland n we don't hear shit from rappers here...as the matter of fact the only rappers that have any succes here are rapper that mix their record with some "techno-ish" beats :P...so its all 'bout singin' again...like music always was;)

[pastarena]

she was on australian idol season 2.... but she was the 7th one voted out .... however she's doing really well right now because she's been signed on to an independent label

[Puddlefeet]

God knows why she was voted out so early... everyone loved her, seriously.

[MidgeDog]

Jaw droppingly good - just shows she can nail the big ballads just as well as the popular dance tracks.

Ricki-Lee is easily the most talented and popular female idol. :D

[waynoak]

STUNNING RICKI-LEE!
