I wish we had a full version of this. It is beyond words. and no - she is not playing piano on this, she is standing. jon brion is playing piano. you can tell it is his style. she never plays piano on her covers, only the songs she has written.
This was just a snippet; why?? I didn't care for this al all. She over-emoted, trying for effect, and hammed it up much too much. Also, her intonation was weak in spots. Better luck next time. Also, if you do this song too slow it can sound like a funeral dirge. Needs a bit of rhythm to move it along. Maybe she's new to singing jazz-type tunes like this; she's not bad; she's just needs some more, or better, coaching.
The "Ella Fitzgerald" version is okay, but it lacks character and passion. It's pretty, but boring, and typical of that time period....I wasn't anywhere near dumbfounded.
Yall gotta hear the Original version sung by ELLA FITZGERALD if you think this is crazy Ella will have you dumbfounded. . . No diss to Fiona but she can't top the original
Have you ever had the feeling That the world's gone and left you behind Have you ever had the feeling That you're that close to losing your mind You look around each corner Hoping that she's there You try to play it cool perhaps Pretend that you don't care But it doesn't do a bit of good You got to seek till you find Are you never unwind Try to think That love is not around Still it's uncomfortably near My old heart Ain't gaining no ground Because my angel eyes ain't here. "Agel eyes" Sting
Angel eyes That old devil sent They glow unbearably bright Need I say That my love's misspent Misspent with angel eyes tonight So drink up all you people Order anything you see Have fun you happy people The drink and the laugh's on me Pardon me But I gotta run The fact's uncomfortably clear Gotta find Who's now number one And why my angel eyes ain't here Tell me why my angel eyes ain't here Excusez moi my angel eyes ain't here Excuse me while I disappear

This doesn't work for me -- the singing is breathy, unfulfilled and generally awkward, she has no control over the emotions -- it's all one emotion all the time, and no song is like that -- and it's almost a little painful to watch.
kiss me fiona, why you ask??? because you got me threw 4 hard years of my life and opened my mind to Make it threw....and I LOVE YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT.
if it weren't for youtube, i'd have no idea who she is. i happened upon her while listening to rufus wainwright. companies that don't allow their stars to post on youtube are dumb.
That's just annoying.. No, not Fiona, she's amazing. But those guys from Largofilm post only a snippet of the song... and where can you buy the entire version? Nowhere? :(
@PetruoFan They are not stupid,they are just selfish. If their artists post some of their work on youtube people in the record label don't really earn any kind of money. It's all about the money people.
Interestingly enough it's not there for a reason... the only fiona video posted on the site is this one... (there are one minute long clips from other artists) No offense intended Brilchan, the post link is a pain in the ass if there actually isnt more to see
WOW WOW WOW. You do not know how much I have craved a receording of Fiona and Jn doing this, ever since I saw them do it at Largo in 2006. THANK YOU!!
AMAZING!

@BSDtv1 Sinatra and also Shirley Bassey do a better version than Ella. Her Cry Me A River is the best of all, though.
