  • soyadın çok kralmış kanka

  • MARAVELLOSA VEU DIANNA

  • This is worse than Angela from Sons and Daughters...

  • love it <3

  • Yes, got it! Guitarist, Anthony Wilson...  One of the top men in his field, and what a tone he gets. I think I'll burn my Gibson!

  • We don't hear this song often enough. This is Ms. Krall at her best. And the guitarist, whose name escapes me, breaks with a faultless solo, that adds everything to the overall mood of this old standard. Antone who doesn't like this, is entitled to an opinion, but maybe they should go listen to something else.

  • 20 people around here have got some serious music taste issues

  • She reminds me of Jessica in Heroes :)

  • a blue boy.... and a glance which seemed lost and vacant traveled afar to the snow white peaks....

  • I love this marvelous voice where whatever type of emotion, human feeling can be expressed,thanks to an use of a vast range of dynamic contrasts

  • I had to stop and go get a short glass of bourbon to go with this.

    If only I hadn't given up cigarettes.

  • Ver e ouvir Diana Krall é motivo de satisfação íntima é pessoal não se consegue definir melhor. O acompanhamento é sem dúvida sensacional porque valoriza as interpretações de Diana.

  • a great singer and guitarist

  • a great singer and guiterist

  • a great singer

  • absolutely great vocalist and musician

  • A GREAT SONG!

  • No vocalist better than Diana great guitarist..Always loved his solos

  • Khloe Kardashian look alike? o.O maybe?

  • wow. I never listened to her before. How much was I missing out !? man she's amazing !

  • beautiful canadian jazz singer

  • Amazing........

  • You guys have to listen to Janis Joplin singing this song...It's an unforgettable experience!! Deeply touching!!

  • waw bagus sekali....

    aku jadi suka jazz...

    nice one...

    

  • Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Good artist, bur I prefer Karen Carpenter version or Anita O'Day, or even Janis in her own way. And Nina Simone also.

  • lo mejor del jazz moderno y una hermosa mujer

  • I love this song <3

  • she is fat in the face

  • @GREENBINGBONG : well, she was pregnant with the twins here! what do expect ....

  • okay for a restaurant but not for a concert hall

  • Passion!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Luv it!

  • What a wonderful video of Diana. I was lucky to go see her in Brasil last week and she continues to deliver an amazing and romantic show. This is one of my favorite songs. This video clip is on which of hers DVD?

  • this reminds me of cowbowbebop :)

  • what an amazing voice.

  • @MEDITATIONSTODAY I agree... This is one of my favorite song from Diana.

  • @MEDITATIONSTODAY

    Listen to Janis Joplin. No emotion in this at all.

  • @trango64

    There's such a thing as subtlety. Diana Krall is not a screamer but there is plenty of emotion if you have ears to hear it.

  • Kwintesencja piękna i cudownego relaksu.

  • Find it hard to believe that anyone would feel that this tender performance threatens those from earlier artists. A very valid take on it. Comparing Krall's to Sinatra's in no way diminishes his own from 1954. Thank you fast-focus! And most of all, thank you Ms. Krall.

  • shame the intro of doublebass solo was cut. It's so beautiful...

  • shame the intro of doublebass solo was cut. It's so beautiful...

  • Wow, I'm going to have to get one of her CD's and play it on my Bose while snuggling with hubby in our 'ole king bed......such sultry, romantic music.

  • I hate her. id say Nina's verson is the best and then Janis

  • awesome! TY.

  • Listen to the phrasing in her playing, just outstanding.

  • she's amazing a favorite for a long time. and the band is just incredible!

  • The ultimate rendition!

  • The best version of this song is done by Chet Baker, I challenge anyone here to listen to his version and disagree!

  • This was first done by Janis Joplin..and noone can out do her. this is alright, but shes no janis

  • @nicolerenee82 I'm totally agree. Janis is the best!

  • @nicolerenee82 Hi, Billy Holiday sang the song many years ago,and Dianna Ross (amazingly!) did a pretty good cover for the Billy movie. But yes, this is good.

  • @nicolerenee82 Janis was hardly the first to sing this. This song is by Rodgers and Hart, composed for a Broadway show in the 1920s.

  • Sempre esecuzioni di alta classe! Atmosfere rarefatte ed impalpabili, per evadere dalla realtà ed entrare nel sogno!

  • @morbinful Sono perfettamente d'accordo con quanto hai scritto....Diana Krall e la sua musica affascinano sempre!

  • i love you

  • trop bon...surtout à 2:35

  • No one could bring this song to life more than Janis Joplin. RIP

  • check out janis joplins version

  • really really really GREAT

    roby (Cremona - Italia)

  • the guitarist is remarkable

  • @crassanova Elvis Costello her husband and father of her twins!

  • @crassanova

    I totally agree re: remark about guitarist being remarkable :). Anyone know his name?

    What an amazing jazz vocalist fellow B.C. Canada jazz singer Diana Krall is.

  • @arikcarlo The guitarist is Anthony Wilson, one of the best.

  • @crassanova Anthony Wilson! the master :)

  • Vintage Diana Krall! So much talent and emotions!

  • First heard Nina Simone play this. Loving this version too.

  • Etant fan de jazz, ce n'est que du bonheur.

  • ..... and cheer a little boy blue too X

  • Anyone who performes and sings a live version of a chosen song, adds  a lot of knowledge to ones musically inclined mind. Dianna is one jazz artist who does such improvisation and creativeness, and,I am just one of her millions of fans...

  • Still aint got anyone telling me where to look for this splendid version of "little girl blue" ....and yes! Anthony Wilson is more than OK on this live versioni

  • Hermoso... ¡que sensación escucharla!!!

  • Comment removed

  • DIANA ....sei un emozione unica ......un brivido ....una sensazione ....splendida

  • éssa é a melhor sem duvidas

  • Pretty; I 1st heard Janis Joplin play this, back in the day.

  • I think there's a version on the Very Best of, but I don't think it's this one. So I don't know where else to find it. Thanks, You Tube and fastfocustv for the upload.

  • Yes, I've got that version with Diana'a solo on the piano,- It's very OK but not the same thing. Seems as if also Diana's voice is more relaxed on this live version which gives more credits to this Rodgers & Hart song.

  • Diana Krall I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!

  • That string of chords from Anthony right after his solo is superb.

  • Yep, he is doing allright, but where do I find this DVD or CD. I've looked at the "Live in Montreal" but its not there...

  • What a beautiful and talented woman, whe whole package. And she belongs to us Canadians too! Cheers!

  • Canada has produced some fantastic female artists...Sarah McLachlan is another who comes to mind.

  • KD Lang, even though most don't like her, I love her

  • KD Lang has a fantastic voice as well...I don't know her music so well but love her style of singing.

  • Comment removed

  • Nice version musicians are great, anybody knows what DVD or CD is called

  • Elegant from start to finish.

  • Beautiful...

  • Just beautiful.

  • Joplin's "Little Girl Blue" is just great

  • Diana is my hero of interpatation, she does it just right, perfect! hug's 4 D

  • diana krall is living proof that god created woman for the joy of man and mankind

  • She's had some great guitar players over the years, but Anthony Wilson just takes it to another level. What a great player.

  • This is quite beautiful, but like Paolopitto states Janis Joplin's version, sung specifically on Tom Jones show in 1969, is awesome, not everyone's taste I am sure, but so 'raw' and vulnerable.

    That said I am going to listen to Nina Simone's version as well! I love comparing the styles as they are all so unique and special.

  • simply nina simone,even though i like this one too,but simone's recording of 1957 is one of a kind...

  • beautiful jazzy version... but none hate me if i say i'd preferred the dramaticy of Janis Joplin version....it's a personal choice

  • The only better version of this is Judy Garland's. Beautiful.

  • I prefer Cannonball Adderley's version, personally.

  • e 'na madonna!!

  • Gorgeous

  • Simply marvelous !!!

  • That was just beautiful!

  • the music is so beautiful. my late husband used to play piano like this.

  • Comment removed

  • ok, this is my first time hearing this

    young lady, and I really like her! I saw her

    CD this morning displayed at Starbucks. I just may go back and buy it! She sounds GREAT ! Can anyone tell me more about her ? Thanks !

  • Canadian....Married to Elvis Costello....can interpret a tune like no one since ole blue eyes or tony bennet....every record is a work of art.....I'm not a fan..I'm in the music biz...I make no profit from her...she is ASTOUNDING....

  • ahahahahahhah..you mean to say all these time --boy you are missing so much of Diana!

  • Check Stacey Kent's version too. It's a homelier version; less dark. Not better or worse just a good version in a different vibe.

  • It's so well performed the audience were scared to clap prematurely at the end. Didn't want to cut away any part of the marvelous ending.

  • Like the beginning of this version the best and end of Judy Garland's the best. And like Joplin's too. What impresses me about Diana Krall is that she sings with intelligence. She considers her phrasing, and it becomes the character of the song.

  • try Red Garland's with Paul Chambers, that's one of the best music I ever heard. This is very good too.

  • I love her version but best is the one by the Four Freshmen.

  • Janice Joplin? Gag.

  • what was the name of the song Diana Krall saang @ the end of the movie "The Score"

  • i loved this song as a child, it can still make me smile

  • Janis Joplin version is better.

  • This is a very good version. However, the best in Judy Garland's version from her album, ALONE.Almost all Rodgers and Hart songs are great.

  • i heard this for the first time tonight on radio and.. this is good... yea i like this.. thanks for posting

  • Nonesense, NiNa S.

  • This song... if You could call it song... :( it's just too slow... Janis Joplin does it with such feeling it so beautiful, I'll hope my relatives plays it at my funeral! I just love it with Janis! =)

  • I agree, the way Janis sings it is beautiful....this is more like the original sang by Nina Simone which is as well a masterpiece.

    They really can't be compared.

  • diana ross' version is much prettier.

  • Jazz music("REAL"- jazz music)is my favorite music & Diana Kral does a nice version of this song, everything i have heard Diana do i like. Not everything i've heard Janis Joplin do i like, but Janis does this song better than anyone else, because she simply puts more emotion & feeling into it than anyone else.

  • love her

  • Janis Joplin's version is much much much better.

  • I have to say I like Janis Joplin's version much better, but this is very soothing.

  • yea but Janis is stonedead,Diana is alive and well:)

  • Miles, Dizzy, 'Trane & Bird are dead too, but their music will live forever... and Janis' music will not be forgotten either. All were musical legends with great talent.

  • Actually, you should listen to Nina Simone's version... She rules! Hum, ruled!

  • krásná muzika!!!

  • Great song and wonderful voice. Thank you for posting this.

  • I can't believe that of a group of people throwing big words at each other and saying absolutely nothing managed to waste 4 - 5 pages worth of comments.

    I like this arrangement, I think Diana's band is really tight - they really cook at this slow tempo, something that is really hard to master. The guitar solo in the instrumental had some really interesting note choices.

  • Wow..what a great guitar player...what a sound..

    And..sure Diana is great..but....there are some great singers who does this much better...

    But the guitar player..he rocks..:)

  • Wow rod :) Glad to see you finally own up to being an internet troll. Now your fantasies have turned to transvestite boys. Many of us are laughing at you too. You rejoin so effortlessly! Ever consider rejoining the circus as a quaint, yet execrable oddity? Oh wait, you're already auditioning for that part :)

  • HAHAHAHA foxy, you pissed him off enough to show his true colours. This just adds to my admiration for confident, intelligent women. Speaking of which, mine is calling me! Have a great day!

  • Diana is great! WOW, this rod describes us Canadians as jealous runts, excrement that soils the shoes of any American who steps in it. He doesn't value anyone's opinion, including his own. He's just argued that Krall (CANADIAN) is a jealous runt, excrement on the shoes of Joplin! Logic and geography aren't his strong points :)

  • Ohhhhh, ohhhh well done foxy!

    Sadly, logic is irrelevant to this arrogant bigoted imbecile. You'd have a better chance showing a blind man how to see. Even if he's not as challenged as he seems, he'll just backpedal, attacking mindlessly with insults. He likes to dish them out but can't it if someone calls him on it. No Worries, such a miscreant sociopath will soon crack, ending up in the state pen as some biker's bitch lol

    PS Wish I could be in TO to attend the Open!

  • I hope I didn't hurt your feelings JB. I'm sure that you and your little tramp already knew that Canada was a crappy little country that only exists because of the U.S. Even two simpletons like you can figure that out. My problem with your country is that you are a bunch of ungrateful louts, that is all.

  • Evidently history too is written in your own mind, if you could call it that. Thank you for being such a beacon to the world, by personifying the dangers of inbreeding. (Loutish is a word I originally used to describe you. "A flaccid intellect" portrayed you inaccurately. You'd need an intellect for that.) We are VERY grateful. We have Diana Krall. We also don't have you. Double bonus!!!

  • This is the best version of this song I've ever heard, along with Chet Baker's version. Thank you for posting it. Janis Joplin butchers it.

  • this is rubbish compared to the janis' version.sounds like she needs to learn the song.

  • matter of opinion. im a fan of rock and jazz, so i can appreciate two diffrent versions of the same song. its like when some crappy pop star covers an old clasic rock song. people may love it, but if you dont like pop music, it will just make you wanna cut off your ears. i understand if you dont like this version, i was just offeringa reason why you dont like it, rather than "diana krall sucks", cos she doesnt

  • I didnt say she sucks my friend.I agree with your comments,but i just thought it wasnt such a good version.

  • so sorry, i just get used to people being assholes on here, you know. my apologies.

  • rodaimpaler: we all have our opinions, but to say that janis never sang a song she didn't butcher is rather ignorant. if that's what you think, fine. but keep it to yourself. because some of us may like women who truly poured out their souls into their music and didn't care if people like you didn't like it. music is about feeling, man. and Janis brought the feeling. Don't get me wrong though. I love this version too. Just stickin up for Janis, because I love her.

  • Not ignorant at all Perry. What is ignorant is an idiot like you writing that we all have our opinions, and apparently its fine and dandy for you to express yours, but I should keep mine to myself. Your musical palate is obviously unrefined and coarse. You can stick up for the stinky cross-dressing hippie all you want, your efforts will be in vain. She will always sound like the amplification of a cat being crushed beneath the wheels of a Hummer.....

  • Diana brings an air of classy, sassy, understatement that appeals to me emotionally and intellectually, so very much!

    Janis evokes a visceral reaction that can fill a void like no other.

    Some of us have souls born of life experience that encompass both.

    Whereas, others may feel the need to attempt to use their intellect in a manner akin to "the amplification of a cat being crushed", in order to reaffirm their own more-limited existence.

    Each to his own taste, or lack thereof...LOL

  • If you are implying that listening to Janis Joplin fills a void in you like nothing else can, then either you are grossly overstating or your life probably has little meaning to begin with. How sad that must be for you. It is true that my taste is more limited than yours dunce. I only enjoy great music performed by great artists. You on the other hand, seem to be enamored with the disharmonious wailings of a spit projecting, drug addled buffoon. Have at it.

  • There goes that cat again, illuminating it's own shortcomings. You revel unswervingly in disharmonious wailings of spit-projecting buffoonery, reflecting well your tastes, hence begging the question: what deficient voids you feel the need to fill? In truth, a flaccid ego is best shored up with social intercourse of a different kind, admittedly beyond your scope. As to your proclivity for puerile attacks, resorting to such underscores an impotent intellect (sadly there may be no remedy)...

  • ...The ironies escaping you are albeit, not lacking a modicum of humour! Diana Krall exudes class, employing restraint and tactful execution, each contributing to the intellectually sensual character of her allure. Ironic indeed how you sir remonstrate none of these qualities.

    But please, continue to regale us with your colossal self-effacing wit, your true character may not yet be apparent to some :]

  • You used the word, "remonstrate," in the incorrect context. I saw a movie some time ago, think it was, "Empire of the Sun." In it, there was a very simple quote that stuck with me, "If you don't say what you mean, you can never mean what you say." You would do well to follow that Drag, or maybe that's just how you Canadians communicate? Either way....

  • Ah roadwhimperer, you exemplify the bleating of the ignominiously impaled, now bereft of previously feigned eloquence, yet still thrashing about... I've encountered you before at a one lane crossing, whereupon you bellowed "I never concede to an idiot". I calmly smiled and stepped aside, gladly proclaiming "I always do"

    The road is yours =D

  • You really should stick to 2 syllable words. Your horrid usage of the English language is simply appalling at this point. You really should deconstruct what you just wrote and learn from your mistakes.  I'm glad that you decided to stop being such a Drag....

  • Just a stab in the dark here Drag. I suppose your recycle my words because you lack the creativity to ferret out your own? What's next? "I know you are, but what am I?" And someone your age shouldn't be making remarks about impotence, physical, intellectual or otherwise, unless it is weighing so heavy on your mind that you just can't help yourself. A little advice, Stop getting yourself so worked up and save your energies for areas in which you require remedy. Which reminds me......

  • hey rod just checked out YOUR page LMFAO what are you confused about? pretending one thing here but having a page sponsored by porn? TALK ABOUT SADDD, lotta great artists there too, NOT

    Borderline psychotic is more like it! Dangerous if you weren't so lame. Obviously Rod da impaler must stand for wannabe D!ck wad HAHAHA OH TOO FUNNYYYY

  • You are obviously too stupid to appreciate the satire of my, "confused," mood. Viewed in conjunction with my status message, it is quite hilarious. But then you would have to be my friend and have an I.Q. above that of a mere simpleton. Unfortunately, you fail on both counts. How is my MySpace page sponsored by porn genius? Because women send me racy comments? You Canadians are such jealous runts. Still using LMFAO? And you call me lame? Do the world a favor. Go blow an AIDS patient.

  • The top of your page was a link to "chat with hot Japanese women", the rest so sleazy I needed rubber gloves and a mask. Drivel like "sitting on my throne & calculating the speed of dark" HAHAHA Stick to the crapper contemplating your navel. That taste you mentioned may go away if you stop blowing yourself. What a slimy closet-wanker! People pegged you bang on! They just forgot the maxim: never engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed opponent(that would be you)

    Freud would have a field day!

  • Perhaps you are the one who is confused? Is that what happens when you spend the majority of your time justbrowsin for porn sites? Those links must be burned into your perverted mind you homunculus of a man. It isn't any wonder that all of your insults are either crude or recycled from a Miss Manners column. In America, you'd be the dregs of society. The unfortunate excrement that occasionally gets stepped on and leaves a nauseating smell wherever the bottom of the shoe takes it.

  • The only porn I browsed is your page. It did sear my mind! I see prolonged exposure left you with delusions of homunculi. You're so thoroughly ill mannered, epitomising loutish inelegance, there's no doubt you're intimately familiar with the dregs of society. An ambassador for America! Just keep proving that you relish vulgar epithets and enjoy the smell and taste of your own nauseating excrement, by opening your mouth. Bon Appetit

  • Let's take inventory. So far, you have used trite sayings, soccer hooligan language, delusions of porn, and now you have resorted to recycling my words (just like the moron before you). Here's a challenge. Come up with something original and stop being a hack. Its getting to the point where I barely need to respond. Your sophomoric attempt to use words that are beyond your faculty of thought is so absurd, that your entitlement to your opinion should be revoked. Try again son.

  • Good boy! Now distancing yourself from that putrid taste in your mouth. Yes, let's take inventory. Your own words, demeanor, name and page all prove you emulate Janis and eschew Diana. No escaping that dose of reality! You value no opinion, including your own. Not very clever to chastise others for recycling, by doing so yourself. But then grandiloquent posturing, not logic, is your forte. :]

    Stick to Joplin, Krall is out of your league.

  • LOL you're so right jb! Fits him to a tee! His name says it all: rod da impaler (how Freudian and puerile, as noted below). He has no point or values. He just likes to hear himself go on and on... (oops, grandiloquent posturing said it much better). Diana's fingernail clippings have more class than he!

    But we really must stop teasing the animals ;)

    PS He'll probably steal your words to use on others, being the poser that he is!

  • foxy, do I detect a smidgeon of restrained condescension? lol To say the guy has earned a patronising response is an understatement. Diana's music errs on the side of restraint too. Very appealing! It leaves you wanting more rather than running for cover...(oops, my bad too, that's one of the definitions of class)

  • Its precious how you morons stick together. Not that it matters since I'm sure that your struggle to use words properly and in context will only be multiplied by two now. Perhaps you should try to hook up in person, since you both seem to be 2nd class humans living in the same 3rd world country? Might keep you from going blind from all that porn JB? I can only hope that Foxy is a male. I shudder to think of 2 nincompoops like you reproducing.

  • :) Hey rod, (I use that pejoratively; is it a euphemism for dick or tool?), are you so bitter because you failed in school, or just life in general? Your blog, bordering on coprophilia, was chock-full of references intended to solicit anal sex and in it you admit that you're flattered by (drool over?) overtures from men. S'Wonderful there's no need to worry about you procreating! Sorry if I paired you with Janis. I not only got the gender wrong, she may quite possibly be the wrong species too.

  • This is getting tedious JB. Your responses alternate between recycling my entries and repeating your own, when mine were far more articulate and yours were completely ineffectual to begin with. I am however, glad that you have become such a big fan of my MySpace page. You can learn much of politics, humor and life in general by continuing to explore it. New readers are always welcome, no matter how infantile and boorish they are.

  • Golly rod :) you've said that several times now, using the same words too! Morbid curiousity did get the better of me. I visited your page once, having noticed you resorting to using background information on people, to mask the absence of content in your arguments. And yes, I installed a big fan, to push away the odor. As suspected, you're not here to listen to music, but to fish for confederates. Happily, I'm not one.
