Celine singing masterfully Summertime

[KHeeC]

@musicfan1191 Hm.. that's interesting since I find Celine's version better than Leona's..

[SonneDD]

sorry friends - yes, Celine has a wonderful voice, but here she only copied Renee Olstead (same producer) and honestly - Renee does it better...

[KHeeC]

@SonneDD Celine said in an interview that she tries not to change certain version of the song by artists she respects to show her respect toward them. She also tried to mimic Barbra Streisand's voice when they recorded "tell him" together.

[MrFalcon61]

It's a jazz version but still great vocal.

I prefer the slow soulful version but Celine is the best.

[MRDEREVKO]

I love Celine but no one sings this better than Ella Fitzgerald!!

[Ocelot2000]

Sorry, I love Celine, but this was such a tacky version of it. There was no meaning in the words. More of a showcase of her voice rather than what the song was about. Horrid interpretation especially when she goes into overdirve....

[hmmfun]

@Salentiny it 's in fact david foster's "version" he worked with both renée and Céline... these singers are not the musician who created the "version" but they are the artists who carry out the "auditive vision" of the producer...

[via1961]

CEEEEEEEEEEELIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII­nEEEEEE!!

Just carry on. thats so great.

Your voice with this passion, power, touch to soul simply everything!!

She's the eigth world wonder

[Shaudh]

Breath taking!

[LyteWolf]

A truly striking performance. Celine should sing jazz more often.

[MayaSummers]

omg what a voice. such a great rendition from an amazing singer!!!!!!!!!!!!

[love2shop565]

Who could ever even dislike this video? She is so unbelievably talented. WHAT A VOICE!!!!

Legend.

[KobraGenerosa]

It was great. Celine's own interpretation. She brings to song something new and *extra*, she sings from the heart and has a charisma. Those who say that it's "horrible" make me feel dissapointed for themselfs.

[noralovesricky]

HORRIBLE.

[aez58]

Wow! she's simply THE BEST!

[rurikbird]

Not bad. But if you want to hear a really great performance of this song, you gotta listen to Ella's version

[pequitasazules]

(L) I simply love her (L).

[linardp3]

OHHHH...THOSE VOCAL RUNS.... love it! define white soul...

[sanyrub]

WOW didn´t hear this one till now!!! Perfect

[feezfe]

wow i love this version

[Tink26262626]

amazinggggg, love her

[DSBfan1979]

She is amazing, she can do so much with that voice of hers.

[RichNation]

She gets a standing ovation before she even starts.. That's a legend

[astralotustslm]

WoW this blows me away!!

[astralotustslm]

No leona doesn`t.. She amazing, but no

[elrynx2]

She can but its not the whistle isn't as isolated or airy...

Celine took it into an entirely different direction...less lively

[elghalitaoud88]

I like Leona but she will never never NEVER surpasse CELINE DION

[brinney16]

I don't think I've ever heard her sing jazz. She really should consider doing it more often, because this is pretty damn amazing.

[Diamondsrfvr]

Ahh! Celine should sing more big-band jazz. Her voice and phrasing are just fantastic for it here!

[FunkyNadS114]

omg!!

this is amazing!!

[maximalfrance]

C'est class, nuancé, puissant, profond...bref c'est magistral !!!

[theTeabag]

Ella's singing can be characterised as warm heart and cold mind that gives her the unmatched precision. Celine may belt in Titanic but music is not just about being the loudest :)

[free2bfierce]

Even if Celine didn't BELT, she'd STILL be the best! Her delivery is near perfect! Her approach is uncanny and her talent is seemingly endless!

[theblueangel28]

ella is the best singer ever

celine doesnt know what to do with this

shes talented, of course, but shes celine

celine=lame

[aleerarose]

whose ella fitzgerald? :S

anyhoo....amazing amazing amazing celine! the best singer of all time! i dont even like jazz that much...i guess celine's made me like it.

[CelineFanatic]

Ella Fitzgerald is maybe the most famous female jazz-singer of all time.

[gallstao]

WOW!!

[MichaelChimenti]

This is the EXACT version that Renee Olstead does on her album,. Who copied from who? In

[cdchannel]

Because David Foster produced both versions...

[DIONETO]

Celine is "just" the best female singer of all time.

Haters out there must accept that fact.

[iygmd08]

Celine Dion sucks in comparison to legends Sarah Vaghan and Ella Fiztegerald who sang this same song.

[cinqoctaves]

For me she is way better than Sara or Ella, you're just saying that cause they are from another time, so for you every actual singer can't top them. But let's face the truth dumb, Celine has a better voice, and better sales, more prizes. She is more, she's gonna be a legendary singer. I try to imagine Ella or Sara singing The Power of Love or The Reason.

[cinqoctaves]

No she don't. Celine voice just blowher out of the moment when she wants. And I don't like jazz, so for me Ella is NOTHING.

[kives1985]

Well, if you compare the two versions of "Summer time, Ella whoops Celine Dion's ass.

[cinqoctaves]

Ella can't even sing decently other things that jazz music.

Do you imagine her singing My Heart Will Go On? I prefer not to imagine her destroy Celine songs.

[kives1985]

Celine's songs were already destroyed. They suck.

No. Ella COULD sing "My Heart Will Go On," but I think she had good taste.

[cinqoctaves]

Yeah, speak on it, taste differ for me what you think is"awesome" can suck.

She has no vocal ability at all, end of the discussion, Celine is more awarded, has better sales, a way better voice and gives me chill.

[kives1985]

"She has no vocal ability at all, end of the discussion."

LOL. She has the same range as your precious puke face Celine.

[cinqoctaves]

No your monkey face vocie is boring. She sings very well Jazz but that's all. Get your ass out of this Celine Dion vid.

I'll be vey surprized if she could hit an F5 in chest voice. Like I said Ella is a great old jazz singer,lots of singer are better.

[gentbelgium]

ella no vocal ability?sweetie, are you deaf?or just plain stupid?

[cinqoctaves]

You're dumb, scating is so boring, I DONT LIKE JAZZ so you can try to convince me.

ELLA is nothing to me and I don't like her vocie.

Celine outsing her whenshe wants.

[yaboymartele]

Wow, you're really an ignorant jackass. Anybody who appreciates music history instead of having their head stuck up ONE singer's ass knows that singers borrow from one another. In the first few bars, Celine evoked Ella with her controlled release and the ring in her voice. Celine wouldn't sit here & say she's better than Ella, she'd give props where props are due. Stop licking Celine's vagina & you'd see that BOTH women deserve respect. You don't deserve the pleasure of music you peurile prick.

[cinqoctaves]

Please your weak, useless, not polite.

Just shut the fuck up and watch your videos.

I was replying to a comment stupid bitch, I didn't start this shit,I'm not like that,If I made that comment is because another jackass ass feel the need to bring Ella in the conversation and diss Celine Dion.

Now I'm done with you, get the fuck outof here.

[yaboymartele]

Oh, I didn't know you were being childish, I thought you genuinely didn't respect the road that Ella Fitzgerald has paved. If you don't like people responding to your mindless drivel, don't post it.

[rogeregor0622]

HAHa~!^

[kyla143chaber]

everybody should watch her singing...... ha ha.... i love her ....

REIGN THE QUEEN CELINE.....

[Krobra91]

SHE IS INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now heres a women wit class. not like those rap videos that mainly talkl about stupid things. heres a women who just loves to talk

[imahookerbyer]

I love this song.

We are playing it for band.

It's different but very fun:)

Celine does an amazing job on this song by the way.

She always has great sound and is very awesome:)

ily celine:)

[zoea2812]

Classy and stylish. A true Celine performance. Absolutely brill.

[Emiotube]

Celine it´s a bad copy of the great Barbra Streisand keep on trying!

[cinqoctaves]

Pff, you don't know the hell of what you're talking about. Barbara is a great voice, but she don't accomplished what Céline has done, just as she she don't accomplished what Whitney or Mariah has done. She has a so beautiful voice, but some female singers has oversin her now, wake up!!!!

[fantomroyale]

hahahaha... yeah right! celine's got the voice!!!! even SNL and MADTV realizes this...

[Sndyschatz]

I think they are 2 different persons you can't compare!!! Celine rules

[lorena2381]

VERY MASTERFULLY INDEED! A feast to my soul and ears :)

[Kelley1208]

Celine,

We would love to hear more jazz like this. You are so good at it!!

[dariotroise]

i love celine...

[NLB23]

wow!!!!!!!!!!!

[sibun7]

Sing lady! She gets my respect. I love this.

[bbelvoir]

A competent performance as always... but lacking in depth or warmth. Listen to Mica Paris sing "Summertime" here on YouTube, it's miles better.

[CantSt0pTheB3at]

Controlled and stylistic-- I love it.

[sandianou]

SHE's amazing!!!celine is the best!

[mascara4eva]

[wackojavo]

Stage presence, yes! Voice, yes! Such a winning showcase of pure class...

[Powerelfe]

[Weasleyengineer]

[shikma]

[uranus2307]

I love her voice-controll but hate the arrangement

[ababuj]

her voice is back, I love Celine at this way...Would be good a jazz/swing tempo album?meaby...Althought this is one of her best rendition, performance and stage presence

[chubsoffire]

yea she should collaborate with Kenny G

[dkknight2008]

she already has! :)

[pietersite26]

[CelineChannel]

[PattiHolte]

[crimsoncream]

I love Celine but No!

[ababuj]

I love Celine and Yes!this is good, is perfect, is something diferent, is not normal seeing Celine singing at this way but is beautiful. You have to look the performance and hear the song, nothing else.
