Melody Gardot - Somewhere over the rainbow at North Sea Jazz

[jessieatkin]

love it - what an amazing rendition of the song!

[meerixxo]

So awesome... yes she is... love her...

[valeschu1]

like it!!!

[Jayee123]

Not crazy about the changes to the melody--what happened to that octave leap?--but despite that, she's my favorite "new" singer.

[hollycejones]

Goose bumps... goose bumps... goose bumps. That's how I know she has talent

[PrettiNikkiRIght]

Stylish.

[marcellinasfigaro]

She has the voice and could have done a beautiful rendition of the original.

Not so much a fan of this "jazzed up version.

[nicknearthebay]

love this song version.

[jenafuller]

Ah, I adore her..5 stars and faved, thank you!

[KasiaGliwski]

I feel depressed when I realize that she was born in the same year I was born, and she can play and sing like that!!!!

Lol

[masalanyc]

yea but her talent wasn't realized until she lost her sight in a car accident - so now, do you still really want to have the talent she has - there's always a price to pay

[oldhippie1198]

@masalanyc She's not blind. She has a sensitivity to light, hence the dark galsses.

[LillyArwen]

Imagine how it is, if you're OLDER, hahaha...

@KasiaGliwski I always liked Tom Lehrer's line when he was in his thirties: "It's a sobering thought that when Mozart was my age, he'd been dead for four years!"

[MissJosephinie]

just love her music!!plus she´s so beautiful<3

[falco566]

Alway loved this classic tune, but Melody strips it from its judygarlandy, X-massy flavour, and gives it the stature of an adult yet sweet instant classic....

[altersachse]

@falco566 Hey falco, try Eva Cassidy, think you´ll like it

[falco566]

@altersachse Thanks for the hint, you were right, she's talented and sweet.

[tunamouse]

[lisadoradela]

[kawaiiaix]

[Shackamaxon]

Brilliant arrangement

[asgalvao]

The beat of the guitar reminds me Dorival Caymmi.

This is Wonderful!

is that a photocopier in the background?

[JAZZYJULS]

what a voice...

[ivnamei]

2/2, samba

[Chameleonite]

I wasn't sure about this the first time I heard it, but bought the CD and now I love the upbeat tempo. Melody Gardot has basically put a positive spin on a mellow old classic. Instead of complaining "why oh why can't I", she is in effect saying "but why not?... I can do anything if I believe in myself". I love the positive message it gives out... a true reflection of herself and all that she has achieved in spite of disability.

[SoulgirlieRianne]

Latin 4/4? :)

I'm not really into the tempo!

[blueconvoy]

does anybody know what rhythm this is in?or tempo?
