Actually I don't like Britney Spears but at least she doesn't go around murdering brilliant standards. Listen to Tony Bennett's version... when he sang it onstage with Sinatra and Bennett got to the line 'If I ruled the world'... Sinatra said into the mic, 'what do you mean 'if'?' That's how much he respected Bennett. I had the pleasure of hearing Harry Secombe sing this live in the 80's. Amazing. Those guys could sing. They shone. They were naturals.
Thanks Mr Cullum, this is definitly not the greatest moment in my life, but this is definitely the best way to feel better. See ya in France mate, like last time, and drink some wine freezing on a café terrasse :) Thanks.
I'm not gonna give you a thumbs down just for sharing your opinion. I'm gonna give you the 'thumbs down' because you don't seem to respect other peoples opinions.
I personally can't stand rap music, but I don't go around telling rap lovers how crappy thier music taste is, and neither should you.
This may not be one of the stronger tracks on the album, but awful? Nah...
Btw... Your profile says you're 30 years old. That can't really be true...? Is it?
He's simply one of the bests ever *-*

Cullum's version doesn't even come close.

Keep living in the past, bra!:) The past was great! The future is scary. And bad.
Tony Bennet's version is a totally different kind of music. Its stupid to even compare the two versions.
I doubt you ever heard through this whole song.
Have a coke and a smile and shut up! :)

I cannot begin to express how awful this is. Ok, actually I can. This has been sung by many great jazz singers... Jamie is not one of them.
This is dull, void of passion and sung with a voice that sounds more grating than a cheese grater.
If you think this sounds good you need your ears waxing.
Oh dear, here come the 'thumbs down' clicks, lol.
Wake up people.
