  • HappY BirthdaY NinA!!!! You're my favorite Girl!!!!

  • I have been a fan of Nina's since the 60's. I love this song, but my favorite is " You Can Have Him." Lots of feeling on that one. Some talent! Whatever the magnitude of demons that tormented this life, one thing is certain: We've captured her on tape for generations to enjoy,appreciate and admire. Can you replace the Mona Lisa or even try to duplicate good cheesecake? It'll never happen. Nina lives!

  • this song is soooooooooooooo Amazing nina simone is the best singer in history :)))))))

  • I love it so much!!! Nina Simone is GREAT!

  • one of her very best her heart is really crying this one

  • @oldsprix It does look like she's trying not to cry... Wonder what happened. I had heard that she didn't like the song much. It must be soul destroying to have to keep playing(miming in this instance) for the pleasure of others.  xx

  • There are one or two momments in that where she actually seems to be enjoying herself!

  • taataarataratataratarata

    

  • I agree that this version is the definitive version. Yes, the original is from 1930 and I have but this one got THE feeling and the piano timing is PERFECT. Remember she was trained classical.

  • very nice waw thumps up for nina

  • She always hated that song, you can see in her face...In her first album this is one of the worst songs...compared with good bait fo example this is a stupid song...she always thought it was a silly song

  • @Miquelangeld Do you really hate this version?,funny that,I love and think that anyone else thinking of recording their own attempt should just forget about it,THIS IS THE DEFINITIVE VERSION,and any other performer would be just wasting their time trying to beat it,her timing an phrasing is perfect and her use of the keyboard sensational,still I suppose what makes the world go around is that some people have different tastes.

  • @Miquelangeld dope you idiot, she's unhappy coz she's miming. Listen to the piano she's lovin every minute and she wouldn't play a song she didn't like you wally ;P

  • @antstock13 Instead of insulting me, maybe you could read a little, I recommend the book by David Brun-Lambert (sorry, no photos) and the autobiography written by Nina Simone called "Ne Me Quitte Pas." In the first one she expresses her hatred for that song, and I think also in the second one she said the same.

  • J'adore

    

  • PAUL MIDDLEDITCH!

  • AMOUR ♥ (¯`*•.¸♥ ♥ ♥¸.•*´¯) ♥ AMOUR

  • This is what she look like when I toured with her, this is in Paris.

  • @astridrun1 why are you saying that wlell sad ...........

  • @astridrun1 Post a pic of yourself fool.

  • this song made me depressed when i was little but its a good song weird

  • GENIALLL

    

  • too bad its lip sync'd

  • A remarkable piano player!

  • ok

  • wauw dis is goed

  • If this doesn't make you high, no cocktail of narcotics can.

  • LOVE THIS SONG. THIS WAS HER MOST REQUESTED WHEN SHE PERFORMED LIVE. SHE WANTED TO BE A CONCERT PIANIST BUT WAS DENIED BY AN UNJUST SYSTEM.

  • love this ,,,, :)

  • Lovely song but was looking bored and disinterested her style?

  • @thrillkillerz That bothered me too at first. But when you really get into her, you'll experience a wide range of emotions, although she is very self-contained. She was a remarkable lady, she had a bipolar disorder. Keep enjoying!

  • @MegaSmk This recording and the video are a real treat, also check out "I got life" the live festival recording.

  • NINA FANTÁSTICA!!! MUITO BOM MESMO!!!

  • Could listen to this forever.

  • nina simone para sempre !!!!!!!!!! greaaaaaaat

  • Her voice and talent was unique!

  • im being completely serious has she died or is she still alive?

  • @swiminthissilense She died in 2003 (70 years old) after several years of breast cancer.

  • I just keep crying. Those were the days.

  • She's great, perfect!

  • she hated that song:)

  • @merlino1987 she sold the rights to the recording for a few hundred dollars and the record company made millions with it

    its reported she saw one of the agents from the company in a restaurant and went at him with the knife she was eating with screaming "I want my money"

    This TV appearance is one of the rare times she ever sang it in public - she maybe was contractually obliged to do it that night - it certainly looks as thougfh she is being deliberately miserable to make a point

  • sry i love this song, but why in the hell shows this video not the fingrs in the solo :D

  • eu tenho o cd dessa maravilhosa voz

  • Absolutely perfect! Love this song!

  • fukin classic xx

  • que mulher era nina simone! que voz! talento! uma pena já ter partido...

  • This song comes out in little big planet XD

  • TEEEEEmazO!!!!!! #eso

  • Don't worry, DJEvsE, it says much more about TV than about Nina Simone or this wonderful song.

  • The note which continues after she's stopped singing at 2:39 and the piano note when she's stopped playing at 2:47 would indicate clearly if proof were needed that this is all just playback. Shame. Great song though.

  • @invisipics don't crush my illusions by obviously being right :(

  • @DJEvsE There are several issues other than the piano timing. There are certain areas where the vocals are late as well. The issue IMO has to do with the video being out of sync with the audio which is a technical issue unrelated to the original broadcast or film. This is a common issue with video especially when it's been converted to other video formats such as mpg being converted to FLV or wmv. Conversion can cause sync issues that wasn't in the original file.

  • @invisipics I don't think it's playback, I think the video makers just did it wrong.

  • That's real class!

  • mjb is gonna kill it playin her!!!!!!!!!

  • why the fuck would you have NINA FUCKING SIMONE lipsynch?!!!1?! i swear half the corpses she was handled by/played for dont even deserve her grace. humans r dumb

  • Superbo! Seductive and addictive!

  • she really is amazing...n this tune blows me away...happy feets n goosbumps...))

  • Unforgettable Nina...and this song

  • i cant understand how can anyone can press dislike to this song. i had the pleasure to organize 2 gigs for mrs Simone back in 1991 in Patras Greece. She was wonderful, a great performer. R.I.P. we all miss you miss Simone . . .

  • RIP Nina  - we miss you x

  • This is so weird... I think this is the first time I've ever seen Nina lip-sync! @_@

  • @egglady Its the audio that's off with the visuals, the out of synch :)

  • @Torchbearer666 Yes, it's slightly out of sync but... it's the actual studio recording of the song. This is NOT a live performance; she's lip-syncing to it.

  • lovely...

  • I didn't know it was her who played the piano!!! She was sooo great!

  • why her face so flaaaaaaaat !!

  • @adriano162 why did nina agree to play-back?

  • ohhhhhhhhhh beautiful!

    

  • like unhappy...i still love anggun version..sexy and exotic..

  • 132,153 just cares

  • J'ADORE .....

  • So in the original, obviously it couldn't have been Liz and Lana (or Liberaci, as I recall from another version) who weren't his style. What are the original words?

  • priceless !!

  • u·nique (y-nk)

    adj.

    1. Being the only one of its kind;

    2. Without an equal or equivalent; unparalleled.

  • great melody! :-D And the constant expression on her face haha

  • priceless!

  • What is the point of this.? This isn't even live, it's quite clearly the studio version. Shame, she is so good live. :(

  • When was this? Can somebody tell me?

  • smooth music :)

  • It is the greatest song ever

  • amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!

  • I love this song but I would have preferred true live performance...

  • Breathtaking piano solo, fantastic song, sublime performer .

  • i adore her.

  • uhuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu­uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!

    MUITO BOM!!! VERY GOOOD!!!!

  • wow this song is wonderful and Nina great ;-)

  • NINA is perfection !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • wonder why is there a need to mime for that performance? It sounds like a carbon copy of the 1958 version, when she is more than capable to improvise and add stylish embellishments on a extemporaneous basis.

  • First, she is a superb performer..but, I believe she is miming. at 38 seconds you can hear her foot tapping the beat but her legs don't move and at 2min46 watch when she lifts her hands off the keyboard after striking one chord two chords are played.

  • Much as I love this singer, is there lip-synching at 2:37 ..'care'...does not match her lips

  • incantevole...................­......

  • Tsk tsk tsk...3 people disliked? REALLY? Just goes to show "they ain't got no taste!"

  • Omg her piano solo is soooooooooooooo good :)

  • im in love !

  • Damn I love Nina Simone! She is one of my all time favourite musicians.

  • mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

  • /watch?v=qEPciC7x0ck&feature=r­elated o_o

  • @adriano162 Yes unfortunately is Play Back, your right !

  • playback must die.

    one love to nina!!

  • WONDERFUL

  • Ms. Nina, was one of the best. Look at her entire life before you judge. Grand Lady this one.

  • @QueenlyOne66 SHe is well worth looking into oh my.

  • Shes actually lip Syncing, ad you can see where it says care at 2:37, she stops and it still goes on

  • i've heard a lot of good things about this woman but in this performance it seems like she just cant be bothered, i'm wondering if shes worth looking into

  • @sparKienation

    You better check into her. Her songs like

    "Feeling Good" are packed with emotion.

    This particular style of music eventually

    got very popular in Jamaica.. ska came from

    this, which led to rock steady, which led

    to reggae. Believe me.. this track is very

    important in the history of music!

  • @sparKienation do you play an instrument? She's into her art.  Lots of singers/performers/musicians look as if they're not interested, but they're so into performing they forget abotu the audience. She's definitely worth looking into....she was a phenominal woman AND artist

  • @tombythesea RIGHT!!!!

  • her voice sounds really cool here....;-)

  • Aloha from Maui Hawaii

  • Yang 0.50 dia menatapku dengan sinisnya.. aku kan jadi takyuut.... hikss...

    I Like it..

  • yes, you are good to see that ;-)

  • Musik!

  • Good job. Nina plays well

  • She looks so ashamed, I was looking for her tears!

    Fucking tv shows....

  • @skadeline

    I don't get it. What do you think Nina's ashamed about? She's on TV making some dough. It's not Klan rally!

  • Zawsze lubiłam Jej głos.Taki prawdziwy,ciepły trel.

  • even so. she is still such a class act . such smoooth and sultra voice.

  • I always think Nina looks uncomfortable when I see this clip. At the same time she seems to be smiling to herself. All I can say is that they must have paid well.

  • She is not singing. I have no idea why she ever agreed to do this. Such a shame.
