I love this great cover version, but why does Diana change the lyrics at the end? It's not "I just want someone that I can talk to", it's "I couldn't love you any better"....which ends the lyrics nicely, imo, so I'm perplexed at Krall's omission.
The original version ends with the line I quoted, then a sax solo. The live versions have the sax solo, then Billy repeats the "I just want someone" line before ending it. Krall's version never uses the "I couldn't love you any better line" at all. Check out the pre-recorded BJ version, and you'll see what I mean.
there are several versions of the song that billy played. for instance, a version i have omits the entire verse that starts "don't go tryin some new fashion"
wow this is my first time hearing her version of this song, and almost instantly, i loved it! i love her voice.. there's just something soothing about it..thanks for sharing!! :D
Shes one of those greats, alive at the wrong time- fucking ashame people are too busy trying to influence the way - and not listening- still a top favorite
I usually hate covers cause they seem to suck the soul out of the song, but this is great. The Eagles did the same with the cover of their own Hotel California.
Yo siempre escuchaba la versión de Barry White, pero este video es una delicia...me encanta esta versión más femenina, aunque el soul sensual de Barry tiene lo suyo.BIEN por el video...es estupendo*****
She looks just like this lady I know named Chantel Kane. It' s like looking at Chantel's twin. She not a singer and if she did sing, she probably wouldn't sound like Diana Krall. Chantel would be a rocker. I actually like the original much better than this...
Krall is a uber interpreter.......Would love to hear her takes on "If 6 was 9," "This Masquerade," "It's Gonna Take Some Time This Time,""It's Too Late," " I Never Meant To Hurt You," "Talk to me of Mendocino," to name a few. Oh, "Fields of Gold?"

She doesn't kick ass in this song. Her voice is weak, and she sings inwardly, not outwardly, almost as if singing alone to herself. This is almost amateur level singing, really.
i love this song when you listen to it over and over again it calms you down and the lyrics stay in your head so that you can take them in as good advice i love this:)

yo.... amerafucks lost the war like 80 years back when they tried to take over canada.. fuck they lost but for all they care they taech their kids that it was a draw... canadians sent u with ure tail between ure legs american bitches!!!!
I love her voice "Just the Way It Is." She is a Baby Maker. What I mean is a lot of people l will be making babies to this song. Congrats for the rugrats!-PeaceSeeker-egress
dnt read this(cuz it really wrks). u will gt kissd on the nearest frieday by the love of ur life. 2mara wll b the bst day of ur life hwever if you dnt post ths comment 2 at least 3 vids u will die withn 2 days nw uv startd readn this dnt stp this is so scary snd ths ovr 2 5 vids in 143 mins when ur done press f6 nd ur crush's name wll appear on the screen n big letters ths is so scary cuz it actully wrks ths really wrks
the only thing i didnt like was that its almost the same as Joels version, the same arragements, etc...but I liked a LOT how she sings it, very soft and clear! I think she really understands the song!!!!
As a professional musician who shares the same last name (Krall) Diana is a delight to the ear and a sight to behold. I wish I had the opportunity to share the same stage with her. B.K--Toledo Oh
what a wonderful version! whoever might think different,...... let an artist be the artist! billy did it great but she also got the right to sing it and she did that absolutley great! congratulations madame!
I can tell you as a composer it is a compliment when anyone chooses to do their interpretation of something you wrote ...I would bet you anything that Billy is flattered and loves D's version.
in response to genexxx....so you're so totally right on the money, so i guess we can look forward to your version on your cd which is being released ..........when.....??????

La forma en que canta Diana hace que el alma se desprenda para estar con armonia; Diana hace que esta letra despierte recuerdos y recuerdos de amores peregrinos amores de viento
Essa mulher é nota 10: linda, toca bem, canta muito bem e, pra quem já a ouviu em entrevistas, muito simpática. E adora o Brasil! Ou seja, perfeita... fora que a música é do tipo pra se ouvir em qualquer ocasião... só poderia ter sido enviada pelo meu grande amigo Douglas, mesmo... rs.. Abraços a todos.
i think if she tried to sing it the same it would would be so the girls could have a version to play to their men...could u imagine playing the Billy J version to your man?!! i don't think it would have the same effect ;-)
