  • Even Annie Lennox can have a bad day...she´s singing as though she has stomach cramps....

  • I think it's a brilliant performance by a pro at her peak....some of you guys took a stupid pill

  • annie can sing but this is bloody awful think she was on the drink

  • Great. Great. She found that way to sing it.

  • always loved annie great version

  • I love this rendition! I found the musical version to be a bit boring but she made it awesome and jazzy and I prefer her voice to some high pitched wailing anyday

  • I absolutely LOVE Annie Lennox. I have a collection of B-Sides, rarities, and bootleg stuff that any Lennox fan would die for. BUT, when she can't sing it, she can't sing it. This doesn't even HAVE to be compared to any other version; she just did not have the high regsiter for this tune. Her baritone is splendid, her enthusiasm admirable, even her adopted folksy-Southern enunciation is cute - BUT - I'm sure I'm not the only one who cringed when she went flat on the high notes. Bummer.

  • It wasn't bad. She sang it as a jazz song. There was no intention to do it a la Showboat. The best version is Helen Morgan. She did the original Julie on Broadway and the 1936 film version but Annie can still take a bow for this performance.

  • very ugly performance, horrific! poor her, she figures it, already!

  • Annie is the only artist who is wonderful in every kind of music! That's all !!!

  • seriously?! why ruin a great song?

  • Look up Lena Horne singing this song. That's how it's supposed to sound.

  • That's what decades of Rock'N'Roll singing does to one's voice. She has totally lost her highs, it sounds like. She's way too young to have lost her voice. not to mention 'plan' was so terribly out of tune.

    Without the voice, she needs the right technique. Rock and Blues are related, but not close enough for her to pass.

  • one of the best and most moving voices on this planet

  • Oh Annie :(

  • Those who have a negative comment for Annie do not know the musical at all, so don't even try!!!

  • @princesamme I'd say that those who have a positive comment for Annie don't know the musical at all.

  • I love Annie, but didn't like this at all!!! She sounds like she's forcing her voice too much to sound like black-jazzy amazing singers...TERRIBLE! I love Björk's version 10,000 times more.

  • i'm always a huge fun of annie, but this was horrible

  • does anyone have the sheet music for this? i need it for a performance and if you have it please message me, it'll be so very much appreciated!

  • Well, can't help think that she spoiled this song almost completely :(. I cannot sense any feeling at all :|

  • a great rendition of a great song by a great singer-what more could one want:-)

  • sorry Annie I normally love you but not in the song :-(

  • Haha 3:04 is great with the piano players face...what was he thinking?

  • Gente, que terrível! Ninguém realmente percebeu que estava agudo demais para ela?

    É uma grande cantora, mas me pareceu um equivoco.

    Folks, that's terrible! No one really knew he was too acute for her?

    It's a great singer, but it seemed a mistake.

  • Its a great song and a great version of the song, I just think it couold do with being played a few keys lower...

  • Wow, this is truly awful! -- She's crammed up against the top of her vocal range from the start, and the leaden, cornball arrangement!! --- egad, what a MESS!!

  • I actually thought she was mentally retarded at the beginning of this song. I mean no insult, she jsut sounds awful in this song, like something is wrong with her.

  • @LindsayOfSaturn That's a rude thing to say. Everyone has a different voice and style, if we all sounded the same the world would be boring. Lets see you sing it sister.

  • my favorite solo female singer.... god she sounds terrible here.

  • Will you guys stop...She,s great....let,s see you do better....

  • She maybe great, but every singer has there good and bad performances, and this is one of the bad ones

  • Fab Jools and his band would love to see this live!

  • I'm a huge Annie Lennox fan but I gotta admit, it sounds like she swallowed her tongue with this song.

  • It does sound like that! She sounds like a mental person! It would of been better if it was a key or two lower.

  • this song is not for her

  • i think inuysha2sasuke meant that in a tranny type of way like WORK you know? maybe? kinda? i think he/she meant it in a good way because there is two E's on "somee" showing exaggeration so i think like we just all need to peace and love in this world, be understanding....HAHAHAHA okay im done

  • Best version ever!

    This lady has BALLS!

  • Breathtaking! Thank you for this.

  • Thankyou for posting this Neveratime.

    As always Annie is captivating. Can't think of anything I would rather do more on New Years than see Annie Lennox SING live.

  • Good, but she really needs to fix her tongue, her pronunciation is irking the hell out of me.

  • aw love annie

  • dayum mad soul

  • savageness!!!

  • get somee talent

  • inuyaha2sasuke: little shit, you need to get life idiot.

    Surely as well as being a big retarded you are also an infantile so and so.

    Shut up and get lost.

    LOSER!

  • wow her voice is awesome

  • TALENTED!!! Beyond words. Love everything she sings.

  • WOW!!! I had no idea this even existed, I'm so surprised she didn't post this on her blog! everything else is onthere, lol....I wish she did another covers album of old jazzy standards, like Queen Latifah and Deborah Cox did...she looks and sounds great here!!

  • I wish that they dropped the key even a halfstep!!!

  • Love You Annie!

  • LINDA!!!!!!!

  • jaw.. jaw.. where are you?

  • omg, i have never seen this !

  • Is this only a live track ? or did she by chance record this song for someone's album?

  • WTF?!?! where is my jaw? Can this be real?

  • i agree, i think it's because her hair..

  • I can't find the words... AMAZING!!!

    Love you Annie!!!

    *Peace*

  • WONDERFUL!!! Hammerstein & Kern never sounded so good!! Just Brilliant!!!

  • I love Annie - she is the best - but she never sings as well when she is wearing that earpiece. When she sings without it she is fantastic. When she uses it she misses notes.

  • I think she sung very well here. Those Earpiece things are needed for loud Rock shows. I don't know why she needed that type of feedback/earpiece for this type of song and band?? Almost too much sound tech these days. I guess Ms Lennox had her reasons for useing it. She is so good!

  • Thanks for posting this. I went to her website and found the link.

    Excelent brand new performance.

  • Thanks for dropping by, I appreciate it :)

  • Annie you're unstoppable. I love ya!

  • Hermosa parece munequita!!!

    I love you Annie! :D

    me encanta ese vestido!

  • wow - as always -

  • Great rendition of that song, Annie! You look like you're wearing a glowing halo, lol!

  • Nice jazz tune....rock version...Its Alright Baby,s coming back...

  • Amazing!!!! Annie to Broadway!!!!!!! Can't help loving you X

  • BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Annie on Broadway anytime soon?? That would be fun!

  • Hey there, not sure if you can manage to get the clip where she says the New Year is a catastrophe...cant find a way of hacking my iplayer file!

  • thank youuuuuuuuuuu !!!

  • WOW THIS IS FAST PLACED!

  • I love annie thanks for posting xxxooxoxoxox

  • awwe--great annie--makes me smile:)--she shoudl explore more of this music-would love to hear cd of these standards from her.-her voice is getting such rich tones in it as she matures:)
