I started to like it more when I heard it in Portuguese with the title "CHOVA OU FAÇA SOL - eu vou te amar -" with the wonderful Brazilian singer PEDRO STEFANI.As beautiful songs are immortal and beautiful in any language because the sensitivity of the soul are especiails people.I love this song! BRAVO
Her gentle, raw, and sometimes hardened voice makes her music come to life...it's that somber tinge of loneliness and betrayal, that shows that she means, every word she's singing. Her music, becomes an extension of herself, she was genuine, and it's so difficult to find a musician like that nowadays. But, out of that sadness, it's not difficult, for it to bring a smile on your face as well, a small, heart-wrenching smile, if only, because you know what she truly meant.
I think Billie would have been suprised to know how many people love her now in 2011 as compared to when she was alive. I don't think she had any idea how much she gave to the world. There'll never be another Billie Holiday.
this lady wore her GUTS on her sleeve .she is A standart that all singers regardles of genre needs to measure themselves. phrasing is the number one lesson
Billie was the ultimate interpreter of a lyric. Never will there be another artist capable of her innate musicianship and feel for transmitting the essence of a song. I'm totally humbled and overcome by this rendition.
@Footballzeal - Lady Gaga is the least of the shit out there. I find her the only one who's bearable because she has some sense of originality and doesn't have to look like Barbie all the time. How about Ke$ha?? Now THAT shit makes me want to shoot myself. ; )
@JennJenification don't mention lady gaga and originality in the same sentance, she is just a more extreme madonna. fuck gaga! the only lady singers that do justice these days are like alicia keys, beyonce knowles, and adele adkins...fuckin gaga...pfftt
@continuum06 no. just no. lady gaga has a voice that is faaaar better than madonna's. if alicia keyes and beyonce sang good music i'd agree with you. but they don't. adele is wonderful. but a completely different style than gaga. no comparison.
Life must have been so much simpler back then... sigh.

@AleekahTV Me too. Billy's is my favorite version, followed by Vaughn's, then I like equally the versions by Washington & Fitzgerald.

You obviously don't know much about Billie Holiday's life, nor the many changes her voice it under went due to drugs. Remain ignorant.
