Cathy Davey performs "Cry me a River" @ the Electric Picnic

[ImaRocck]

Damn Man, I sing better than that.

[jmacgiii]

its ok

[theoriginalfiona]

Cathy with Conor O'Brien on guitar...utterly brilliant

[Darzy92]

I like Cathy but I think the only person who can sing this song 100% is Barbra Streisand...

[MrScip1985]

@Darzy92 go listen to barbara streisand so you fucking idiot

[Darzy92]

@MrScip1985

Am i not entitled to my opinion?

[growchronic]

@Darzy92 u are entitled to be a cunt

[Arsenogenics]

@Darzy92 Probably, that is of course if you don't pick the worst version of the song ever recorded. Streisand couldn't get her chops around this no more than Cathy Davey. As for the blandness of Krall's version FFS! Get past whatever this current Irish diva is mangling and watch one of the many clips of Ella Fitzgerald on Youtube, available free for all. What a parochial little place Ireland is!

[Darzy92]

@Arsenogenics Oh ya I agree, I love Ella's version too

So much power, she really has on of the greatest voices

[StephenJaques]

@Arsenogenics What a parochial little person you must be to think that Ireland can be summed up by one characteristic. Look past stereotypes; they're bad.

[Arsenogenics]

@StephenJaques Thanks for that Stephen and nice singing. I don't understand your comment at all as it's phrased like an argument but isn't one. Putting Davey in the same class as Streisand is frankly laughable but I did it anyway. What characteristic are you referring to by the way?

[StephenJaques]

@Arsenogenics What I meant was that Ireland isn't just a 'parochial little place'. I agree that both artists are of a different calibre... Cathy's performance is flawed but I still love it.

[Arsenogenics]

@StephenJaques Unfortunately it is. Good for you if you like her. I wouldn't rate her at all and this performance is nothing short of masturbation, particularly the "innovative" guitar arrangement. Don't know how I got on to this page and apologies for the criticism. Carry on and enjoy it.

[StephenJaques]

@Arsenogenics I don't need your permission to listen to music I enjoy, thanks. I hope for your sake that you can learn to appreciate people and their tastes some day, as well as how they feel about their country. If you think you have everything sussed, you don't- keep your petty opinions of my country to yourself.

[Arsenogenics]

@StephenJaques You're correct Stephen. However your opinion of Ireland is probably slightly coloured in that you don't pay tax, can't vote, live at home and attend a private school (maybe have a look at those privacy settings on your channel, way too much info on display). So keep up the singing, great falsetto but you're using vibrato to stay in tune on your lower register. Check out Julie Feeney as well. Judging by your taste you'll love her.

[snoopwong]

riff is nice



[realisoph]

Quite cute, but not nearly as awesome as Diana Krall's version which this very much resembles in its intonation..

[Anomaly20]

Lovely...perfection to my sunday :)

[tonybaa83]

i would defo leave my girlfriend for an affair with Cathys voice!!

[MrScip1985]

@tonybaa83 your girlfriend must be an ugly cunt if you'd leave her for a voice

[tonybaa83]

@MrScip1985 She's your mom... you tell me

[marieann30]

@MrScip1985 Wow--Have you looked at yourself in the mirror lately.JERK!

[Beccalola]

Definitely my favorite version.....

[ebeemarsyo]

go girl. u convinced me. nice bridge! very original!

[seameybeag]

Wow.. Nice!

[doddderek]

Lovely, very nice guitar playing Conor.

[ladysixties]

beautiful voice, loved every second of her performance at the picnic, ear pleasure.

and i fell for her guitarist :)

[Ceolteor]

That would be Conor O'Brien, ex-Immediate man. Wish they'd come back... :-(

[CheechFace]

Bring back the Immediate now.

[murraythedemonhead]

Not quite the same but Villagers are pretty good.

[Ceolteor]

Yeah. He's such a talent but The Immediate were incredible... here's hoping for a miracle.
