[Andre94404]

I like the style and the voice. First time ever I see these kind of chords playing on a banjo. Well done. I like to see and hear more songs like this, from you, on YouTube. Best wishes for your musical future. 

[ricardoleduque]

Linda

Que pronúncia bela minha querida.

Parabéns.

dá orgulho da nossa música brasileira. E do grande Dorival Caime.

fica na paz.

[objetoscontundentes]

Wow! you have very well on banjo!

I also have a video for this song by the way, my name is Marina, I'm from Brazil

Kiss of Ninna

[MrPartyaga]

[mdmalungo]

Very good!!

[lucashinca]

MY GOD! amazing... I'm a brazilian, and you have this rhythm in your body much more then me! haha..if you come to Curitiba, tell me..

[VFELIPEDEJMENA]

Hermosa voz y es lindo que conozcas de la cultura braziliana. . .porque supongo que eres norteamericana

[deedeerm9]

Just something! Just wonderful!

Parabéns! Maravilhoso, me encantou.

[KennardDumuzi]

What a beautiful voice you have! And the banjo playing along with that particular style of music is a nice creative mix.

[TSpoonER]

Fricking awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Wow

[awndre]

Hey there!

I'm Brazilian and a huge fan of brazilian music as well..

I never comment on videos but I heard your versions and I had to comment this one!

I absolutely loved it!

You sing beautifuly and the banjo, omg awesome idea! And the grat thing about it, is that you stay true to the brazilian style of singing!

Congratulations! You're amazing!

[ningyongduo]

hey ,your playing is very movingly,you made me laugh, and I think you are very beautiful,I like you ~

[benj545]

Portugese, Ok. I work with a half Brazilian half Italian bloke who speaks: Spanish, Italian, English and Portugese. Now I know why, must be confusing. His only complaint about England is his wages, England is arguably safer than Brazil. N'est pas?

[skhal8]

Realmente fiquei impressionado com a interpretação!

MUITO BOA MESMO!

ABRAÇOS

[benj545]

Fantastic. Real talent. Love spanish, visit Birmingham sometime.

[gfelitti]

the original song (and the language that mercedezzz tries to sing so gentely) is in portuguese, buddy

[benj545]

My Grandad used to play the banjo, he was a break man in a coal mine buddy.

[garblojones]

awesome !!!!

[billleboy]

Hi! Mercedezz! Yesterday dead in Brasil! Dorival Caymmi the great composer of this music " Marina" . I think that all brasilians are sad with it. :( beijos do Brasil! 16-08-2008

[portugues335]

es hermoso!!! bellisimo lo que acabo de escuchar, me encanta como tocas y lo disfrute muchisimo, gracias! besos. Pol.

[pmoratori2008]

Poxa, estou emocionado!!!

Linda interpretacao...

Um grande abraco.

[guilhermezapata]

Beautiful!!Beautiful!!Beautifu­l!!!

:)

[juniavent]

YOU are brilliant! :-)

kind regards, Junia Vent

[pripimentel]

I agree with you, she is brilliant! At firs I thought she was brazilian, her accent is just great! congrats! I really likes your voice!

[johnniebwoy]

Charming!

[billleboy]

great song! congratulations from Brasil!

[Coronlaine]

Congratulations! Despite of the fact you're playing the banjo, you look like a brazilian singer! That's amazing.

[portage600]

i did not know the banjo could actually sound good, lol. great rendition of it and the singing is pretty good too

[tiagosmc]

You are wonderfulllllll!!!!

When will you come to Brazil? I want to watch your show!!!! Just amazing. Singing and smiling... Do you know the brazilian singer Elis Regina? I guess you will like her interpretation... She sings and smiles just like you. She recorded Águas de Março (which you also did) with Tom Jobim, check this out later.

One more time, congratulations!!!

[pedog]

Beautiful in every sense! :)

Congratulations!

[jetervaz]

Great interpretation!

I really liked your voice, you probably hear this a lot. But i really like it. he banjo, too. Excelent.

Thank you!

[cjamachado]

As a brazilian, I feel very happy to hear your beautiful american accent singing one of our greatest hits. Congratulations!

[sinvalfonseca]

Hi Mercedezzz! You make any music to be beautiful. Your way of singing is brilliant. Thank you for including our Brazilian music in your repertoire

[telecastercraig]

you have a very beautiful voice, very talented banjo player as well! The real talent is not on T.V anymore!

[farbus]

[oiante]

Sua voz também é muito bonita! Você já pensou em fazer uma parceria com a Anna Clara Matos e com o Swingbossa? Poderia surgir uma grande parceria... Parabens! Your voice is too great! You have ever think in made a partnership with Anna Clara Matos and Swingbossa? This will be a beautiful partnership... Congratulations for this video! (sorry for my horrible english) =]

[bendavidmail]

Great voice! Another song that would fit your style would be "Both Sides Now" by Joni Mitchell.

[chitarra]

Sei meravigliosa!!!!!

[djors]

beautifull and sweet voice.. You got skills on that banjo ..

[emizaelmoura]

Very amazing and touching voice!!!

[vampiroclodomiro]

[dmckean44]

[kingofthe5string]

[unemployedfreak]

So young, somehow so old (timeless); .

[dumdumdesign]

I can imagine myself sitting in a cafe - having a cuppa, watching the sunset while enjoying this music right now. U should feel proud - ur music made lotsa ppl happy.

[Baculus]

Wow, a very cool song. I listen to a lot of varied music, and I have no idea what she was playing. It reminded me of a romance gypsy song, and I could picture Django and Stefan playing along with her. And her beauttiful words and visage was a nice touch, to boot!

[cryrocker]

This woman is beautiful, charming, articulate, oozing with personality, confident,at peace with herself a wonderful voice singing as well as speaking and talented aw shucks she almost makes a countryboy from Alabama blush.

[MBilliaert]

[LennartHyland]

Great!!*****

[Smalltallvony]

you play and sing very well! x

[beniborja]

Awesome...I second the emotion of the previous post..you made a brazilian musician smile and cry at the same time!

I happen to be friends with Caymmi´s family , I will forward this to his granddaughter maybe she gets the geeat man himself to watch..wouldn´t that be nice..

keep it coming!

[wedafux]

Girl you should know that when we're so far from home these songs can drive us to laughs and tears at the same time!! thank you soooo much!!!

[dinfo72]

bravo!

[MetalBee666]

a woman playing banjo better than me!? :P

i don't know what ya'll was singin but ye got a great voice.

i wonder if you can do finger pickin/clawhammer style. cause then we could make us some bluegrass together, baby.XD

[cartoonage]

Loved every second of this video. Your singing is

some of the finest and the way you perform such a great

pleasure to watch! - Youtube-team, I need 6* NOW !!

[jjsm15]

glorious :)

your covers change my life.

[rosascarojc]

bravo, linda y talentosa. :D

[annaclaramatos]

Hi mercedez! How are you? I'd like to invite you to watch three new videos I've posted today! In one of them, i think you will enjoy, I'm playing "pandeiro" with a group that plays samba and chorinho! thank you

[dumdumdesign]

very cute :o)

[KVron]

Que bonita voz y con el banjo se escucha muy bien!

[lisamba]

consider this another mash note!

[tomcerveja]

but you're actually... from chicago

guess I guessed it all wrong

^^

[tomcerveja]

mon dieu... amazing

really, banjo plus you... omg

but i really couldn't guess from where you are, I mean, you sound like anna clara's friend (brazillian, then) and you speak english with a veery light accent that I'd say is brazillian too, but you sing portuguese like your hispanophonic (and well, your name is mercedez, after all).

[sugarstyx]

wow just happened to stumble on your video.. your voice is beautiful, you play so well! nice job =] -Lin

[sinvalfonseca]

Hello mercedez!!! as always enchanting!! Their interpretations of the Brazilian music are the best ones that I already saw.

[bernode]

yeah,

your portuguese is pretty good

very nice interpretation

kisses from Brasil

[gunsobk]

I Have to agree with everyone else here ( For me thats very difficult, I like to be different ;) ), You have an exeptionaly beautiful voice....I don´t think I ever heard any of these songs before, but I like what i hear, very very nice....keep up the good work :)

[shanicles]

gonna post again, i like this track THAT much lol. perfect portuguese

[csokolo]

I am in love...with life again....thanks for the boost...

[PianistaItaliano]

Nice playing and beautiful voice!

[fireking345]

WOW....u play alot better with the banjo in this one....u are very adorable and im sure all the guys posted agree...Very sexy voice ^_^

[glaoud]

I have never understood a banjo to accompany this style of song .Your voice(vote) is trés attractive and that hesitates as well as with a guitar. Bravo!

[uking]

Wow i went to Marina - Dorival Caymmi..thanks she's great...as you are of course!

[universalista]

[sonnenberg]

Hey, cutie pie. Lovely song as ever!

I was watching the DVD that comes with Chico Buarque's great new CD... And he had a banjo player sitting in on a tune. I haven't dug into it to find out who it was, etc., but guess who I thought of? That's right! Steve Martin!

Paul

[hopper1]

I love how you put a little swing into this song.

[almeidaal]

Hola Mercedezzz. any time I hear somebody with a voice like yours, or talent, or looks, or personality, i get selfish, and want to say: "Hey, why don't you move over here to Portland, Oregon?". I love what you are doing, and am really glad you post these on YouTube, but would really love to see you live. Any tour plans? Oregon is beautiful....

[mercedezzz]

Haha. Thank you! I kind of grew up in Eugene, actually. My father and cousins still live there and I was thinking about going back this summer for a visit. My uncle/godfather is living in Portland right now too, so you never know! I definitely miss Oregon a lot.

[violaozim]

I'm from Brazil and I'm impressed by your portuguese skills... I never saw a "gringo" sing like that... :)

[SamuraiKATT]

you're brilliant and I love your voice!

[CarlosWagner]

Weeeee!!! Never expected to ever ever hear "Marina" on a banjo... but u know what ? It came up very very veeeery nice! Glad to see other folks around the world get interested in brazilian music... Made me feel good : ) Thanks.. tchau menina Marina!

[zepecheno]

Baci dall'Italia...bella voce!!!

[shanicles]

mercedez, you is the shit, don't let anyone tell you otherwise

[vivajay]

I'm amazed that someone as talented and intelligent as you can forget to pay her heating bill. Just kidding...Great job and charming as always. Keep classy!

[countelmsley]

I love it! Just makes me want to be happy! Great energy as always... You really are like a little sunbeam in a can!

[CL0SETGEEK]

beautiful sound!

[danilooramos]

Você é muito bonita, e canta muito bem.

Um beijo, Danilo.

[HellJim031]

Your portugese is perfect! thanks this sunbeam in this rainy day.

[hardtoregistername]

[marcelo075]

I saw the same vid by anaclara. she is very good. I was happy to find her. but I am amazed that you heard it yesterday and already can perform it so well.  great job!

[AnnieCanada]

Love this Mercedezz What a cool tune.. Very Fun!

[djdevo]

You look so COLD with your scarf... is that for your voice? 

Great job, especially for "not knowing the song yet". 5*

[CuzenicLionel]

hey...like that...nice playing, nice voice, cute girl ;-)

[swingbossa]

Glad I'm' not the only one who has to read the lyrics off the screen....

Very fun version of this song; thanks for turning me on to it, as I didn't know about it either. I second you on the annaclaramatos recommendation! She IS great!

[onuryazgan]

Cool...
