I think this woman has an amazing voice, but needs to learn a more dynamic approach. It would sound so much better if she put more into it and the band stepped up after after the sax solo at about 2:08. The contrast between subtle and head smashing would be awesome.
@colmonic I completely agree. Girl has a crazy set of pipes, but a more dynamic overall approach would serve her better. It's all about her breathing, and not going full on chest voice all the time....
this isnt a slow sad song this is a soulful and real song so however your soul cries out thats how you sing it this is a good version i like the Ray Charles version better but thats just me
man look i jus feel out the damn seat. i first heard this song when i was 7 and i've never heard sung like that before. i must say that is very nice and i would listen to her all the time.
She's throwing her voice around too much. She wants to impress with her voice instead of the pain of the song. Whatever happened to great lady singers who had great voices - like Warfield - but knew how to settle their voices when necessary? Not overly impressed. I'm not feeling the song, only the vibrations of her voice.
hmm hate to moan bout this it's an amazing song with so much deep feelings when ray sings it as he had been there and still was when recording this. As much as olivia's voice is just stunning and it's a nice somg there is far to much playing around with the melody and wobbbling around it kind of detracts from the song :S
I like the red girl behind Olivia, too. Ladies and Gentlemen, it's a Nord Electro ;) the David that still kills a lot of Goliaths. Amazing music, talent and vibes. 5 stars performance.
Gave me chills! Over and over again!

A mix of Blues, Jazz and Gospel Great! You don't ever hear singers singing with feeling anymore just that shallow, hollow pop/hiphop, too bad.
