Jill Barber Chances

[colourfulwithaU]

Canada has good artists if you really look for them... : ) I <3 you, Jill!

[thinkyourright]

I'd like to add that this is also a very beautiful video.

[thinkyourright]

Exactly.. What are the chances I would find you Jill Barber? None to nil in the real world.

[thinkyourright]

I don't know what too say. I mean, this is just, well just let me mirror what hafftrak said above. But add oodles of love cause I have oodles of love for this gal. How refreshing is this gal in this day and age of the crappy music out there.. Oh Jill Jill Jill, how I adore you

[MegaGlitzyGirl]

I got to meet her and got a cd signed, yaa be jello

[myles0fsmiles]

CBC Radio rocks! Go Jill :)

[TerryBroadworth]

I heard her on Paradise Radio out of California... funny it takes a foreign station to promote our own.... delightful songs and arrangements...

[brookeestarr]

found this song off of degrassi! <3 :)

[InuvikPhil]

Such a beautiful song!

[tragictwistoxity]

Love these kinds of songs!!!!!!!

[shatyseerighthoughya]

this was like my first song i ever listen to befor i liked her music <3

[LaFilleDeLaRue]

...also a bit reminiscent of Melody Gardot's voice. Jill's voice is very unique and very nice!

[LaFilleDeLaRue]

What an interesting and unusual voice. Reminds me a bit of Eartha Kitt's sound. ;-)

[glazeflash]

Just returned from her performance at the Massey Hall in Toronto with Michael Kaeshammer...both are truly amazing

[Marklewisdes]

The new album "Mischeivous Moon" is truly AWESOME!!

[arieftaufiks]

quite remembering me of one scene in "Saving Private Ryan", when the US Army waiting to ambush the German Tiger tanks ...

[goldis21]

Nice and sultry, sultry and nice !

[TheCuzincreators]

She is amazing..I love classical music brought back to lifee <3

[openhead]

she is making music like absolutely nobody else today. i'm smitten by her voice.

[bubbah671]

Thank you Stuart Mcclean and Dave.

[iluvme121]

very odd experience of getting to know the person Jill before i became acquainted with her music, they are both perfectly lovely :)

[afnypoo]

@iluvme121 me too!

[petewingnut]

Is this a real old song or is it just written to sound retro?

Great voice.

[Shoknifeman]

@petewingnut its a new song made to sound old

[HellYeahhhhhh]

Saw her at a show last summer. Was a nice show. She's very cute. And she even talked to the crowd in French as much as she was capable of. Great artist.

[InuvikPhil]

Jill Barber in Dawson City for the music festival. Now that was a concert!

[tanyaahogan]

fun song would love to hear her sing this with another fella do a live presentation of it with ...a fella in a red suit ..and sweet guitar another on drums.. green pants .. oh and another fella with an amazing upright bass :) Muse ... tah

[tanyaahogan]

would love to hear her with Matt .. Bellamy

[paular8706]

charming.

[UnamedKing]

... i wished she would do kiss of fire O.O

[lovergurlz10001]

saw her live amazing

[dylanhayden]

Saw her singing last night with the Kingston Symphony at Fort Henry...what a nostalgic performance!

[colossusrising]

omg, I thought she was a little known singer from the 50's or 60's, just like timi yuro or somebody like that....WOW!!!! and thanks a billion for uploading..

[descott2]

I performed this song with her in Saint John! she is super kind and talented! =D

[daysleeper236]

I can't listen to this song anymore without hearing "Chances, what are the chances that I'd find Q" (from the promo she did for Jian Ghomeshi on CBC Radio).

[InuvikPhil]

@daysleeper236

Yes! I remember that...and I think the background singers were singing "Q-ee-oo.."

great music

[PenelopeAmelia]

love her

[bliss4jules]

I just fell head over heels in love.

[focus0063]

the best singer / songwriter in Canada today...period!!!!

[Krinisty]

Oh man, I just heard her for the first time doing Oh my my! Holy crap she's awesome! Love the feel to her music! Love Oldness in her soul! Amazing!

[princessprinceless]

does anyone know how to download this song on mp3? I cant find it anywhere

[1st300bp]

are the synchro swimmers from the halifax aqua novas or atlantis club??? or was the video made in ontario?

[rda4265]

Jill, I love your music. No surprise, but "Chances" is the one I love the most. It was the first song I ever heard of yours and I was hooked. I tried checking up coming tours you have and could find nothing in Ontario, let alone in the Niagara Region that I could make it too. (Disability).

[Shoknifeman]

Try the CBC Vinyl Cafe website, she usually tours with them on the concerts!

[Bapasay]

Puts me in mind of post WWII music and songs, probably is one from that era,just beautiful.

[outsidemusic1]

The song was actually released in 2008 on Jill Barber's album 'Chances'.

[doverbeach714]

no it's only a couple of yrs old. but i love "period" songs too!

[funnyfrog11]

@Bapasay lol dude the vids in too high a quality to not be from the last 10 years :P

[Xloi63]

@Bapasay

She is a wonderful singer, wo tries to emulate that style of music. Its quite recent in fact

[Pucamann]

Stunning. Her voice sends shivers down my spine. . .in a good way!

[bestomaever]

What a beautiful voice. I love Jill Barber!!!

[wolvryn100]

Gorgeous voice. very much 21st century Edith

[judaschrist26]

Her voice is a haunting mix of Marianne Faithful and Edith Piaffe...Love it!

[blupheonix44]

What a voice!

Great genre for her voice too.

[laugsmilelovehorses]

I saw her live yesterday at Stewart McLean at hamilton place. she is soooo goood! loooveee her voice !

[fajrdrako]

Saw her tonight in Ottawa - brilliant! She did a beautiful version of "I'll Be Home for Christmas". Wonderful voice.

[zencanuck]

er...Matt Anderson.

*puts beer down*

[zencanuck]

Jill and Matt Cameron were both amazing. Her voice is so distinctive.

I'm a new fan.

[ukiedrums]

I saw her yesterday at the Stuart McLean concert in Toronto, just awesome! Now I have a new favourite album to listen to when I'm out walking. What makes it all even more special is how pleasant she was when we met briefly as she autographed my CD. And how about Drew Jurecka, his string arrangements on this are magical.

[carpetliquor]

I love the girl ,the song and the video

[hafftrak]

Really refreshing & a brave move on a newcomer in the music industry doing a song like this. Amazing she's pulled it off with such class & dazzle. Her voice is unique & fits this song perfectly. She reminds me of Connie Francis with a Patsy Cline feel. Absolutely hats off to Jill Barber for doing this song. She also just oozes innocent sex appeal in this video that truly gives her a different look than her other videos. Keep it coming Jill. We just love you here in Canada!!!!

[InuvikPhil]

I had the chance of seeing Jill Barber at the Yukon music festival What a night that was!

This song is a new classic

[shoppinggirl125]

Lovely song but she's like making out with herself.

[farleyriver]

rofl i see what you mean

[TatarInExile]

Sublimely BEAUTIFUL !!

Thanks for posting.

[macallmighty]

[macallmighty]

[GenevieveGarbutt]

Love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jiakabai]

A voice that kills...totally

[genia106]

WONDERFUL!

Great SONG!

Love her voice and the video!

[Shoknifeman]

She's currently touring with the Vinyl Cafe again, where I first heard of her.

[MissKittenKlaws]

Beautiful. Wish there was a video on here of "Be My Man"

[DarkStormyOne]

lol, found on showcase.

beautiful voice!

[MrDusty696969]

to glenna love john

[SarahLJonsson]

God me looove her!

[bawpbawp]

awesome!

[hacksquat]

I saw the video on showcase too and i must say I love it ... You may not like this particular type of song but doesn't make it gay or unnecessary. Such a voice!

[maryjane9040]

Why do people have to use the word gay like that ? very sad.

[SigSkyline]

First time I heard of her was this music video last night on Showcase.

Immediately hooked.

[DoobieKing420]

i saw it at the same time my friends, my sediments exactly

[KooKooMan123456]

gay

[SigSkyline]

Unnecessary.

[SigSkyline]

Aimed at KooKooMan.

The video and song were superb.

[pleibel]

I loved her the first time I heard her... what a beautiful Woman! What a sexy voice!

[limabeing]

sweet love her style, voice love her

[Shoknifeman]

I usually dont care for Ballads but, I just love this song!

[heatseeker2112]

Jill was born in the wrong era I think but she is bringing that era back to us.

[U20II3H]

It's always the right era for such a talent.

[rallyKia]

I wore my fedora while listening... just felt right.

[babybear2071]

Thank you for your reply about the album. I will have to get it.

[babybear2071]

I love love love this song. I have goosebumps. She is wonderful. Does anyone have the album? Is it as good as this song?

[tornandbruised]

The album is fantastic, one of the best I've ever heard. Every song is amazing.

[neorunt]

Wow.

This breaks my heart.

What a unique talent.

[ds1961ds]

A song that you love from the first time you hear it.

a Wonderful voice..... a great delivery.....

[JennDahl75]

Wow...I can't wait to see her live at the FolkFest next weekend!!

[TheBoxerAcademy]

I love the nostalgic feel to it, her voice is wonderful :)

[teetergirl3]

one of the most beautiful albums. Jill as beautiful in person as she is here - she is the reason to be proud of Canadian music!

Our family loves Jill!!!!

[laemmle]

this is awful. honestly. cliches. tiny tim vocals. there are other options for women than turning back the clock so stylistically and culturally.

there are much much better examples of this kind of music.

this is a waste of tax money. oh and jill is really a nice person. I know her.

I just don't like her music.

[poshmum]

Laemmle cliches maybe, but this is wonderful if you open your mind, as far as I can see that could be hard for you ... Jill Barber is a gift and I love it.

[whimsical24]

such a unique beautiful voice!!!!! truly a talented singer - she makes jazz proud

[Shoknifeman]

This song is another reason I love Canada ^_^

[xenophile1956]

It's a real treat. One of those albums I play over and over for a few days. She wrote all the material herself, or so the liner notes indicate. If I still cared about such things, I would think that this would be quite potent seductive music for the right person.

[mtmuller]

only music i ever bought off itunes!

[with3yougeteggroll]

Jill's voice is candy coated and dipped in sweet syrup. Love it! One of the few cd's I have actually bought in ages.

[drewgraing]

Jill Barber is the most beautiful woman ever.

She sings like an angel.

[Decedant]

This song reminds me alot of the 50's era.

Beautiful singing, great lyrics. Definitely one of my favorite.

[dandielizzie]

First time I heard this beautiful song was on the CBC as well. Listening full blast and driving along the highway in Muskoka. Wonderful! Downloaded this song from ITUNES Canada. Just something about this song that I cannot get out of my head. Great song, interesting video.

[Shoknifeman]

First heard this on the Vinyl Cafe.....thought it was a real 50s ballad!!!

LOVE IT! :D
