I never knew that she was on the Secret life of the American Teenager till tonight!!!

unbelievable.

[erenowlovexX]

this is a great cover. i loveee her

[tigerztuff]

AWESOME!

.

STILL STANDING should have had her sing, the song, in 'school', around the house.

.

I just fell in love with a VOICE!

[dancemachine1919]

she did sing this song on still standing. it starts off w/ her singing it while she's cleaning or something like that then she goes into a dream sequence and imagines performing it around the house.

[alancito86]

Renee is young and talented. I know she's going to be one of the greatest jazz stars ever. She's beautiful too!

[jobywonkanobi]

god damn this girl has some pipes. this is true talent not that look at me i can sing pop like every other teen starlet on disney miley cyrus,hilary duff, lindsey lohan bullcrap.

[Meakx]

What an incredible singer haha. She's got such a girl voice on Still Standing, but I must say she is one of the most talented singers I've heard.

[Sammy200655294]

great great voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[angecanni]

Wow!

[treyofice1011]

have you seen her ass NICE

[Kennethtamara]

Incredible! So young yet she understands jazz phrasings so much.

[Dorbitz2]

This girl has a great "jazz" voice, hope to see much more of her. She is really good now, can only imagine her in a few more years. Will watch this one.

[Fonzi79]

I don't know why they cancelled Still Standing cause that so was sooo funny!

[Fonzi79]

Never knew she sung until one of the episodes see sung and I was like WOW then until I looked up infor on Still Standing and said she had 5 albums out that were successful!

[Kari166]

Her voice is a little nasally, and I like it! It kind of adds...SOMETHING to this song. (can't put my finger on it)

[phackdaphish12]

her voice is so amazing. it is so fit to sing the american standards when other popular have tried to pull them off.

[thesaraness]

she's so young.. born 1989 (19 now?)

[truegritwayne]

she is on the new show the secret life of the

american teenager

[CherchezMoi]

Omg....not good at all.

[AliLovesPickles]

Woah, she's really good! How old is this girl? Didn't she play one of the dauters in Grounded for Life and I think she's in The Secret Life of the American Teenager.

[SuperStreet04]

19 years old and she played in the tv show still standing

[antoniozegarra89]

she was actually on "still standing" i think..but she definetely didn't play on "grounded for life"

[janstins1]

leuk is dit, he ?

[bobthwart]

no. I love this girl, but....no

[Sawadee37]

Ech gut! Sie ist eine tolle sangerin!! Ich will ihre CD!!!!

[rockamary]

Boy I was glad to hear this video. I saw other live vids of her and I wasn't super impressed. It seemed like her other live songs were shaky, and I was kind of disappointed thinking that she was being produced to death in the studio. This video proved that she's as good in real life as she is in the studio....and that's a good thing. There aren't a lot of young artists that are as good live as they are on their totally doctored c.d.s. Yay Renee!

[vampirbloodlust]

shes a good actress, too

you should see her on "still standing"

[mryou]

I really like her, but how about she stops to copy and starts making "new" things like ella or billie did back in the days ... you know, make something more out of yourself and not just revive(copy) old things ...

[asjkl18]

Marry me !!!

[alfredtowers]

Simplemente Renee es excelente

[Lakebny]

Oh my gosh ... my Dad [who is now 75] is a jazz musician and in ALL my years, I NEVER heard any of his female singers sound as wonderful as she does.

[ailaeldora]

well.. zooey deschanels voice does top this girls in remarks to jazz and oldies.. Zooeys voice has got that quality..

but in a few years renee's may be equally good..who knows.

[bomborela]

cooooool :)

[bailon707]

god she has such a great voice and shes sooo beautiful i hope she don't end up like all the other stupid ass bitches out there keep it real renee ur beautiful...

[shrinkbcoz]

Renee please send Miley Cyrus home ! Hanna montana caused the subprime crisis :(

[bublaikenchal23]

Miley Cyrus sucks! Renee Olstead is TRUE talent!

[lavitaebella25]

totally agree!

[S3bastianCee]

Hell yeah

[RO005]

I LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!! i wanna b like her lol :P

[hutch1nson]

I bought her record in Singapore, it was on in the shop.....when I was told she was only 16 at the time, it was mindblowing....she has a remarkable voice.....I agree watch out Britany

[PHYSCO331]

you better get off drugs britney you will be forgotten with her around

[ejworthy]

Smokin hot!

[kirostyle]

i love it !

[jackloupin]

i bought her CD 3 years ago

her voice's really amazing!!

[fergothemule]

WOW awesome!!

[roink51]

Such amazing style and phrasing for such a young performer! She is right up there with the great jazz songstresses.

[syriadandsora]

this is what you call a singer

[KryptonsSon]

She sings better then almost every popstar^^

[UnholySteff]

yeah she can sing but it just this!

[RegrindQueen]

Watch her sing "Someone to Watch Over Me".. its pretty great too.

[khuffstutler]

her version is my favorite I think!!

[Teinachmerlin]

She must be about 17 here if this was a year ago. I saw her Friday night at a Neil Sedaka tribute in NYC at Lincoln Center. David Foster, who introduced her and has produced some of her stuff, said she is 18. She was incredible the other night. She played the daughter, last year, in the cancelled tv show Still Standing.

[oboefan]

WOW....

[imartynov]

Love her interpretation. Really jazzy

[paulostroff99]

Unique and so interesting!

[edmonmata]

she is so cute i like her

[arrowhead15]

the piano in the beginning doesnt really match the words

[kyle0127]

Thats the point....

[geriatryk007]

very nice:) i realy like her :) bardzo ładny głosik :) i sliczna buzia :)

[shejean]

[gmot745]

Who the FREAKIN HELL is Jack Tunnstle GOD DAMB IT?........jeeez

[ColeKreviazuk]

i hope she doesn't go far, but keeps doing the wonderful thing she does. making it big just leads to inflation today.

[biojc88]

18 years old? wow she`s m y idol !!!

[aznsinger5866]

no shes was only 14 at that time. AMAZING.

[SHines01]

Right-O. must be related to Ann-Margaret. Hope she stays away from drugs

[kyle0127]

No she is 17 at this time....

[one4two5]

I first heard her the other night on the radio doing a rendition of "What a Difference a Day Makes"...blew my socks off. What a voice, distinctive, and creative. Incredible

[asianfire7]

shes such a good singer!!!

[aaronreina]

I love the way she puts emphasis on certain words and notes, it adds PERSONALITY to the song, and you can feel the emotion!!! Yeah all the "popular" singers such as Brittany Spears (who fell off) and Jessica Simpson (who was never on) NEED to be seen in the spot light with all the publicity because their talent, or shall i say, LACK THERE OF, CANNOT STAND ALONE. Renee Olstead need not be extremely famous for her talent to shine through and stand alone.

[katrinahater]

i wish i could find the video of her singing on tv on still standing...i saw it once but i couldnt find it again....if you ever find it plz let me no it would mean so much plz plz plz plz!!!

[gregalanmoore]

Just enjoy it. I look forward to her redition in 5 to 8 years. Good lord she is only 17. their is no way she should be able to connect with jazz emotion the way she has at 17. The best is yet to come

[Bannikus27]

LOL she's been singing this good since age 13 at least. Beautiful face,figure,and voice...perfection all around :-)

[lXlAdOdOlXl]

shes great??? GREAT SHES AWESOME!!! n georgous!! love her voice!!! ;(

[jazzmeri]

she is so great!!

[mirtuel26]

you are so right arrowhead15

[ace2567]

Her voice is so pretty... I love this song!!!

[arrowhead15]

i think her singing voice sounds like a really old lady

[passingthrough13]

p.s the previous were directed to the spaz mary

SPAZ!

[passingthrough13]

what are you stupid!!

shes built for jazz, if you dont think she is what else could she sing this well?!?

[dietergrosse]

she has a great voice, and this is a beautiful song, but i dont think her voice is for jazz music

[ba0ng0c]

Aahhh, I'm in love with this version. x333

[dudeman1399]

no she doesn't...she hits a strange passing tone but not off key...3:14 is amazing though

[mary0114]

At 1:04 she goes completely off key.

[ColdSoda1]

There was nothing wrong with the note choice there. It was done accurately and in the correct style for this song.

[cbminfo]

You mean she isn't lip synching ?

[russha717]

The nailed that note! Singing is so hard, because their are "jazz" notes that sound dissatint, but are in key. It takes someone very special to hit that note...talent always finds a way.

[smile678]

she has a lovley vocie i thought she was much older

[bartyllal94]

i love her i know her cousin

[faith1880]

Breath if fresh air...She puts her own spin on it which is great...

[emnagwyn]

Sê bem vinda, Renee, ao nosso blogue

[lorinhl]

I think she's awesome. Considering what many people think is "music" in today's world, she is a real breath of fresh air. I think she's talented and beautiful and I'm thrilled my 8 year old daughter likes her. Hard to imagine that Brittany gets so much attention when truly talented people without all the baggage exist. Renee is the real deal. Thanks for posting this.

[pihmorais]

uauuuu!

[mary0114]

It doesn't matter, Etta or Ella, she still sounds like she's singing through her nose. No, I'm not famous, like that means anything.

[jea49]

it is a certain way of singing, it doesn't even sound like shes singing through her nose. She has a beautiful voice and is very talented unlike you i'm sure and no you don't have to be famous just not tone deaf.

[orchidlizard]

Gah she's amazing!!

[Tillman1372]

Um... first of all.. it's Etta's famous song.. ella sings it, but it's Etta James... duh.. and Renee olstead was doing a different variation... excuse anyone for changing a few notes... give her a break. she's 17!!! I mean Sanjaya is still on American Idol.. he's 17... puke... Renee has true talent, and that's something that's missing in people like Britney Spears and Jessica Simpson... so... boo hoo... why aren't u famous mary?

[mary0114]

Her very first notes are so off key. And her voice is very weak and nasally compared to the great Ella. There's just no comparison here.

[Daizy34]

Are you totally tone deaf?She is incredible!

[passingthrough13]

OMG you're a fool, why are you comparing two polar opposites spaz?! just cause you prefer one doesnt make the other worse

god

[rastude12]

WOW! what a talent for her age!

[brothadude]

DAmn!!

[sposa99]

wow, i love her

[promobob]

right now, she's the closest thing to a real live Jessicca Rabbit we have.

[bernd1356]

Since the first time I heared from her, I`m fascinated. What for a voice and performance in this early years! The CD is one of my favorites. Has anybody a DVD from her?

[kuchkuch992004]

you might be able to find 2005 montreux jazz festival dvd online. she also performed during the live 8 campaign in Berlin.

[kuchkuch992004]

can't wait for her new cd "SkyLark". it was supposed to be released in August but now has been posponed to Feb 2007.

[Haley65]

She's great!

[kuchkuch992004]

I like this version better too, perhaps its got to do with how much emotion she puts into the song when performing live.

[SilverShadow08]

i love this live version. i personally believe it is better than the track on cd.

[courts94]

my friend is her cousin!shes awesome
