for me the best 3 female singers ever . astred gilberto,peggy lee and my #1julie london.i know many will disagree and many will disagree. but not by much.these 3 are truly special.
Je sais que j'exagère, mais cette interprétation de Dona Astrud ;-) n'est pas à classer parmi les références de la Bossa. On dirait qu'elle lit la liste des courses, avec un air encore plus ennuyeux que d'habitude. On comprend la critique envers une certaine Bossa-Nova bourgeoise et... molle, il faut bien le dire, d'ailleurs c'est le cas ici, en tous cas, moi j'entends une femme qui s'ennuie !
The Plaintive Voice of Astrud Gilberto - Conveys to ME ~~ a lot of meaningful sensitive ~~> Not found any more - SADLY
Now the Band drowns out the Singer & NOBODY LISTENS to LYRICS... anymore.
THUS - meaningful Lyrics are no longer WRITTEN (Except for RAP - which I don't really count as music BUT CHANTED THOUGHTS ~~> Usually not worth listening to either.
When a married couple no longer have love for each other an they just hang on because of the kids, or money...this is the perfect song....how insensitive.....
I love STING's version of this piece of Sergio Mendez as well!!!

the irony of the title of the song, considering how "sensitive" a singer is Astrud!!! Fabulous rendition!!

That's ok, some people just don't "get" Astrud. The loss is theirs, but that's the way it goes.

I probably prefer the version Stan Getz did with Maria Toledo and Luis Bonfa on their album "Jazz Samba Encore", but this is terrific too.
