omg, her voice is amazing! even as a brazilian, i think it's better than in caetano veloso's voice, but in portuguese the lyrics are more beautiful, how i love "bossa nova"! look for "caetano veloso- samba de verão" ... do americans know it's a brazilian song?
This song is another one of those songs that people love to critique because they think the cover from "their" time-period is better. I would love to see any of you naysayers do better! Personally, I think this is a lovely cover done with confidence, control, emotion and feeling....Qualities I am quite sure the naysayers don't possess!
Very well said. Julia Louis-Dreyfus does an outstanding job on Summer Samba. This is not an easy song to sing -- she's dead-on key and tempo. It'd be nice to see NBC release a CD from the Watching Ellie series.
I play and sing this song. Unusual, sophisticated phrasing. You can't imagine how hard it is to get it right. Yes, she sings it 500 times better than I do.
Not bad. She does cheese it up a bit is some of her phrasing. This song should never be sung with sarcasm. It is not a cheesy lounge song it is a light but sophisticated brazilian ballad.
Maybe you need to be less offended by his moniker and appreciate his SUPERIOR aesthetic faculties. I happen to agree with him. Perhaps you're too stupid to hear the playfull sarcasm in her phrasing?
playfull, sure. but i still don't think its sarcasm, more a cheekiness which for some i can appreciate is not fitting with this song, your right actually. what a stupid thing to get bothered by.
You are absolutely Correct Sir. This song is way too cheesy and sarcastic. Exactly Right! Now, having said that, she does have a wonderful voice and wonderful tone also. For anyone who knows, this song is a sad song. A lonely girl who is trying to stay positive. "Someone to samba through life with me" "That would be So NICE" This Is a very sad a lonely lyric" A great lyric that should not be sung like Mae West. "ooooh, ooooh" Millionaire Julia Dreyfus is not a sincere person.

You get it! I am so impressed with you. Sometimes I feel as though I'm the only person on the planet who's awake and then comments like yours remind me that I'm not alone. She's a rich girl who couldn't possibly understand the meaning in the song so divorced from want or loneliness or reality for that matter.
Two idiots. You comment like you know the character when in reality you never seen the show. Julia is not Ellie. If you know much about loneliness in your real life it is because you never listened to your partner. Again a short sighted moron. Sad excuse for a human being. Try to grow up before you die,please.

Boneless Sausage, it's not our fault that your mother and father beat you as a child about the head and face with a giant kilbasa thus retarding you aesthetic and intellectual faculties. Those "Long walks on mars" are no doubt a veiled refference to the hallways in the mental ward you have been a patient in since your early teens.
I find it revealing of your personality that you bring up mental health issues and sexual issues when they were not brought up forth prior. I guess you are doing a little reflection. At least you have a small idea of your shortcomings, which are many. Ed
@Velvet4U just because she is a millionaire, she can't be sincere.. what a stupid thing to say! anyway, you can call this song sad, i understand, but i see in it and julia also someone looking for in a dreamful way, happy and even playful. "Each little dream in me" this person, to me, still believes in people and that she will find love.. it's a cheeky dreamer, not a sad person *-*
She was just trying to be original, not do an impression of someone else.
