If you don't sing this song with the appropriate spirit, no matter how good voice you have, you miss the whole thing. I think that her interpretation would be better if she had followed her own instinct instead of 'specialist' Tony Benett's meaningless advices.
She can carry a tune. Pretty good singer. The difference between someone who develops what they have (as this young woman has) and someone like Mr. Bennett (for example) who was simply born with a remarkable voice is the the difference between a great artist and someone singing at the airport Ramada...Ya can't touch the gift. You're just born with it...
No, I dunno. I disagree totally. I think he totally misguided her on that one. In the original, Fats makes the joke WORK because he's vocally flirting with various myriad chickadees around his piano, and it's kinda stupid to destroy the cattiness of that joke by such a rigid interpretation. Tony Bennett was wrong. Dead wrong.
She's actually has been my myspace friend for about 1 year now. I'm glad that she could make it this far. I hope she will be one of the top 2 finalists to win the American Idol 2007 title.
she's so beautiful and sexy, with a nice voice, but no match in the vocals for Jordan Sparks.

PS: I post here the original intoductory verse, which is usually omitted, in order to have an idea of Fats Waller's spirit:
'Though it's a fickled age
with cheating and all the rage
here is one bird with self control
happy inside his cage
though I know who I love best
thumbs down for all the rest
my heart is given heart and soul
so it can stand a test
No one to talk with...

nope, the performance style doesn't match the song. But the voice is good though.

If you see any video of Fats Waller singing this song he allways says "for you and you and you".

he actually says "for you...for you...for you" which is a bit different and is directed only at one person :)
