I also don't understand the negative comments. I think you'd have to be fresh from admiring the original version to appreciate it maybe.
Anyways, this is top notch-- would be cool if someone could arrange it for orchestra and she could be backed by at least a string orch (could see oboe or english horn on the sax part.)
Extremely high pitched female singing is not something I enjoy at all. But I do love DMB, and I'll say that this lady has some incredible talent. I didn't listen to the whole thing though, because soprano opera is just too painful for my ears. However, if she were to guest live at a DMB show and sing "Spoon" with Dave like the BTCS recording, I'd definitely listen to that!!!
I have a question. How can anybody dislike this? They must be the people who owned the piano at one time and sold it to her or something. I don't know I give up.
I am very thankful to find this. An extreme DMB fan I appreciate all tributes to DMB but often they can fall short while rich with passion. I found this version so refreshing. I would love to hear her sing "Sister"
Fascinating interpretation. Love the mix of the operatic style with a contemporary work. I, too, would love to hear her and Dave together on this song.
This girl can flat out sing! I have never heard any pop singer hit notes like those and I have never heard an Opera singer with such feel for contemporary music . A truly unique talent . Give us more!
Good performance. It's interesting how she adapts her opera training to pop, how she is able to switch off her diaphram and sing in a Joni Mitchell style soprano rather than operatic soprano.
OMG, you bring tears to my eyes. More of this, please.
