Nice voice. Too bad the songs all sound alike. So much monotone and it's too fine a voice to do the one trick pony thing.

this character didn't sing this song when i saw it in los angeles. not bad, here, though.

fun, fun, fun

struggling for voice? if so, then it's understandable about the head movements. probablly helped keeping on keeping on. those pauses in the phrases clear are an indication of some problems with the vocal. the woman deserved to be appreciated for keeping on and making the most of the best/wors...

Wonderful voice and presentation, but was the costume a requirement. Wish I'd had a voice like yours when I took vocal classes in school? Thank you for your work.

Wish he had lowered his vocalizing a bit. He sounded too twiity and weak here.

lousy teeth

Do you take voice lessons? I bet a good coach could get you to extend your range to get those lower notes. Good luck with your singing,

Why do most of the videos that amateurs create to this song have the girls in those double pony tails growning out of the sides of heads? Did girls over the age of 12 ever really have those except at Halloween? Ha, ha. ha.

Buck Owens did this way back when. Anybody know where to get a copy of that one? If you have it, please put it up on youtube, even if it's just the audio. Thanks.

so much of the gospel of aretha is in this - the phrasing and that special edge. mavis staples is the best at this for keeping the foster sound to it, but this is very moving and is sure to have reached a huge audience, too.

These videos are wonderful. Find a singer that you admire and then watch and learn.

How do they use their facial muscles? Breathing, body usage, etc. You will learn so much by watching and observing closely and practicing what you see.

Enjoy the free technique lessons. A picture or a perfo...

whatever happened to these folk? anybody know? they'd do well playing in a strip joint or a beer and pretzles club. not bad, just not for this song. the audience liked 'em so maybe seeing 'em live was a treat. the cheapo videos put on youtube don't always pick up sound or picture at all well...

@fablespinner I hope you are still singing. If you've given up for a time please take some vocal classes. A wonderful voice like yours can get back to where it was with exercises and training. You might be surprised to find yourself better than you were even back at the age of 17. What are y...

Anybody know when this was recorded?

She's joking here, right? Those flat and sharp notes out of place are deliberate for comedy, right? The off lyrics, well, okay,,but the off timing, phew. Good thiing it's a capella, She should stick to her money music in public and leave this sort of stuff for the shower. Sweet voice, but ....

For some reason true basses don't do this one too often.. It's about "Oh, let me die!" so you'd think it would be a bass and dark one to do. Ha Ha. This is often done as a class recital piece.

Not one of Cher's best song interpretations, but she was so stylish and impressive to look at (and loud, ha ha) that the singing could be overlooked. I am a fan of Cher, by the way, diphthongs, phony accent and all. Waht a great package overall!

and she sounded so much like Dionne Warwick on this one, too. Maybe that's why she did so many covers of songs that Dionne Warwick did. This one she might have done before Warwick, but the style was definitely the Bacharach and David sound. I prefer that little edge that Warwick had, but th...

@555kappock Liked Judd, but you have to acknowledge that the upper notes were a bit difficult for her in that performance. Warwick here is singing in a lower key than the original. Takes the edge from the emotional content, to be sure. This is a wonderful that worked for so many singers and se...

I agree about the song. It's enough to make for gagging. We did mute it. Much nicer without it.

I guess I missed it. What happened to the video portion?

Funny, really. I wish it could have been done in black and white in the manner of some of those "special effects" movies of the silent era. All in all, well done, though. Whosomesoever put this together deserves an "A" for amusing the audience in an innocent, fun way.

Skellig is my favorite of all of the work of the Loreena Mckennitt musicians and the blend of scenes here with this music is superb. Of course, there's a true gift here even if it was just the music. One can close one's eyes, just listen and be transported to a personal mystical place. To tho...

@captainlockheed214 Good grief! The Melanie Safka voice would be superb with the Sondheim song "Send In The Clowns", As a matter of fact she'd be wonderful as a character in a Sondheim musical. Never did think of it before, but your reference to "time to send in the clowns" made for a great...

Are those the Dandridgesisters as part of the dancing chorus? Sure likes like them. Does anyone have that info? Great offering here, by the way. Thank you.

Is this sound at all present anywhere in today's music world. I know recording techniques affected what was heard, but this sound sure is feel good Dixieland Jazz and it would be great to hear this in the real world. A blast from the past maybe not possible, but a music lover can dream a bit. ...

@fromthesidelines Ann Blythe was a very wonderful singer, but her style was not that of Helen Morgan.

Check out the film "Kismet" or a few of Blythe's other musicals. Gogi Grant wasn't at all like Helen Morgan either.

Whoever dubbed wouldn't have captured Morgan. This version is great, but no...

Really precious. When was this recorded?

With pipes like that I'll bet she didn't really need a mic. As a matter of fact the set up probably lessened the performance. She put guts into the strength of this aria that many other women didn't achieve. Wow! In case you can't tell, I really like this. Never heard of her until seeing this...
