  • This is definitely the only rendition of this song that combines the rhythm, the percussive piano, the character, the volume, the clarity and unrequited longing, and just...overall beautiful grit that this piece deserves. Huge kudos. Huge.

  • @theduhdoodstm Thanks!

  • This is the best I've seen so far! There's a lot of great singers just singing it, but you act it and sing it very well, it's amazing! I'm auditioning with this for my theatre school's season, and I'm basing it off of your version. Thanks!

  • @JanaG WOW, Thanks! What school do you go to?

  • Oh, wow. That was amazing. I'm going to a performance of The Threepenny Opera in a few months, and if their interpretation is half as good as yours, I'll be pleased. I'm glad you have it up in character, too, because most of the versions on YouTube are of people just singing the song, and making the song really boring and lifeless, compared to yours which made me feel like the music had a life of its own. Bravo!

  • Thank You so much! It was a lot of fun to perform.

  • Great great job! I really enjoyed your singing-intense but unpretentious. I checked out Ute Lemper -ugh! and all the others on YouTube. The song is hard to sing because it's mostly spoken, you kept the pace and made it unified.

  • This is easily the most enjoyable version that I've heard. It may not have the soul of simone or any of the other classic standards, but it's delivered with more passion and performance than nearly any other version I've seen. Bravo!

  • Sweet holy god, this is the best I've ever heard it.

  • I've been through almost all the Pirate Jenny's on You Tube (all night now) and have to say this is definately tops - marvelous voice with stunning personality!

  • Grande momento!

  • It's a small fine/liberal arts school called Sir Wilfred Grenfell College in Newfoundland, Canada.

  • Awesome stuff!
