  • Emily, your brilliance stuns all. Every time I listen I get inspired but at the same time dumbfounded. Strive for greatness in the musical world, and don't let anyone or anything take you down.

  • You have to remember that this is all through the mind of a child who has not matured. That makes what she does all that more amazing. So much of jazz style incorporates life experiences. Her life is just beginning with very little of the ups and downs that add the melancholy or exhilaration of older performers. I like what she does. It is so innocent. As she said, "I guess it comes from my heart."

  • A musician myself, with almost 20 years of live experience, I've heard "Ipanema" played by probably a 1000 musicians, and I can't think of ANYONE who would have injected the same freshness and personality into it as Emily. She probably just hasn't had other people fill her head with restricting musical "ideals." Truly a free (musical) spirit!

  • @1laoman Have to agree with you!! Her interpretations are every bit as good as her compositions - pure genius! She takes "classic" compositions and completely makes them her own. It's pretty wonderful!!!

  • I have heard other versions of this song.......

    BUT Emily's is the BEST!!!!!!!!!!
