Thank you, Jorial. You did a great job with your video. I really appreciate fans like you who keep me out there for others to discover.

This is great, I first thought this was a remix, but this is you singing, very good. You have another fan:)

Jade I have respect for you as an artist and as a performer! But it's the producers choice I have a problem with not you! You rock As far as your capability is concerned no doubt in my mind you have talent not sure about the producer in choosing the backfround music though just my take on it! Like I said before good effort but not sure on the choice! Love you still baby:)

I get what you are saying, but I still like the remix.

[JadeElektra]

This is a response to "latinogott". Interesting opinion. First, if you had read the info on the track, you would've found out that the vocals were not sung to music at all. The production on the track was completely decided and played by a french producer who was not familiar with the song at all. There are 2 other remixes to the track. And as far as my vocal ability, I will never compare to the original by Billie Holiday. I'd be interested in hearing your version of the song.

I like it it's agot a very loungy feel to it! I think the effort was good but some how I feel it's not there quite yet! The beat is old! It does not make sense! I will tell you why! It sounds like cabaret girl meets mario brother the nintendo game! We are not going for childish and cute! We are going for Sexy sultry cabaret girl meets deep sultry hous! Maybe it's the lyrics or vocally Jede is limited! Nice try but I know she could do better than this
