I wouldn't use terms like "better" or "worse" in the field of jazz singing; it is too abstract an area, too subjective. I think there is room for everybody, which is good.

[nandesneto]

Absolutely. There is room for everybody, but Billie, for instance...she changed music...she changed the way women sing. She had influence all female singers.

@nandesneto well if u wanna go there louis armstrong strongly influenced every jazz singer. Before him singers didn't usually swing or play with the lyrics at all. But yea ur right about billie holiday, but what i like about anita o' day is not only her amazing voice but also how she always knows whats going on in the band in back of her and she interacts a lot with the instrumentalists. it doesn't sound like theres a jazz singer, her music just sounds like jazz. In my opinion of course haha

God, so classy.



[comingout05]

Absolutely beautiful. Haven't heard Ms. O'Day in a while, just beautiful.

[janner9901]

She is just uncomparable, but the same can be said about Ella and Billie. Each were unique in their own way.

Excellent!!

My personal thank to whoever posted this video. The quality [both visual and vocal ] are superb. I always enjoy Anita O'Day. . . the musically playful way in which she approaches a song is such an experience.

[SharodHolla]

I love Anita O'Day she has an impressive voice and nice scat qualities

[Jadedjago]

@defundthewar all of her experience comes through when it comes to selling a song. a true master.

@meomy0101 Umm - I truly love listening to Anita O'Day. how does that lead you to think less of Ella Fitzgerald, however? Please do yourself a favor and listen to more music. Every singer has much to offer. Ella is timeless and without peer. She isn't better, but rather different. There is room for many different styles and certainly room for both Anita and Ella. Anita would agree!
