It's enough to listen to Ella's singing : "he left me" - perhaps he left to buy a bread...?
Billie's "he left me" means deeply: I am now lonely. -

I respect Ella Fitzgerald's musical artistry but I consider her devoid of emotion. She's always pleasant and a bit upbeat. Emotional range of one feeling. And I think began a trend of black performers who are more technical than emotional singers. Needless to say, I'm a Billie Holliday fan. She never gave you much, in terms of emotion, but what she did give had a punch. As if she were determined to remain composed but she took the audience an emotional journey despite herself.

Billie Holidayby aunislayer243,706 views
i obviously exaggerated when I said she sings sad songs like she just won the lottery. Ella does have songs where it sounds like she feels the lyrics but to me those are few and far between. When I hear Ella sing sophisticated lady what I hear is an exquisite, smoky sound, really the perfect voice but you never really feel she means what she's singing. When I hear Billie's version of that same song I hear the the story of the woman in the lyrics through that woman's voice.
