First time i heard Peyroux i thought it was a remastered Billie Holiday. Great!

Madeleine rocks like nobody else!

Long live MP!!!!

[ricethefood]

Agreed, I immediately thought Billie Holiday!

I heard her on a little am radio first. I thought she was BH too for the first couple of bars, then possibly a 70's Korean singer with BH proclivities. Most good singers wear their influences on their sleeves, like Sinatra wore BH and Bing, Elvis/Dean Martin, Mel Torme/ Ella, etc. Saying she's crummy is like saying Jo Ann Kelly is a bad Robert Johnson. MP's "Sit Right Down and Write.." is brilliant. She's a good singer like C.Hynde and Joanie Sommers, who transcend their limitations w/nuance.

@RexKwondoSystem Bravo, but sbc, for someone who claims to be a musician, shows little or no understanding of music.

[sublimesublima]

@samblackcrow No she can't, she can imitate, even that, somewhat badly. Your comment about Billie shows the depth and breath of your ignorance about music and the voice. And, you know what, I'm a trained singer as well, and I do training as well.

This is terrible! My God. And this woman is popular. Bad imitation.

I have been listening to a wide variety of jazz and blues artists for many years, many of whom had far-reaching influence; that doesn't mean I cannot post my PERSONAL OPINION that Billie is over-rated and had a limited voice (I'm a trained singer) and that Peyroux does it better Assuming that someone is ignorant because they do not agree with your perception is rather arrogant, don't you think? For someone touting experience, stating that "without Billie, there would be no Peyroux" is simplistic

Dear SBC. I have not signed into YouTube for over a year, but I dug out my password in order to answer this comment. Please listen to some music before posting something like this again. I suggest starting with Jelly Roll Morton, then following not just singers (Billie, Sarah, Peggy, Ella, etc.) but also musicians (Tatum, Wilson, Garner, Peterson, Hines, Parker, Shorter, etc.) Then you will realise that without Billie, there would be no Peyroux

[samblackcrow]

No way, man! Maddy's voice gettin' me high!
