Imelda is off the charts and equal coodos to Jeff Beck and the Bassman, heck, the whole band. Amazing talent.

She's a drink of fresh water in the world of music,,,finally 

[EEEEELAD]

LOVE THIS SONG BUT I PERSONALLY THINK JULIE LONDONS VERSION WAS A BIT BETTER

[kelmohairy]

some of the tone in her voice while singing this song reminds me of the great Karen carpenter

[videoreff]

@elcicuta1 I couldn't agree more. Sometimes an exceptional talent like Imelda will break through, there is hope for the music industry!

This woman makes you proud to be Irish

@Marielena5058

She may mot have the power of some of the great jazz singers, but there is a quality to her tone which I just love.

[christo7392]

The best is definitely Etta James version

[frandsenphilip1]

@guitarslim56 Your statement is illogical. I may listen any number amount of times again and perhaps change my opinion, but it doesn't mean I WILL change my opinion.

[guitarslim56]

@frandsenphilip1 Listen again. Keep listening until you change your opinion.

So many versions of this song but this is the best since Julie London. Great performance!

julie london has had more black coffee!!

[leejuneseven]

One of my favourite songs,

[joevs21001]

Imelda May has a lot of the same singing qualities of Diana Krall. I just heard of Imelda after seeing her on Jay Leno (The Tonight Show) tonight, so, admittedly i'm behind the curve a little bit, but she is one incredibly talented woman, that is for darn sure. She is a true star and has one hell of a career ahead of her.

[frandsenphilip1]

Usually Beck is outstanding, but the tone is all wrong for the song. Again, Beck is a GREAT guitarist, but this time I think he wasn't on top of his game.

Beautiful

[Marielena5058]

Who's "we"-- popularity does not = greatness. I wouldn't have compared her to anybody, but she chose the song and I was responding . Etta or Mahalia ? I've heard Imelda before, good voice, but she tries to sing beyond her capacities-- doesn't have it to belt out or an R& B which I've heard . You/ anybody can get upset just 'cause I disagree?? Com' on. I'm sure there's some singer whom I think has a great voice, and you and the "we" disgree. It's a great big world, so again, I say Chill

@Marielena5058

You know Marielena...you are right..people do have the right not to like a voice for qualitative reasons..hey it just does not hit home with you..and good on you to stand by that..

However.. when you start knocking down specific qualities of her voice that we know are exceptional...such as the strength...etc. comparing it to Peggy or Nina...you lose lot of us..

heck if you are talking about strength why not compare to Etta J. or Mahalia J. instead..

[Marielena5058]

I just don't like her singing, that voice! Gees! does everybody like everybody Chill!

@Marielena5058

Marielena......seriously??....­...I guess sometimes to satisfy the need to stand out against the tide of admiration....criticism is rendered whether deserved or not...

[KillgoreTrout43]

Marielena, you need to get your ears checked.

[Marielena5058]

@EEEEELAD Toatlly agree-- see my comment

[Marielena5058]

she just doesn't have the voice, it's weak-- like the greats, Julie, Peggy, Nina Simone, and like that--- maybe if she stuck to her own songs. Disappointing

[v8infinity8]

va va voom this lady is sooooo good- one of the best

[imjstcl]

@EEEEELAD i kind of like this better... it has more feeling to me. maybe its just the live recording. its so powerful.

[maureeno8]

wow what a talent just as good as the original, imelda may is wonderful, a beautiful dublin girl.

[SeanReynolds2008]

It is difficult, even sometime unwise, to tackle a classic like Julie London's 'Cry Me a River', but Imelda May nails it, down the echo at the end. Awesome!
