Whatever people think of her as a person, be it good or the opposite.....let's leave aside.

Musically, her singing is absolutely appalling. Perversely, I had to tune in to her attempt at this Spector classic.

@gframpton1 So was Max Bygraves, it doesn't mean either of them could sing though. Cilla has no range she mumbles the low notes, the top notes are truly horrendous, she just lets rip with this really ugly shouting. She was a Liverpool girl in the right place at the right time. The public eventually rumbled her though, after 1971 she had 12 successive flops and thankfully stopped inflicting her excrutiatingly painful voice on everyone. She sounds like a cat on heat.

talentless useless sad cow. how she got the right to sing alfie god knows, it was terrible. dionne warwick should have sung that. she was and is, a fucking joke, i knew the beatles blah blah, she is a fucking phoney. even the scousers hate her guts, useless ginger slag.

Just listening to the first line and she's already out of tune

@brickpaverr I thought you weren't going to reply? lol I think you need to see a therapist because you need to be 100% right about everything, which includes playing the victim. Bit late for you to complain about abuse when you pitched in with a lot of invective right at the start. If you don't like it, don't dish it out from behind the safety of your pc because something you like was criticised. Nobody was having a go at you & you went looking for a fight. Too bad if you don't like my replies.

@dutchgoing You're a bit of an unpleasant person with your passive verbal abuse aren't you, choice of words, insults, etc, especially when we can't get someone to agree with our self imposed opinions. Just have a read back at all the stuff you've fired at me and tell me that it's not the pot calling the kettle black. The precise opinions that you are aiming at me, you are also totally guilty of yourself. You have your opinions and I have mine. LEAVE IT AT THAT.! NO MORE REPLIES.!!!

@brickpaverr You really need psychiatric help. I just listened to her recordings, formed an opinion compared with better singers and that was it. I know crap when I hear it and don't have to be 100% right all the time. You are abusive because somebody disagreed with you about a gig you went to 44 years ago & a singer who stopped singing nearly 40 years ago. Stop pretending to be all pleasant now, that's just passive aggression. Taking your ball home are you? You behave like a 7 year-old. 

[brickpaverr]

@dutchgoing Hey, thats fine. You stick to your narrow minded and blinkered opinion because there is no way that you are going to see it any other way. You have your opinion, I have mine and a whole lot of other people have theirs also. Lets leave it at that because I have no intention of replying to this again, unless that is, you feel that you want to have the last say. If you do, please be my guest and you have a nice day now.

@brickpaverr I've heard the original LPs and she's shit in my opinion.

[dutchgoing]

@brickpaverr You are a hypocrite. You were and are saying that nobody is allowed to have an opinion about the worth of something because if they are not as you suppose not educated in a musical sense their opinion can be discounted & derided. That isn't living-and-let-live that's evidence of arrogance & snobbery beyond belief & you seriously believe you aren't being insulting. You need psychiatric help if you think you haven't got a need to be 100% right & actually think you are being fair.

The one and only thing that could be wrong with this video is that when it was transferred from the original tape to avi file or similar, the person doing the transfer pushed the volume a bit high so that the recording needles drifted into the red on the higher or louder parts of the song. This will make those parts then sound a bit distorted, including Cillas voice which is why there should never be "judgement" made, based on video clips. See the artist live and THEN make an honest judgement.
