This woman is terrific.  I'm off to Amazon to buy the CD (Hey!  So I'm old school).

I could listen to this, and Patsy Cline's "Crazy," and all manner of this realm - I know it would guide me gently into sleep, and I really need sleep lately.  I love this music.

While I totally get the "Just a Billie Impersonator" reaction, I think this is still "Quite Likable".

I really like her.  When I was doing d.j. work, I dedicated a whole program to rain songs.  This was one of them.  Lots of folks called in and wanted to know about her...(she helped with the drought).   {#Lol}  One of my faves by her, actually.

She's just a good Billie Holiday impersonator. Play the original instead.

New releases from Billie Holliday are unlikely to say the least....
That being the case, I am very happy to listen to and appreciate Madeleine's offerings.

So introducing Billie Holliday to a new generation would be a bad thing or something?

if she came right out and called it Tribute to Billie or A Night with Billie or Billiemania it would be more honest and perhaps something you might go see in Vegas or in a cruise lounge.
 
I suppose that's a fair comment, but I choose to believe she just happens to sound like Billie, and is not imitating/exploiting her, per se.

The worst live show I have ever seen. 90 minutes of mostly sound checks
 
I saw her in Toronto last night and I have to agree - it was awful. The sound was poor but the arrangements were worse - hurried, cursory and superficial. Madeleine's singing was the same - her phrasing was a mess. I hate to be a hater, but I just want to warn anyone thinking of investing $65 in a ticket. (And I'm a fan!)
To be fair, the "acoustic" set, about a third in, was excellent. If only they'd stayed with that style....

Bobby Peyroux likes this song. Bobby Peyroux don't come up for air. Y'all take a listen, you'll hear the deep sound comin' down from Bobby Peyroux.
