Agreed. For me she is uninteresting and doesn't bring anything new to the art of jazz. But if new people are exposed to jazz as a result of her music, then it is ok with me. |

| meydele (By the sea) | Posted: Dec 13, 2006 - 11:16 I normally love this kind of warm voice, but I have to say I really can't get with Diana Krall. Also, Frank's version of this song can't be beat. |

agreed in December, as it was for you, in November |
| ThePoose | Posted: Nov 14, 2006 - 07:47 She's pretty much ready to drop Elvis's twins. Christmas comes early for Mr. and Mrs. Costello. |
| JohnErle (in a Steeltown) | Posted: Nov 14, 2006 - 06:59 Earth would be a better place without her, so yes, somebody please fly Diana Krall to the moon and leave her there. Preferably without a space suit. |

This guy went wherever he wanted and came back in whenever he wanted. A good jazz solo wanders off without sounding like he's left the band behind. Just my opinion. The rest of the song is great.
"he" (the pianist) is most likely Diana Krall herself. |

Sorry. Her voice is so bland. Her phrasing isn't anything exceptional. I can't comprehend why some people think she is so great? Please explain.... |

pbm I'm no fan, but credit where it's due: the piano player IS the vocalist. |

There is a reason that the majority of this version of the song is instrumental. Sounds like karaoke. |
