Alexis Cole:

I do like some of her tracks, but, unfortunately, her interpretation of the torch standard 'Cry Me a River' is disastrously inappropriate, since she turns this sombre, reflective, melancholy into an upbeat affair, thus totally missing the point (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=71MdKZ2dibw). IMO, Dinah Washington also missed the point, in her interpretation (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tx6MQ7tmgSc)

Since I'm on the topic of that track, some more appropriate interpretations, include the following artists (some of whom have been mentioned individually in the thread):

Ella Fitzgerald - Cry Me a River (still one of the best)
Alison Moyet - Cry Me a River
Linda Ronstadt - Cry Me a River
Mari Wilson - Cry Me a River
Diana Krall - Cry Me a River
Julie London - Cry Me a River
Lisa Ekdahl - Cry Me a River
Stacey Michelle - Cry Me a River
Imelda May - Cry Me a River

She has been posted once before in video form... 2 years ago. She deserves another listen, because... she's awesome :wink:

and KEXP always brings the quality. A great channel to subscribe to.

Also for what it's worth. Just happened to find Dianna Krall's new album that apparently came out today! So far I lOOOOOOOOVE it, but as this thread will show you, it won't be for everyone.

One thing I wish people would do when posting in this topic is, when you post the name of a singer you really like, include an album or two they have done so people like myself can give them a listen and maybe become a new fan of theirs, I would also have a good starting point in picking up some new music I'd like.

i personally like Little Boots, Sia, and Carmen Forbes, to me they all have nice vocals. All pretty decent vocal range, with smooth relax voices.
