But then, listening to these songs only left me wishing for a version by Adele, this is another one of those songs that would fit her like a tailored evening gown... _________________________ Yamaha Genos, Roland Jupiter 80, Ipad pro. http://keyszone.boards.net

spalding1968 Senior Member Registered: 09/19/08 Posts: 1264 Loc: United Kingdom	wow thats a real surprise. I guess its just a matter of taste. This was an incredible vocal to me but i like a particular tone and style. Both Beyonce and Christina have premier voices but often times they use a song just to showcase their voices rather than to deliver the song. As a song writer that can be annoying sometimes !! I was originally doing a serach under Alan McPike. One of the best one man band players of our time. But again thats just my opinion. what do you think of this guy ? another classic 'Laura' http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fqDSC1TuQ...mp;feature=plcp Edited by spalding1968 (02/11/12 02:04 AM)

This is the female singer from my band when I was located in New York. http://www.cloudnyne.com/music/01-Etta James - At Last.mp3 No Tracks, recorded in the studio.

Scottyee Senior Member Registered: 12/01/99 Posts: 10427 Loc: San Francisco Bay Area, CA, US...	I too really enjoyed Sophie's rendition. The one annoyingly distracting thing about it though is that iPod headphone cord looking like it's just about ready to pull out of her ears at any sec and ruin her performance.
