She's such an amazing live vocalist...I thank God that the record company who held Raye back for so many years, finally let her go so she could show the world how brilliantly talented she is. This gave me goosebumps.
Her performance was a beautiful tribute to the queen of jazz Ella Fitzgerald. What a journey Raye had this year. She deserves to be on big stages like the Apollo Theater. She is a star.
They were just appreciating her greatness! As someone who went to see her live I regret not being as far as possible to only ear her voice (I was in the front row, so I mostly listened to fans screaming). I would just sit down and enjoy it too.
I love this song, and there's some really beautiful renditions by several artists out there, and the original, but RAYE is the cherry on the cake, she's hitting it out of the park every freakin time... How does she do that?
Love your name as I've been a fan of Gigi and the GG Vibes for years before I even discovered RAYE. The rest is history... Merry Christmas, Peace and love from BavaRAYEa
I absolutely love Raye. Perfection as always. She's beautiful and talented. Give her 🌹 now. She's the voice of the generation Right Now! You deserve All the accolades and blessings queen. We you're fans absolutely love and adore you.
@@Cal99ers on her debut album It's Magic at age 12, live here around the same time. I recommend listening to the audio, really crisp recording, here's the live: ruclips.net/video/ViNgjfrc1dQ/видео.htmlsi=s0md0_HqkKHC4PjL
People please stop saying she reminds you of Amy Winehouse. I was a very close friend of Amy and I lived and still live across the road from her. This girl does not sound like at all like her.
Great voice…. However, how is she even connected with the Apollo? Sorry, but where are all the past winners and icons who careers started in the Apollo!
This performance was not good at all!! That vibrato was excessive, and that cry me a river interrupted in that manner, sounded so off. She might have been inspired by Ella Fitzgerald, but she is not delivering. This genre is not really for her, and she should stick to what she does best in my opinion
I would imagine it would take some effort to find an artist that could do old jazz standards any justice. She's been considered in the jazz category, so that was good enough gir them. Hard to compare or even assume she's modeling this performance after anyone since the standards have been sang by so many. Perhaps this is just her personal style coming through. The entire Apollo tribute is a let down for me.
I'll have to watch the full segment of this to give a definitive opinion. But so far, the clips I've seen of the Apollo tribute are confusing and a little disappointing. Not saying the artists are vocally bad, but the performances (and song selections) are missing the mark. The Apollo is legendary, and this entire tribute(so far) is subpar.
SHE NEEEEEDS TO DO THE NEXT BOND THEME !!! It’s imperative!!!!
Yesss
I Agree!! Yes!!
This!
Sydnie Christmas needs to do the Bond theme soundtrack
agreed
RAYE deserves all the awards and recognitions she’s receiving!
If she doesn't do the next James Bond song, I am going to go feral
TAKE ALL YOUR BLESSINGS RAYE
She has that old time talent and glamor.
This woman is just amazing. So happy she’s getting the attention she deserves.
Yes, James Bond needs her!
One of the greatest voices and interpreters in modern music
Nope.
She’s so GOOD! I keep replaying this
Same here, this incredible, on repeat...
Same
One of the best jazz songs ever and one of the most talented vocalists alive. A match made in heaven.
That last “I’m tiiiiiiirrrrred of cryyyyyyinn” gave me goosebumps
She's such an amazing live vocalist...I thank God that the record company who held Raye back for so many years, finally let her go so she could show the world how brilliantly talented she is. This gave me goosebumps.
What a world class vocal.
Raye and Jazz are truly a match made in heaven. Such a privilege to witness her greatness rise! ❤️
Her performance was a beautiful tribute to the queen of jazz Ella Fitzgerald. What a journey Raye had this year. She deserves to be on big stages like the Apollo Theater. She is a star.
Raye deserves EVERYTHING
the audience isn’t giving! this performance is astounding
They were just appreciating her greatness! As someone who went to see her live I regret not being as far as possible to only ear her voice (I was in the front row, so I mostly listened to fans screaming).
I would just sit down and enjoy it too.
Calm down, ✋🏻.
The once-in-a-generation talent!!
I love this song, and there's some really beautiful renditions by several artists out there, and the original, but RAYE is the cherry on the cake, she's hitting it out of the park every freakin time... How does she do that?
I've loved this song for forever and in the last 2 months RAYE has become one of my favorite singers, so this is absolute heaven to me.
Same here, only it's been six months with RAYE in my life now... Merry Christmas, peace and love from Bavaria!
I'm cryin' a river over that elite performance...DAY-UM...Raye is simply sensational! 🔥🔥
Raye deserves all, she is amazing ❤

2:36 MY EARS JUST GOT BLESSED
A true jazz vocalist
Beat Dis! Unsurmountable.
Not really. The original versionis is on a different planet.
I love her , check out the set she did at the Montreaux jazz festival , incredible, would love to hear a collection of old standards by her
I fell in love with that song after I heard Grace VanderWaal sing it.
With me it was Angelina Jordan :)
@@Hundhammer When did AJ do it?

It seems such a difficult (critical) audience 😉 in stead of her screaming fans... but she nailed it as to be expected ❤
She reminds me so much of Amy Winehouse ❤
Yes her voice reminds me of Amy!
Saaame!! Her jazzy style is very Amy ❤
Julie London....the best vocal ever on this song, no one compares...
Wow wow wow wow
I literally have been saying we need a new cover of this song asap. Here it is 💖
Remind me Amy Whinehouse ❤❤❤
No way
Theres no current or any relevant artist to be in that position but raye.. She is continueing jazz today
Julie London did a great one of this song but Raye just wins it hands down
EXCUSE ME THE LAST VOWEL “O” run 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽😭😭😭
Who is this person ? what a voice.
People please stop saying she reminds you of Amy Winehouse. I was a very close friend of Amy and I lived and still live across the road from her. This girl does not sound like at all like her.
Yes she sounds like a carbon copy of Amy. The vocal styling is very similar but Amy tone was more tolerable.
She looks like her in certain photos but their sound is definitely different
Ahhhhhhhhhh..
Did your notebook 📒 ever showed up ? I know it was stolen all your work ❤
Came here expecting the Justin Timberlake and found this masterpiece instead.
✨Finally someone fixed her hair ✨
MAYBE just MAYBE she should be doing the next Bond tune.... Just saying.......
Great voice…. However, how is she even connected with the Apollo? Sorry, but where are all the past winners and icons who careers started in the Apollo!
Effortlessly insane
BOND THEME ✨🔫
The dead crowd is pissing me off 🙃
she could have sang 'ice cream man' as coppola was getting honours in the same event
Raye is good but Shirley Bassey knocked it out of the park. I enjoyed Raye's performance.
I love how she's always barefoot when she sings
Why is it that i listen to her sing and all i think of is Amy Winehouse... 😭😭😭
She sounds so much like AMY WINEHOUSE
People didn't even care to stand up and applaud. My god
Because it wasn't very good.
She didn’t carry it needs work
when is her next star wars movie, lol
James Bond producers you better come here real quick.
This performance was not good at all!!
That vibrato was excessive, and that cry me a river interrupted in that manner, sounded so off.
She might have been inspired by Ella Fitzgerald, but she is not delivering. This genre is not really for her, and she should stick to what she does best in my opinion
At last, a sensible comment! This just sounds strained, it's OTT and difficult to listen to.
Compare it to the restrained original of Julie London's.
I would imagine it would take some effort to find an artist that could do old jazz standards any justice. She's been considered in the jazz category, so that was good enough gir them. Hard to compare or even assume she's modeling this performance after anyone since the standards have been sang by so many. Perhaps this is just her personal style coming through. The entire Apollo tribute is a let down for me.
I'll have to watch the full segment of this to give a definitive opinion. But so far, the clips I've seen of the Apollo tribute are confusing and a little disappointing. Not saying the artists are vocally bad, but the performances (and song selections) are missing the mark. The Apollo is legendary, and this entire tribute(so far) is subpar.
She reminds of Amy Winehouse in every way
