The purity of her voice is just so refreshing there is nothing she cannot sing and improve on what a unique talent we have here she should be cherished and enjoyed hopefully for decades to come.
Dido covering Bronski Beats Smalltown Boy brought me here, and I must say, I was a bit reserved about someone I've never heard of cover a classic Blondie song, but this was delightfully beautiful and I am now a fan of Imelda May.
This, the 1st track on Eat To The Beat made me fall in love w Blondie in 79. Imelda May gives me all the same feels here. Goosebumps. Awe. This is the shit that makes life precious to me.
Watching her sing with her eyes closed, knowing all the words are in her head. Those lyrics and a host of others. My father was the same, he had a repertoire of, I don't know how many, songs in his head and could sing an appropriate song at the drop of a hat. Me, I can hardly get past the first line. The apple fell FAR from the tree.
Robert Treppleton I absolutely agree,100% ahh man, this song performed with just a banjo .absolutely brilliant, but we all know some absolute crap, useless xxxx'. so called stars ( lucky xxxxx) who can't sing at all ''never mind live''and it is a real crying shame, naturally gifted people,because they don't tick all the boxes,or xxxx, they mostly fall by the wayside of life,.pubs + clubs are closing down,have been driven to the wall with political correctness, health and safety,taxes,licences for 'this 'that 'and the other. like all of our traditional business,and industrys, in our great Britain and Europe'' absolutely ruined '' ,when I was younger,you could see future artists on the pubs and clubs,that's how tom Jones ,Engelbert Humperdinck, Shirley Bassey etc started out,imagine going to see the beatles and the Mersey era fantastic,nobody telling you what you could not do ,say or eat the 1960+70-80 era ,simply every club or pub vying for customers any time of the week,not now though. our governments and unions ,and also (workers pigheadedness )have ruined all of our Great Britain and Europe,all built by our forefathers on blood sweat and tears ''and giving away to spivs of foreign country's ( with backhanders) whom said ''thank you very much''we will have your industry's,etc. and all covered up with our ridiculous political correctness,compensation cultures, health and safety, ''oh yes 'we do now have ''clean air'' '' but no one is working,we have no industry's,traditional shops, etc etc everyone as been driven to the wall squashed and crushed by our own governments,and given to foreigners, and also to all of these multi giant conglomerates in every high street .picking up every part of British business and merchandising ,paying employees nothing ,or on zero hour contracts .and of which are now have ghost towns''. and our very own British people , Europeans, america ,those who have inguinity ,scope, and a willingness to better themselves that's old wise clever people, as well as youngsters etc thrown on the scrap heap of life,to deteriorate,and be fed on drugs and drink and food banks,,this is with to much government,and tax intervention,health and safety,licences for numerous things for you to be able to work ,political correctness,health safety,etc and greed and corruption from big brother conglomerates,all involved in our governments'' to treat the remainder of people as slaves..
Imelda your voice is so Special only in our lifetime comes along, some one with voice like you😂we are luckey to how special we are that you have come now ! An how u have come with so many extraordinary musicians in yo😮ur band 🎸🔊🔊💪🏼🎤🎼👍🏼👍🏼❤️
Great cover of Blondie's song. Done better and simpler by Imelda May and Al Gaer. Sometimes less is best. And in this arrangement it plays out beautifully. Brilliant!
Mr54nomore I have to totally disagree and I think thousands would, how can you say it's is better than the original by Blondie. Debbie Harry wrote the song back in 1979. Which if you listen to Debbie Harry's vocals they superbly display the song for what it is a classic power pop song recorded and wrote by one of the biggest female Legendary rock stars ever. Who Amelda has stated she is a fan of Debbie's and Blondie the group and that's why she recorded it. Less is best, it's a nice cover but don't over egg the pudding it's a just a sweet tribute to greatness.
First one who actually has he soft vibrato tone to perform the song,many doing the song with forced tone without touch. Loved it....She even knows who the King is and his versatile tone...lol...I was scared for Humanity with some covers of this song,glad to hear music ability is not gone forever..
Everyone go now to your video settings and change the playback speed to 0.75 and you will hear Perfection.

She just gets it right every time.
The dreamy Imelda May...
This woman does not get the recognition shee deserves
She is talented beyond belief
Amelda you have a wonderful talent of making me smile
Brilliant arrangement. I swear up and down this girl is the best singer of my generation. Pure rock and roll.
How can anyone not love this. So damn melancholy and sweet. Puts me in real a nostalgic mood.

I'm actually crying, this is so perfect!
+loodiamexican when you have the good fortune to see beauty, simply, it's hard not to tear up in gratitude.
I know it's comparing oranges to apples
so it's impossible to say
but I believe Imelda May
is the best female singer alive today

Saw her do this live... Enchanting
I saw her for the first time on Jools Holland a few years ago, went straight to iTunes and hit add to playlist, been a fan ever since.
What a great rendition of a Blondie Classic
Quelle classe , nature tant en session acoustique que sur scène .
J'adore.
Gosh this girl...........................❤ Priceless!

Another gem from a lady who never shies away from a live performance,
Oh this is bliss... Love you Imelda.... and HELLO and Kisses from Tipperary :)
Whew,it is a long way isn't it?
A nice touch, finishing with a couple of bars of " I'll see you in my Dreams", which also makes a good Ukulele song.
Hope she plays this Sunday at Austin City Limits Music Fest!
that girl can sing! wow, ta! i enjoyed!!!!
Beautiful rendition. I know the original very well but that is the first time I have heard the song itself. Gwaaaaan ya good ting.
OK, that does it, I'm a fan.
pure talent, pure beauty,pure love!!
Fabulous! So looking forward to the new album... and the tour.
oh wow.. this is a beautiful cover!
I LOVE the "I'll see you in my Dreams" she does at the end.
If this girl can't get a hit, I just give up already!
