Hi, Polo: I have been waiting for a reaction to my August 10 PayPal request for Barry Manilow "Weekend in New England - (Live 1978). Being it's been more than a month (and I know you were moving), might I expect it soon? Please let me know when I might expect the reaction or refund my PayPal -- your choice. Thanks!
Diana Krall is an amazing jazz vocalist and pianist from Canada, she also sometimes crosses over into the pop charts with some of her songs. You would probably appreciate her versions of Just The Way You Are and Autumn in New York.
Diana is a wonderful jazz pianist and singer. She’s married to pop star, Elvis Costello. She’s working with producer extraordinaire, David Foster here. He’s on the electric keys. He’s written R&B hits for several artists. Polo- I live in beautiful California. If you’re ever out this way, we would be honored to show you the sights of Monterey and Carmel!
Diana grew up on the coast of BC. She is an incredible pianist as well ar a great vocalist. When she entered 8th grade Junior High in Nanaimo BC she asked to be in the Jazz band. The teacher, Brian Stovall told her the Jazz band was for seniors, then he asked her to sit down and play the piano, the rest is history! If you dive into the ocean of Diana Krall be prepared to dive deep, this is an ocean, not a lake, and you will go on a journey.
Dear Polo, A suggestion: Take your son and all your favorite tunes, get on a plane bound for LAX, rent a car-it has to be a convertible or topless Jeep, hit the Santa Monica freeway down to Pacific Coast Highway, turn right. Drive about two hundred miles along the coast, watching the terrain change as you head north. When you hit Morro Bay, take Highway 1, 70 miles going north, crawling along the edge of the world with the ocean below. You will go through some of the most amazing scenery you’ll ever see, including redwood trees older than us all. In San Francisco, turn in your rental, get on a plane and go home. Ask your son what he thought of what he saw, and we’d love your reaction to that life experience.
I love Diana Krall. My dad and I got to see her at the Santa Barbara Bowl. It was incredible. She is married to Elvis Costello. I can't recall if you've reacted to him before. He's one of my favorite artists.
Diana Krall is one of my very favorite singers!!! She's got the whole package. She doesn't have the greatest range but she knows how to phrase a song so it's like you never heard that song before. She plays a terrific jazz piano, and she's a really beautiful woman! Check out When I Look in Your Eyes from the album of the same name. Also love Popsicle Toes, Besame Mucho, Cry Me a River, and the list goes on!
Diana Krall’s “The Look of Love” is a whole mood, my guy. The album version is crisp, clean and exquisite but I’m sure there are some live versions which are just as good in different ways.
Yes, Diana Krall is fire 🔥🔥... She can sing anything and make it sound as if you just heard it for the first time... with her beautiful smooth, sultry, husky voice ❤. She's awesome in concert, as you just witnessed ❤🎙🎹... I still favor her earlier hits which I highly recommend a reaction: The Look of Love🔥🔥, Besame Mucho, Quiet Nights, Walk on By...just name a few from the D.K. rabbit hole🔥👍👍
Big fan of Diana Krall, saw her in Denver 25 years ago, she was all that and more. Try listening to a few of these: Frim Fram Sauce, Popsicle Toes, Squeeze Me, Peel Me A Grape....
I grew up to the Mamas and Papas original, but Diana Krall's singing really caught my ear in recent years. Wow! This jazzy shift with melancholy is great. I grew up in NJ now CT. I find out NE short days so gloomy, she nailed it. Full spectrum light therapy helps chase the sad depression, but exquisite song emotions like this make it all worthwhile ! ❤
Ahhhh, SO tasty!! Diana is a renowned Jazz artist... Did you notice who the director is? His name is one of the best known music producers, from Earth, Wind & Fire to Boz Skaggs to WHITNEY HOUSTON,. yep, THAT Witney Houston... She's a great listen on a nice evening or morning brunch... She's done an album with Tony Bennett... Take a listen to more, you won't regret it😉🎙️👍🏻💫⭐✨
This woman is AMAZING!!! She has SUCH a wonderful catalog - one of my FAVORITES by her is Peel Me A Grape - and, her version of Girl From Ipanema is pretty awesome - but, I've not heard ANYTHING from her that was not just SO GOOD!!! SO TALENTED!! HUGS!! ❤❤❤❤❤
Diana is great. Everything she does sounds beautiful, so it's hard to recommend particular tunes. (But try 'The Look of Love', 'I've Got You Under My Skin', 'Let's Face the Music and Dance'. Oh, hell... everything!) As for state songs, there's certainly one that stands out. Ray Charles singing 'Georgia On My Mind'.
Polo, I'd let you make playlists for me! Love your eclectic openness to different genres, artists, and attention to instrumentation! Great reaction again! ❤
Finally realized my decades-long dream of seeing Diana Krall in concert. She performed at the Wolf Trap here in the DC area last month. It was incredible. This performance only hints at how beautiful her voice truly is.
As other people have said, Diana Krall is an amazing jazz vocalist and pianist. She has incredible control over her voice. Listening to some of her songs can make me melt. I listened to one of her songs on early DVD-A format through an audio receiver and stereo system. The quality was so incredible you could even clearly hear her breaths during pauses in the music. If I closed my eyes, it seemed like she was in my room singing to me. I've been in love with her singing ever since. Side note: she's been married to Elvis Costello for the last 20 years. He also has a background in jazz.
My husband saw Diana Krall when she was 16 or 18 years old in Saskatoon give a concert. When she played “Peel Me a Grape” every male in that room was captivated! Her piano playing was off the chart at that young age. He saw her a few more times and he cannot say enough about her! I have not had the pleasure of seeing her in person but we have almost all of her CD’s and they are wonderful. Her “PARIS” DVD of her is phenomenal. I highly recommend all of her music.
Only singer I ever heard who sounds substantially better live than she does recorded. Her voice as nice as it sounds here actually loses something recorded. Must see live.
Interesting request. There’s a video of her and hubby Elvis Costello on a show with their good friend Elton John. (Interesting music couple since he’s rock and she’s jazzy.) Their twins have had quite the musical upbringing. Have you reacted to Elvis Costello? I like his song Veronica, co-written with Paul McCartney. (Paul plays bass on it.) It’s about a woman with memory loss; inspired by his grandmother.
Her voice is incredible. I was lucky enough to see her in concert about 20 years ago. You nailed it that she has a beautiful tone while being strong. This song was good, but not the best example of her range. And yes, as mentioned, she's married to Elvis Costello - who's definitely worth diving more into.
I think the question with any cover is if this version was the original version would it still be as big. The answer in this case is no I don't think so. As good as it was you just can't beat the chemistry of the mamas and papas.
@poloreacts27 Try "Cry me a river" live from paris. She nails every note. A gorgeous cover. I am a metal head but fell in love with her from cry me a river.
You should check out Angelina Jordan's version of this song, she's just with guitar and her,no big band or anything just her wonderful voice and a guitar
As someone else mentioned, for another state song, you can not beat Ray Charles singing "Georgia On My Mind". For darn good singing it is hard to beat anything by Diana Krall. Her album Christmas Songs (Christmas standards with her jazzy twist) has been one of my favorite holiday traditions for nearly twenty years now.
Im sure youve been asked a million times but I just got recommended your channel and im hypnotized by the piece in the back of the stairway to heaven video. What is it?
I know that this is about a homeless guy 55 years ago, wanting to go to LA, and times have changed, but it sounds kinda like you're damning the whole state.
Yes, beautiful song. As a Californian most of my life, California has a lot of positives. Definitely not the same as it used to be. A friend and I were reminiscing about what it was like living here in the’70’s and ‘80’s. It was incredible. Currently far more people, more crowds, more traffic, less of that California artsy culture and more crime. Some places, like the SF piers, have sadly been Disney-fied As a teen here I used to love listening to most of the songs you review. I heard them on the Wolfman Jack radio in the ‘60’s - “Can ya dig it?” There’s no one like him now that I know of.
I was born in 1961. Born and raised in Seattle Washington the. When I need to get away for cheap I get a round trip ticket down to California. It's just got different energy and you just feel like you're someplace else. Nothing like going to LA and Venice Beach. Just walking down to Santa Monica Pier and playing out with the people there
In 2012 at the White House, there was a performance by Diana Krall doing The Look of Love honoring the songs of Burt Bacharach and Hal David. It is a great version of the famous Dionne Warwick's. Love Diana Krall ❤
Excellent choice, although I haven't heard one comparable to the one I saw in Birmingham a couple years ago, still looking for the one with that energy.
To be honest... I was never a "fan" of The Mamas and the Papas. I did not even like this song when it came out in 1965. That said this version took this song to a whole new place. As she mentioned... this was arranged by David Foster who is in his own right..... brilliant. Take him, add Diana Krall and an orchestra of extremely talented musicians.... and this is what you get.

Love this version! Polo, have you listened to her husband Elvis Costello yet?

I agree - fantastic version she does.
I agree. Her version of "The Look of Love" sends chills up and down your spine. Everything she sings, or plays, is a masterpiece.
One of my favourite albums of all time!
My mom introduced me to her 20 years ago❤ Glad you enjoy her talent❤
Yes, Diana Krall is fire 🔥🔥...
She can sing anything and make it sound as if you just heard it for the first time...
with her beautiful smooth, sultry, husky voice ❤. She's awesome in concert, as you just witnessed ❤🎙🎹...

My brother was running sound for her years ago. I got to meet her. She was very gracious and kind. She has beautiful eyes

Her cover of Joni's 'A Case of You' is excellent.
I love her style of music

Peel Me A Grape is awesome!
Would love to hear Sade sing this with Diana playing THAT VERSION OMFG ....gorgeous.
I really Love that you truely listen and try new music!!! Great video! ( Daina Krall is INSANELY good!)
I love Diana Krall and California! She is an amazing artist - I have never heard a bad song from her. She has great talent on the piano as well.
You will LOVE Diana Krall.
Listen to Departure Bay, The Girl In The Other Room, Narrow Daylight...
You WILL LOVE these.
Love Dianna Krall! Hope you can add another great song by her - "A Case of You" - to your playlist.
Diana is great. Everything she does sounds beautiful, so it's hard to recommend particular tunes. (But try 'The Look of Love', 'I've Got You Under My Skin', 'Let's Face the Music and Dance'. Oh, hell... everything!)
As for state songs, there's certainly one that stands out. Ray Charles singing 'Georgia On My Mind'.
Love Diana!!❤❤❤❤
Never heard this version. It’s a wow for sure!
WOW !! Thanks to your viewer for this request. Such a cool, jazzy version of this song. So cool !!
She is one of my favorite Jazz singers.
58 years after originally released, we are still hearing interpolations of this great song. Like this version a lot.
Jose Faliciano's cover of this is amazing!
She has been an outstanding jazz artist for years and this is a great jazz take on a rock classic.
Polo, I'd let you make playlists for me! Love your eclectic openness to different genres, artists, and attention to instrumentation! Great reaction again! ❤
Finally realized my decades-long dream of seeing Diana Krall in concert. She performed at the Wolf Trap here in the DC area last month. It was incredible. This performance only hints at how beautiful her voice truly is.
Love her; I must have in one’s collection. Known in the PNW for quite some time.

Love most of what she does. She is a great jazz artist, singing familiar oldies.
Her cover of A Case of You from Live in Paris is a must.
Diana Krall has been around for decades at this point with many, and then some, wonderful covers. Try "The Look Of Love" and "Fly Me To The Moon".
I'm a fan of this song and somehow never heard this cover! Loved it! Good job on the reaction Polo.
Diana Krall is one of my favorites! Thank you for watching this one. May I suggest another from her? Try "Peel Me A Grape" 😃
My husband saw Diana Krall when she was 16 or 18 years old in Saskatoon give a concert. When she played “Peel Me a Grape” every male in that room was captivated!

I have a few of Dianna’s albums and dvds. It would be worth looking at her Live in Paris concert. Very cool and a great backing band.
She has a beautiful catalog. I fancy her cover of Somewhere over the rainbow ❤
Speaking of women doing awesome covers of melancholy songs about weather, you've got to check out The Bangles Hazy Shade of Winter.
More Diana Krall, please please please!
Yeah, when I saw her here in Birmingham, I bought out the Merch table! I was mesmerized, and a little bit in love.
I think the question with any cover is if this version was the original version would it still be as big. The answer in this case is no I don't think so. As good as it was you just can't beat the chemistry of the mamas and papas.
Sixx: A.M. / The Heroin Diary, Nicki Sixx was in Motley Crue, his Mom once dated Richard Pryor
@poloreacts27 Try "Cry me a river" live from paris. She nails every note. A gorgeous cover. I am a metal head but fell in love with her from cry me a river.
Diana Krall is fabulous ….
Check out her cover of They Can't Take That Away From Me. Sublime.
You should check out Angelina Jordan's version of this song, she's just with guitar and her,no big band or anything just her wonderful voice and a guitar
Diana Krall can do no wrong 🎉
I also love the Womack cover and another cover that is really really good is the Jose Feliciano cover!

I love it! Greetings from Germany!
California is no more a desirable place to be, but the song is beautiful.
I know that this is about a homeless guy 55 years ago, wanting to go to LA, and times have changed, but it sounds kinda like you're damning the whole state.

love mammas and pappas version. this is great though!!! jazzy!!!
I love the bossa nova beat!
Frankie and the Knockouts, their song Sweetheart
I love so much of her work, not this so much though....good but her best is just her and the piano.
Time to review Baker Street by Jerry Rafferty. You will be blown away.....
Love her!!! ❤
Scott Wieland, Happy in Golashes, the double lp, got a lot of everything, check out his version of Fame

Love Diana krall
You were gonna say she sounds like Sade right?
Loved this version of this song 🎵 😊❤
Her husband turned my head around back in the '70's and still respect him but she reminds me of the Dylan line about being the brains behind Pa.
This reminds me of the cover of Tears for Fears ' Mad World by Shannon Butcher
Would love to see the original song. It was one of my first thoughts when you recently did John Denver and Momma Cass.
I am also a fan of the Mamas and the Papas
Polo you should review her song called Temptation from her album called The Girl in the other Room 👌
Excellent choice, although I haven't heard one comparable to the one I saw in Birmingham a couple years ago, still looking for the one with that energy.
The beach boys also did a cover, it was excellent and had a haunting quality tot it.
My favorite cover is from Queen Latifah!
Heyyyyy Polooooo ... Oi dhoper chawshmata ebare kholoooooo 😜
Please cover her video "autumn in New York "
Cool
SHE IS THE BEST!!! CHECK HER OUT!!!!!!!!
G. Love and Special Sauce, Who's Got the Weed, song

Great reaction Polo. Another cover you might consider covering is Morgan James doing Aerosmith's Dream On. You won't be disappointed.
Cherry Poppin Daddies also did the soundtrack for The Mask with Jim Carrey
Cherry Poppin Daddies, Zoot Suit Riot lp
BTW DAVID FOSTER IS PRODUCING THIS!
Do you take recommendations in the comments or is it only on Patreon? If you do take recommendations here I have quite a few I think you'd enjoy and I haven't found in your channel:
Thin Lizzy - "Dancing in the moonlight"
The KIllers - You probably already know "Mr Brightside" but I personally prefer "Somebody Told Me"; "Just another girl" and "When we were young" are also good if not a bit sadder and a different tone from the first two
Journey - Again you probably already know "Don't stop believing" but I'd also highly recommend "Separate Ways" and "Anyway you want it"
Fleetwood Mac - "The Chain", "Go your own way", "Everywhere"
Ozzy Osbourne - "Crazy Train"
KISS - "I was made for lovin you"
Check out her cover of Tom Waits' "Jockey Full of Bourbon". I prefer Tom's version but his gravelly voice is not for everyone.
I love your channel, im 76 live in West Midlands UK, check out, Fat Larry Band ZOOM & Gerry Rafferty BAKER Street
