I see some people saying she couldn’t do it like Ella Fitzgerald, but I see her creating her own scats and rhythm anyway, and that’s the important thing in jazz.
WTF is up with the melanated folks at the end? They looked like they just heard Paula Abdul sing....getcha asses up,that was a standing ovation performance.
I wonder how work the author rights about the arrangement of a song like this one. This version was created by Ella Fitzgerald and everybody sings it her way with all these different changing of rhythm.
She wasn't suppose to do it like Ella, as it says in the song " your interpretation, your inter-pra-tar " and that's what Regina did. And she gets wild applause. She did splendidly!
Regina Belle is a singer-songwriter who started her career in the mid-1980s. She was born in Englewood, New Jersey on July 17, 1963 and she celebrated her 59th birthday on July 17, 2022. Known for her singles "Baby Come to Me" (1989) and "Make It Like It Was" (1990), Belle's most notable for two hit duets, both with Peabo Bryson: "Without You", the love theme from the comedy film Leonard Part 6, recorded in 1987 and "A Whole New World", the main theme of the Disney's animated feature film Aladdin, recorded in 1992, with which Belle and Bryson won the Grammy award. The theme song "Far Longer than Forever" from the animated movie The Swan Princess, performed with Jeffrey Osborne, was nominated for a Golden Globe in 1995 for Best Original Song.
Very nice voice, but no one can duplicate dear Ella on this song, it's just not possible! She sounds like she's trying to have a cat on the scat. It's not at all fluent and light like Ella Fitzgerald does it.

She made that song her "Own" there was no use trying to imitate, that hair is leaping too 🥰
A stellar performance. This should become a classic. Regina out did herself. A 10+
Literally one of my favorite versions of this song!
Kaela Wegner She is a good R&B and Gospel singer but I see that she got the jazz in her
Quamese Lowery - Amrstead She's more jazz than R&B,Nancy Wilson is basically her Godmother.
What can you say after that! Wow!
