Such a different take than the Linda Ronstadt version, but really good. It's not often someone can remake such an iconic song so differently and have it work so well.
I don't know who the guy is but he's not serving the song by singing the main melody so quietly that you can't really hear him. Norah is great as ever.
Don't know who the male singer is but I feel like Norah is not singing her best on this song just so he doesn’t sound worse than he does. Love the original song and love Norah but not this performance.
This guy may be a fine musician, and for all I know, a great songwriter and producer, but HE CAN'T SING. Can somebody inform the talented women who keep screwing up their recordings by letting him attempt it?
Leave it to Linda Ronstadt (or Bonnie Raitt/Roy Orbison/Emmylou Harris etc etc !!!) I'd rather take my fillings out with a rusty nail or stick hot needles in my eyes than listen to that version again. Believe me I did try and I am a fan of Norah Jones - NO Norah, just NO !!!
I like Nora Jones, but this has to be the WORST rendition of “Blue Bayou” I’ve ever heard, and that guy is terrible. I have to delete this song from my channel.
As sexy and beautiful as her voice is, it's incapable of soaring like Linda's. I'm sorry but she misses the heart of the song. There's zero conviction.
Wow! I've never heard it sung understated. ❤️ Sounds beautiful! Only Norah could do this. Incredible! Very calming. wow. just wow.
im not kidding I think all the 42k views are from me love this version! Norah is a genius
People use the word genius like a new found toy.
If ever a backup singer made a primary singer better, this is it. 😻😻😻
I wish Norah would have this song solo recorded as well.
Yeah. The guy is not an asset.
Norah makes every song her own .
it doesn’t matter what Nora sings I love it, can’t explain it, other than she is the best hypnotist that every roamed planet earth
Such a different take than the Linda Ronstadt version, but really good. It's not often someone can remake such an iconic song so differently and have it work so well.
She should have started first lines... why the guy with guitar did it. 😮
Only Norah can change the tune of a song
I love that version❣❣❣
I love how smoky yet thick and smooth her voice is thru hers
I love that version.
What a pretty rendition!
Absolutely beautiful 🤩
Beautiful harmony
Norah makes it work here, makes it beautiful, she's just that good
Two words - understated GRACE. 😊
Fantastic, mouth watering
Wow! Interessante Interpretation und richtig toll - Norah Jones eben! Man darf es nicht vergleichen - es ist ihre Version und richtig toll!
Blue Bayou
(Bye You)
Norah Jones
I feel so bad I got a worried mind
I'm so lonesome all the time
Since I left my baby behind
On Blue Bayou
Saving nickels saving dimes
Working til the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou
I'm going back someday
Come what may
To Blue Bayou
Where you sleep all day
And the catfish play
On Blue Bayou
Where those fishing boats
With their sails afloat
If I could only see (c)
That familiar sunrise
Through sleepy eyes
How happy I'd be
Maybe I'll go back there again
Maybe I'll see some of my friends
Maybe I'll be happy again
On Blue Bayou
Saving nickels saving dimes
Working til the sun don't shine
Looking forward to happier times
On Blue Bayou
I'm going back someday
Come what may
To Blue Bayou
Where the folks are fine
And the world is mine
On Blue Bayou
Where that girl of mine
By my side
The silver moon
And the evening tide
Oh some sweet day
Gonna take away
This hurting inside
Oh I'll never be blue
My dreams come true
On Blue Bayou

That's M. Ward! I love that guy! Check out his song 'Chinese translation'! One of my favorite songs for sure!
Check him out in she and him.
Excellent Norah Jones!!
Her voice is like a warm blanket, or fine wine. Wish they'd remain the melody a tad more though..
What a live vibe!
Nice adaptation. Love you Nora.
Glorious ! ! !
Beautiful ❤
Love it.
Wow Norah is beautiful....
Holy smokes! And who is the guy? Great duet.
something tells me they have bananas and avocados in their kitchen and we've been welcomed there
Theyre good together
Really, dude?
This is the very best !
❤
I don't know who the guy is but he's not serving the song by singing the main melody so quietly that you can't really hear him. Norah is great as ever.
why does he sing as if hes melting? love this tho 👍👍
They're just missing my lower harmony.
It's a extrem minimalist performance. - Or are they just kidding us?
Jeez IDK whether to laugh or cry.,I'm having mixed emotions.
Linda's version makes me cry, but for totally different reasons.
Me gustaria que fuera un poco mas rapida la melodia igual es de mi agrado
Pobre Roy...
💖💖💖💥💥💥💖💖💖🙏
My perfect woman 👩 ❤
Hmmm not too shabby.
Roy Orbison isn turning over in his grave
I doubt it. He is not a jackass.
This is a great cover what’re you on about
I never got M ward .
He has a jimmy Fallon vibe
It may be brain damage.
Lol. i agree with all the comments. this foolios fucked up this Beautiful song.
Good night
😅
🔵 😣 ß⚡ ~ way too laid back and low key a rendition ; i think Nora can definitely kick it up a notch by singing this duet with Engelbert Humperdinck ❕🐸
Could they sing this any slower? I'm sorry I just can't. For the most part I really like Norah Jones but this is a big disappointment.
Agreed, i too like Nora, but no, this is not a song she should sing, ever again.
a des années lumières de Linda 👎
They killed the song. Ears bleeding.
Crack version of the song
How the ones they were able to DESTROY this invulnerable song ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Loose the guy, she is perfect
OMG, makes me wanna stick a hot poker in my ear!
I could do with out the dude singing but Norah, omg, she is the best.
yea no investment in the high notes and no emotion like they don't know what that hurt feels like.
Way to destroy one of my favorite songs.
The chemistry between these two during this number is electrifying.
I wonder if they were boning...
It really really SUX!!
I looooove this sparse and sweet version. Id rather take a hot poker to the ear than hear the ronstadt one though. Shes amazing just not my taste
Enjoy your hot poker 🤣
I don't know about that. I'd listen to Linda Ronstadt.
can't say I really like this version, Roy and Linda did it better. But I like mrs Jones voice
Norah is just too much for him! He’s just all in the wrong lane ...
Dude, merge to the right please 🙄
🤭😅😅😂😂🤣🤣☠️
Rubbish, you know jack shit
You're full of fucking shit! He accompanied her perfectly! He was meaning to be understated! You have the tastes of a boorish rube!
Why is HE singing????? WTF Play but DONT SING!
Zuado
Dear lord make them stop! This an abomination upon the memory of Roy Orbison😁
Sucks!!!! No one can do it like Linda!
Norah could do it by herself though. Not better but as good.
Norah great as usaual, who is this guy that ruined this song
Wow
Interesting, in a sick kind of way. Like driving slowly by and peeking at a car wreck.
Horrible.
Nora Jones is a great singer but in my opinion this guy and her messed this song up
That tone doesn't work for me.
Sometimes you should leave some songs alone.. Linda always..
By that logic we'd still be listening to Roy Orbison singing the song.
@@joshuamullicanmusic7482 Roy orbison was amazing!
Nice cover...nice try.
She's a great singer, but not song for this. This guy should not be singing she should.
Don't know who the male singer is but I feel like Norah is not singing her best on this song just so he doesn’t sound worse than he does. Love the original song and love Norah but not this performance.
Yuck boring
Awful, like if someone farted in your mouth.
now, you can’t have gone very far.
Who's that John Mayer wannabe... He completely fucked up one of the greatest country songs
I like Nora, but this is not the song for her to sing. My Mom always said if i couldn't say anything nice, not to say anything at all.
You should've listened to your mother.
WTF🙄🙄🙄
OMG! No, just no!!!
I know, right?
Is this a joke???? WTF!
This guy may be a fine musician, and for all I know, a great songwriter and producer, but HE CAN'T SING. Can somebody inform the talented women who keep screwing up their recordings by letting him attempt it?
Check out "M ward Chinese translation" then let me know what you think
no thanks
No good
Leave it to Linda Ronstadt (or Bonnie Raitt/Roy Orbison/Emmylou Harris etc etc !!!) I'd rather take my fillings out with a rusty nail or stick hot needles in my eyes than listen to that version again. Believe me I did try and I am a fan of Norah Jones - NO Norah, just NO !!!
Well -they certainly removed most of the guts of the song but, it wasn’t that bad
Why do they destroyed this musical treasure?Why do they gave that dude a microphone? Whyyyy!!! 😭
I like Nora Jones, but this has to be the WORST rendition of “Blue Bayou” I’ve ever heard, and that guy is terrible. I have to delete this song from my channel.
THIS VERSION SUCKS BIG TIME
yep, they are scared to hit the high notes!
Such a fucking let down. This isnt a blues songs....
What the hell was even that?!?
Norah sang okay but the guy.. just awful
As sexy and beautiful as her voice is, it's incapable of soaring like Linda's. I'm sorry but she misses the heart of the song. There's zero conviction.
I was always told by Mom if i couldn't say something nice to say nothing at all, so i won't.
@@gtswann well don't! 🤭
Yahhh....too much crack! Depois de ouvir o original e outros que se seguiram ao original, está versão está decadente! Sorry...não façam isto!
Thats horrible
Horrible where????????
Holy shit this is awful in every aspect.
LMAO
He sucks, she sucks, it sucks.
I thought the guy was really rubbish
