    Those vocals were NOT easy, I'm sure! Just the breathe support needed - whew! GO GIRL!!!!! The musicians are ON POINT too. Not an easy song, but an AMAZING rendition! I like it so much better than the original. Also...I never could understand what she was singing, and now I know! Haha.

    You hear things like "Ella Fitzgerald Style" and you're like "Sure. Okay. Ella." But then they go ahead and do the damn thing. Yup. That's it. That's how that song's supposed to be done. Also those solos - my goodness. Jacob, Olivia, Alex... This was amazing.
