Gee, Astrud Gilberto, wasn't exactly what you'd call a charismatic performer

no wonder she never made it REALLY big. &, while I'm at at, how many of her songs were famous, just this one?

• She's hella ugly.

• Rita Tushingham

• Samba de Uma Nota Só is quintessential Astrud.

• OP eats chicken spaghetti while watching "American Idol." Sad.

• Perhaps her biggest, but not only hit in English. You forget, or perhaps have no idea, that she sang in Portuguese, English, Spanish, Italian, French, German, and Japanese.

• She's Beautiful and talented. My favorite English lyric songs; Song/album Dindi/Best Of Astrud Gilberto Here's That Rainy Day Feeling Again( Koop Mix)/ Verve remix #2 I Had The Craziest Dream/Beach Sessions

• Emoting isn't everything OP.

• Well, I love her and the song, but she really is exceptionally stiff in that video.

• She had a stiff, schtick!

• She couldn't carry a tune in a bucket. Totally off-pitch.

• Exactly R8, that was her signature, to stand out in a more flamboyant age. It was a kind of Hello Kitty thing

• The Brazilian Keely Smith (from her "deadpan" period. )

• shes a stylist its all about the arrangements and the mood

• "The Brazilian Keely Smith"---r12, it's sad how many never got to see KS back in the day!

• Does she do a version of Waters Of March?

• [quote]Does she do a version of Waters Of March? No, I think she was off the scene by then.

• Be nice, OP.

• She's a carioca.

• That is so 60s - but shouldnt it be on the beach? This looks like its part of a christmas tv show ... with The Dave Clark Five !

• Her albums are delightful even today. Love the song "So Nice." And her "Girl from Ipanema" sounds as fresh as they day it was recorded.
