oleta is way better than her.....

If we are comparing Oleta's voice has much more depth and a fullness that Brenda can't even begin to touch. Her band is fantastic though. Very nice sound.

I love this song and love me some Brenda Russell, she is a terribly underrated song writer and singer. Sing YOUR song lady.

@ Harmonee301, unbatedtk & GABN05:
You people are absolutely nuts. Are you even familiar with Brenda Russell?
You people talk nonsense nonstop! Go and check out Brenda Russell's catalogue. The lady is a genius and a BRILLIANT writer.

Bertrand Russell's version was better.

Oleta's version is ... ( 4 months ago by iddyumpty)

Oleta's version is much more cheesy and clichéd. Brenda Russell wrote the song and her genuine emotion finds its expression in every note

Brenda Russell was ... ( 4 months ago by iddyumpty)

Brenda Russell was NOT flat most of the song. Even to write a song of this calibre Brenda must have a stunningly good ear

I agree, Hey? why don't you send those two people that just don't get it Oleta's vid, it's here on the tube

I see what you mean ... ( 3 months ago by thegrammarfairy)

I see what you mean, bbennett04. I don't have the absolute finest musical ear, but I do have a pretty good one, and I did hear a few notes here and there throughout the song that were ever so slightly under pitch.

I am very familiar with Brenda Russell and her work as a writer. Fantastic writer. She is still, in my opinion, a subpar vocalist. That's the beauty or music. It's all subjective to the listener. She sounds like half decent Karaoke. And when I put my version on the tube I will be sure to send you the link so you can see how it really should be done.

Harmonee301 go and listen to "Think It Over", and tell me Brenda isn't a genius:

The bottom line is. ... ( 2 months ago by Mshoney720)

The bottom line is......Brenda Russell is a BRILLIANT SONGWRITER not neccessarily a great singer. Which is fine; there are MANY instances where she will WRITE a song for someone and they of course will perform/sing it much better than she can! That is NOT UNCOMMON in the business. I mean she wrote Please Pardon Me and Chaka Khan sang it. But there is no way in HELL Brenda could even TRY to sing the song even close to Chaka. Brenda is a SONGWRITER FIRST, then a singer!!!!

Yes she is ... ( 2 months ago by Harmonee301)

Yes she is BRILLIANT. Thanks for sending me to Think It Over. I really enjoyed it

Array ( 2 months ago by ohd00bley)

I think Brenda & Brian Russell actually recorded Please Pardon Me first. But I agree Chaka's version is better. Of course she recorded Get Here and If Only for One Night first and they were also made popular by IMO better singers, Oleta Adams and Luther Vandross. Brenda's got some songwriting talent!

WOw ! takes me back ... ( 1 month ago by peter97624)

WOw ! takes me back to the Great Songs of the 80's ! What happened to music since then ?

please don't do the ... ( 1 month ago by skillet54)

please don't do the 'someone else can sing better than her argument'..she is a songwriter first...most songwriters write songs with someone in mind they'd like to perform it...they get great pleasure hearing someone else sing the living daylights out of a song they've written! for instance dolly parton wrote that tune whitney houston nailed...'i will always love you' dolly was like...yeahhhhhhhhhhh! so don't compare songwriter/singer to singers in most cases its pointless.

my fav songwriter in the world. thanks for the post.

agreed, PLUS, most ... ( 1 month ago by freeek04)

agreed, PLUS, most songwriters love hearing their songs interpreted different ways. They also make an amazing living off royalties off a big hit like Oleta had with Get Here. Best thing to do is to enjoy the sound of Brenda's interpretation and Oleta's.
