I really like her voice..But not in this song. It seems that she gets an orange on her throat.

i am not trying to disrespect her but this sucks.

It's like I always said "those who can play and those can't sing."

Fleming has probably sung this song as a jazz standard as well. Let's say she has this down.

Summertime comes form the opera Porgy and Bess. Summertime is orignally done in opera. This particular piece has also been done in Jazz, Blues, and Soul. The original is opera. TopdollarStudio - You sing it if you can do better. Stop being so negative. People always want to say the negative before the positive. No matter what, Renee has a gift and she is blessing others with it.

this is a different interpretation of the song there are many ways to sing this beautiful song i like this version operas cool
By: sosefo. on 19 Dec 08, 02:35:26
As you can see from the lyrics - DuBose Hayward intends the singer to imitate the dialect So he wrote it out phonetically: Summertime, And the livin' is easy Fish are jumpin' And the cotton is high Your daddy's rich And your mamma's good lookin' So hush little baby Don't you cry So, if you hear a singer sing any song from Porgy and Bess in perfect 'English', you should know that it is the INCORRECT way to sing the music! Blessings!

Just wanted 2 clear up something bout this aria & the opera. You need 2 remember the context / time of the music. This is supposed 2 b sung in an African American dialect of the early 1900s, specifically located in the Charleston, SC region, which probably spoke in the Gullah dialect. This dialect is a mixture of English and perhaps some parts of West African cultures of the slaves living in those regions. There are very similar dialects also intended to be sung when singing Negro Spirituals.

Upon listening to this again, I really don't know why you're having a hard time comprehending what she's singing? Every word is clear as a bell.
By: ArrSee. on 10 Dec 08, 23:43:35
No. No, I didn't. I've only heard bits and pieces of this Aria before finally taking the time to listen to it all the way. This was the first performance I've seen by anyone singing this all the way. I have to say that I easily understood everything she sang. It may not sound good to YOU because you're not used to it, but it's correct, and has been seen as such for generations.
By: TopdollarStudio. on 10 Dec 08, 21:03:56
then you probably already know the words. If that's proper diction, than there's something wrong with that because it doesn't sound good. And I can understand why people would like this, I just have my opinion and I would enjoy it more if she changed a few things.
By: ArrSee. on 10 Dec 08, 20:54:53
Oh, and I can understand her just fine. I don't know what you're having a difficult time with.
By: ArrSee. on 10 Dec 08, 20:54:16
Um...You REALLY don't know what you're talking about. She's singing using proper diction and pronunciation. Just because it doesn't sound "American", as you most likely want, that doesn't make it bad English. And seriously, do you honestly think that SO many people are wrong, and that your opinion is just magically correct out of so many opposing viewpoints?
By: TopdollarStudio. on 10 Dec 08, 20:25:15
that may be true, but her diction is still bad it doesn't even sound like english.
By: ArrSee. on 10 Dec 08, 07:26:58
Except that her voice COMPLETELY matches this ARIA, not song. It's from an Opera. She's an Opera singer. Do the math.
By: TopdollarStudio. on 08 Dec 08, 00:01:28
her voice DOES NOT match this song AT ALL.
By: scarbo86. on 04 Dec 08, 13:17:13
this gets my stamp of approval

too much gas peddle singing.
By: rcb1011. on 22 Nov 08, 21:48:48
the best interpretation I heard live was Barbara Hendricks on the academy awards show many years ago...I think she got it right hear as close as she can for an Operatic Soprano
By: rcb1011. on 22 Nov 08, 21:43:12
I love Reme Fleming ..but I think this is the wrong song at the wrong time for her...to forced ..without the relaxed sensual sexual.feelings required ......I have heard her interpret Classical arias better than she did this...I am a Baritone/tenor

Leona Lewis? Are you kidding me?? Apples and oranges, mate!
By: OoMASEoO. on 18 Nov 08, 01:06:28

By: loveallmusic100. on 14 Nov 08, 09:39:10
