![CAMPปลิ้น | EP.77[2/2] "รับทราบ" แก๊งเพื่อนรัก 10 ปี ที่ไปไหนก็มีตำนาน!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/ifc0ofD51B0/mqdefault.jpg)
I'm Brazilian guy, so I have to say... Original version is classical, historical! Patriotism! Hahaha
Lol! Plus its just amazing! Thanks Led!
Did you miss the "/s"?
Brazilian as well. It has nothing to do with "patriotism", in fact, Brazilians never gave him the recognition he deserved. He had his quirks (leaving the stage, being "picky" about the sound) but one should keep in mind that the show was João, his voice and his acoustic guitar (the majority of the shows).
Our president - and I *really* don't wanna get political here - on the day he dies tweeted:
"[Era] uma pessoa conhecida. Nossos sentimentos à família" - "[He was] a known person. Our feelings for the family".
I'm sorry, but a "known person"? He influenced, me included, to play acoustic guitar and he create the genre Bossa Nova. It was one of the few moments in history that our country was known for something good.
Sorry about the rant haha
But the Sinatra version only demonstrate this success.
I have to say, though, that some of Sinatra's covers were better and the fact that he was sitting, drinking and smoking just amazes me.
Garota de Ipanema is the second most play tune in the history. Yeah, you can say that it is "elevator music", but it's so more complex. Just like "One Note Samba","Desafinado", really all of them. Even Gilberto own composition "Bim Bom" and "Ho Ba Lá Lá" are extremely complex and defined Bossa Nova with the syncopation, groove, even though it has 2 chords.
Again, I'm ~probably~ overreacting and I'm sorry about that.
Great video.
@@phacus Calma xofem. Patriotismo falei na zoeira, não ligo ahaha mas sim, prefiro a versão BR.
@@Ledones Vai que hahah
Well I’m not Brazilian and the original is still the best 😊
The first vision Joao Gilberto was singing. The second Tom Jobim was singing. Joao Gilberto made the song famous, Tom Jobim wrote the song.
Gilberto created the "Violão Gago" (Stutter Guitar) - one of the fundamentals of Bossa Nova. Well, he's the father of Bossa Nova.
I'd argue that Gilberto not only made the song famous, but the whole movement (Bossa Nova). He's unique and IMO a genius.
Joao is great, but if he’s the Father, Jobim is The Godfather
@@nkcbrazil it's not about who was "better", but historically, João Gilberto is considered to be the "founder", the "creator", of Bossa Nova. The first Bossa Nova song ever was "Chega de Saudade".
@Allison, There’s a big difference between Godfather and Father. BTW, Chega de Saudade was composed by Jobim. Also, again, Jobim brought Boss Nova to the world and made it what it is.
Except it is not Jazz... It`s Bossa Nova... Which was influenced by jazz and Samba.
They calling it Jazz all the time it is very annoying, I must say. It is clearly Bossa Nova. Obviously it was influenced by jazz, but it just isn't jazz. They spent the whole video talking about jazz and didn't say a word about bossa nova. It's almost like saying that bossa nova it's just jazz, and so you can reafirm the superiority of american culture once more. Same thing by calling it the "original" version, when we also know the original version is 100% in portuguese.
bossa nova é um tipo de jazz, tecnicamente não é errado chamar assim, só meio impreciso
Nossa nova é o Jazz Brazileiro é chamado assim por conta da técnica aplicada a música
Bossa Nova is in a class by itself.
@@lucasBarjas Eu acho q é meio errado pq são dois gêneros q surgiram no mesmo período e q ss, tiveram suas influencias e adaptações ao longo do tempo mas durante o período do surgimento eram estilos singulares apesar da similaridade que é comparável
Só acho q é um pouco desmerecedor dizer q o nossa nova veio do jazz em um período em q a globalização nem era avançada a esse nível...
A pegada do bossa é gritantemente mais latina e original apesar da similaridade
Im Brazilian and the original is like a anthem here
I am Brazilian I love Sinatra, but I prefer the original. Ipanema girl is a heritage is unique hahaha
Please react to Wave- Tom Jobim 🙏🏼
Normally, Frank kills. But Astrud Gilberto's sultry vocals made the original.
The orchestra in Frank's version is no substitute for Stan's sax. Sinatra is a great singer, but this is a samba song, not a crooner one.
I'd go further... The orchestra is no substitute for Gilberto guitar.
And one step further Jobim tapping on that piano
Bossa Nova not Samba
Kropotkin talking about Tom Jobim, OH MY GOD! Two of my biggest idols ever, hahaha. S2
This was definitely one of my favorite videos and subjects to cover. Do you like the "Original vs. Cover" idea? Would you like to see more? Let us know!
I think this is a cool idea.
I like some jazz, but Frank S has never been my cup of coffee. Leo Getts it for sure.
I enjoyed watching it! I prefer original version. Yes, I would like to see more. My request is "Jimi Hendrix vs Stevie Ray Vaughan - Voodoo Child Slight Return". Thanks
Bruce Springsteen vs Manfred Mann - Blinded By The Light
Yes! Also Little Wing - Jimi vs Sting, or All Along the Watchtower - Jimi vs. Bob Dylan
"Cancer"
My Chemical Romance th-cam.com/video/wc2s9skF_58/w-d-xo.html
21 Pilots th-cam.com/video/yw6i1SAHetc/w-d-xo.html
The 21 Pilots version is amazing. It's haunting, beautiful, sad, and intense all at the same time.
Tom Jobin arranged all two versions.
You guys know that “the guy” that Sinatra brought in to sing and play the guitar with him is Tom Jobim (the composer) and not João Gilberto, right? In the Getz/Gilberto version (which, by the way, is not the original one, if I am not mistaken) it is João Gilberto who sings it, not Jobim.
It is Carlos Jobim has composed to song , so I guess he did the original
Just one small correction: who does the piano is not João Gilberto (Gilberto does the acoustic guitar), it is Tom Jobim.
And Bebel Gilberto.
@@albertonior3466 You mean, Astrud Gilberto, singing, right?
Yes, I'm sorry.
Exactly!
The original, no contest. The Sinatra version is nice, but it can’t compare.
They are both covers in fact. The real original (written by Tom Jobim with Vinicius de Moraes lyrics) was sung by João Gilberto with a simple arrangement:
th-cam.com/video/P6tNV3DyaFU/w-d-xo.html
João Gilberto (and his wife Astrud) both also sing in the Getz version - which, with time, became the "jazzy original".
Gr8 idea, the "original vs. cover" :)
E sempre bom ver alguém apreciando as melhores músicas brasileiras 🇧🇷❤️
TODAS las versiones de esta composición son grandiosas! Greetings from buenos aires!
Great review, nice to see young people reacting to older music. For the record, though Sinatra is one of my all-time favorites, the Getz/Gilberto original is my favorite. Between Stan Getz's distinctive sound and Astrud Gilberto's icy-smooth vocals, they captured lightning in a bottle.
In their defense, their grandfather made them do it. ;-)
Original, all the way, no question. As soon as the Sinatra version started (even before the lyrics) I knew I preferred the original. Great idea for reaction/review topic!
I love it so much, thanks J3B!
I laughed when I saw Getz vs Sinatra on this tune. It's Getz, hands down. Sinatra makes the tune sound like a TV show theme song. I like the original vs cover idea, and I like the new format. You guys are doing a great job, and congratulations on reaching 3K before Labor Day.
Lol! Thanks Ed; means a lot.
-JP
We should have an episode where the old school commenters on our stuff sit down with us, drink whiskey, and listen to music
Manny Peralta Skype or FaceTime
Tom Jobim ver is my favorite tho.
@@viniciussaaddaponte7422 q?
Like it was already mentioned, the Sinatra version has Antonio Carlos Jobim singing ... He's the original composer for the song and he is by far the most briliant composer of brazilian music period... He's also a tremendous ararnger and he arranged Sinatra's version. You should REALLY check "Luiza - Tom Jobim" ... Literally one of his most incredible compositions.
JP you have hit a Home run with this Classic I was pleasantly surprised you know this album
Thanks Victor! Oh yeah, I love this album so much. Many years ago I as somewhat big into jazz and this was one of my favorite discoveries.
all versions of this song are beautiful, but the original version is a sonic masterpiece, it is a delicious experience of sounds in the rawest way, an unforgettable classic.
One of the greatest songs ever made in Brazil, even Sinatra was trilled about it
Sinatra did a great job and brought Bossa Nova to America’s forefront, but the original will always be the best. It’s just classic, perfection
Here in Brazil we wouldn't say the Getz/Gilberto's version is Jazz music, for us it is a Bossa Nova song, which is first of all a variation of the Samba rhythm.
Not saying that one thing is better than another, but Bossa Nova is a genre itself, influenced by the Jazz style, for sure.
Wow, even though you get some of the personnel wrong, in general you discussion was really on another level than most reaction videos. Verbalizing exactly what is was trying to think.
Stan Getz cannot be beat. Listen to Samba de Uma Nota So
No he can not!
That not to mention so many others like mania de Maria, Sambalero, Tribute to Getz,. His whole Getz Bossa Nova album is incredible and his best work
Gilberto & Getz version $2
This is the most beautiful album of all time
Sorry JP, but the piano was played by Antonio Carlos Jobim, not Joao Gilberto. Joao plays guitar and sang Portuguese vocals on the original. Antonio Carlos Jobim, who wrote the song, also plays piano on the Sinatra version and of course Joao sings the Portuguese part.
Please do more brazilian songs! Listen to Clube da esquina and Mutantes, you'll thank me later, I'm sure.
Clube da Esquina is an absolutely must!!
"Um girassol da cor do seu cabelo"
Head bobbing to bossa nova... that's a first.
I am Colombian and love all our variaty of music.....but Brazilian music has so mucho soul and believe is the best music of the World.
Really enjoyed these songs, i had never heard them before. I'd love to see both more jazz and more original vs cover videos! You guys should definitely check out Luminol by steven wilson for some great prog rock
Thanks Jordan!
It's bossa nova
This is bossa nova
More reacts brazilian, please.
I'm brazilian
it has jazz influences but you know it bossa nova, its its own thing.
Diggin the contrasting songs.. Like me some Bebel Gilberto tho..... her rendition....oh so nice...
I like that the rhythm? BPM? (not a pro at music specifics) of the original version makes me think of the steps of someone, walking softly. There's a lot of Brazilian poetry that has some sort of play with phonetics and rhythm. There's a simple but ingenious poetry called "Trem de Ferro" (Iron Train) that, as you read out loud you naturally seem to speak with a certain rhythm and intonation to it that makes one instantly think of a train moving (and the one line that doesn't has literally someone saying "Good Lord, what was that train driver?" because you know, the train stopped suddenly).
Agreed!!
Perfect dig!
Very good video!
o original é o mais brabo tem nem como
Nice video guys, i'm Brazilian but i love Frank, that's my favorite ver. The Girl From Ipanema is actually from Tom Jobim, the guy playing with Frank on that cover, so technically you compared two covers.
I like your idea of comparing originals with their covers. May I suggest:
"This Flight Tonight": original by Joni Mitchell, cover by Nazareth;
"Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds": original by The Beatles, cover by Elton John.
Thanks Oron!
I’m an alternative lover and a funk fan, but for my entire life I have loved the Getz/Gilberto album. So Danco Samba, OMG.
Nenhuma é original, original é a versão em português de Tom e Vinicius.
Cantada no disco do dick Farney
In Frank Sinatras entire recording career, he only once covered an artist with two albums. That artist was Antonio Carlos Jobim ... one of the greatest song writers of the 20th century. p.s. Unlike Spanish, in Portuguese, the J in Jobim is pronounced like the J in Joe. Older (or younger) Jobim did not have the perfection of voice that Sinatra or Gilberto did ... but as he got older, their was a poignancy to his voice that is endearing because of its honesty and lack of artistic technique. Check out his album 'Passarim' ... or his duet with Elis Regina on TH-cam of the classic 'Waters of March.
BOSSA NOVA IS AMAZING. Brazil is such a rich cultural country. You should listen more Brazilian songs. The "old" Brazilian music is fantastic
I agree with you guys- As great as The Chairman is, you can't beat Astrud Gilberto and Getz in the original.
Thanks to this react 💚💛💙
Tom o melhor sempre !!!!
Both are classics of their type. Great video. Why not give Bebel Gilberto a listen (his daughter) she carried on her fathers love for Jazz. Anything from Tanto Tempo I'm sure you will love it
Bossa nova not jazz
Was the bass a little heavy in both versions, or am I imagining things?
Sinatra,all day long ol' blue eyes.
Some other cover comparison suggestions: “Wild Horses” by Rolling Stones and The Sundays; “Take Me To The River” by Al Green and Talking Heads.
Hey guys, that’s not jazz! It’s bossa nova, which it comes originally comes from samba and has some inspiration from jazz, of course
Guys, Milton Nascimento and Toninho Horta - Beijo Partido; Jessé - Campo Minado. You will appreciate these songs
Asking to choose between these two is like asking me to choose which of my children I love more.
Its hard isnt it? Lol
Please try Maria Bethania, she’s a legend, I fell in love with her voice decades ago….. 💗
Come on... astrud gilberto. nuff said
I don't like her singing, what the hell means 'nuff said'? Everybody has to like her because you just said so?... I'd say, and with more proper reasons, Sinatra, NUFF SAID
Two beasts Tom Jobim and Frank Sinatra
One of the best in my opinion is a live one with Frank and Jobim.
While I think Sinatra has a great voice, Getz is the one I want to listen to. Other suggestions
Stone Cold Crazy: Queen/Metallica
Proud Mary: CCR/Ike and Tina
Pinball Wizard: The Who/Elton John
Here's the legendary musician Bob Strauch's version with his own lyrics: th-cam.com/video/IDxLedytMm0/w-d-xo.html
You can't beat the original. Joao and Astrud Gilberto are great on vocals, both Portuguese and English, and Stan Getz is just amazing on sax. And of course, we can't forget Antonio Carlos Jobim who plays the piano and wrote the song. With all due respect to Sinatra, it's just not as good.
My request for this format is Broken Arrow by Robbie Robertson / Rod Stewart
Thanks
Make a reaction of the whole álbum!!!
Stan/Getz for sure...but please..that is NOT jazz. That is Bossa Nova.
do 'Caetano Veloso - You Don't Know Me' or 'Triste Bahia' next
I remember you mentioning this format quite a while back (original verses cover). I'm glad you tried it. You can find so many covers of classic jazz songs like Girl From Ipanema and each has it's own unique qualities that are enjoyable. The original recording was made in 1962 by Pery Ribeiro and is worth checking out for comparison. th-cam.com/video/jc6nMjX9pNU/w-d-xo.html
I'd like to see more videos in this format. I'm always surprised when I hear a cover first and then hear the original. One of the biggest shocks to me was when I heard "When the Levee Breaks" by Memphis Minnie and Kansas Joe McCoy for the first time. I was a teenager and was really into Led Zeppelin. It's quite a span in years, too, 1927 for the original and 1971 for the cover; 44 years.
Memphis Minnie & Kansas Joe McCoy th-cam.com/video/swhEa8vuP6U/w-d-xo.html
Led Zeppelin th-cam.com/video/uwiTs60VoTM/w-d-xo.html
That would be cool, I never knew Levee Breaks by LZ was a cover I'm dying to watch the Joe McCoy version but will hold off, hopefully JPMP does it. By the way I like the Pery Ribeiro more, because you really hear the bossa nova groove.
DukesRocks Hey, Dukes. I still haven't heard from JP, yet. He usually hearts or replies to my comments. Maybe this one got lost in the shuffle. If I don't hear from him by tomorrow I'll tweet. The McCoy version is pretty cool; very simple but with lots of character. It's hard to believe that 1927 is closer to 1971 than 2019. It makes me feel old!
@@jaybird4093 I'm sure he'll respond. By the way, haven't seen you on the "Just JP" channnel yet: th-cam.com/channels/oCnigPHrb-Fpim48wbKxLg.html
Getz/Gilberto were creating something new and exciting. The Sinatra version is insipid and has nothing new to offer.
If you're looking for suggestions, consider Rod Stewart's cover of Tom Waits's Tom Traubert's Blues.
Thanks Iain!
Prefer the original. It’s a song about 🇧🇷 and deserves to be heard in its original language. While FS’s voice is wonderful, his cover is too “Americanized “. Cover recommended: ‘All the Young Dudes’. David Bowie’s original vs Mott the Hoople’s radio hit.
I agree, though I'll also acknowledge that can be part of the charm. Thanks Sidecar!
🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
That is some damn good jazz, glad to see people still love old music now a day's,
also i heard an amazing progressive rock song by David gilmour recently called "then I close my eye's" you should take a listen
Oh yeah, love jazz a ton. Thanks for watching and the rec!
It's actually "bossa nova": a mix of jazz and samba, created in Brazil.
There's a really cool video of Astrud, singing Girl from Ipanema along with Getz on sax, in a 1964 movie 'Get Yourself a College Girl'. (Btw- it's not so easy. I've tried!) th-cam.com/video/_1uEy-n4IsU/w-d-xo.html The movie has some great old bands in it, too. The video is just a clip from the movie.
How loud do I have to scream Jeff goldblum for these guys to hear me
The whole Getz/Gilberto album is a classic. Sinatra is a great, but can't touch Getz/Gilberto on this song. Somba. Also you should react to Sergio Mendes and Brazil 66.
react to Novos Baianos - Swing de Campo Grande or Brasil Pandeiro
Os Mutantes - Meu Refrigerador Não Funciona
I’ll take the Sinatra, Jobim version!
Captain Kirk at the bar. The ist is best. Who cares if she is singing flat. What a girl. I’m drooling. ,
Getz.
I like the original better myself, but music is all relative.
Next? "Blinded by the Light"? Versions by Springsteen (original) and Manfred Manns Earth Band (better, imho).
Nice idea.
Thanks for playing along Herb! What did you enjoy more about the original?
-JP
@@jpmp1201 Briefly, I find it flows better; in that Manfred's voice and delivery is much better suited to the cadence (or perhaps inflection is a better word) required by the song. I am not a huge springsteen fan though, so I carry an inherent bias on this comparison.
h
@@jpmp1201 Ha! You probably meant the original "Girl from Ipanema" and not my suggestion. So, imho, the softer delivery in the original feels right. Frank is a great singer, but this one is not his best.
That's not the original version tho, the og version is by Tom Jobim and Vinicius de Moraes, it has no English in it.
You can't beat the sound of Getz sax no way, even when the Franky's is a very good one it can't reach the level of the original.
Sinatra all the way.
You shoulded have heard the original version which is all in portuguese
the genre its not jazz, its a brazillian genre called Bossa Nova and its very apreciated here in brazil
Perfil: VAI TOMA NO CU KKKKKKKKKKK
mas é, de resto so foi fato
@@spokelse__ WTF MENO KKKKKKKKKK
@@nort5310 QUE ISSO KKKKKKKK COE COE
Just put some images of Ipanema beach and Rio sunset and you will see which version is best. This song is about a beautiful Ipanema girl called Helô Pinheiro that Tom Jobim while sited at a bar he used to see her walking down to Ipanema Beach. If you want a Bossa Nova piece “in loco” just check this Bebel Gilberto DVD
m.th-cam.com/video/4rlzdn9xk6c/w-d-xo.html
The original is so perfect and is a reference in sound quality. That said, I can understand how Sinatra might have felt like he simply had to do it. He succeeded in giving it a stamp of middle-of-the-road 50s style sway. In general, I would advise that unless an artist can give a song some new worthwhile aspect/dimension, don't bother covering it. There are a few great cover versions of songs. The most amazing example was when Sammy Davis Jr recorded Mr. Bojangles - completely transforming it and very different from the original song which was a country song in flavor. Check out the studio version by Sammy Davis.
Yes :)
Both were great. Original feels so ad lib with classic jazz instrumentation while Sinatra's was more structured with strings adding a contemporary flare. I seriously have to pass on this one. Both were 5.0. Please do "Sacrifice" original Elton John vs remake Sinead O'Connor.
This was a tough one to start with lol. Thanks Rosen
@@jpmp1201 Check out Angelo Badalamenti. Mostly known for his film scores for David Lynch among others. He has an atmospheric writing style. He's a sensitive keyboardist. And when the whole band chimes in, it is a mix of neo-noir mixed with blues and jazz. I highly recommend you try him out. He also wrote a few songs/LPs for Julee Cruise. Anything from the soundtracks of Blue Velvet or Twin Peaks or Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Had to mention this on this jazz reaction. Peace.
Oh yes, the first music brazilians learn to play on the violão, then they learn how to play faroeste caboclo.
Too close to call. Both good.
Darling baby❗️
:D
João Gilberto created the genre.
Like many people said, this is not jazz, is Bossa Nova. Sinatra is great, but the original version is always the best.
Getz/Gilberto, not Stan/Getz
0:59 Saying out loud: Hm. Interesting // Inside his thoughts: I WANNA PUNCH YOU RIGHT NOW!
Wow first video I came across with 0 dislikes
It's a miracle!
Tom e Vinicius é a versão original.
Quem n sabe?
@@laissolpraialuamar418 deve ter alguém né, ngm é obrigado a saber tudo.
Astrud Gilberto NEVER sing (never!) before she does this record. This is your FIRST record, ever in her life! Never studies sing or music, never do a show, nothing!! Bossa Nova is about this. Softly in life and in everything in life. Because this, she sings... better. She is "THE" Bossa Nova style, at this moment in her career. Frank is a king, but not in this informal reign...
I think I prefer Sinatra's version because his voice is just so great, but it's a very close call.
Thanks for playing Wesley! SUCH a close call
I know both versions and prefer Sinatra for one obvious reason. The song is based on a bossa nova rhythm, and only one song had any audible drumming/percussion in the song. In regards to rating, I am a bit confused on a 5 rating. I get the song is old and nostalgic and it's cool that you have the jazz element in the song. Are we trying to be politically correct, because we have famous jazz artist starring in them? Would these songs be a 5 rating when they first came out, to the people that listen to them back then? I enjoyed the musicianship in both songs, I liked the vocals in the Sinatra version more. In regards to the melody it was just ok for me, I was more interested in the music and the bossa nova groove. Sinatra 4.0 Getz 3.0.
On original vs cover, I'd love if you looked into early reggae with "Please Don't make me Cry" Winston Groovy and UB40 or "Johnny too Bad" by the Slickers also covered by UB40. I like the latter more.
Nah, like how we base our ratings closer to how much we'd actually listen to/enjoy the songs. I enjoy both a TON, but I just prefer the style on Getz rather than the Sinatra version. I also listen to that album a lot so hey, that could absolutely have something to do with it, lol.
-JP
@@jpmp1201 I went to hear the Getz recording again but on youtube and there is actually drumming. When I listen to the recording on your channel I couldn't make out the drums and the bossa nova groove. I guess the echo in the room muddied the sound on your recording. Changed my mind, I like the Getz version better, since I can now clearly hear the drumming.
Não é Jazz, é Bossa Nova
Not even close -in my book-. Gilberto & Getz present a lazy Latin bossa nova where the narrative is front stage. The Gilberto version casts the listener in a cafe in Ipanema people watching. A girl walks by at the delight of her cat callers.
Sinatra's version (to me) is egocentric, in that the performer is front stage (sung in first person). This point of view changes the narrative entirely. Now the audience isn't the person watching a girl walking past cat callers. No, now the listener IS the cat caller.
To me it comes down to choosing whether you want to be a people watcher romantically describing what today would be identified as sexual harassment, versus being the sexual harasser.
I am a romantic, so I choose Gilberto and Getz. I think you two were very diplomatic in your analysis, good job.
Love the description DZ. Hilarious, yet accurate.
If admiring a pretty girl walking by Ipanema beach promenade, smiling at her but not saying a word, can be described as sexual harassment, then I think we're in a sad world. The song doesn't mention the watcher's age, so he can just be a shy boy the same age as hers. Or even another girl. Not everything in this life needs to be criminal, perverted or sick, there's still place for poetry and romanticism.
