Ed Harcourt he deserves great credit here as well. His exuberant interpretation and impeccable timing really helped Sophie to shine here. Very well done!

Think you need to look up what underrated means mate.

Nobody Does It Better than Sophie Ellis Bextor! Full stop! She is a GODESS!

Sophie Ellis-Bextor quite simply one of the most enchanting beings in existence.

Isn’t Sophie Ellis-bextor such a lovely mother of 5 boys, looks so wonderful & has the best singing voice. ❤️❤️❤️

Sophie has a style all her own and this is really sweet.

I'll never be able to listen to this song without thinking of Alan Partridge acting out the opening scene and credits of The Spy who loved me

Credit where credits due, Ellis-Bextor absolutely nails this! Pure talent! Anyone who can sing as well as this, live, at the drop of a hat, gets a thumbs up from me anytime! Plus her mum is still gorgeous! 🙂

Oh Gosh, she is so melodious, so enveloping and so sophisticated. The truth is I don't understand how there are people who give fingers down to this performance done by her here live. She is great and my ears love her voice! 😍📱🎧🎶🎶🎶💯👍🏻😉

MY GOD, had a rough day, a funeral, bloody made an old sailor ball his eyes out like a good 'un, thank you absolutely beautifull🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

You're the best, Sophie. I just love your voice. You definetely deserve to sing the title of a future James Bond film. A big hug for a talented singer.

Not fair to keep comparing this to the original, she is singing this live, along with a single electric piano in a cramped small room. Pretty amazing considering.

I love the original, but the Bextor belted it out of the (literal) park - I thought a studio performance would be clear and better, but go check out her in the park, Phenomenal.

Compare it to Carly's live performance. The pianist didn't learn it properly either.

Well, Carly Simon does and also Radiohead.

Top stuff , this lady is brilliant, great piano too.

She just keeps getting better and better as an artist :)

Awe she is darling I know she could tear into this song too but she's blushing shy - such a beautiful voice!

Great voice pure quality

Sweetness, you're the best indeed. So full of talent!

Brilliant! About time somebody covered this. Nice one, Soph. Baby you're the best! Needs an orchestra for the end. 💖

Sophie’s version is superb!

I wish SEB would do more songs like this as opposed to the disco stuff she usually does. She's obviously got the voice for it. Excellent video. Edit: Just listened to SEB's 'Wanderlast' album. Excellent. Not the disco fest I was expecting. Really enjoyed it.

What a perfect voice x

That was amazing, what a voice.

My favourite cover of all time sung by my favourite female singer of all time.

One of the greatest tracks

The original Carly Simon vocal will never be bettered. However I thoroughly enjoyed Sophie's gorgeous interpretation, easily the best cover of this song I've ever heard.

she comes pretty close to the known studio recording. Though this song doesnt need the tremolo in the voice, but the punch Carly Simon put in it, IMHO. Anyway, this is a version I'd put on my playlist.

Carly Simon just called to say she’s blown away by this cover of her song!!

Magically beautiful...and yes....nobody does it better than sophie!! You are the best!!

Great vocal talent

This is a great version of what is a classic James Bond theme. Miss Ellis-Bextor isn't just a pretty face...she has the pipes to match...and what's more, they're well tune!

This song is her..... Nobody dose it better.... She is just perfect in every way ✌️

❤, since hearing her live last year on Ken Bruce show, become a big fan

Beautiful cover!!! 🔥

I love this song, and sung by Sophie it's just magic 😍

hats down for this top notch performance! grade A+++++

Just lovely!

Fantastic interpretation

Very good effort Sophie - I love the English accent coming out in the voice of this Yummy Mummy

Beautiful 🤩 voice , the world 🌎 needs more of this right now , done with all the hate 🙏

Stunning.......well sung Sophie xx

Excellent version of a underrated classic song.

Great cover!

Awesome cover

Absolute delight!

Credit where credits due that’s a mighty fine cover.... simple as

this is simply fabulous...

Beautiful natural voice ❤️

Magnificent voice and makes this song her own. Nothing like modern singers whose trend seems to be not to pronounce the endings of the words ;)

Top drawer Sophie, this is gold.❤❤❤

This is quite stunning

sublime. 10/10

I like the way she sings in her BRITISH accent.

Im haaaaaapy to see u and hear u! Be blessed, u and ur family and all the ones u love!

There is something extra about Sophie...I want to give her a bear-hug :-)

Beautiful

Sophie Ellis-Bextor covers a lot of people in performances mainly, and tries to express that it's a tribute to those originals that she grew up with. And to those who shaped her into the artist she's become, like Carly Simon... Just because an artist covers someone they admire, doesn't mean they're trying to compete. Now, if she were trying to re-release her cover as her own single? How about, it sounds good for a cover... let's take it for what it is, and not mark it up or down with all of these "original" comments. It makes a lot of people sound like purists, and I'm not sure why they would come around to comment if they didn't understand that. It's not better, it's not trying to be. It just sounds good.

+aesthetik Although.. if she did an LP of covers, I'd buy it. Susanna Hoffs has done it. Not in a shoddy way either.

Love this Ellis-Bextor performance. Way better than the performance she did of this song at the concert held outside Buckingham Palace following the closing ceremony of Beijing 2008.

Awesome cover 👏🏻👏🏻

Großartig! Magnificent!

Fabulous!

Best Bond theme ever

Fantastic

Amazing …wishes from Bangkok

Carly Simon's version to me is still the best. But give Sophie credit she does do an excellent version

In addition, she should be the voice of the soundtrack of the next James Bond movie, definitely! 👌🏻💯🙏🏻

How lovely

very sweet

Beautiful!! Fantastic!!! But, forever a Carly Simon song!!

love the song! luv the singer! luv the keyboard player! er, anyway! ta!!! i enjoy!!!!ya!!

IMO this is the best version of this song ....

Oh my... hermosísimo!

Love this’s

I wish Sophie covered more songs ..

she should release this

Wouldnt she make the BEST BOND girl ! ? James bond gonna MARRY this one!

Sophie... you are so fine... You have melted my heart.

Nice Color Voice Sophie! :-)

Who's here on a SEB binge?

Brilliant, as one can expect for so an artist as she is. I still prefer Carly Simon version, maybe because I heard it before. However, kudos to you Sophie.

I love you Sophie...❤❤❤🎱

If the next James Bond movie doesn't use Sophie Ellis-Bextor for its main title theme, it will be a crime against music and Britishness.

Hearing this in an English accent sounds amazing

That's some training, right there. Fair play SEB!

Nice version

Sophie, is such a cool chick.

Actually ... she's the best

Why d'you have to be so good, Sophie?

I am curious what a cover of "For your eyes only" would sound like with her voice - this one was promising.

Marvin Hamlisch wrote this tune (not David Arnold). Just to avoid any false assumptions.

You did it better! The woman that keep your accent!

Bloody hell that is good. Still love Carly though.

I'm mad at you lot in the UK for keeping this amazing talent hidden from us here in the U.S.. Guess I can't blame you though, you tried to give us Roxy Music and we didn't take them seriously. She is awesome.
