I love how invested Jeff is in the performance, a real class act - and tbh I hold nothing against him but this is a lot better than the last time he played piano on the show, probably because he has the band backing him up
Remember "The right stuff"? There´s a scene with JG in front of the TV-set, where´s a quiz show going on and they´re playing some music. "Straighten up and fly right" was the title...
She's taking a break, doing a bit of smooth and sultry Imelda, for a change of pace after more than 15 years of Rock'n'Roll, but I strongly suspect she'll be back before long. So don't get your knickers in a twist, you don't need to fear change.
I think the rockabilly thing was more her ex husbands genre or maybe she just wanted to go more mainstream. She was ace at it so I hope she goes back to it some day.
Imelda can sing ANYTHING , but I would love her to cut a jazz record like Julie London/do "torch songs" like Ruth Etting - she has the range and acting ability to do a great job on this repertoire and would be vocal rest compared to her Rock repertoire.
