[destiny]

her voice, her hair, her dress, the orchestra, the piano and the sun almost finished setting in the background, im honestly kinda obsessed

[bpatrickkramer]

So excited and proud of Allison! She’s a former student of mine and we always knew she was destine for greatness...this is stunning!

[charlesphilips]

Every song that PMJ covers instantly becomes magical. I really love this one.

[joshhickeysmoviereviews]

This sounds like something that would play at the end of an Apocalypse movie. Especially the “where did we go wrong?” part

[ianmartinezcassmeyer]

I'd love to see what you guys could do with Elton John's "I'm Still Standing."

[thanesgames]

You know what's weird? She has some of the best Jazz club singer arm movements around, just incredibly expressive and perfect for the moments in the song. I assumed she had been doing it for many years to get that good.
But her other videos are generally her with a guitar ... and she is ridiculously young. I'm not sure she has ever performed like this before. Just a perfect natural.
She has a life full of amazing performances ahead of her.

[joebill]

The most unexpected and soulful cover of this song I have ever heard.

[ninnusridhar]

I think the genius of this cover it actually highlights the somber tones of the song. Like the whole thing is usually set very sunshiney, but the lyrics themselves are PERFECT for a sad and somber moment.

[Fizzbin]

This young lady is an absolute joy, such a voice, makes an old grumpy soldier's heart melt.

[JoshTurnerGuitar]

Marvelous work Allison, Scott and everyone. I love it!

[MiaMaven]

She looks like a Greek goddess painting has come to life.

[bufordt.justice]

I’m sure that Jeff Lynne (founder of ELO) is VERY proud of Allison’s performance on this video. She’s found a way for this song, which is one of my life long favorites, to touch my heart in a different way, equally as enjoyable.

[assasinsmine]

I've never seen someone who looked just like a marble statue came to life. Beautiful song, beautiful music. Best rendition of Mr. Blue Sky I've heard so far.

[JustayJess]

I could see this playing as a sort of bittersweet ending at the end of some form of dystopian movie. Or perhaps a spy film

[Jinx]

You just can't help but smile at this song no matter the style. It's just one of those feel-good songs.

[ingethorsen]

Probably the best cover I've ever heard....and that said from a ELO fan who has followed the group for nearly 45 years.
Magnificent voice and magnificent orchestration from PMJ😊

[jaelie]

I'd like to see PMJ do a jazz cover of Ocean Man by Ween

[tess]

There is something special about this song.

The original never fails to bring me joy. Even when i'm sad it makes me hop around the room like a giddy idiot.

This cover is so calming, it's great to just soak it in and enjoy the beauty. Would be great to get back to normal when stressed.

Impressive how you changed the song to have the excact oposite effect on me without making it unrecognisable.

[TheGuitologist]

What an absolutely captivating performance. The genius of Jeff Lynne coupled with this amazing and alluring singer is almost too much.

[CH-esup]

Proof that good music is good music. And this rendition is absolutely beautiful!!!
