A very talented and determined artist . While riding her bicycle in Philadelphia in November 2003, Gardot was struck by an SUV and sustained head, spinal, and pelvic injuries. Confined to a hospital bed for a year, she needed to relearn simple tasks and was left oversensitive to light and sound. Suffering from short- and long-term memory loss, she struggled with her sense of time. Encouraged by a physician who believed music would help heal her brain, Gardot learned to hum, then to sing into a tape recorder, and eventually to write songs. For several years, she traveled with a physiotherapist and carried a transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulator to reduce pain. Given her oversensitivity to sound, she chose quieter music. On the treadmill, she listened to bossa nova by Stan Getz, specifically "The Girl from Ipanema". Unable to sit comfortably at the piano, she learned to play guitar on her back. During her recovery, she wrote songs that became part of the self-produced EP Some Lessons: The Bedroom Sessions. Gardot was reluctant to record her songs at first, stating that they were too private for the public to hear, but relented and allowed her songs to be played on a Philadelphia radio station.

Melody Gardot is a supreme talent.😍🤗

Wow!!! Melody, and the entire band have incredible talent.

Es fabulosa.!! La he descubierto por casualidad pero ha sido una grande sorpresa.

This Lady has created a class for her music. I'm so glad she invited all of us to join her. Ms Gardot please keep up the great work.

I am really grateful for the music, so sophisticated, also for the nice sound of the flute and other musical instruments with harmony, not with magic, yet fantasy in this realm!

What an epic show! That sax player ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️💚💚💚💚⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

Ms. Gardo amazes me with her extraordinary talent and musicianship, as well as her commanding but subtle stage presence. A class act!

This woman simply thrills me. I am a poet, so I get it.

This is SOOO much fun! Love how she changes things up with her various live versions. It must be such a joy to perform with her!

I want to close my eyes and listen, but I can't look away.

This Lady plays the piano like a Goddess. Wait and see.

J'aurais tellement aimé voir un moment musical entre Melody Gardot et Bobby Mc Ferrin. Quelle douceur, quel voyage!

24:40 is my favorite song in the concert.

Amazing talent ... ALL of you!!! Thank you.

Just love it... waaauuuu. Would love to see you live . Congrats

Excepcional cantora! E belíssima!!!!

Оригинально неповторимо и как красивооо! 👏👏👏 Купание в звуках и ритме... Хорошо!..

Una musica bellissima non priva di cedere ad un preciso e comodo esilarante ascolto. Bella Lei.

La más marivillosa voz y sensibilidad que se puede encontrar actualmente en un escenario, eso es Melofy Gardot. Sencillamente extraordinaria.

OMG, superb !!!!! Ela tem samba no pé !!!!!

Powerfully Beautiful and Wonderful!

This Lady plays the piano exellent, she plays the electric guitar, she treats her voice like an instrument. What else can she do? We dont know. Im lucky to recently have discovered this, sorry there aren´t so much listerner. YET.

Mélody dans tous les domaines c'est le soleil🌝☀🌞

Esta clase de adoración me da mucha paz gracias a Dios

Melody Gardot's voice is as sweet as Tupelo honey.

This is her CD, but as I see it, a better version, with more improvisation, more free spirit, more open air. I like this consert a lot. And I also like the cello-player, he is a true musician!

Juste magnifique

The sunglasses tho🤣

A perfect performance.

Love her

So Beautiful! So Extraordinary! ❤

A great concert by great band!

Melody is amazing ❤💕💟

Wow! What a talent!

Swell. I haven´t heard this before. Like it a lot.

"I hope you join me in my toast..." Yes, we will.

Beijo

Where was this concert held

Саксофонист - супер!

La próxima vez que pase por España no me la pierdo

She is acting the DIVA, but as long as she is so talented, so warm, so nice to the public, so filled with inspiration it is OK with me. She can wave her things and stay behind her glasses and have this perfect lipstick and her impossible hat, or what it is, so long as she sings and expresses her the way she do. She is a true musician, and we for sure want her to return to the scene.

Caro dis-moi que je vis un cauchemar

Even if she speaks, it sounds that beautyfull. That´s not my musik, but i´ve never seen something work that good. she knows about her biggest tallent, and let´s us all enjoy her: I don´t know how other musicans ,there under me, are able to find a fuck, to criticize this wonderfull hour. ...thank u Miss Melody Gardot and the other uniques around you. If you see a man loosing tears while he moves like the devil to your danceable once, ....it´s Me. ..ride on..

24:40 Lisboa My favorite 🙂

Many men in these comments have said that they love her, me too. That proves that we dont want a little shy women that says yes and no to all stupidities we utter. No we want a strong woman, an inventor, a partner that can match us. Also in our stupidities. Like Melody. And so my listening for tonight ends with this blessing to her.

Is she even from this planet? Melody and her team, I mean...?

Man! Now that's a woman!

Am i born again or what

She was 27 in this. jus' sayin'
