A lesbian covering a song about a female originally written from a man's

pov about a female. Don't have to change any pronouns.

Always kinda interesting when a woman covers a song from a man's point of view, straight women sometimes just do it straight up, doing the song, but not playing the role as a woman which would require changing the pronouns.

For some reason Astrud Gilberto really adds something to "Girl from Ipanema" and I'm not sure why, It's a song about girl watching (OK, I know) certainly from a guy's pov, yet her voice adds to the plaintive sound I guess but it's still about a guy watching girls.

Rachel sings this but then notice they had the guy passively sing the refrain near the end which puts it back in context. Camera work on this is terrific.
