  • Beautiful. Only wish the guitar playing was on camera too. Would like to see it played.

  • I just think you are very very beautiful and very talented. Keep up the good work.. I also noticed too many jealous people couldn't keep their mouth shut.

  • the guitar solo is very beautiful

    and i like your voice too

    but the cover is not good sorry

    more luck the next time

    but nevertheless i give you a thumbs up

    because it is not bad

    but also just not good :)

    nice greetings

  • Somehow, she didn't manage to get the feelings hidden in this song across to me. I think it's her style of singing. Much too unnatural.

  • wow girl, you are playing very well & your voice is wonderful. don´t let all those complainers & nay-sayers bother you. there will be always those nagging, complaning ppl who don´t recognize true art & beauty. maybe they haven´t experienced "true love" yet ;) ?

    your version is one of the most beautiful ones i´ve herad (including the professional recordings).

    keep up the great work. and thank you for posting this.

  • Lovely voice, great version of an old time classic, if this is how you like to sing this song you carry on.......

  • 41 People missed the like butten :)

  • Im very fond of the original song, but this is also a version I like. Im not sure how to find the right words in english except maybe, "great job".

  • You totally fucked up this song....

  • you have a grat voice but this is an old GREAT song so dont destroy it with your version please!!

  • @JCDFU what is there to destroy?? there are dozens of versions, and this one is really good!! she´s doing a great job.

  • Very nice cover. I'm shure Simon and Garfunkel would be proud.

  • I really hate how u ruined the song.

  • @idavisje1 Yeah, she completely ruined the song by playing it in a more realistic area-specific style...moron

  • WOW!!!!!!! I'm spellbound on how you've put your own spin on this. You're extremely talented & very pretty! ;)

  • Sweet voice.

    I've been listening this song for two days constantly.

  • That was magnificent!

  • Comment removed

  • @KingKook this is a traditional folk ballad, the author is unknown, and it´s everyone´s property. there are dozens of versions, and probably many are lost. we don´t know which was the "original" version.

    it´s not forbidden to play & sing it. even if it´s different from other versions. and i think she´s doing a great job both with the guitar playing & the singing. it is a great version.

  • @harpiyon Fair enough. I was being a Troll when I wrote that other comment, so now that I listen to her again, I get what you're saying about the folk thing. BUT, S&G still plays in my mind whenever anyone attempts this tune. Yeah, I know, that's my problem, Ever hear someone do a funk/jazz/polka/Gregorian Chant/flamenco/opera/rap version of this song? Me neither.

  • @KingKook no problem mate, you just said your opinion and that´s totally ok.

    the S & G version might be the most well-known one, but i think it´s not the best one (but neither the worst).

    i´ve been doing some research on this ballad recently & listened to many versions.

    jazz: Kenny Ball, Jean-Michel Pilc Trio, London Jazz Four

    opera: Ewa Malas-Godlewska

    gregorian: the Gregorians :)

    instrumental: dozens

    etc.

    just insert "scarborough fair" & a music style here on YouTube & see what happens :)

  • I am enchanted; sad beautiful voice to go with the celtic style on that guitar. Pretty lady also. Thanks for posting.

  • that was amazing!

  • Wow! You really have a beautiful voice, and i love your guitar work. This is one of the best covers of this song I've ever heard! Thanks for sharing your talent with us.

    Peace

  • YESSSSS! Love it! I'd like to be able fingerstyle and sing like you.

  • Girl!! Awesome! 

  • rob6487 check out her tutorial! no voice editing there! shes got an amazing voice!

  • wow simply amazing! when a song played or sang makes my eyes water, it has hit my soul. Sheila your singing and playing did just that! I admire your talent. Simply amazing!

  • fantastic guitar playin but u HAD to have edited ur voice... i cant believe it sounds that good on its own! either way great video and keep it up

  • This is simply... awesome! Adorable...

    ... and I mean guitar AND voice.

  • Personally I think she did it better than Gypsy Soul....I didn't like Cillette's voice much on Gypsy Soul's version...

  • Bravo!

  • I liked the guitar, but the arrangement for singing wasn't as good as the original.

  • really good but what is celtic about it?

  • @riotgage

    This is actually an old traditional Celtic song, lyrics are easily traced to the 17th century

  • she has the voice of an angle

  • "Fantastic" is really the only word I can think of.

  • it really gives me goosebumps and tears in the eyes..

  • I really like the arrangement. Hard to imagine people dislike it enough to vote that way. Clearly sour people with nothing better to do than pee in others' cornflakes.

  • I really like the arrangement.

  • Beautiful guitar playing, and I like it very much.

    However this is not Celtic. It is R&B or soul. True Celtic voices are not inclined to grandiose key changes and slides. The sound ought to be a little clearer, and the voice less in the chest and sultry, and more bright and open. To call this a Celtic style of singing...please don't. I come from a long line of Celtic singers...and this is not celtic.

  • You win! 

  • Wow, this video is awesome! It deserves to be in a movie!

  • that just blew my mind ty for making this

  • Another fake 'Celtic' bit of nonsense complete with the Simon and Garfunkel problem of singing the simple name Scarborough- Scar bu ruh instead pronouncing it 'Scarbo RO'.What it mess of a lovely English song.

  • omg. i just fell in love. for real.

    Bishop

  • Very nice, love your voice. Keep on singing

  • I have not been feeling well. Your music was a good break from my troubles. Very soothing. 

  • just awesome! you're one of the best musicians i saw around the web and the proof, how music should could from the heart! to that, you look sweet! just perfection! <3

  • Jesus that cover is so great!! Added a new view to this hymn of modern popular music.

  • wtf why are there always some stupid idiots who have to rate excellent videos that bad?!

    You are soo gifted!

  • Sheila!!! You´ve such a great voice and your expressions arrive to the watcher instantly when you begin to sing! It´s just amazing how you changed the song, a very friendly style which gives access to the latter-day word!

    I sing to myself, also on big stages, you know, so I understand from what Im talking about. Really a fantastic performance! You rock!

  • wooow amazing voice like it congrats!!

  • absolutely amazing

  • Beautiful version, really nice. Hope you don't mind if I mention, being a brit who lives near Scarborough... its pronounced Scarburuh.

  • man if I was one of your friends I would love to have you sing this song to me in person

  • This is a really sweet version, nice work. You inspired me looked-up the song on Wikipedia, it's a very old song and has been through a lot of lyrical changes over time, I found it fascinating to read about. Thanks for sharing your talent here on YouTube!

  • WOW!! I've never heard this version/arrangement of one of my top English folk songs! I was mesmerised, Sheila!!! Guess you've seen/heard Sarah Brightman and Celtic Woman's version, etc. I think your voice is very pure. Good to hear without the 'Canticle' of S&G.

  • i must marry you lolgirl this song touches me the lord has blessed you with this song wow keep up the good work mahalo calmingwind

  • Do you have this on iTunes? I am absolutely in love with your rendition! Ive been feeling very "traditionallish" lately and have been reexploring all of my old favorites, such as Scarborough Fair, Toss the Feathers and Lough Erin Shore. I play guitar and tin whistle, and have to say your version of this song was the most beautiful I have heard.

  • Wow, you are great what a lovely rendition. I have also watched your tutorial. I am 53 yr old guy who has started learning to play the guitar only for the past 3 yrs or so and I am enjoying it. I am going to learn this song and record my effort and upload in my channel (I already play the SG version a lill bit!!) and your voice and the way you play both are bewitching, good luck... ramgulwady, mumbai, india

  • nice one. very good.

  • Well... I like your tone, and your guitar playing is awesome, but it seems a little too... popish? I can't really put word to it, but it's a tad too upbeat for me to hear it in the same light that I do Scarborough Fair. I'm pretty sure it's mostly the tempo, though, because your sound is amazing.

  • Did i see Beyonce shining your shoes honey? oh i must be mistaken she's not fit to!

    No, I APPRECIATE listening to someone with TALENT for once, and with that my faith in music is restored! Fed up listening to Simon Cowell clones, you are the real deal!

  • Celtic with a very soulful vocalization, thanks...

  • you have a sweet voice. i love your cover :D

  • Hey. I actually found your video whilst looking to see if Roman (from Gypsy Soul) had posted a video of him playing True Love. I learnt to play it years ago and was just looking to see how he played it (because I worked it out by ear from the cd). So anyway, very nice to hear your version - it's very hard to sing it without being compared to Cillette but actually, you're really great. So well done! :-) Lee

  • Fantastic, playing and singing that can't be easy :-)

  • For sure!!:) I can just get by trying to do both and you are so right. She rocks.

  • you have such a great voice. I dig this version of this song, I'm going to have to check out this Gypsy Soul band you speak of.

  • Lovely and haunting voice. I hope you find some record label to sign you...

  • a voice of a goddess :)

    Great song! well played!

  • nice...

  • i love the way she sang this song wow and she is so hott im in love come to phx az marry me

  • I'm not british, irish or anything close, but i always loved celtic/irish/etc. tunes. This is lovely! Thank you so much for sharing!

  • This is wonderful! (And this is my favorite song!) Thanks.

  • Great voice. Thanks for sharing.

  • I think you're great.

  • @Mokkihewa I think she looks like snooky

  • @gogobrent2 That's exactly what I turned to my b/f & said. This girls is bad/great though.

  • Don't say I don't like, but it sounds a bit more pop that celtic...

  • "Celtic" ?

  • the celtic people, or "celts" (pronounced Keltic, not Seltic) were some of the first settlements in europe and are still found in England, Ireland, and Scotland. They were kinda like druids, and worshiped nature and stuff.

  • I wasn't inquiring what or who were the celts, but how can this song be described to be "in the celtic style" 75-80% of the inhabitants of Ireland and the British Isles

    originate from hunter gatherers who crossed the landbridge from mainland Europe just after the last ice-age that's a good 10,000 years before celts had left Asia.

  • Impressive!  LOL!

  • check out ICS Vortex from Dimmu doing some REAL Celtic stuff

  • wow so beautiful..

  • Wow. Excellent interpretation!

  • gute Stimme! aber leider den Song tooooootaaaaaaaaal verhunzt

  • Wow! i wish i could sing like that! Very well done!

  • how is this remotely celtic?

  • @FrAnK9523 It's not, I think she's trying for Sean Nós style, but it doesn't work... Nice guitar though.

  • Very Beautiful.......

    God Bless,

    Rev. Ken

  • and the bluesmen

  • Very beautiful voice and guitar, but a little over-sung, in an almost gospel/Whitney Houston way and please love - it's not

    SCAR-BO-ROW it's SCAR-BU-RER, sorry for being picky but it grates on the nerves of true yorkshiremen!!!

    Still you are 10 times better than i am -so -wait for it- - - APPN AS NOT THAS REET LASS.

    There, the true salutations of a yorkshiremen.

    lots of love

  • I came here via a visit to your last visitor VVV  I'm glad he visited me, and I'm glad to find him, and now very glad to find you :)

    Small and beautiful world. This is gorgeous!

  • OUTSTANDING!  Beautiful voice and guitar!

  • your sound very sweet

    and the good feelings for the song,

    but fingering.

  • Hola sheila , me encanto tu estilo y tu voz. saaludos (una cancion favorita de simon )

  • One of my favourite songs so beautifully done in a way ive never heard before.

  • You're really talented, and your picking is wonderful!

  • Hermosa..:!!! que bien.:!!

  • Good show Lassie!

  • Cillette truly has a bewitching voice, but her voice is no better or worse than yours. You also have a very sassy nuance in your voice that's very appealing.

    What makes singing good: 1) stay on key, in control 2) feel deeply 3) don't hold it in or be afraid.

    Record and study your own voice, identify good inflections and cultivate them.  Study your favorite singers and imitate. Above all, spend time singing and working on it. No one ever did this and failed to improve!

  • her hair is awesome, isn't it? hey sheila, what shampoo do you use?

  • very nice video, very well sung, apart from you do pronounce 'Scarborough' a little wrong. it isn't 'scarboroo', its more like 'scarbora'

  • Got to love northern English accents :)

  • also, this duo, Gypsy Soul, sounds interesting, but i cant find NEthing of theirs on youtube. care to lend a hand?

  • i went looking for this song because i read a book, Impossible, based off it. I can't remember the author's name, but it began with a "W" if NE1 wants 2 try and find it. great voice! love the video!

  • Nancy Werlin wrote that book. Great book.

    Amazing rendition of the song. Very beautiful

  • Comment removed

  • Thanks!

  • @skhughesband

    Jesus, you have so beautiful voice!!! Gratz!!!

  • That was seriously bone chilling. That's awesome that you like Gypsy Soul. I was beginning to think no one knew about them. I remember when I lived in California, they used to play at South Coast Plaza, the local mall. My parents were talking with them and were going to have them play at the business my dad was working at, but it never quite worked out. We do have a couple signed albums of theirs, which is pretty cool.

  • Sorry it's taken me so long to reply. That's really cool that you know who Gypsy Soul is. I don't know too many people who know who they are, especially in Florida.

  • That was beautiful. Thank you for sharing that. I do not believe I have heard that variation before, but your voice did it justice. Well done.
