Vilain critics it`s part of the thing when you have the guts to share this openly. Most of the times it comes from people on borderline (in the clinical sense), who are just too bitterd of their own confussion and project their frustration on you and everybody else they can. You are good and beautiful. I bet you are further now in your carier. Anyway, you MUST do something with that voice. Thank you.
Erik, vilain and frustratred `critics` is part of the thing when you you have the guts to share this openly. It comes from people on the borderline (in the clinical sense), who are dissapointed by their on life, they project their own confussion on you and and everybody else they can. There is a genuine sense of harmony your voice. I bet you are by now further in your carier. Anyway, do something with that voice and feeling. Besides, you are beautiful. Thank you.
Eric, thanks for the song and go ahead sharing your feelings. Don't care about buenosdiers and zeekwolfe comments, rats and wolves know nothing about music.
I don't know why people come on to this website and show all their ugliness and bitterness when they comment. I guess that is easy to do when no one can see you. But personally, I thought you did an excellent job singing this and I am a native English speaker. Well done!
Beautiful voice, but the song should have been simpler made, and you dont have to do the voice-stuff you do at every end of a sentence, it should only come from the heart.
Eric, It's been a year since I first favorited this song. I still like it as well as Mathis' version. People and cruel when they have the luxury of hurling stones anonomously. You have the perfect sense of humor to be a YouTuber. I can't believe how you laugh off people's insults and then make a self-depricating joke on top of it! But I would to request a serious performance of The Shadow of Your Smile that's not in a cold basement in New York's winter.
I like this interpretation very much...it´s gentle, full of tenderness but not "glossy melancholy". As to the lyrics, it is very difficult to translate something so fragile and romantic one as this song (as to me one of the worst item is to transform French lyrics into English because there are very different vehicles of expression in these too languages...it´s same as for example very powerful Edith Piaf´s son Misericorde or Non, je ne regrette rien (the English version was not so moving one...
I saw this movie yesterday at my english class and I love the songs, especially this one. Thanks for the translation in english. Good voice and piano.
Fantastic vocal control! I actually like the message of the song much better in the English rendition. It's pretty in French, but deeper and more touching in English.
I do know French. I just think that "I will wait a thousand summers for you...'til your by my side, 'til I'm touching you" is a more romantic message than, "please don't leave me, don't go...I won't make it. I will die if you leave me." --Just an opinion.
Where's your decorum? I think your voice is awesome; I love your style. Reading this comment form you about Liza Minelli was a surprise. I'm not a huge fan of hers, but your comment was kinda tacky. When you've gotten to the point where you'd be more clearly in the position to issue such criticism, then so be it. Til then, be humble.
I agree. Liza's version is surprisingly horrid. She exhibits no vocal control. It's downright sloppy. Eric's is by far the best rendition of this song on the net.
I think you have such a talented voice i especially enjoyed 'love is stronger than we our do you have a CD?' If so where can i buy it
