Kara DioGuardi & Dave Stewart Taking Chances

[quyulis]

she is 1of the most talented girl i have ever seen!!!

[whawuzit]

Thumbs Up If You're Watching This In 2O11 . :]

I Love This Song. <3

[KMCIPRIAN70]

Probably one of the best recordings of Kara!!!

[JuiaWu328]

Kara is my favorite! All the songs she's written for other people... no one has ever been able to sing a single one better than herself!

[candysamuels]

love this...

[skaterdbl]

One of the best songs ever made.

[POcherubino]

I love her voice. She is so amazing

[POcherubino]

I love her voice.

[landth78]

I hate myself for wondering why she was chosen to be a judge back when I first saw her on American Idol

[r0ck99videos]

I wish she would release an album

[digimaso1]

fucking great ong, you guys rock this one, and Kara is such an amazing songwriter. awesome!!!!!! coll take.

[seanloveshillsongsau]

Absolutely gorgeous. I loved it. I like Celine's too, but Kara sings it with a lot more emotion than Celine. Celine has the more powerful range and better control, but Kara sings it with sooo much more emotion. And I think that is because she wrote the song. :P

[Ashique4241532]

The moment she opened her mouth, I was like WOW! 

[karaven23]

BEAUTIFUL. <3 Kara writes such good songs. And oh, she sings so well too! :)

[fourdsstudio]

Hi,im greg h. the owner of fourdsstudio i got your video. the girl sang that song very well.i would like to record her.send me info.how i can contact you.

thanks.

[DarkSlayer224]

She wrote the song

[jking2lucedu]

she is really amazing! i do love celine dion's version but love this too :)

[majec54]

why the hell she is not singing , i mean making albums?

[MrMizari]

@majec54 She tried. Weirdly enough, her singing career didn't take off. Just goes to show how stupid the industry has gotten today. Signing bullshit rap and tossing raw talent like this away. But I think her song-writing abilities is ten times better than her singing, and seeing as her singing is perfect -- she's doing the right thing.

[majec54]

@MrMizari I fully agree :) btw ,is she writing lyrics only or also composes music? Excuse my ignorance but i never had her record in my hands...bloody internet!

[MrMizari]

@majec54 I believe for the time being she's just a writer and producer. Although, she's created quite a lot of these videos; so clearly her love of singing is still there. Never know what the future holds. And her album came out quite a bit of time ago. Google her Wikipedia page. There may be a link on there.

[evemarie1107]

Love the song and how Kara is singing it here, really great performance, putting her all into it. Great story in her book 'Helluva High Note' about how she wrote this song with Dave Stewart

[evo8in203]

it was a awesome song, she's one of the best.. and so hot...

[lilbussy]

Funny thing..on idol I didnt see why she was a judge..but now I realize she deserved more than that....si would have never guessed that she wrote many so many songs, i love....She is a true artist...

[hyperbot11]

OMG Kara you can be Rachel Berry's sister!!! i can see the resemblance! XD

[r0ck99videos]

She's one of the best singers i heard in a long time.

[KWANLOONGTER]

Kara is definitely awesome, there are lots of songs she wrote that people don't know. She's very talented.

[HeartsUnfold]

She has so much emotion when she sings which makes it that much better. I really don't think people appreciate just how talented she is, as a singer and especially as a song writer. If she put a CD out, it would be AMAZING

[laur3nXo96]

GOOSEBUMPS.! ♥

[xoabercrombie28]

Omg, she's so good

[92Dionne]

The ending part she sang it well!NICELY DONE overall :) What a talented woman.

[magiclac]

why it is said to be their song? not celine dion one!

[veronica56478]

@magiclac  Kara wrote this song Celine just singed it with her

[Ichisokeno]

@magiclac They recorded it first... Celine's version is actually a cover... a good one tho

[audioproducer88]

@Ichisokeno Kara recorded a demo of this song which doesn't make it an official version. The demo was made actual singer (Celine) how the song is suppose to be performed so technically Celine is the first to do this song.

[Ichisokeno]

@audioproducer88 no.. according to what i read, she released it as platinum weird... celine's version is a cover to the best of my knowledge... do check and tell me

[lebanonlovr13]

even tho i honestly think kara is rly fake she's actually a rly good singer. im rly happy i stumbled across this video

[CoryAllenStaats]

Awesome!

[SydneyRover]

Dave is a legend!

[MRIperide]

vocal coach e autrice della mitica celine...lei pure non è niente male...per fare una battutina...è una grande e si sente!!

[jondoliyem]

M a big Fan of urs!!!!but why dun make ur own album?stop making people song...just sing it...ur really great!!!love u...

[sillyandy123]

So I heard this song Glee version and was thinking man where did i hear this before....it took me a while and finally remembered watching this video a couple months back... talk about impactful <3

[cmcyeah14]

she sings by heart :)

[Olie1377]

Was Kara the girl that was singing with Dave on Platinum Weird?

[cmcyeah14]

@Olie1377 yes :)

[SydneyRover]

@Olie1377 Yes she was the girl.

[saltwatercb]

@Olie1377 Yes, it is Kara on Platinum Weird.

[snicklefritzie]

I LOVE the tone of her voice.

[sooshi2008]

i think she sounds better because she wrote it

[jfieser]

What a beautiful voice to go with a beautiful person! Awesome job Kara!!!

[williamusic2]

wow! kara is a tremendous singer. who knew! would love to see her release a record that's as stripped down as this performance.

[SterlingRe]

If all Kara did was sing she would easily be a recording star if not a superstar. Very impressive but not surprising as I knew she was the real deal from previous videos. Very talented lady.

[saritsiribud]

It'd be great if Kara and Celine does a real duet for one album

[Kewlster1]

lea micheles was my fave

[MoonInHerEyesx]

OH DAMN.

I still hated her on AI and glad she's gone, but she's HELLA talented. And I love this version over Celine's AND Glee's. And for me that's saying A LOT.

[lunaposas]

i love her songs.....too no boundaries didn't translate well. I thought a lot of her comments on AI were a little strange but i am gonna miss her.

[sgitt12391]

@aprillovespaula don't you'll grow up and figure out what good music Is one day

[calleigh31323]

HER VOICE IS LIKE......PERFECTION!

[sgitt12391]

@aprillovespaula celine did not have the level of emotion that only the song writer could have...kara did and used that to her advantage...celine just doesn't have the soul to pull off kara songs...vocal chops yes soul no.

[AprilLovesPaula]

@sgitt12391 whatever celines better

[ynnhojhairam]

@AprilLovesPaula Are You Plugging Your Ears And saying nanny nanny like a 12 year old? celine a retarded moron.. lol

[AprilLovesPaula]

@ynnhojhairam i am 13 and whatever celine is better to me

[sgitt12391]

She blows celine out of the water! Completely!

[AprilLovesPaula]

@sgitt12391 no celine sang this song better than kara i love celine dion and celine has better voice than kara and kara is good at singing but i dont like her

[ynnhojhairam]

@AprilLovesPaula Celine Sounds AllNasal And Nose Plugged Up Twangy retarded accent... Kara ia perfect... Clean your ears!

[AprilLovesPaula]

@ynnhojhairam i do and kara is just plan annoying

[SuperGlomas]

he looks like a cheeky member

[papermario555]

I love her voice wow!

[Slut60]

omg its almost as if she has an auto tune in her mouth

sooo completely flawless, strong and clear

beautiful

[Nissim06]

She wrote this song and Celine sings it. I prefer her over Celine hands down. She lives the song

[smallrubs]

wow this is really good

[eduardomicet]

dave rocks! 

[ImAlecDale]

I think Lea Michele's version is better.

[ImBettingOnAlice321]

@ImAlecDale lea michele has an amzing voice as well but her version was soo autotuned

[Nina177athe]

SHE WAS AMAZING!!! She has so much control and knows how to listrn to the music and express the song from a different light. She's an artist!

[parachuteboi]

at 3:12 i started to become bored.

[parachuteboi]

Celine's version blow her out the water with the power vocals.

[iSharrr]

3:58 - 3:59 she thought he wanted to highfive her. XD

[parachuteboi]

@iSharrr LOL, she got owned! :P

[fabfashionisto]

I got chills from her voice

[DIONETO]

Very talented. Both of 'em.

[wprivera]

Holy Shit...! I had no idea she was such an AMAZING vocalist. She should record her own album. I would absolutely buy it...!

[MultiEcyoj]

if i'm not mistaken she wrote this for celine dion...love it,i love kara's voice!

[aRoseByAnyOtherName]

it's good to know that at least one of the people judging a singing contest actually knows how to sing

[Karliang]

@aRoseByAnyOtherName YES she's qualified to judge!!

[topswr]

Jst love her!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[excusemeporfavor]

and she's sitting...

[Nitromick20]

Awesome, she is soo good!

[greenpokerchip]

if kara joins american idol, she could pretty much make it on the top 3! ahhaha she's amazing.

[VaneKristine]

Wow, amazing

[rodrigo412]

unbelieveable, she is 40 :O

[MyJokestar]

@rodrigo412 OMG, AND SHE'S SINGLE, MEN OF THE EARTH, WAKEE UPPP.:D

[Badger100260]

Fan - bloody - tastic

[brunell4070]

it hurt my ears

[SJEC15]

SO SO MUCH better than Celine Dion.. you put the way Celine sings it to shame!!!!

[SteamFanHannover]

I did not know.

This is pure brilliance.

Honestly: Céline Dion is an unreachable singer, the BEST! But knowing that Kara wrote this song makes her a hero as well. And she sings it brilliantly. Kudos!

[AllanDavidRock]

i was strataspherically uplifted to tears by the passion of this performance.keep going the world needs a great singer songwriter.g d bless looking forward to hearing more great songs.

[darrenlora]

inspirational, really!

[jescilla]

u noe wat..the whole time i was watchin Idol..i just thought of Kara as another judge who didn know any better and was only there to talk..in other words, just like Paula..and boy was i wrong..SO wrong..i found out that she wrote a hell lotta great songs..and obviously she can really sing, cant she..? try 'Kara dioguardi singing Terrified'..she wrote that too..she is sooo talented..!

[AReid1380]

I think she sounds like Tina Arena. I think it's also meaningful to point out that Kara wrote this song, so technically she's not covering Celine ;)

[interstones]

wow!!!! this woman is just plain amazing now isn't she....

[meitali101]

amazing

[91karol]

omg... very expressive... just beautifull :)

[BeRsErKeR16]

hahahaha what the fuck... did they do at the end? LMAO

[elleira128]

Amazing cover. You can absolutely tell how hard they worked on this. Dave's guitar skills are amazing. You can tell he's feeling the music. Kara's voice is amazing, as well. Although, if I do say so myself, no one can compare to Miss Dion, she comes very close. She put everything into singing this song. Amazing. Absolutely amazing.

[spanderholic]

@elleira128 I agree it's an amazing version of the song :D But you do know that this is in fact their song right? As in, they wrote it... I love it when the writers sing their songs :D

[zenstain]

I had no idea she could sing like this. Amazing voice, pitch perfect, and the song is beautiful. Why isn't stuff like this being played on the radio instead of the formulaic recycled crap being churned out??

[arturesteve]

@zenstain They have released a full album a couple of years ago, plus this song as a single and a re recording of one of the songs in their album, pretty good stuff under the name Platinum Weird.

[keytarpimp]

Very good.

[60viking]

Now with feeling. Ha ha that was great , must be cool to do something you like so well.

[sunshineonme0126]

honestly celine dion can over dramatize a song, i think this song is better off for kara.

[arturesteve]

@sunshineonme0126 Agreed. I always say that no matter the voice, when the writer performs the song, it beats everything...it's just not the same.

[sunshineonme0126]

@arturesteve Yes, of course. I think it's because it really is their own song and it's their hard work put into it. With them singing it, you can really grasp the emotion they are trying to send out. Just like the other songs I've listened to written by Kara ("Terrified", "No Boundaries") =]

[louiemarfil016]

AMAZING! thumbs up. . .

[ptmpvn]

awesome, except for her outfits

[engine22emt]

celine needs to step aside for this> i mean Kara is the whole package

no doubt about it.

[thaisnx0]

Awesome!!!

[jambaladaya]

for me, this is better than celine's version/..

[voltaireramirez]

Brilliant!

[sandra201066]

woww she is so great... i give you 10 **********

[janibean313]

You can tell she's totally into every second of this song and belting every note with such emotion. She's an awesome singer!

[StephanieAnnise1969]

Damn, Kara can sang her ass off!!

[dbsl87]

i like her version of taking chances better than Celine Dion's.

especially when she hits the high notes and when she goes soft.

she makes the song way more sweeter and easier on the ears:)

[CJMoneymom]

Where is the LOVE IT! button when I need it??? Personally, I like her singing it better than Celine. Don't throw bricks...there's just a different passion coming from the one who wrote it. I love this and wish I could buy it...

[AkOn2732]

Kara DioGuardi Is amazing, She should make an album it would be a number 1 hitttt

I hope she sings on Idol next season and play Terrified with Jason Reeves

[MetroGrass]

Absolutely Amazing!! Best renedition I have ever heard....Raw!

[EmpressAdrienne]

i think kara sings and sounds so much better without a mic! she's not like other singers where they actually need a mic and all these fancy studio stuff to make her voice sound smooth and beautiful

[imagleekareyou]

as good as celine dion

[JayEmm96]

I love her singing!

[Errghhh]

im always amazed at how good kara is at singing

[marinax0x1]

i love kara <3 and i would do anything to meet her<3

[vikkiandnikkicola]

@tubebullies omg wtf

[ehreeka]

vocally better than celine's version. The notes are spot on! shes really good.

[MissLiz3]

I really dislike her personality (not just on AI) and I don't think she's as great of singer as she think she is but I think she's pretty good :)

[cherzsmileyy]

nothing like hearing the composer sing!

[goodboygonebad19]

unbelievably amazing =) like kara's song

[sh857456]

Damn. I always just thought Kara was the bitch on American Idol but wow, she is extremely talented! Beautiful!

[kaynay1220]

@sh857456 I thought the SAME EXACT THING! lol

[itme8]

amazing!

[gpiuape]

oh !! i like it .she wrote this song for celine dion..... i love when the piano start to play... !

[ynnhojhairam]

@gpiuape kara's version was released on itunes a year before celine did the cover... she wrote it for herself. =o)

[mahpignatari]

i think she sings this song so much better than celine. i mean, don't get me wrong,celine is an awesome singer, i love her voice and all, but kara rocks this song. maybe cause it's hers (:

[sdraleo]

omg this is brilliant!! i didn't know she could sing so well, or that she wrote so many great songs.

[Beechbaybee]

another excellent piece of work! thx Kara 4 sharing with us!

[nowi33]

Um, Celine Dion covered this from Platinum Weird, and Kara wrote this song originally.

[vivaciouskate]

oh my gosh! Kara is amazing! I love her.. demand to see her on Idol performing this on stage. :)) go Kara!

[SuperSabra2]

Okay i swear i have watched this 1,000 and i still watch it everytime i even touch a computer :) <3

[princesspaulyndinise]

i think she is a genius...good song writer and singer love her...

[bballsinclr]

wow I never new she could sing. This is awsome and she has an amazing voice!!

[OstanieKiel]

KICK ASS !! AWESOME !!

[NannyDiaries23]

kara is such an amazing singer/songwriter!

[gabyta5th]

she need an album

[kellyb228]

Kara is a skank...she ruined Idol!

[HungryVermilingua]

Annie is much more prettier, and sounds way better.

[RythexD]

where can i download the song that has only kara singing it it? ;o

[dvsinger1]

Ok so let me start by saying i have been a Celine fan since I was 6 or 7. KARA KICKED CELINE'S ASS ON THIS SONG!

[lavender880]

Didn't know Kara was such a great singer...I heard her sing a little phrase (after Katie's Let it Be) on Idol and was surprised, so searched her on youtube. I am pleasantly surprised. She probably isn't putting out a CD because she is making mad money as a songwriter, and if she made a CD she would have to go on a grueling tour. :)

[LQTMyahh]

honestly on idol sometimes i tend to dislike her

but i can NOT deny she is so talented as a singer and songwriter

i love pretty much every song she has written

[Ashleycarper18]

She's awesome

[Crimson121]

WOW! I didn't know she sang...let alone being surprisingly awsome at it.

[foreverandeverbabee]

i am in love. her voice... my lord. amazing. love her.

[galdori1]

i <3 her!!!

[jd8391]

i prefer this version over celine´s one; and i just love whe way she says "chances" in at 1.06.

[As33forme]

Gaahh! I didn't know this was her song. I didn't know she sounds this good.

[45starburst]

gosh... i hated her so much, but now watching this kinda changed my opinion. she's so talented and i wish she could release a album soon! i'll definitely buy it :)

[para0703]

amazingg much??!?!!

:D

[VmarsGgirl]

she is an amazing songwriter!!

[theMACster1000]

wow.. i have a lot more respect for her

[akidogirl]

i respect how she can actually make it big but can resist the potential glamorous life!

[noreexic]

ok kara please please please start writing songs 4 urself!!!!!

[Idolwinner2011]

WOW what a voice! that is a hard song to sing too
