  • absolutly breath taking such a talent

  • You are very sweet! Thank you for this video but I can't stop crying. I am sending you a big hug from my heart to yours. Just beautiful ! To all who have lost loved ones I am so deeply sorry! Eva had a voice of an angel! So beautiful and so precious!

  • I love this video and the message from it :)

  • Does anyone else feel like she is trying to reach out to touch you? If I had to choose one word to describe her music it would be Truthful. Every word has meaning. It makes it impossible for me not to love her.

  • True Colours T C xx

  • i'm from serbia and this voice is the best i've ever heard, so much soul and beuty

  • this song is flawless.

  • i ♥ eva cassidys music

  • hihi i love try new things and thats why im here

  • oh my word i can't believe im 27 and iv jst discovered eva cassidys music..........i have missed out on a superstar all my life!

  • @oons58, MANY of us missed out, because she died SO young and achieved her greatest popularity after her death. But her music remains VERY much alive, thank goodness!

  • Weird; I didn't know what this song was about until Eva sang it. R.I.P. Eva. No disrespect Cyndi.

  • My song for the most important person in my life

  • Dare to be you.

  • well i love uk

  • Comment removed

  • i prefer cindy laupers but still love eva cassidys version RIP from england..

  • J'aiiiiiiiime !!!! :D♥♫

  • i used to get upset about eva cassidy dying, but now i realise god needed her more

  • @Devilheva666 god has enough talented singers the selfish prick.

  • @hayzerclon he obviously has good taste

  • @Devilheva666 Look at all the useless crap he's "taken"

  • The voice of a true angel.

  • she was such a great singer

  • The short comment beneath the video couldn't be more wrong!

    Be who you are instead.

    or... make who you are to who you want to be

  • 69 dislikes??? Good grief... I just love a good 69... please, no more dislikes, for god's sake! 69 is a such a gracious and magical number, istn't it? 69... ah... delicious!!! 69, the number that one day will bring peace to the world. The world need more 69s and less B-52s and their likes.

  • i have a cushy life. no premature deaths. no life threatening diseases. no true problems but all of eva cassidy brings me to tears. such a sad loss. her memory will will live on in her music. wish i could have seen her live unfortunately i was 4 when she passed.

  • @K10ESW I'm glad to hear your life is rid of so many things. My family is the total opposite. I have a brain tumor which could at some point become life threatening. I've lost all four of my grandparents and I'm only twenty My sister is in financial ruin with three small children. It's noting compared to JChurchRIP, but it isn't a cakewalk either. And by the way, I am not being sarcastic. I really am glad that someone other then me and my family can live a normal life, which I really never had.

  • @JPcorvette78 wow im sorry to hear that. thats dreadful. I lost me grandparents and mum to. my thoughts go out to you and your family. I believe you can get through anything if you stay calm and optimistic. remember your pain is only temporary. look at what you do have not what you don't. things will make you stronger not weaker if you let them. Im 18 and I sound like a 60 year old hahah feel free to hit me up anytime x

  • @JPcorvette78

    thanks

  • Beautiful

    

  • her voice is amazing she amazing

    love you from israel!

  • i can feel the shivers running through my body what a song !!!

  • Thankyou <3

  • my friend said this song is good for a sad time thumbs up if you agree!

  • I can not comprehend your pain. I can not bear to imagine a life without my so. As i write this and listen to Eva the tears are streaming down my face. Take comfort that your son was loved and missed x

  • I Love This Song .

  • she had such a feel for all she did

  • Almost as good as the original :)

  • 68 people are complete idiots!!!!!!!!

  • she kicks Cindy's ass. that's that

  • Incredible amazing song!!

  • be who you want to be? B A R BIE!

  • How can anyone take death so beautifully...R.I.P Eva a joy to this earth. R.I.P to anyone's loved one who has been lost recently...

  • Its not so much a question of who beats who, which version is best....that merely robs the best of both efforts.  I've never heard a really sorry version of this song but IMHO, this is way over the top and stands on its own merits as one of the best, if you need to judge it that way. I prefer to think of it as a gift to all of us and something we benifit from hearing, version by version. Considering Eva's life story, its full of life.

  • one of my best discovery is discovering this singer because her name and my name is the combination of the girl im courting right now Eva and Cassidy :)))

  • you will be missed, s :(

  • Nothing beats Cyndi Lauper, and I don't like covers of amazing artists. But here I am, crying, because this song is amazing. Her voice is amazing. She is amazing. I love this.

  • this song is beautiful...how can you not cry at it? it makes me cry everytime i hear it :( but because it is beautiful and she didnt deserve to die :( R.I.P Eva...may be gone but not forgotten xx

  • when you think bout sum 1 who has passed away this song realy touches you ;)

  • I like this song. But who's the MySpace junkie that put this together?

  • Dear John's mom,

    I promise you that Eva is with your son now singing in heaven.

  • thumbs up if SKY brought you here.

  • Love it

  • Just discovered this singer WOW. Spent the last hour listening to her brilliant what a shame she is not with us but her music will last forever

  • God i know you are happy, happier than before, the best singing angel is now there with you. RIP EVA CASSIDY...

  • Dear Alina,

    listen to the music … i think, there´s no additional comment needed cause i´m sure, you know what i wanna tell you ;-)!

    (And btw have a little look to the lovely picture in 1:41)

    Happy birthday and have a beautiful day and a nice party. Can´t wait to see you in a week.

    Best greetings, see you next weekend. And don´t forget your hikingshoes...

    Rainer

  • i love you peeps and god:)

    

  • i love you peeps and god:

  • God Love you Lovefully and amazing voice you got there!!!

    

  • So. Beautiful. I feel like an angel is singing to me. If this is what awaits me on the other side, I'm not scared to die anymore :)

  • This is classic Eva Cassidy. When she cranks it up and soars you want to fill the house with this sound. Electric guitarist Keith Grimes is so soulful. He makes you want to go right out and buy a guitar and amp and play it in the car before you even get home! Eva's sidemen were the best. Chris Biondo, bass; Raice Mcleod, drums; Lenny Williams, piano. Talk about filling the house with sound, try Eva and Hilton Felton on the Hammond B3 singing Oh Had I A Golden Thread. Eva's favorite song.

  • Eva's music is golden....

  • One of gods greatest angels, Eva. Rip

  • this is absolutely amazing i love it xx

  • "Dare to be different" - love it

  • Eva = one of a kind unique flawless voice. such a beautiful person and such a beautiful voice. i really want everyone to hear this beautiful music so modern day music can recognize what true talent is, because in todays day and age, its not about talent anymore.

  • I always kinda liked Cyndi's version I absolutely love Eva's version!

  • Eva, your songs are all beautiful. You sang them of all your heart feelings and smooth voice that you had and they are here to help us to get all our problems over. I love your songs and they are helping me to live these world without those who I love and passed away already. Rest in peace !!!!

  • adoro questa canzone e lei aveva una voce fantastica!!!!!!!!!!

  • Amazing, please may you all check out my first youtube video which is one of Eva Cassidy's covers, thankyou xx

  • <3

  • Who in their right mind can dislike this!? Its beautifull....

  • @SNAZZYsarah03

    Maybe they didn't like the images...no way it was the vocals of Eva.

  • world is full of wonderful people and if you come across who treats you bad......................don't tolerate............just leave

  • Its not the out side that counts its the inside that dose x just rememberer that.

  • ronnesam ping off and leave all us Eva lovers alone !!

  • Roll on the next decade of forgetting.......NOT.!!

    Beauty like this lives forever in the minds and hearts of many.

  • the 66 people who disliked this song have to be colour blind.

  • how beautiful her voice?

  • this song is so beatiful

    btw do u guys no how 2 change username?

  • i didnt think anyone could match the conviction of Cyndi Lauper, but this version is just as stunning

  • This puts autotuned music to shame....♥

  • She is amazing

  • E ela é muito boa sim (gostei)

  • Amazing voice.

    We miss you Eva!!

    Rip.

  • she is absolutely... a MAZING!!! ♥

  • @origqtpie To some maybe.This woman will be forgotten within a decade. Rightly so. Screechy, unmusical and often off key. Try Maria Callas, Isobel Baillie or Eva Turner. I'm blocked by cassidy lovers. Wonder why if the woman is so great

  • @ronneesam decade's over. Eva is still not forgotten.

  • @ronneesam - Are you nuts???

  • @ronneesam I can't help thinking you are confusing Eva Cassidy with Cyndi Lauper. Cyndi is a very fine singer but she has sung some songs intentionally off key and screechy (for effect). I have never heard anything by Eva Cassidy that was screechy, unmusical OR off-key. Or perhaps you are just having fun knowing that others will argue with you.

  • @MsTubbytube No one has yet come up with a valid reason why Cassidy sings the first two notes of 'Somewhere over the rainbow wrongly. They are an octave apart as written. There's a reason for that. It sounds better. Aesthetically it encapsulates soaring over a rainbow as opposed to suggesting being grounded in monotony! If Cassidy failed to grasp that elementary truism, why listen to the rest of her output. Try Wagner's' Ring Cycle'.

  • @ronneesam " No one has yet come up with a valid reason why Cassidy sings the first two notes of 'Somewhere over the rainbow wrongly."

    You don't like Eva Cassidy. We all get it. You've been telling us how much she sucks for months now. Move on for Christ's sake. How 'bout trolling Hendrix's "All Along The Watchtower" video? He did that WAY different than Dylan, and therefore (following your logic) badly.

    Sorry for feeding the troll, people. Can't help it sometimes. :)

  • i luv this song it is so good that it macks me feel like it do not hav to hid me fat

  • Nice song good job

  • It never fails to amaze me how gifted and talented this young woman was. RIP. God loved you more

  • Beautiful! Please everyone watch my cover one of her songs :) thankyou hope you enjoy xx

  • stunning

  • shame there are no videos for eva's videos of herbut im glad we have the voice, i just love listening to eva sad knowing she left so young

  • This is breath-taking. The best copy of this song!!!!! <3 Eva Cassidy

  • I love this so much <3 Eva Cassidy! YOU ARE AMAZING and your music lives on forever <3 xoxo-Eva Amore

  • Eva,

    During this past year, the hardest of my life, I discovered your songs, sung in your soothing, most beautiful voice. I couldn't flee from the pain; so I accepted it for what it was, without pain there could be no love. Your songs&your voice helped me to reach the deepest,darkest places I needed to go&comforted me to remember that beauty&love never die. Please tell my son John that I love him &miss him as do everyone whose lives he touched. Rest in Paradise. I Love You John Mom

  • @JChurchRIP it helped me too , she is an angel =)

  • @JChurchRIP Big love to you and your son from across the globe. Peace xxxx

  • @JChurchRIP i'm sorry for your loss..

  • @JChurchRIP same here man, sorry to hear about your loss. My mum and grandfather died early this year... hurt so much! its nice that eva cassidy can re-unite us all in some ways

  • @JChurchRIP

    That's really beautiful X

  • @JChurchRIP May God grant you peace and comfort in your time of sorrow...you have my heart felt condolances.

  • @JChurchRIP Losing my brother suddenly just 2 years ago compels me to comfort you in this unspeakable, surreal time in your life. Don't torture yourself! Is it something he would have felt good that he did to you? Celebrate the fact he was yours!! You had him, but not as long as you'd like. And for that and your heartbreak, I am truly sorry. You are not alone. God Bless all of us.

  • @JChurchRIP I am so sorry for your loss. I watched as my mother was murdered when I was 8 and my brother died from lung cancer almost 2 yrs ago.  I have found some comfort in songs like this but I have found great comfort in Jesus. My heart reaches out to you and I will pray for you. No parent should lose a child. I have 4 kids of my own and I know how lost I would be. Be Strong.

  • @JChurchRIP You almost made me cry, you know, there are special people and i dont know why they always go to paradise too soon, maybe they go to be happier there and leave this planet when they already have made happy to the ones they knew.

  • @Neisfai Probably the saying is true and whom the gods love, die young. i don't know... 

  • @JChurchRIP God bless you and your son, I choked up reading your paragraph - Brave lady. Rest In Peace John x

  • @JChurchRIP Probably the hardest pain to overcome, a parent to lose their child. So sorry for your loss. Wish you the best x

  • @JChurchRIP I'm in tears. Bless your heart. Your boy hears a beautiful chorus every day in heaven. Eva coming into your life is just a glimpse of what your son is surrounded by.

  • @JChurchRIP I'm in tears. Bless your heart.  Your boy hears a beautiful chorus every day in heaven. Eva coming into your life is just a glimpse of what your son is surrounded by.

  • @JChurchRIP putin c'est de la merde ton com

  • Eva will live on through music. thank you for all the beautiful things you've shown.

  • Eva your life was too short.But it is if you knew when you sang every note,you were leaving your legacy.R.I.P.

  • got goosebumps :)

  • Angels make more music in heaven than on earth....pure voice, heart and soul, there will never be another voice like yours xxx:)

  • naw... instead of being who we want to be, how about we just be who we really are.. our true colors. sounds like a good plan to me.

  • 63 people are deaf

  • great song

  • Great cover! I love her voice, please check out my first youtube video, Thankyou hope you enjoy x

  • Just one world : Great!!!!

  • i think i just cried..

  • even if i'd listen to her voice for a hundred times .. she always gives me creeps ! she's so good ! 

  • who can dislike this??,it begs belief...

  • some singers can make you cry - only the great ones make you sob with joy....

    

  • :') beautiful even one of the strongest people would cry for this song :')

  • 61 justin bieber fans

  • @apartfiguur1 62 bieber fans :|

  • @betajain :D haha

  • @betajain kill ino :/

  • It's such a shame your not with us anymore, Eva, todays so called music artists could learn so much from you, god bless you beautiful XXXXX

  • Eva was a Bodhisattva reminding us all of the true colors of our colorless true nature.

  • @GregoryWonderwheel yup, I always find it hard to memorize the true color of colorless things too, not to mention the scent of odorless ones... but it could be due to all that reefer we burned through whilst attempting to reach a higher level of consciousness (the colorless one). :o

  • Eva Cassidy is unbelievable, please check out my first youtube cover which is one of her songs, hope u enjoy thanks xx

  • this is just beautiful

    i first heard it wen i was 10 n migrated to australia

    now im 17

  • Thats almost 6 years ago!

  • @MinnaTowne04 I lol'd

  • 61 people doesnt have their true colours yet

  • Very nice !!!

  • superbe chanson belle video amitié ************** un bisou

  • i realy love her voice , but the song isnt suitable

  • @BEAUTJE10A ~ Thank you our Sweet Beau..

    I took Robby & Parker to see Eva in a "live" performance in 1994, which was 2 years before she passed away from complications of melonoma cancer...

    She was a beautiful human being besides being an Angel of a Singer...

    She is still even after passing much more appreciated & popular all over the World then she is in her native America..

    Outside of Country Music, America Record Companies can't seem to get away from Rap & Hip Hop.

    Love &Hugs

    Bob&Robby

  • Brillent a fantastic song great singer

    Greetings,Mihaela

  • Very lovely.!!

    Thanks my dear friend Beau for sending.

    Thank you micha09 for posting....Wenhsing

  • Wonderful song.. Thanks. Feri.

  • @TheVentrux  Eva passed away but the best gift she left us was her beautiful voice!

  • what if the world had just two colours....

  • @rikard92  There would probably be some beautiful people out there who'd try to combine them in order to make a broad spectrum!

  • @gooboo1000 the most beautiful response comment I ever got... Thanks!

  • I love how people assume Xfactor or Idol is the only avenue to releasing music...

  • @TheVentrux I think you've mistaken Eva for just another singer. X Factor and American Idol were created to try and find another Eva Cassidy. No luck yet.

  • Some people must be soooo fucked up not to like this . Eva;s amazing no doubt , gonna love her eternally , lol me!

  • Isn't that just the way life goes? The best are never found until they are lost. I can't remember a voice that makes me beg for more, but there just isn't.
