  • Love this song and the passion in it. It's also nice to see a female artist that doesn't feel she has to look like a perfect painted doll in videos, letting her hair tangle and make-up run.

  • Emily is an amazingly talented woman. Great vocal performance by her, and Keith Urban's backing vocals bring a great richness to this song. Emily you're extra special. Why this didn't break through as a monster hit bewilders me. Maybe it needed a bigger push by the record co.  Best wishes for you. You're awesome.

  • Awesome!!...I saw you on Body of Proof and now this video!!! You have one of the most AMAZING voices ever...Just got your music in Itunes...We want more Emily!!!.....Do you tour?? Where??

  • Like sakirates, my wife and I saw here on "Body of Proof" and were impressed. We wondered if that was really her voice - figured she was a no name actress. Thanks to IMDB and Youtube, she has a new set of followers.

  • She has one of the best voices in Nashville. How is this video not on CMT, GMA etc.

  • How this song failed to be a top 10 hit or even #1 is beyond me. Its simply awesome. Best song I've heard in a long time.

  • I am blown away by how fine and beautioul a voice you have. We saw you on "Body of Proof" my partner& I wanted to find out who you were when you sang at the end of the show. My detective work led to here. I sent a link to your video to her so she can listen to you in the morning while I am asleep. She will be delighted I am sure to hear you sing again and to know that I found you. You are an amazing singer and you have a new fan in me. I can not wait to hear more of your music. You have talent

  • @sakirates Same here!!!

  • Emily I know you have not been able to break through yet,but keep at it. You are very talented and very beautiful,don't give up.

  • One of the best songs I have heard in a long time

  • i LOVE this song. its so deep and beautiful and heartfelt and her voice.. oh my goodness its just beautiful:)

  • Where has this woman been all my life!

    Great to find such a great gem

  • Emily, thank you for visiting us in Kuwait. It showed a lot of committment for you to come out here and brighten the day for so many Soldiers and civilians.

  • Emily my mom said she's related to you! Her maiden name is Kristin Hulin. do you recognize it at all?

  • perfect harmony makes my heart tingle. not too much not too little.....Keiths high tenor fits this so well. Nice job Emily.

  • beautiful song Emily West

  • her and keith sound amazing 2gether

  • JUST BLOWS ME AWAY EVERY TIME!!!!!!!!!

  • How in the heck is Emily not a household name? It doesn't make sense to me... Someone must not be doing their job.

  • Great song... but so few views :( !

  • @BlueD3y as long as you like it the views don't matter :)

  • Too bad she dont like her own kind,,very pretty girl!

  • ¡Te amo mi amor te amo!!!!! Nela te amo con toda mi alma te amo sos mi vida por siempre. ¡Te amo!!

  • Keith Urban's background vocals mix really well with her voice. I saw her live about 2 years ago at this small writers festival in downtown Nashville. It's cool seeing her in a music video now. Kudos.

  • I think everybody needs 2 lay off emily!!! shes beautiful & has a effin amazing voice!!!! this song makes me think of many relationships in my family but mostly mine & my dads...i cant wait 2 c how far emily goes!! i really hope she makes it really big in the country world!!!!

  • I think she looks like an unattractive Faith Hill and she totally ripped the look of the video "Cry" by Faith Hill in some scenes. Kinda creepy actually.

  • looks like faith hill, sounds like trisha yearwood. great song! love keith urban singing in the background!

  • This is a great vocal performance, by an extremely talented artist.The arrangment, just like Emily, is stunningly beautiful. It also doesn't hurt to have some amazing harmony vocals by Mr. Keith Urban. Awesome song, and awesome video.

  • I love to just sing this songgggg!!!!!!!! She looks like Faith Hill ALOT.

  • nice song

  • looks like Faith Hill

  • she is so much prettier in person, like tayswifts sister

  • awesome song

  • I can so relate to this song.

  • The last words of this song are so heartbreaking, "Don't wanna be that blue sky..."

  • I just love this song! From beginning to end, I am captivated!

  • I think she looks like a blonde Liv Tyler. Probably because of the lips. It's a beautiful, haunting melody and a song that touches the heart...

  • wooo keith urban!! <33

  • I accidentally heard this song and i got hooked... amazing! i agree... she looks like faith hill... :)

  • she looks amazingly like Faith Hill

  • I love this song! The lyrics are great! Another great country song!

  • I am usually into all that rap stuff, but now that shit sounds terrible to me! I switched from rap to country and rock! I love Emily West!

  • Comment removed

  • Its sad how people have to say unkind words to what others feel. I was led to believe so many things - until I found he wasn't near what I thought he was,,This song is very fitting and powerful...

  • Beautiful song

  • What does gay have to do with this song? just curious.. I mean... I'm straight... and Christian. I just don't understand the bleed over on the video post.

  • If she took the twang out, this would sell on in pop just as easy. I'm not a country fan, but this is a beautiful song.

  • I love Emily West. She is soo adorable and her song is soo beautiful. I think she is the next big thing in country music. Emily, all the best to u and hope to meet you someday. Alles Gute!

  • reminds me of faith hill. love this song. saw it on gac last nite

  • this is such a pretty song. Her and Keith's voice go sooooo well together. This is an amazing song!!!=)

  • I really like this

  • suchba pretty song....

  • good one

  • powerfull!!

  • amazing voice

  • wow...her voice is so beautiful.  i watched this video on GAC and immediately game on youtube to favorite her!

  • thank you, emily... thank you..

  • I just had my beautiful daughter Hayden on mothers day. The father has seen her less than 30 minutes of her life. He has decided to leave us both. Just yesterday he begged to be back in our lives.. and I heard this song and got the strength to say no, you cant just leave and come back whenever you want. I can raise my daughter on my own. I love you Hayden, I wont let some ignorant man ruin your life. I wont let him hurt you.

  • I love this video it speaks to my heart and soul. I played this for my ex Tony cause it so says just how I truly feel thank you Emily for this song...:(

  • I LOVE this song!!!

  • What a beautiful song, these two sound great together!! Keith Urban should have appeared in the music video.

  • Great Song! and video...."Wow!" nice work!

  • she's stunning...wow

  • Very beutiful song. Im from Europe and just love country ballads, Somthing about them , they make you sad and cry but att the same time they make u feel alive and fill you up with hope.

    Go Emily!!

  • Actually I think this one, temporary home, and the house that built me were the ones released that were reeeaallly good; I can't just pick one.

  • Wow, great vocals! and..... Faith Hill looks w/ boobs! WOOT! WOOT!

    Lots of cleavage shots may boost sales? Who woulda thunk? LMAO

  • @TheAnthonyLayton Sorry But Miranda Lambert's The House That Built Me is the BEST song of 2010 so far!!!!!!!!

  • @shelleej3 Alrighty then, Kanye! :P (Not that I'm disagreeing, or trying to be pugnacious...the way you worded your comment just reminded me of the "Beyonce had one of the best videos of all time! ALL TIME!!!" incident. LOL)

  • i love this video.

  • As a guy watching this video, she sang it so powerfully that I felt for a minute I had done the wrong doing described in the song, and yet I am single. I felt like an asshole for a second, and would hate to really be on the other end of those lyrics. Great stuff, ( Faith Hill-- your time is up, all you can do now is watch this young lady go straight to the top :)

  • i love love this song, goose bumps everytime i listen to it.

  • beautiful girl and voice!

  • 14 years married. gotta go. hardest thing ive ever done. this song makes me sad, gives me chills, validates what i already know. great job. thank you for posting.

  • Beautiful song and voice.

  • this is beautiful! It really makesme cry

  • @Victorkrummy MY AUNT SAYS WHEN SHE LISTENS TO THIS SONG SHE THINKS OF ME IT REALLY MAKES ME CRY !!!!

  • Makes me cry every time, Emily. BRAVO!!

  • Lyrically Brilliant and well sung.

  • oh my god she gave me the chills on the apprentice! hervoice oh my god

    so beautiful

  • she was amazin on celebrity apprentice!

  • Beautiful voice. WHAT A VOICE! I watched her on Celebrity apprentice a couple of weeks ago. I think I remember her saying she wrote this song for her father. So sad

  • The end looks like it could be from a horror film. Still one of my favorite songs tho.

  • She's so pretty...she reminds me of faith hill:) Love this song!!!

  • Kinda makes me think of that faith hill video for Cry

  • Such an amazing song and video! I first discovered Emily West a couple of years ago when she put out a video for her song "Rocks In Your Shoes". At that time, she didn't blow up like I thought she would. I'm so glad she's taking off now with this one! And, as a lifelong country music fan, I just have to say that it's so awesome to see so many people here who say they're not fans of country music, but still love her voice so much! It just goes to show that true talent can't be boxed in!!!

  • @k4zn4v3 Well, I know that part of the money is going to build a shelter for gay/lesbian/transgender/bisexu­al teens who have been kicked out of their homes because of their sexual orientation. It will give these teens a place to stay, when otherwise they would be homeless. You may not agree with their sexual orientation, but SURELY you can't tell me you think it's wrong for a charity to provide these kids with a roof over their head and a hot meal!

  • Beautifully sad song that moves you to tears. GREAT voice Ms. West...watch out CMT here come a new talent that will blow those others out of the water by far!!!

  • She actually looks so much better with the wet hair at the end. She needs to lose the big hair. It doesn't match her voice.

  • I saw her on The Apprentice at 1AM this morning have being playing this song on repeat since then. Beautiful. I wish nothing but good things for Emily.

  • i love this song ahhhhhhhhh

  • my fav part is 2:22 till like the end..its so dramatic and like totally awesome!!!!!!

  • Can you say new Superstar, Move over Miss Underwood, she reminds of Faith Hill. What elevates her is her talent for writing, pretty blonds that can sing are a dime a dozen, Carrie and Taylor better get ready to eat her dust.

  • This girl can sing and write!!

  • I am a little confused about the spelling of her name on celebrity apprentice they spelled her name emilee but on here it's emily

  • its so sad how country music can touch everyone,yet be so polarising.

  • This girl is awesome! She could be a huge star!! This song is so beautiful

  • well this stinks,i have to wait a month to buy this on i tunes because part of the money go's to gays and lesbians. i hope trump fires cyndi soon.

  • @thrashman1973 pig!!

  • @mciccone80 easy, be tolerant.......

  • @thrashman1973 of bigots who are intolorant?  Ironic

  • @thrashman1973 ikr??!!! i was so mad!!! like wat kind of charity is that!!??

  • @pinkgrl234 A charity to help people in need. Just be glad it's not loading Cyndi's pockets.

  • @thrashman1973 Hey, don't diss any sort of charity. Everyone needs help. Just be happy someone is getting the money that needs help.

  • @animallover163555 im sure the gays and lesbians she is supporting are nice people but lets help hungry children or the homeless. that life style isn't natural. if you dont agree with my view just be tolerant, thats what her charity is all about , right?

  • @thrashman1973 that life style isn't natural... what a dick...

  • @wannypom - thats not very tolerant........

  • @thrashman1973 Well... if she's helping kids kicked out onto the street, then technically she is helping the hungry and homeless, right? They just happen to be of different sexual oirentation.

  • @ViolettMichelle904 - so now shes helping hungry and homeless gay kids, thats a strech.

  • @thrashman1973 Those charities were already taken by other contestants. She wanted to help a struggling cause. As for that last remark: it is as natural as a flower. Deal with it.

  • @animallover163555 - oh, ok now flowers are gay? you are fine example of the decline of western society.

  • @thrashman1973 I'm Southeastern smartass. And no, I didn't call flowers gay. I called them natural.

  • @animallover163555 say what you want but that life style isn't natural, its not about being nice its about whats right and having their lifestyle pushed down our throats. i tired of people like you pretending to be on the high road and trying to make normal people, and yes i said " NORMAL" people out to be bad people. two dude's dont fit right, dont hate me its nature. if your father would have been gay would their have been a you? no be thankful for normal men and women.

  • @thrashman1973 Are you honestly saying that?! They cannot help who the like! I will laugh when one day you wake up and roll over, finding yourself next a another man.

  • @thrashman1973 you are an idiot! Do you really think that gay people choose to be gay? They are born that way. It is 100% biological. Oh yeah, gay people choose to be discriminated against every day by millions of people who don't understand their lifestyle. What is "natural" to you may not be natural to somebody else. Why don't you try being tolerant and not judging. Because the Bible sure doesn't say you should judge other people, smart one.

  • Saw Emily on Celebrity Apprentice. She is a brilliant artist!

  • Comment removed

  • I applaud Emily for donating her proceeds. I purchased it. Equality is something for everyone, yes even for you who do not agree. I hope one day YOUR equality is not taken away, and you must rely on the help of others... but if it is, I will be there fighting for you! Kudos to Emily and Cyndi Lauper!!!

  • i first found out about her on apprentice, Great voice! this is now one of my favorite songs! :)

  • I was surprised to hear she'd associate herself with something like true colors knowing what her fans are like

  • @mettabee Could you please explain what you mean by that? What exactly are her fans "like" (in your opinion), and why should it keep her from donating money to charity???

  • emily! your the best! i LOVE to sing, too, and you rock! congrats of the apprentice! i dont really know what to say that someone hasn't said before me, but anyway, if it makes a difference, your the only country artist i like... thanks for being awesome!!! :D

  • Great song Emily! You are living my dream....to sing a beautiful country song with Keith Urban! WOW! Tell him I said hello! :)

  • Comment removed

  • amazing!

  • Emily has so much talent - Love the song so much. The video is not what I would have done .

  • Godspeed EM...! ...keep writing & belting them out Emily...you heart shines through!

    can't wait to see ya in a live performance...

  • She has a beautiful voice, but whoever produced this added too much of Keith Urban's backing vocals that negatively eclipsed her voice. Is there a version where it's just her singing?

  • Honestly your sooo ignorant you don't even realize that the charity is there to bring awareness to selfish pieces of shit like yourself who are keeping this negative cycle going! It's 2010 and in case you didnt get the memo ... it's not cool to discriminate against people who are born differently than you! Thanks for giving our generation a bad name asshole ;)

  • Love this song, This song should be called "Karma" cause they always come back around........peace out.

  • I cant wait to buy this! I have to wait a month because i dont support the Charity all the proceeds are going to...but I LOVE THIS SONG! And your SO SO beautiful!!

  • @MrsKatieJonas15 It's really sad that you feel sooo strongly against gays that even though you like this artist your going to wait till the proceeds do nothing good for this world to buy it! It's people like you who make this world a hard place to live in! Don't worry though, karmas a bitch!

    Keep on fighting the good fight sister =)

  • @zoa3478 Hey, its my opinion on this. I dont support the Charity, so what? Its my choice not to buy the song untill the proceeds go TO Emily or whereever it goes to. But thanks for telling me im a problem in the world for not donating a DOLLAR to the charity. There are worse people than me.

  • @MrsKatieJonas15 @k4zn4v3 It's evident you have enough sense to use the Internet, so if you need further information about something, look it up! While it's a sad indictment of your character to read your comments and how misinformed you are about True Colors, I highly doubt your choice to not buy the song on iTunes it's going to have much impact on the proceeds and donation to True Colors Charity.

  • @LacrosseJock1 I know its just a dollar and there might be more to True Colors but its my opinion and my money I'm spending. And Im not going to look into the charity cause its not that big of a deal.

  • When I say she gives me chills, I mean It!!!! I saw her for the first time on celeberity Apprentice, Oh my God, Incredible talent. I knew she would win with Cyndi Lauper as project manager. PEACE!!!

  • if you would like the guitar chords for this song, go to google and search Blue Sky Emily West Guitar Chords and use the Ultimate Guitar website. I figured them out a couple weeks ago and finally posted them.

  • Emily West is an amazing singer. I didn't know that she had even more songs out there besides this one yet til I saw the CA show. I am soo glad I watched that episode for I might not have found this one. She will def be someone I listen to from now on. Keep up the good work girl!!

  • BEAUTIFUL!... When a talent is this pure, this strong, and this beautiful it brings down the borders of genre! I love your heart Emily West. Though I don't know you it shines through your personality and talent!

  • After seeing her on celebrity apprentice, I too had to look her up on youtube!! She made me tear up when I watched her on the show and was so amazed at the power and beauty in her voice! I'm not even a country fan, but I love her! She seems like a great woman

  • this is such a powerful song! brings me to tears, she is truly blessed with raw, beautiful talent!

  • Loved you on Celebrity apprentice, I think your voice is amazing and you have seem to have great personality. But, why do you not go by your real name Emily Nemmers and you go by Emily West? Is it for publicity reasons, I think if your publicist told you it would sound better then don't listen to them, use your real name don't let them change you or your name. Your a star either way, changing your name doesn't make a difference your voice and talent does.

  • I like how she kept Cindys idea for her! She looks great and sounds Amazing!

  • amazing!

  • This is a beautiful song and beautifully sung. Saw her on Celebrity Apprentice, absolutely amazing! I can't wait for her album.

  • OMG i seen her on Celebrity Apprentice..she did a aweeeeeessoommme job perfoming this song live..i think it even sound better live..she has a really good voice

  • i couldn't believe she was singing live on celebrity apprentice! incredible voice

  • Saw this on Celebrity Apprentice! She is beaultifula dn has a beautiful voice! I love her i am soo glad i got a chance to watch it and hear this beautiful song!

  • Awesome, that's all you can say. Cindy did her job well...........she made her a star!

  • Seems like she is trying to be too much like Faith Hill-much like Faith's video for Cry. BUT, she does have a great voice and it is a good song.

  • @cfph66 I see where you're coming from, but I'm pretty sure the resemblence between her rain scenes in this video and Faith's rain scenes in "Cry" are completely coincidental. Check out Emily West's video for "Rocks In Your Shoes" and you'll see that her style is actually quite different from Faith's.

  • @bamababy4913 Totally agree. Many people use "rain" in their videos these days for effects but watching this and "Rocks" are SO different which shows her diversity in songs and singing ability!

  • She seems like a sweet, down-to-earth, humble girl. Hope she has Carrie and Taylor-like success.

  • Like many others here, i saw her performance at celebrity apprentice, and her powerful, beautiful voice just made a big impression on me. It's a beautiful song, and knowing what made her write it, just makes it all the more special.

    I think her future in the music business is all blue skies from here :)

  • I think everyone can relate to this at some point in their lives. Emily, you have an amazing voice that seems to give everyone shivers (including me). I wish you so much luck and success in your future career. Keep Singing!!

  • On C Apprentice, Emily explained that this song was written as a healing song over her parents death. - Emily, I feel sorry for your loss!
