Annie Lennox Bridge Over Troubled Water Live on American Idol Gives Back 2007

[DaviesSpectrum]

[ouch] Annie Lennox you should not drestroy good songs

[sandyzmz]

No one sings this better than the original of Art Garfunkel.

Best cover by Clay Aiken (American Idol)

2nd best cover by Elvis Presley

3rd best cover by Aretha franklin

4th best cover by Roberta flack

I dont like Annie's cover, although I like her own songs.

[CARMSFAV]

@sandyzmz Well, we all have our own opinions.I love Simon and Garfunkel.And really,...nothing compares to the original! BUT......some covers are pretty damn awesome and this is one of those!!!! A very heartfelt and emotional performance by Annie, She is singing deep from her heart here. I can feel the pain she is feeling. What an artist, what a singer..songwriter....composer­...performer....The one and only Annie Lennox!!

[atsukokato]

I love the original by Art Gerfunkel but this is really good indeed!

[Jan9902]

love annie lennox , but also love art garfunkel and paul simon who first did it?

[CARMSFAV]

@Jan9902 This song was written by Paul Simon and first recorded by Simon and Garfunkel.

[Jan9902]

@CARMSFAV sorry of course they did , am ashamed I asked the question

[CARMSFAV]

@Jan9902 No worries=)

[CARMSFAV]

@kylegavit I think so too=)

[TheSilentCobra]

omg, this is terrible. Very few people can cover this song with any success, she is not one of them.

[jimdivax]

@TheSilentCobra Sorry. I love the original version, but this is good too. Again, the more singers DO a song pays tribute to the writer!!!! I'm sure Paul Simon LOVES every version. It assures the song's and his immortality....and helps his bankbook too!

[Baritone45]

I love Annie Lennox. Just listened to her cover of "Whiter Shade of Pale". Splendid. This song, this .. is very disappointing.

[CARMSFAV]

@Baritone45 Not for me. I love this performance, one of my favorites by Lady Lennox.

[ACEOO8]

SOMEONE NEEDS TO SHOT THAT  PIANO PLAYER - THEY COMPLETELY RUINED THIS SONG Ô¿Ô

[CARMSFAV]

@ACEOO8 Your opinion....... In my opinion, one of the most moving and electric performances from Lady Lennox ever!!!

[maria81860]

I love you Annie!! The best simply the best!

[CARMSFAV]

@maria81860 Couldn't agree more!!

[MissER1975]

I love Annie too.

She's the best.

[CARMSFAV]

@MissER1975 Agree with you both!!

[larrybud]

Seriously? She sounds terrible. Not the range she used to have.

[CARMSFAV]

@larrybud I disagree. This is such a deeply emotional song and Annie's soulfully smoky voice is perfect for it.

[tmpalao1]

@MrSimonm1976 True about her high notes, which makes me a little sad. But she is still & always be Queen Of All Things in my musical universe.

[taurbaby]

thats right,they better give her a standing ovation!

[CARMSFAV]

@taurbaby =)

[martind586]

now a days,,singers,,put their little spin on the great song they r singing... rarely do they try to duplicate a song!

[CARMSFAV]

@martind586 True so true!

[CARMSFAV]

@MrSimonm1976 I don't think Annie meant to be as good as Art or Paul, just uniquely Annie=)

[HermTDI]

Annie...forever & a day you musice will carry me...over the bridge ...where I beg to be.

[tokugawaj]

maravlhosa musica e divina cantora

[Robbihogan]

Amazing! My favorite rendition by far!

[godzuki444]

Lady Gaga ..... LEARN !!!!.

[sloo7047]

absolutley beautiful 

[CARMSFAV]

@sloo7047 I agree!

[chemicalmix]

I don't even particularly like this song, but Annie's voice- just like Eva Cassidy's- makes this song amazing. And, like Eva Cassidy, Annie could sit their and moo like a cow for 3 minutes and STILL make it sound beautiful.

[CARMSFAV]

@chemicalmix I bet she could. This is a great song. Paul is a an incredible songwriter and to have someone like Annie singing Bridge Over Troubled Water is a gift within itself♥

[Aerohog1]

@chemicalmix Yes-nice. But not on the level of Eva for this song. Not knocking Annie-but some songs work better for different performers.

[TiffyDoodles1]

@chemicalmix I love the original, but I LOVE her version. <3

[cnotesongs]

THE sexiest most soulful singer I can hink of. Totally underated because so any think only of Eurythmics and overlook her amazing solo stuff.

[CARMSFAV]

@cnotesongs I think Annie is a very sexy soul singer my friend, but far...very far away from underrated or overlooked.

[r4cer261]

Holy fuck,this is epic!!!!She is an absolutly IMMENSE singer

[CARMSFAV]

@r4cer261 She sure is!!!

[Zecalran]

i LOVE IT i LOVE ANNIE lENNOX!

[Zecalran]

i LOVE IT i LOVE aNNIE lENNOX!

[AFRICANBRO]

Anyone knows where i can find Liz Mitchell of BONEY M, she had the best version of this song....EVER

[voiceofreason2008]

@sintillate69 who the fuck do you think you are defiling a singer of stature as annie lennox?

[01Hase]

Annie, ich Liebe Dich, Du bist die grösste Stimme aller Zeiten!!

[lmariablg]

beautiful. so powerful

[mkbr2007]

The Annie I love. I hope shes done with Christmas songs for a bit.

[CARMSFAV]

@mkbr2007 Lol. I think she is. XD

[KabbalahWestCoast]

@mkbr2007 Christmas SOngs are cool too...grow up please and find the LIGHT! Thx! LoveUGodBless, T and J KABBALAH MATTHEWSHEPARD MADONNALICIOUS

[amermulalic]

I LIKE THIS SONG VERY MUCH.

PLEASE CHECK MY VERSION.

THANKS.

[Chris201076]

This and Kelly Clarkson's up to the mountain on idol gives back 2007 were so epic and engineered a tone for the night, now, artists just use idol gives back as a platform to promote their new releases which I think is beyond crass.

[themrduragss]

I didn't feel anything

[2fishfactory]

Emotional,reassuring and strong...

[marcecko07]

the voice is amazing...

[bajachaos]

Phenomenal...Annie you are truly one of the very few talents left for us in this world.  Thank you.

[soundseeker63]

No dislikes for this video. Just how it should be! Annie is one of the most soulful white women ever!

[Kidchair]

@sintillate69 You sir, are an idiot.

[MyOlolololol]

@Kidchair I could have said it no better my self :)

[TheVivifire]

NICE!

[CARMSFAV]

[1510Ronald]

[elaslife]

Stéphane

[CARMSFAV]

@bidibi83 Annie is singing from her heart. A very emotional and passionate performance. Thank you Stéphane, and you are welcome my dear.

[zamusicza]

Simon and who? Love you so much Annie.

[CajunGypsy]

How on God's green and pleasant Earth did I miss hearing this before now?!? One of my all-time fave S&G songs sung by one of my all-time fave pop divas...what's not to love? Annie knocks it out of the hemisphere for a terrific cause.

[pseudonym1964]

OOoooo... what can i say? Just fantastic.

[u2phreak]

one word - goosebumps! this is the best rendition - so passionate!

[margaretkosey1968]

one of the most moving songs ever written sung by a women who moves me. Annie you have one of the best voices . You are a gift to this planet.

[zallennox]

so deeply beautiful. I want to listen to this song from Annie HQ sound....

I've heard this song from Elvis Presley before.

Thanks Carma!

[Vassoelgraen]

Annie is amazing. Her voice is so awesome and soul-penetrating that even when her emotions are "ruining" her voice control it merely demonstrates her power to tug at your heart. When her vibrato slips, you know she's feeling something strongly, which adds a depth and poignancy to commentary that is that song.

[marvjoenav18]

@Vassoelgraen AGREE! she slips and the emotion that takes over makes the song so soulful!!! She has the power to connect to her audience. such incredible talent!

[relativelytwisted]

Annie Rocks!

[itritsch]

I'm so impressed! Never saw this performance. I don't like this song anymore, before Annie is singing it so passionate. Thank you.

Ingrid

[CARMSFAV]

You are welcome, Ingrid. A very passionate performance, I agree.

[oryangold]

thank you so much for sharing this video! I have always wanted to hear Annie perform this song! It was wonderful!

[CARMSFAV]

You are welcome. A memorable performance, that is for sure.
