Carly Smithson Total eclipse of the heart Studio Version

[JazmynRoseMonkeyToes]

This is a song that came from heaven... Now everybody can sing it :-)

[bookworm260194]

She was amazing.

[queennyasha1]

Beautiful version of this song.

[justrhyno]

COMPLETELY thrown under the bus by American Idol. Most underrated American Idol contestant ever, hands down.

[jbowling74]

She is great. I am so glad she went to heavy metal. It is where she belongs. May never get the recognition due to its lack of mass appeal, but perfect for her nonetheless. Congrats girl, you made it!

[mypuppy11dog]

Well I think its a great song no matter who sings it. Loved seeing Simon,Paula and Randy.

[metalgrl11]

this s good



[azc1983]

hasta ahora la mejor interpretación.

[lisaarbeka]

Gefällt mir sehr sehr gut.

[iamgillian24]

very nice vocals. i think she should've gone farther down the competition

[NintendoMultiMaster]

greg from diary of a wimpy kid is still better.

For me.

[MjrTom2009]

Mmm .. she has almost NO talent at all. You guys realize this, right? Or are you too busy doping your brains with pot, meth, alcohol, etc.?

[angelismx]

@MjrTom2009 lol chill.

[bradleycuddles]

goosebumps... better then the original.

[iwayovelayouyay123]

I think its better than the original :) Shes a beautiful woman with a strong, and amazing voice!

[GoodGirlGoneBadAlexa]

it`s completly amazingggggg!!!!!! gosh...does anyone know where i can download this from???

[QuackHoarSkates]

I watched a video of Carly performing this on the show and was shocked at the judges' dislike of her rendition. Carly did wonders with this song and definitely prefer this to Bonnie Tyler's.

[bluewhale18]

carly had the best studio recordings ever on Idol

[MrNAZEREY]

wow

[freakfreak72]

gives me chills...wow

[xitsCASS]

This is gorgeous, too. :)) I love this.

[MiKebEnJiSlOvE1230]

besides Niki Evans and BonnieTyler

i love this one the most

[cbotten106]

Carly's amazing. This studio version is so much better than what she did on the live show though. It literally gives me chills.

[archieholic]

that was BY FAR the best season! everyone was so good!!! 

[xfragglexrockx]

@archieholic i agree 100%! that season had such amazing talent on it. i absolutely hated that carly got eliminated, she should've at least made it to the finals. but, again, i agree with you....i believe this season was the best out of all of the seasons. now the show sucks haha

[japeeisalwaysthebest]

for me, this is better than the original

[nahnuhhuh]

i have to listen to different version of this song as homework for my singing lessons...this is by far the very best I've found.

[kbestul]

WOW...I forgot about Carly...she has a beautiful voice!! thanks for another great one Bianca!! :)

[yardsman]

This is the only cover I´ve ever heard that does Bonnie Tylers original justice. Great and strong voice!

[BrickByBoringBrick7]

this song was stuck in my head the other day except it was the chick from seaon 4 (forget her name... jessica something i think). but this version is so much better! its exactly wat i was wishing that other girls version was!

[tgrigsby7]

Dang... She certainly has the pipes for this song. She nailed it.

[emilia223]

shes soo amazing love her voice soo much

[bonniebaby78]

My friend i meant KELLY OSBOURNE of course u re bad:(

[bonniebaby78]

Wow...she s so talented with an amazing voice n i love her voice for this song better than kelly s. But i love Bonnie s version. GREAT JOB!!!

[ChristopherYOLO]

@bonniebaby78 kelly clarkson did a cover?

[ChristopherYOLO]

@bonniebaby78 oh kelly osbourne...my bad

[Leryshka]

woow! :)

[chord972]

At 2:45 the video should have synched music and presentation exactly.

Brought tears.

[wesper0018]

Nothing beats the original, but Carly Smithson did an incredible job with this song. I really love her rendition of the song.

[lookluk]

just like bonnie!!!

[jaycewheeled]

I'm listening to various interpretations of this song. This is the best I've listened to till now.

Perfect, five stars, no need for more words.

[BabsBunnii14]

I was just thinking the same thing!

[cbotten106]

Carly's voice is fantastic.

[nilmeemo]

Anyone know when the fallen premier today?

[Pupuki182]

Well she is on the band The Fallen with members from evanescence.

[aquaria5]

YAY!

[darkridor74]

Finally someone who can actually sing this song! This young lady is simply awesome. How in this world she hasn't hit it big time already is just devastating. With all the fake singers we have in this world she should not have any problems making a hit album. This world has totally gone insane.

[underwear90s]

if you could 1/12 as good as her,

you would be HUGE in the music buissiness

[thereshegoes03]

I haven't watched that show since she was eliminated. It's fake crap. At least she had some actual personality.

[aurush4]

i agree carly shouldnt hav left. but, onestly, if it was fake, why would they let people like chris daughtry leave??? thats not what people what to see. it makes them stop watcing it. so dont say its for excitement, because that would just be stupid. why would they make good people go early for excitement?

[12345carlyfan]

Carly's studio version of this song is better than the original-love it!!!

[KeeHartProductions]

I agree that it's amazing.. But not Better than the original lol.

[UchihaCIan95]

She is so pretty..

And i like her voice....

[xXmagykalxX]

i was in back to the 80s, which this song is in, and the people who sang it in our version did it really well, and after the last show, thats what i missed the most about it, so i was looking for a version as good as theirs, and this is it. :)

[swimmer1023]

omg this is amazing.

she should have gone sooo much farther!

[xhelloxbeautifulx3]

heyyy kenzie

[cbotten106]

Fantastic!

[kevbarone]

Carly will prove to be the most successful Idol ever...watch...

[liuruihan619]

she's very amazing i love her! she can sing very difficult songs. i love her versions

[liuruihan619]

coz the winner of american idol is base on votes if do dont have charisma on people eventhough your have a good voice its nothing

[bestoffrank]

I think she was doomed from the start. The producers did not want her to win for some reason and it was obvious. What a pity.

[AllieBarber]

She is amazing

[JesseMccartneygirl08]

her version is better then the original she should have went farther then she did

[12345carlyfan]

I can't figure that one out either. Carly's version is better than the original and I have loved this song since the 80's. She rocks!!!

[EricLeeLeBeau]

this is so her

[NeceyV]

faster than the original. But i love it.

I love Carly Smithson.. :)

[yanmusicaracaju]

amazing....

[allysadereal]

carly's version is so amazing, it makes me want to cry :p

[cbotten106]

Carly's voice really brings this old song alive...WOW!

[middlemanforever]

She truly is talented. I love her voice for this song better than Bonnie's. It is sad that she hasn't been able to match up a song with her image and get it out in the open.

[kidlat987]

her image really doesn't match up with the song she sings but she is really good singer

[DarkLove95]

This song rocked and I thought Carly sung it amazingly. I was upset she left so early...

[ariluc]

De fato, ela é muito gostosa!!

[RockRoyalty81]

I normally HATE this song by the original person...but I LOVE Carly's version!

[laurjohns]

I love Carly. This song is totally amazing with her <3

[craazyonuu]

Amazing, sheer genious.

LOVE IT!

[12345carlyfan]

Amazing!!! Carly sounds better on this song than the original version. Her voice is absolutely incredible and she really shows it here. She is going to be a huge star once her new album comes out.

[cartmanboy]

She has the best recording voice out of all the contestants of this season! She should have won! Carly was robbed!!!

[eileenregina]

AGREED i think she was right when she said chicks dont have much of a chance on idol anymore, its more a popularity contest that a singing contest

[kidlat987]

she lost cuz of votes even david archuleta you can see simon whant's archuleta to win but votes counted

[celindion1994]

i LOVE her

im from sweden

[eileenregina]

Carly would be touched if she knew how many nice comments she was getting on hewr vids here.

I love her so much

[caker1boy]

Best. Version. Ever.

[curlingiron7658]

I love the song and video!!!

[foufenfoly]

wow

[cbotten106]

Carly is so amazing in the studio, her voice is fantastic. The back and forth with her own backing track makes this on special.

[hottieehra13]

oh my....she sung it well....great!!! great!!!

[NeceyV]

yeah not a lot can sing this song, but she obviously can! lovee it

[missbubbles000]

i love the way she sings this song. i even have it in my ipod...lol

[RyanShecklergrl08]

i think carly was so amazing she should have been like top 3

[eileenregina]

She wishes she had gonne further but also thinks its fair as all the idols had amazing voices in her opinion and she is great ful for her time there

[doubletrouble2t]

she amaxing i cant waite to go to the concert!

[chumchum222]

sheesh she's so amazing. i cant believe i missed her when i had the chance to say hi to her. AHH. She was awesome though! i think she should've lasted way longer, and brooke couldve left..

[BlingyDamon3]

i kinda wished she had happened in a different year almost because the producers decided to make the whole show about david archuleta and not really focus on anyone else. if she had gotten fair treatment maybe more people would get their heads out of their butt and vote for her. i hope she outsells any idol ever, winner or not, cuz she is the best ever.

[irishsweethearttx]

She is gorgeous. She's the unique kind of beauty. Kristy and Brooke are the, "always see" beauty. Carly and Syesha are the, "never see more then twice in a life time" kind of beautiful. I'm a girl yes, but she is absolutely gorgeous! She's definitly not ugly, and definitly not hideous. As far as talent goes, she's also beautiful :) Most talented girl this season. SHOULD HAVE WON!:-)

[AmericanIdolVideos95]

absolutely fantastic!

[shaka055]

she sounds soooooo good here!!! carlys amazing!

[PunkPinklll]

she kinda look like amylee

[xXAdreasaulaloverXx]

oh yea thats really true lol that solves the mystery of why Carly smithson has an amazing voice :)

[marlymusik95]

i agree!

[ShimmKid]

I thought that as soon as i saw her and she sounds similat to her at times

[TheGreatDuke]

I didn't think this was a great choice for the show (hard to deliver this kind of song in 90 seconds), but the first 30 seconds of this version actually moved me to tears for some reason. Very authentic. Loses it to a degree after about 2:30, but that's just my opinion.

[cbotten106]

Sometimes she looks gorgeous. Carly has an interesting face and a great voice.

[alliversh]

Ok Ok she`s no gorgeous, but she`s not ugly, come on a little respect mizz

[emdog94]

bonnie tyler sound bads scratchy voice carly made it better

[barron]

david cook is great...david archuleta should be on carly's place...right?and M. john should be on syesha mercado's place...am i right?

[SomebodySasski]

i think castro should'a been out instead'a carly...but besides that ya...

[emdog94]

carly shud have won with michael johns in 2nd place

[cbotten106]

I love Carly's voice on this song, she really captures the emotion beautifully.

[emdog94]

she brought the house down so much better than the original carly should have won hands down

[davidarchiebabe33xo]

the ral top three should have been carly, david archuleta, and MJ. nothing against cook, but i'm just not TOTALLY in love with him.

[BlingyDamon3]

then your TOTALLY in love with the wrong david, cuz it should be carly, cook, and MJ, with carly taking it.

[bubucitosolo]

amazing carlyyyyperu

[taifink]

I think David Archuleta should have won,and without a DOUBT carly should have come in second.She has amazing vocals, and shes beautiful.

[mizzkitty20]

taifink...do you need glasses, or are you looking at the same person the rest of us are looking at??

[taifink]

No you idiot, shes gorgeous.

[ninjapicklex3]

this is amazing!

[valery6194]

her, david archuleta, and michael should've been top 3. then i wouldn't of cared who one. carly is amazing!!!!!

[PinkLemonade8526]

I wanted the top three to be Michael Johns,David Cook, and Carly. I think that's how it should have been.

[rickybobby189]

I couldn't agree more

[LynziiLu]

ok: shes is BEAUTIFUL inside and out shes a wonderful person, she is CRAZY talented with her voice, great range, control, emotion you name it. and she WAY deserved to get second place!! (behind david cook of course!)

[emdog94]

go carly u rule

[cbotten106]

This is a fantastic take of this song. Carly has such a great voice...it is like she is working with a better set of tools than most singers.

[meshuganech]

i love how you guys are saying teenage girls only vote for hot/cute boys, when in the past idol seaons, a girl one, or a bad looking guy. so please.

but i agree, she should have gotten farther then jason and brooke for sure, but i think she was just as good as the davids.

[carlos312]

this is simply fantastic!!!

[6290abc]

why didn't she win??

[ABoismier]

Cause the winner of American Idol is controlled by all the teenage girls who vote for the boys that they think are cute or hot. It's not even a talent competition anymore. Carly should've won by a mile.

[Countrymusiccrazy]

i think she should of had a better chance, same with kristy.

[HannahLovesToSing]

why kristy?

[Countrymusiccrazy]

kristy improved every week and she deserved to go farther than jason and brooke.

[FauziRassull]

yeah teenagegirls only votes for hot/cute guys. wtf.

it's more to a popularity contest insearch for hot/cute boys rather than a singing competition.

[undermyskin13]

Woah. I'm a teenage girl and I didn't vote for cook because he was hot or cute. I like the whole "rocker dude" thing and I loved his voice. I didn't like Archuleta AT ALL. I think Carly shoul've come in second.

[undermyskin13]

Woah. I'm a teenage girl and I didn't vote for cook because he was hot or cute. I like the whole "rocker dude" thing and I loved his voice. I didn't like Archuleta AT ALL. I think Carly shoul've come in second.

[cbotten106]

I think Carly was a whole lot of people's "second favorite", because I read that a lot.

I never really bought Cook as a "rocker dude" and what I hear in his voice is more ballad singer or musical-theater-major-type vocals. To my ear, he has almost no growl or grit in his voice. I thought Cook played what I call the "Idol game" quite well, he recalls Taylor Hicks in that respect: Inferior vocalist wins popularity contest.

Cook was better early on he seemed to fade after the hospitalization.

[valery6194]

amen!!

[eb12m]

So much better than the live performnace. Yeah, the band kind of mucked it up, they seemed under-rehearsed and out of balance. She has the song in her, but the Idol performance ruined for a lot I bet.

[cbotten106]

FireOnIce916450, just do a YouTube search for: "Bonnie Tyler Eclipse" and listen for yourself. Carly definitely made it her own. Carly could cover a whole lot of songs and do them better than the original artists, her voice is awesome. I think her goal post-Idol is to make some original music.

[o0clara0o]

i think she even did a better job than the original...just my opinion tho

[FireOnIce916450]

never saw the original. is it good?

[cbotten106]

This Smithson woman is the one I want to hear more of, ten measly performances just whet my appetite, because vocals like this on reality television are not something I've ever heard before. Pro quality range, power and control with "the gift" of great tone. I WANT MORE!

[FireOnIce916450]

we all do!!! she rox!!!

[hottyMcl]

quality-how good is this awesome Carly

[0girlwiththecamera0]

they should've had her do the full version

[FireOnIce916450]

i like this of her best. Mainly cuz the back ground music is good. i think the american idol band makes ppl sound werse the they are.

i was sooo mad when she got voted out. that was sooo unfair!!!! I LOVE YOU CARLY!!!!! u rock hard!!!

[JanusRocks]

sigh...yea so insane! but dun worry, look at Chris Daughtry last season, now his band is so sucessful^^ I hope Carly will get her sucess soon^^

[FireOnIce916450]

so do i!

[lovemylife221]

absolutley insane. amazing singer i love you carly

[Wobbuwall]

love this!!!

[leeyah87]

Thank you so much for posting this!

[JasonCastroFan797]

she's great and your just jelous!

[cbotten106]

Carly is so freaking awesome. Nobody on this show sings like this! Her voice has so many nuances to it.

[JasonCastroFan797]

this is probably my fav idol performance this season!

[JasonCastroFan797]

burn in hell!

[djork05]

I only ever watched her without you' performance and I hated it....but that was so freakin awesome. I really want to search out more of her videos now.

[lilypotter66]

BOO Jason!

YAY Carly!

Jason should have been out, not Carly. Jason can't even sing and he's only in because he's cute. Carly has an amazing voice and is only out because America doesn't like people with tattoos on their arm.

BOO Jason!!!

YAY Carly!!!

[JasonCastroFan797]

fuck you, i love carly and jason

[JasonCastroFan797]

how is this a bad comment? Carly and Jason are awesome!

[JasonCastroxEdwardC]

omg. i love you. exactly me. but jason more.

[atav]

you are soo right!!!!!

[cbotten106]

I just keep coming back to hear this, her voice is fantastic.

[lilypotter66]

I think either the judges should pick the bottom two and hen American should vote, or America votes and the judges pick from the bottom two.

Carly shouldn't have gone. It should have been Jason.

I miss her and Brooke... :'(

[PinkFrostyDonut]

This is like HEAVEN. I am sorry but Carly's voice is that of a professional singer. This singer is NO amateur singer like the other idol contestants. She should have been in the TOP 3. It's like WOW!

[cbotten106]

How do you critique perfection? Carly is the shizzle!

[ABoismier]

Could we please all keep in mind that this video is of CARLY SMITHSON singing and that it's her we should be critiquing? That'd be fantastic.

On a separate note, I think this is the best I've ever heard this song sung.

[JasonCastroFan797]

quit fucking critizising something you couldn't do any better!

[itsalyyay]

My favorites right now... are

David C

David A

Syesha

Brooke

Jason

[cbotten106]

Jason is a joke that the producers are playing on America. Like I tell all of the Jason fans spamming Carly's videos here: You Buy Jason's CD and I'll Buy Carly's CD and we both will be happy. Simon had it right about five weeks ago, Jason is like some dude playing a guitar at a bus station waiting for somebody to take pity and liberate a quarter from their pocket.

[HannahMontanaRox96]

i think the judges should pick the bottom 2 and america should vote for who would go home cause then people who dont deserve to go home wont go home like carly

[matters9319]

i never thought of that...it would be awesom if the judges picked the worst few that u could vote for. Carly Smithson wuld have a free-ride to the finals, and david a. would've been gone long ago.

[athletcsportygrl95]

aww man...

carly was my favorite!!

stupid dreadlock jason shouldve gone home...along time ago...

[iluvzacefron311]

are u tone deaf?

[bakersmurf]

I agree. Jason is a pleasure to listen to. Listen to the studio versions of his songs. They are beautiful, especially "Memory"

[caisson333]

Dude I'm a total davids fan for both of them but WTF Carly was so freakin awesome and those bitches let that freaking hippie and blonde stay and kicked off one of the best people. Personally I think syesha has the best female voice and david archuleta best male voice but i like cook's more. God, i hate america... Faves 1.David Archuleta 2.Syesha 3.David Cook 4.Carly 5.Danny Noriega 6.Micheal 7.Ramiele 8.Kristy 9.Chickezie 10.Brooke hate jason i tried to be a fan but he sux

[h2opolo777]

haha, daniel noriega was terrible.

LIKE TERRIBLE.

and jason is way better than chicezie, remiele, kristy, brooke and syesha

[caisson333]

danny's voice is amazing...

jason sounds like a hippie and sounded terrible on tuesday

I liked chickezie's voice but... his song choice kinda sucked

and syesha is amazing her voice is flawless and she has flexibility... jason sounds like a smoker when he sings and never seems to hit the right notes... he's flat half the time

[RockstarQueen08]

i agree with everything except ramiele --id have alaina

[iluvzacefron311]

dude, i totaly, agree. davids my favorite, but i'm glad she left. she was getting kinda sucky. and her voice just doesn't fit some of the artists the producers pick.
