The greatest Alison Moyet I've ever heard...

[sfdungeon]

fantasica! oh, i already said that? oh.

[rgiuliani2]

A great live version of this song by Melanie is on the Rhino "Best of" Collection. It is also on the Melanie live album "Leftover Wine"... But I really like Rhino's remaster of it.

Some one quite awhile ago had the live version of Melanie singing it when it came out on one of her early albums. When I went back to download it all that came up was that it was that it had been removed at the request of the author. Its a very moving to the point of heart renching but also depressing. Enough so that someone that might be suicidal could put them over the edge. I'm not certian that's why she pulled it but I'm sure she had her reasons. Alison does capture it well.

Missing? Erm Hello!!! This is a thousand times better than the original version - Alisons vocals are second to none, by a clear mile she is probably the greatest female vocalist ever to have come out of the UK.

I am sorry to say. She´s a good singer, but this comes nowhere near Melanie´s original.

[nacapula1]

Beautiful song, good interpretation, but I think what is missing is the desperate passion of young melanie ( 1968)

[millenniumhippie]

Wow wow wow. This is one song that I would have bet money that NO ONE would ever have done a cover of. Truly, truly amazing song...

[SEVFEST]

Nice seeing someone cover the Song Goddess' earlier songs .  Great job Alison

[SuchisLifeIA]

I was rather hoping for a duet, but this is lovely too! She does remind me of Melanie in how she exaggerates what she wants to.

[1306jonny]

Stunning!!

[kangfesher]

This version is really quite lovely.

[silverback23]

Very rare to find someone taking on one of the godlike Melanie's lesser known songs. Not bad at all!

[lilackine]

Reallyt nice to find this, but I was looking for the real thing. Great job though

[Mika151]

This song is one of my favourites by melanie

[MoyetBoy]

Wow wow wow wow wow wow - utterly amazing singer Alison has the most incredibly powerful and mindblowingly beautiful voice I have ever heard. I wish I could sing like that - she is OUTSTANDING

[YazooMusic]

Wonderful video from Alison's concert DVD "One Blue Voice." You can feel how much she loves the song.

[Titan752]

FANTASTIC VERSION of Melanie's early classic!

What an incredible tribute and so beautifully performed! Even had the sustained organ notes at the conclusion... GREAT cover song!

[maryjanemars]

Giving you a great applause to cover the song of Melanie the "Queen of Flower Power"!!!

Great job!

I first heared this song by Melanie when I was 14 years old. Bless Alison Moyet such a windrful rendition as she reallt feels this song. Fantastic rendition of a very hard song to sing.

[colleen619]

this song sends me.....Moyet belts this Melanie creation out and does it justice. Rock on female singers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[backpacker74]

ok, this is one of the rare times i fully accept someone covering a melanie's song!

alison is excellent!

[oliversweeting]

her best ever! simply incredible! best british vocalist ever !!!

[dsundre]

Wow! Wonderfully done. Did justice to Melanie's song.

[SkeeterNYC]

Alf is a great white singer in the tradition of Dusty Springfield. etc. I love Melanie. Thanks for this posting!

[MykelMache]

Alison Moyet rocked this song. Anyone would be proud to have it communicated with her voice!

[puszilak]

remember hearing Moyet do this live a few years back... superb!

[konig82]

Great cover of Melanie! Thanx for posting!

[oliversweeting]

amazing!!!!

[Neamhain63]

A phenomenal track.

[planetrj]

An excellent collaboration and an excellent vocalist round out this near perfect tune.

Love it. :)

[aneedy1]

I listened to this out of resentment and desperation. No one can cover Melanie and there just isn't enough great Melanie performances. While it didn't solve my desperation for a Melanie "fix", it did ease my resentment with a very nice job of covering. Thank you for the post!

[TangSongs]

Great rendition by Alison Moyet of a great song by Melanie.

[adiah]

What a great song and what a great performance and very true to the original.
