This is really really bad. I mean really really really bad. Just wow......... I feel like I'm stuck in an elevator. Where are the drums?????? B.J. is turning over in his grave. Sad....
Ok - the song is one of my faves. Sarah could have sung it in a lower key but all credence to her for reviving what is a truly wonderful song. The video, however, is appalling.
The synth backup is definitely inferior to the original recording, but, even as a huge Procol Harum fan, I don't understand the dogmatic negative reaction to this cut. It's great that Sarah Brightman appreciated this fantastic song enough to cover it.
What a beautiful song and well done ! I think Procol Harum would feel complimented that Sarah Brightman gave a rendition of their work it brings back to the present generation that wonderful lovely song !
"A Salty Dog" is one of the best songs I have ever heard! However, unlike some other people here I love both versions. I think Sarah Brightman's version has preserved the spirit of the original, but has added something new, and the author of this video has done a great job! I must say that in some cases I don't like covers, for example I think that Jow Cocker has destroyed some nice Beatles songs.. but this is only my opinion.
Nicely done...makes me want to listen to Dive again!
I agree with you CapnWillTurner2, I like this version of the song better...
And Ianhet, in the land of Britney's and the like, there are good, no, GREAT singers and artists...don't dispatch all of them because of a few bubble-headed pop 'icons'.
A good voice is not the only, not even the first requirement to do justice to a great song. Without a true artistic sense and a deep understanding of life, a "cover" can be nothing but an empty shell, which has unfortunately become the norm, particularly with north American singers.
Aren't we in democracy? Have you ever heard the Procol Harum original version? And did you compare their AWESOME ORCHESTRAL ARRENGEMENT to this digital blandness? Nowadays dare call music the sound coming from their mobile!!! PITY!!!
I have heard the original, I did not like it at all. I like this version, and I'm sorry that you can't even accept the fact there are other versions than the original one. I feel sorry that you can't even try to like covers.
"A Salty Dog" belongs to those songs it is impossible to cover without destroying it. I like good covers like Hendrix "All Along the Watchtower" which can hold the comparison with Dylan. Same for Joe Cocker covering Beatles "With a Little Help From My Friends". But I guess he wouldn't cover "A Day in the Life" without any damage.
@PCMusic75 I came here out of curiosity and I don't like this version either, but your music fascism is an embarrassment. So everyone has got to like what you like or they are to be pitied? And you talk of democracy! LMAO! I can see you at home running the gates of the music concentration camps, ya' 'lil troll bully-boy!
Please dont compare Sarah with those commercial plastic dummies, Sarah does what she does amazingly, not the commercial shit like the other 2!!!!!!!!!
Sé, Sarah Brightman' la voz de s es absolutamente increíble. Su tan hermoso y tiene una tan amplia gama. Su aún más hermoso si usted ve su vivo. Esta es la razón por la cual la llaman el ángel de la música. Me disculpo si mi español es poco apagado, I don' t lo habla, y sabe muy poco, así que tuve que utilizar un traductor

Well, you are welcome to your opinion, but I ask that you don't bash on my comments, because there are others here that like those that you do not.

It was my all-time favorite song from Procol Harum. I don´t usually like covers, but this one from Sarah is one big positive exeption.
I know her version of Salty Dog for about 4, 5 years now and it´s on the list of songs to play at my funural, somewhere in (far, I hope) future....
