Eva Cassidy - Somewhere Over The Rainbow

[archlyn1]

Absolutely incredible. The defining rendition of this song. It leaves you breathless and speechless.

[drsick2727]

The Songbird is free. This will be played as they place my remains in the Great Mausoleum of Forest Lawn

[deeway1963]

Bless her. So very lovely.

[thestarsmydestinyy]

Inspiring

[TheCedilia]

One of Gods angels..

[diana11832]

What a wonderfull voice......

[diamondgirl359]

Everything Eva sang was an inspiration! Just love it!

[j0hnb0y21]

Wow, best version I have ever heard.

[thebaldybishop]

jimmy ... we are the hearts !! CSF

[jnc07res]

Wish I was there...

[irishgeal1]

eva's my rainbow.

[hannah4440]

just one word!! PERFECT, thank you Eva, and thanks for upload

[TheKriboli]

What a Wonderful gift she gave us through her music!!! Now she is Heaven and happy, no illness and playing her music forever. I am so happy that we had her here for a time!!!!

[cardains]

This is just where she is. xxx

[ghendric]

damn.... that was awesome..

[zadewowuk100]

today ( Feb 2nd, 48 today ) would have been Evas birthday .. remembering you today as i do every day .. please take care of this wonderful angel xx

RIP

[mrcashmoney51085]

@zadewowuk100 She would have been 49...

[tristonrockwood21]

God wanted her singing in his choir. Wow what an amazing voice just glad we get to listen to it.

[bobwaits]

43 dislikes..they say there is always one idiot...they were wrong there are 43...

[DrMusic084]

@bobwaits you stole my thunder, now there are 44 clueless idiots who wouldn't know class if it came up to them and slapped them on the forehead. hi5

[jacksun3]

She died only months later. I wish I would have been able to see you play and sing live.

[ZeaForUs]

One of the artists who passed away too young.

Quote "You're out of touch my baby, my poor discarded baby" - 'Out of time' by Mick Jagger

[justynaija]

What an empty landscape without Eva Cassidy !

She was very brave and patient during her illness

Now she is over the rainbow...

[brelfan]

This is beautiful, and Jesus, this lady had soul. (For those who don't really know what it is, it's this.) But have to disagree that Garland, in her way, and IZ in his, sang anything other than definitive versions.

[OliviaJadeArchbold]

Hey there! please go to my Youtube Channel & listen to my live cover of 'Somewhere over the Rainbow',please listen to my other music & see what I've been up to since BGT, hope you enjoy :) Olivia Jade Archbold xx

[ShowViedo]

Eva is one more example of the undiscovered talent out there. We are subjected to the choices of a handful of music experts & the million dollar marketing campaigns that give us "singers" that are nothing more than glorified pole dancers.

I fell in love with Eva the moment I heard her songs on the Today Show. Immediately bought all her CD's. Thank You to Eva's family for maintaining her website & her memory. Eva is playing for the Angels, but I wish she was still playing for us.

[zadewowuk100]

You did it again Eva , im sat here crying .. such a beautiful voice , i never tire hearing you sing .. R I P xxx

[edburck]

I'm sorry, did someone say there were "other versions" of this song? haha! With all due respect to Ms. Garland and all the covers that came after her - Eva OWNS it.

[euroman32589]

she's dead and lady ga ga lives..not fuckin right...not that i wish anybody dead, but you get my point.

[Prican271984]

Omg this song makes me cry... ;-).. Makes me think of an happy relationship of good moment's and child hood memories

[TheLilybaby2]

What a beautiful voice............

[rja81]

this is one of the most inspirational performances i have ever had the privilege of witnessing, R.I.P. Eva Cassidy your light still shines upon us mortals.

[bailinnumberguy]

Simply incredible performance. What an amazing interpreter of songs.

[theodas]

I've lived over 50 years and never really understood the depth of this song until now. Eva's untouchable voice and singular guitar outshine today's cookie cutter "artists" who depend on special effects, lighting and media hype to make it.

God rest your soul Eva. Hope to see you soon.

theodas

[Zona57Bob]

to tracyb934: You have it down pat. We're not likely to hear a voice like that again this side of Heaven. It's wonderful the rest of us mortals were blessed to listen to her while she was here during her too-short time on Earth. We link to treasures while we can, infuse them into our hearts, and hopefully learn enough from them to pass along beauty to others. Gollll-ly, she was just incredible.

[makeawish79]

This is beutiful R.I.P eva :'( I cant believe any sick idiots would click 'dislike' She was lovely and didnt do anything to you people so dont listen to peoples songs to dislike then espiecially when they are dead :'( xxxxxxxxxxx

[sheephelmet]

Moves me to tears every time I hear this wonderful voice.

[CharleneHaughey]

My favourite song in the world, for many different reasons...how many times to can you cry to this. Her voice is so pure.

[gamingforgoats]

R.I.P 

[Johangv]

43 people have never been above the rainbow....

[speedbag1]

stunningly beautiful. How could anyone in their right mind hit "dislike" on this performance. ??

[louisemusiclover]

@speedbag1

Totally agree with you this is so beautiful and i am at a loss to understand how anyone could dislike this performance just pure magic.

God Bless

[KathrynKeats]

With great respect for you...Angels welcoming you, no doubt. You are the singing angel.

[TheSololobo]

Nobody pulls at the strings of my heart like Eva.

[Ibanezcube]

This i s sick. She's amazing!

[sunbeams7]

so why ,during all of her usa performances,did anybody give a shit, she had to go to th UK to be appreciated,everyone of her performances tears my heart open,openly cry my eyes out,such short lived perfection

[Adam1989Rocks]

such a sad loss :(, eva had talent in bucket loads and her voice was soo unique and absolutely breathtaking,

This song tugs at my heart strings and gets me in tears every single time i hear it.

The voice of an angel

[mauriziobarrica]

Interessante ed originale interpretazione

[LegendaryMusicMakers]

absolutly phenomenal! nobody can sing like her! such a talented musician aswel...

[maisymair]

best version by far!

[04Stargazer]

What an amazing talent. I first heard Eva's rendition of this classic years ago. It brings me to tears every time I hear it. She was taken from us far too early.

[DougStoneent]

When nature needs a genius it creates one. No-one has ever sung this song like this. The incredible technical phrasing, the soulfulness, the investment of pure emotion in every word and note. It summarizes human hope and sorrow so powerfully. And it is seldom mentioned that she played the hell out of that guitar with fine arrangements. She was a gem in a five and dime store.

[alagraham]

Emotional - wow

[thebaldybishop]

to my daddy... i miss you

[garryheywood1]

PERFECTION,pure and simple,music has the power to move us to tears and each time I listen to this song,that is what happens. Does anyone out there find it difficult to imagine what life would be like without music?- give it a go, I find it impossible, but it does remind me of how lucky we are and of how easily we can take beautiful music like this for granted, just give it some time and the appreciation will follow. I guarantee it

[thecleaner084]

ahh damn...... im a hardened metalhead...... but this lady just melts my heart... worn the song bird album through till its demise

[goodthing52]

Eva is in heaven , teaching all the other angels how to sing like this .

[hannah4440]

@goodthing52 Agreed, reckon she's sitting there with Jeff Buckley holding court!! love you Eva

[ong0512]

Lost of words, I just sit very still and listen.

[pikemancolley]

this one, for david hellsdown my uncle, who died today may godbless you dave you were loved by many and will be missed terribly xxxxxxxxxxxxx das

[Gulsunsherif]

Pure gold. What a loss.

[paolalema1]

How I love you so Eva.. How I love you so..

[noerlund75]

It is true they are gonna change the word "pefection" to Cassidy in the english dictionary??



[paul196824]

@noerlund75 no one is perfect you can always try harder and build on things but i hear what ya saying saddly missed

[augfretter]

Incredible song by Eva Cassidy. Never get tired of listening!!

[kinkybusiness]

her voice just makes my heart ache and bring tears to my eyes

[ridgebackdk]

one of the reasons i hate xfactor and so called tallent programs--how many more eva cassidys do we have out there and will never get to hear..true tallent and without the fancy crap to hide anything..support your local artist over tallent shows.if music is left in their hands we will never have the like of this ever again..singers that love to sing and not just want to be famous...we all know someone that could make it -but wont..

[tembuck2]

@ridgebackdk Amen! Found her & Lost her in one Week!

Makes No Seance?

Why?

T

[redhotror]

@tembuck2 loved ones are never lost ! they are forever in your mind the glory of memories . shut your eyes ,you will see.

[toeknee1965]

@ridgebackdk you are so right on man

[Mileylover1005945]

@ridgebackdk Please check out Amy Whitcomb! she has so much talent and soul, but has unfortunately been rejected by both x factor and american idol. she is insanely good.

[j0hnb0y21]

@ridgebackdk How can this song make you hate anything? <3

[ridgebackdk]

@j0hnb0y21 fair point johnboy21, i just meant that there are a lot of really talented kids out there in all walks of music that dont have a chance to be heard just because of how music is handled these days.

[cards0486]

I never hearad of her until I read what Krsiten Chenoweth said about her singing. I came here to hear her...now I'm going to amazon.com.

Truly, she had the voice of an angel.

[wisewonder52]

No one does it better.

[sharkscuda69]

The World Has lost another ANGEL !!!!!!

[perceptionisall]

Gives me goosebumps and brings me to tears every time. God bless you Eva Cassidy.

[Kuhrvenal]

Thanks for this,Eva.We miss you.We are still here looking for you.

[happyguyx1]

god rest her ---- words cant describe her ---- an angel with the angels now

[sessionmessiah]

Eva is Alive !

[MatStreamProductions]

so much emotion, draws a tear every time, make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, unbelievable version. The best.

[azteca40]

38 Xfactor viewers watched this video.

[TheVermari]

I just love how these little tears flows down my cheek while I listen to this beautiful rendition...i cried towards the end of the song... it was nice to feel that way tho

[muff170]

beautiful woman and beautiful voice xxxx

[TheAlDuffy]

mere words cannot describe the emotions that are stirred when listening to Eva singing this, it's just beautiful and pulls at invisible strings attached to my heart

[12venison]

Alot of people can sing. But Eva could sang!!!

[rPatrick08]

Im pretty sure shes singing this in heaven and coming new songs.. R.I.P EVA. <3

[quaser2000]

it breaks my heart each time I listen to it. RIP Eva x

[toinventit]

She really touches my heart. It is a timeless performance. I'll miss her.

[BabsTurtleGirl]

Absolutely Beautiful <3

[plugman1963]

Heavenly......

[RetroCaptain]

Good day

It took oh about 5yrs to figure out who did this

AMAZING rendition of "Rainbow" eh..

Thanks to Randy Bachman's show "Vinyl Tap"

He mentioned Eva ..he discovered her music many yrs ago, & mentioned she passed in 1997, unless I heard wrong..

Anyhow yes I def. like her singing

RIP Eva

[Thommohank]

If Elvis was the King then Eva will be fore ever in our hearts as the Queen because there will never be a voice like hers it,s not only her voice but also the way she plays her guitar but i have never been so excited about a person , Eva just leaves you with tears but also so with hope and may you live forever and ever

[SWIDanateske]

OMG, I'm ONLY the 3'333th like?! This deserves so much more!

(seriously, awesome number is awesome. Just like the song =D!)

[jimmygb88]

this is the only song that really gets me every time. unbelievable

[jaylovestisha]

amazing how sad you died so young and talented :(

[ardsbangor]

This has always been one of my favourite songs. The arrangement of this classic song is performed by Ava Cassidy with soul, great guitar and vocal range. Something that’s sadly lacking today.

[elvickRULES]

Likes and dislikes are meaningless people. Getting worked up over something so trivial is sickening to me. Just enjoy Eva's brilliance. Dislikes don't stop her from being a talented woman who's voice touches your soul and likes won't let you enjoy it anymore than you already do.

Move on.

[joshscomputer]

Anyone else think Judy would have been proud?

37 people don't know beauty even when it's screaming in their ear.

[euroman32589]

.sleep well eve, you are beatuiful....:)

[tracyb934]

Eva Cassidy....an absolute,diamond studded, 100%, gold plated original performer.

Her voice and her style are both instantly recognisable and will live for a long long time.

RIP Eva......

[SuperGov07]

@tracyb934 Hey Tracy. The thing, in my view, is to think where she would have been now. True legend. She is not dead as long as we remember her. xx

[raf4282619]

@tracyb934 Couldn't agree more.  I want this sone played at my funeral. She was a stunning performer.

[percy99999]

37 idiots? I find it incredulous to say the least that these haters can manage to walk, talk AND breathe at the same time. Eva girl, you were a stellar artist in an age when so little real talent was around. RIP and thank you for the memories. xxx

[kaunisaamu]

The ever best version...

[linelia100]

beautifull

[johnyasmin13]

What a voice & talent? I wished I could have been lucky enough to have been at this gig R I P eva.

[2409jenny]

She sung this song beautifully, absolutely stunning!

[k0reaholic]

Heard this song a long time ago in one of the episodes of smallville.. Its the first time i heard someone covered this song soulfully and differently from the original. Two thumbs Up.

[SpaceHeadMonkey]

It must have been quite something listening to her live.

[vivaelmario666]

how is this related to "the biggest pimple in the world"?

[dragonOfruit]

@vivaelmario666 I was wondering about the same thing..

[covensun]

rest in peace angel

[duduadubidu]

Sorry pals, this one is incredible beautiful, no doubt about it, but Israel Kamakawiwo version is way better.

[rtdis]

her voice gives me goosebumps - so beauitful

[rainbowcicak]

Wow, this is amazing. She may not have the best vocals, but the way she sings it has so much soul in it.

[mexxikann]

NOT A SOUND IN THE HOUSE EXCEPT OF AN ANGEL SINGING !! thnk god we heard U ....salamat

[161953andrew]

your not forgotten sis love sue xxxx

[kindreddrift]

36 people will never make it over the rainbow.

[blackswan13666]

@kindreddrift Your god damned right the soul less basttrads

[TigredelMar77]

I don't know if is the best cover version, but its the one i like the most.

[Sklfcker187]

Worked on a musicological piece with my girlriend (past) about Eva: understanding were her voice came from personal and family. I knew it was beautiful. I wanted to understand her growing and coming to form as much as possible. Saddens me her recorded potential was never really heard, although this is true to eva... skits and proper vocals define a true artist of form. Sometimes seeing the artiists now I have anger toward how they threaten posiblities of talent such as Eva's in our world

[foxpilot64]

Eva has the most beautiful voice that I've heard in a long time...Wow...This is a gem of a recording.

[happyguyx1]

thanks uploader

[happyguyx1]

i cry when i watch this----shes incredible----i just feel so sad she was taken from us----rest in peace angel x

La piu bella versione di "Somewere over the rainbow" che abbia mai ascoltato.

The best version of "Somewere over the rainbow" I've heard.

Thanks Eva. From Italy.

[ingerballe1]

Vidunderlig.

[Mrssandrarobinson]

This was one of my mum's Mrs Doreen Blackburn's favourite songs so we played this at her funeral at the end of July 2011. The lyrics and the tone of Eva's voice made it so touching to say goodbye on that sad day. Love and miss you everyday mum.

[cuntzillamcgonigle]

Superb interpretation with tremendous yearning and feeling

[donatelloadarna]

amazing vocals and and that's not even in HD yet. i was completely sucked in there.

[D0cPr0c09]

[mountveggie]

this video deserves a gazillion likes.

[starlitbright]

Eva- you have my heart and inspire me every time I sing. I am sending my love to you way up high past blue birds, past sky,up to you.

[thesleeps]

I dont know what the venue is that she is singing but i hope they realise how lucky they were; not for all the prestige, but just to have had Eva sit and sing to them all

[MsMcBell]

Awesome! The best version, definitely!

[bigredoneder]

THE MOST ANGELIC VOICE EITHER SIDE OF HEAVEN.

[aggieband528]

Why do the good die so young... she was an incredible singer, discovered by most of the world years after death. Her voice is that of an angel.

[stroketheboat]

I cant remember ever hearing a person sing so beautifully. Live too.

It's simply mesmerising.

I hope she's at peace, wherever she is - I am sure anyone listening to this song feels exactly that.

[RedSceneStudio]

the best song ever... my bad, the best voice ever!

[hmgriffin]

Honestly the most beautiful voice I have ever heard...

[jcassidy98]

35 idiots dont like this

[lisabonsal05]

She was a beautiful woman with a beautiful voice! This is one of my favorite songs. When I am feeling down I just listen to Eva singing this song and I feel much better!

[rogbow69]

So gorgous...what a tragedy she left us...like Van Gogh she sold nothing till she died now all the parasites are out saying what a wonderfull talent she was,,..I must admit I had never heard of her until she died..am I a parasite or just slow to pick up on this wonderfull womans talent?

[BS1965able]

@rogbow69 u got there in the end all that matters.

[MrBlucas]

Eva sings this for all us who dream, thanks Eva.
