Hel, I like your version. I have to admit I was really skeptical about it because Natalie Merchant is one of my favorite singers and her voice is absolutely amazing imo. The more, I find "River" very difficult to sing. I was very positively surprised when I watched this. It is very emotional and you have a nice tinge to your voice (don't know if this is the right expression since English isn't my native language.) Keep it up, you seem to ve very talented!
wow, I am totally impressed by you singing the best song of a dedication for River ever.....I really love this song and Natalie Merchant, but you did it as well as Natalie, keep up the great work, hugs from Germany, Kat
@KatjaOs Aww Kat <3 Thank you girl. I don't think I get anywhere close to Natalie's amazing vocals, but your words really mean a lot to me. :) Hope all is well with you.
i love this song... im 15 yrs old and i think river phoenix was the hottest and most talented person ever! i get chills hearing u sing this.. you were amaing! (=
@gregorymuncey Really? I don't know how to thank you enough, but your words mean a lot to me. Thank you thank you thank you, and so sorry for not seeing this before.
I was reluctant to watch this as I thought nobody is going to get near Natalie's amazing vocals. I was pleasantly surprised. A lovely and clearly heartfelt rendition.
@Tapiola2007 That comment made me incredibly happy. :) Thank you so much. You have no idea how much it means to me. Honestly I did hesitate a bit when uploading this, cause Natalie Merchant's singing undoubtedly equals perfection. :)
Beautifully done, Helene. Better than any of the Natalie Merchant videos I've seen of this. Since you've been to the Viper Room and seen the place where River died, how does that affect your performance?
@rioamigo Better late than never, right? :) Thanks for the sweet words Vadie. It means a lot. Having been at the Viper Room definitely makes it easier to 'see' what she's saying and to imagine the chaos and the grief outside the club.
