Sara Bareilles Covers Coldplay's 'Yellow' Live at iheartradio

[natskennedy]

goosebumps all over. amazing... :')

[iTWASFASCINATION]

This is love.

[melek6311]

I think it would if been better if there was actual music instead of herself alone on the piano.... Just an opinion

[MayaKiyomizu]

I love Sara sooooo much, but I love Coldplay even more and this.. This isn't Yellow. I'm sorry.

[Catherine007111]

I love SARA!!!! I love all her music and covers, even though I prefer the original she truly made this something beautiful in a completely different light.

[ethsgrl]

for you I'll bleed myself dry

[rassakul]

3:37. that is all.

[MelaniePennington17]

I love Sara Bareilles. But this is the worst version of this song I've ever heard. It sucks. I can understand making the song your own, but she made it to where it's not even the same song anymore.

I think she needs to stay away from Coldplay songs.

[dginthehouse100]

@MelaniePennington17 you know what ur a fucking whore

[dginthehouse100]

@dginthehouse100 respond meanie

[sammiluvzbikes]

@MelaniePennington17 i understand what you mean it feels really different but everyone's got their own opinion right?

[andyyoungification1]

3:37 chills every time!!!!! I love the chick sooooooo much!!!!

[JapanEyedPinoy]

I was half expecting a choir to pop out from behind her at the end. Ha ha ha!

On another note: "butchering" is going too far. "Different" is a more accurate word. It's easy to copy a song note for note, but it takes talent to change it around to make it your own. If any of y'all bash on it cuz it sounds different, then go back and listen to the original in a corner and suck your thumb. I think what she did was brilliant. 'Nough said. >:3

[cierafazsings]

i dont know how people can say this is "bad" or "butchering it". The point of a cover is to make it your own and different but still hear the song in it. Sara Bareilles is one of the best music arrangers I can think of. This song is so brilliant and beautiful it makes me cry. You people must not have ears.

[mrfourcows]

what a thing to to do.

[kassizee]

Absolutely beautiful. I love how she can take the most simplistic chords and make it sound so amazing. She feels everything note she plays and sings.

[henrybrett91]

this is life changing



[ozwalkr]

Sara has a background in Acapella music back in college. thats why she can do so much with so little background. She was a judge on the recent season of The Sing Off for damn good reason. And if you think acapella is boring..go check some of the Pentatonix clips and Urban Method, and look for the Queen medley one of the groups did..fist people to do a credible Bohemian..but it took 15 of em to do it 8).

[LocoPelirojo13]

ilovemusic0791 pretty much summed it up for me. Wow, What a Great Cover. 55 People, can't admit this was good.

[DiscoKiss2012]

Fab cover, some real talent. Please have a look at my channel and let me know what you think to my original songs and covers. x JA x DiscoKiss

[gamnd092]

That was amazing! :O Speechless. Finally i found a good cover! =)

[PeytonBay1]

if she didnt butcher the song it woud have been good

[TheUnpredictable88]

I love Sara this song not so much

[smileexkiddd]

LOLZ the ending ruined my nostalgic memories..

[punkrockken17]

THE best friggin cover from her...i mean she is just FLAWLESS!!! <3 my sara BB

[k3lllie]

AMAZING



[smileexkiddd]

Chills. So many of them.

[0AspiringStar0]

To those people saying the beginning is boring.. No it's Sara demonstrating her ability to exercise restraint and her ease in the lower register.

[beardlessjoebae]

@0AspiringStar0 yeah i was really impressed by her range. also builds up build to really smack you in the face with her brilliance

[yarynlikekaren]

@beardlessjoebae she'll always smack you in the face with her brilliance. no matter what she's singing. (*cough cough* Come Round Soon - AMAZING range & breath control. check it out!)

[egaedeke]

@0AspiringStar0 Stripping down a full, complex, beautiful song and repeating the same note over and over again isn't restraint. Her vocals are strong, but her piano here is almost embarrassing.

[yarynlikekaren]

@egaedeke I think her goal was just to keep the piano simple and accent her vocals and the lyrics of the song more. The way she played it does keep your attention more on the vocals so, I still find it absolutely gorgeous. Different interpretations always make me smile. I totally understand what you were trying to say though. Really simple instrumental compared to what she's done in the past and is doing now.

[egaedeke]

@yarynlikekaren Fair enough - a respectful opinion. I suppose that depending on how much you love an original, a cover (no matter how it's done), will never do it proper justice. Perhaps that is the case here for me.

[yarynlikekaren]

@egaedeke Oh I can totally agree with that. & I love the original by Coldplay but I've been a huge Sara fan for years so maybe I'm a bit biased. (: But I get what you mean and can agree with you for the most part.

[0AspiringStar0]

@egaedeke I was referring to her vocals, not the piano-playing.

[stephanieee93]

this is beyond beautiful



[alexisexdees]

the beginning was kinda boring. but the other half made me feel the real music. :3 But it's still a great cover. :D

[JessiSimpsonJs]

this left me speechless, this is perfect. i have goosebumps.

[papillonsociable]

AMAZEBALLS. Complete emotion encompassed within this song. Just mesmerising....

[caitlinrose92]

I'm crying. so beautiful.

[msledger93]

boring up until 2:13, after that it's amazing <3

[ToriLiz521]

Does anyone else think the "i heart radio" thing at the end totally destroys the mood?  :(

[JellyFishPuddin]

@ToriLiz521 no way im going to get some pizza right now

[joshuaschubert]

i really like the original, but this blows my mind right now. so beautiful!

gotta love sara bareilles.

[KarinaBruger]

I love both Coldplay and Sara Bareilles..but I think her stripped down version has more emotions too it...just her voice and the piano - beautiful...On the other hand Coldplay's version sets me in a very good mood..

[wearashirt]

@KarinaBruger Haha. Because this makes you slightly sad.

[SquizzyCat]

What an inspiring and honest performance! Indeed, one of the rare occasions when the cover actually surpasses the original. Not to diminish Coldplay's efforts, but Sara communicates the "yellow" feeling in a more believable and poignant manner. Sara, you are truly a gift....

[chewdamndiamonds]

It's an amazing cover. Very original. Perhaps Coldplay wouldn't mind. :)

[fatpig62]

This cover fills you with a warm hope that is so rich, but at the same time, you sense a pain that ultimately touches your soul, empowers you, and prompts you to look at the stars and know that all is not lost :)

[chriscash1982]

This version is annoying

[lethesunshinedown]

so many goosebumps! MAGICAL!

[MrOBIBI]

I couldnt tell the feeling...I...

[achotto]

the best ever coldplay cover... downloading start. :D thank you.

[nafroe1]

Simple. Beautiful.. Gorgeous. Amazing. Unique. An amazing cover. :)

[acsibbers]

those are some tough intervals she's hitting perfectly, absolutely stunning.

[AnabertaG]

The emotion she put into this song... DAMN! Amazing. ♥♥

[ailyn101]

gorgeous. gorgeous. gorgeous.

[sapphiresarina]

sara, christina, alicia, mariah...real/raw/talent/can actually sing w/out a band behind them :)

[jnaomious]

hehe her "yay" moment really early in this video reminded me of Phoebe Buffet in FRIENDS!

[InspiredMeAudrey]

Yep.. I just Cried a little :)

[ericpie55]

If I can marry a woman that is even remotely as beautiful as Sara Bareilles, I will have succeeded in life. period.

[rassakul]

the run at 1:25 gets me everytime.

[tenthmurder]

"i hope you like it..."? Sara, I wish there is a word beyond "love" to tell you how much I (_____)ed your cover. I'm curled up right now with tears streaming down my face. I just want to let you know that because of the way you shared your music and heart through this song, I will never, never look at the stars the same way anymore. I miss you KRB, your rock.

[CAJMplay]

Sara Bareilles is the best female vocalist in the industry today. She has no competition

[ruben7pr]

@CAJMplay Dude, Adele. But Sara is almost as good. I prefer Adele any day of the week. Not to take anything away from Sara, she is just amazing and this cover is fabulous. That's just my opinion.

[onaga2021]

@CAJMplay I totally agree with you

[MTlogan2133]

So much better than the original

[dacorner8]

so simple yet sooooooo remarkable

[MrAdamjames1221]

Goosebumps dont lie.

[theJagunkPerkasa]

sumpah ini bikin mbrebes mili...

[abla9991]

she looks like princess katherine ! :D

[cithindril]

One of my two favorite female vocalists. I had never heard her do this song before. Amazing can't begin to describe this performance. I really do have goosebumps!

[pcasey88]

Or Otis Redding... Shit. Amazing nonetheless.

[Dreaa1819]

Where's is the love button?

[tlh235]

i paused my porn for this!

[sonofhamp]

@tlh235 Now that's saying something lol

[wearashirt]

@tlh235 Hahaha! Bet you were on that site abbreviated as YJ.

[wearashirt]

The clavinova is also amazing! Wish I had one of those!

[ruben7pr]

Great version. Of course nothing can top the original but Sara's not bad at all. Very good cover.

[confusedme15]

i think she has made the song portray a different image, she was trying to sing it in a unique way which will definitely touch the hearts of those who pay attention to her rendition :)

its a great version :)

[chilikun]

I love Sara Bareilles, but I'm a big fan of Coldplay. I'm not saying her version is bad, but to me, Yellow is a very simple but beautiful song, it says it all in its lyric, melody, so I don't really like it when she "tried" so hard to sing it, it broke the magic of the song.

[r3i123]

too slow...nothing can top the original

[khaian]

Makes me wanna cry.

[ilovemusic0791]

my goosebumps have goosebumps.

Beautiful!

[OhNaiely]

Does anyone have a tutorial on this?D:

its so amazing<3

[taylorizamazing1001]

Only Sara can pull off a top-of-the head bun and still look like a beautiful and creative person instead of an annoyingly established librarian.

[demaru56]

and here I was thinking the City of Prague Orchestra had best covered this song!

[juniwilliams]

boring

[mandy81133]

To be honest I had to try 3 times to watch this video. The first two times I just wasn't feeling the beginning but I kept reading the comments and they were all blown away. So I listened again and WOW around the halfway mark I heard the complete emotion and fell in love. @2:46 to the end my tears started and wouldn't stop.

R.I.P. Auntie Ruby <3

[sanket2524702]

damn this was different and awesome..!!

[haneeification]

You are very talented, sara! :) I hope I got your genes,too! HAHA :))))

Love it!<3

[kaydeerai]

i love you sara.

[ms3pugz]

Does anyone know if this is available for download???? I can't get this version out of my head-I love it SO MUCH!!!!

[booo3x]

Its my Favourite song too :D

[quietriots]

This is making me cry. And I'm in a library. *&(^#!!

[quietriots]

This is making me cry. And I'm in a library. FUCK!!!

[lilmisspriss299]

I'm not a fan of Coldplay but I do like this song and love her version even better!!!!

[azmirwhat]

youtube needs an auto replay button

[SheHerGirl]

nothing beats coldplay

[mikey10toes]

Everything she does simply blows my mind.

[joesmallvillefan93]

This cover brought me to tears. Really. I'm the biggest Coldplay fan I know... and I think they are a hard act to follow. But Sara.. she really did them justice. In her rightfully own, unique, way. Just lovely.

[bellelli1]

Es hermosos como canta!!!!!!!!

[KAYLEE00000]

I fucking love her voice. God. We need to hear more talent like this on the radio.

[SarahSkillmanMusic]

such power.

[raynedrops]

what chords is she playing like f and c??

[Ser282]

6 years ago..Somebody ask me to download this song for her..Because of a broken Emule.. 2 weeks later I began to love her and I still do.. I kick her out of my life a year and a half ago I now I cant understand why... I just cant understand what I was thinking... I miss you, Rocío...Greatest cover ever!

[jessbrown97]

FLIP I LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!! This is great to hear one of my favorite songs by my favorite artist!

[BBVBC99]

3:35 gave me a feeling that i've never felt before in a song! made my eyes water!

[thielepr]

the best performance that I 've heard in a long time

[sonofhamp]

@ericpie55 3:35 too.

[patmayonnaise]

Gave me chills right from the start. Amazing.

[IvOnnevn]

omg... im in tears too !

this is completely amazing <3

[johannaaight]

she's stunning :)

[littleoeuf]

absolutely stunning cover....enough said



[ms3pugz]

LOVE this version...beautiful....<3



[DrVictor01]

Terrific cover, I usually don't like covers of Coldplay songs as nobody does them the way they do, but this really struck me. You can just feel her feelings when she's singing this song. Chapeaux.

[Coolg01]

LOL i almost thought she was going to sing the climb in the beginning xD

[ngayu85]

i love sara^___________^!

[rrpoknat28]

THUMBS UP if this version deeply touched your heart and soul!!

[mattl0987]

This is sooooo well done, no words can help describe the beauty and pain she exhibits in this song. BRAVO.

[WareThunder117]

so much emotion... this is how all music should be played!

[sonofhamp]

I would give Ridiculous amounts of Money that I don't have to watch her do a Cover of "Fields of Gold" in the style of Eva Cassidy.

[elephante89]

i dont know why but this isnt my favorite :\

[NewYorkerForGood]

Why are none of the top comments about the song?

This has to be one of the most beautiful renditions of this song that I've ever heard.

[fragitza]

@NewYorkerForGood isn't it wonderful.

[TheAlissLynn]

Amazing cover. Great job! Please never stop making music Coldplay, AND, Sara Bareilles! :)

[wckdboi22]

She breaks my heart and puts it back together in just one song!! There is no talent out right now like hers!!!

[Gdomenica13]

Oh my god. Sarah touches me deep in the soul I forgot I had for many years. What a gorgeous rendition. You have my ultimate fanship.

[jd060300]

Classy

[Rachelleluluful]

Her voice is so pretty!!!! Great cover!

[hamelyn06]

Gotta love Sara!

[mrfourcows]

what a thing to do.

[jmdlr9]

beautiful

[CML766]

gave Yellow a whole new meaning ..



[Guitarsg62]

Absolutely beautiful.



[tntjerry]

holy shit...

[Lifeyard]

IT IS TOTALLY AWESOME!!!

[CalvinSinh]

pathetic why did i even listen to the 1st 40 secs? oh yes coz i was writing this stupid comment :P

[ToriLiz521]

If I could "like" this video a million and one times, I totally would.

[Mhatshepsut]

loved her voice how it sounded... but the piano was really bad kind of annoying

[natashab17]

from 2:46 on...it's mind blowing.

[rustybobbbypins]

this is amazing

[mbot565]

this rendition just makes my heart melt! *sigh*

[MichaelDeMichele]

wow she hit the falsetto pitches with full voice and she makes the song sound so painfully emotional. fantastic.

[onaga2021]

sara bareilles is one of my favorites indie singers songwritters, her cover about yellow has passion,and feeling. this is the best cover forever and ever

[Assylumboy]

Yeah you can definitely tell she grew up with this song.. and they've gotten to know each other!

[brielizabeth103]

I have goosebumps after watching this. Sara Bareilles continues to amaze me every time I hear her amazing voice.

[31285bpierre]

the 7 dislikes are feeling rather blue...

[AnneliesDemuyt]

Sara Bareilles, you just blew my mind.

[thetolkiengeek]

This song is amazing. At first, during the first minute or so, I didn't like it, but I seriously could listen to this all the time. It's just so heartfelt. Its a whole new take on a lovely song. She showed a different side of this, and it made my eyes water a little bit. Thanks, Sara.

[senecadgreat]

where's coldplay? she cant murder this song!

[dougday84]

wow.. it's like a whole different song.. great great job!!! It really is a great song.

[TaylorJae17]

I'm a big Coldplay fan, and this is the first time I actually took in, contemplated, and was moved by the lyrics.

THANK YOU SARA!

[whencoolkidsrbored]

Anyone know what chords she plays?

[31285bpierre]

@whencoolkidsrbored sounds like she dropped it a step and minored it... maybe...

[DistressingSoul]

It's amazing..

I'm speachless.. What a voice!!

[michaelpttt]

Wow!!! I don't leave comments but amazing. Love the feeling.

[chrissi07ify]

and i <3 sara bareilles :)

[Bonanzasiregar]

she is so beautiful

[mochaluvinmarie]

beautifully haunting. 

[annnmarga]

Sara's incredible.

[hansoff]

just had teary eyes

[krneel128]

I won't remark on the song then and now, but know that she turned ME into something beautiful: a listener.

[caosjett07]

She turned this song into something beautiful :)
