Eddi Reader - How Great Thou Art

[eemo1873]

Beautiful rendition - she is forgiven for her not so brilliant Ae Fond Kiss!!!

[sosjp]

Very Nice.

[urvi62]

Thank you Eddi for this and all the others that have given me & my Happy many great nights out at your gigs.

[dru1955]

I have heard it so many times but Eddie your version of a great hymn is awesome.

[bushtuker]

Then sings my soul !!! Beautiful Eddi

[clockerfeet]

Rabbie's 'girlfriend' does it again ! Gorgeous Eddi !

[Hjaltland2]

Beautiful Eddi.. she certainly moves me.

[cugir321]

wgl1964: This version is magnificent. It's fearless. Carrie Underwoods opry version, done by herself, is also a magnificent performance. Especially towards the end where she closes her eyes and is totally in the moment. The audience disappears and it translates across to the listener. Both are very powerful.

[blackhoody76]

I'm not a religous person but hearing Eddi singing this makes me want to believe so that I can connect on another level. Saying that....musically it's simply gorgeous.

[vinayamoz]

Good song and good singer , brilliant....Great what else ???

..

[snappez]

nice pussey

[stix2you1]

Without doubt the best rendition of this song. Eddie can do no wrong she is brilliant!

A propper entertainer not Xfactor want to be's.

[wgl1964]

lot of chatter recently regarding the Carrie Underwoo/dVince Gill version recently. I guess none of those folks had listened to Eddi"s interpretation which in my opinion is second to none - including the King himself

[wgl1964]

just listened to this for the 126,984th time

[60adl]

Go Eddi! Gie it laldy hen!

[jahenders]

My favorite version of this song. I could listen to it all day.

[shazam15]

She should keep her arms away from that fire.

[kbalynch]

this woman never ceases to amaze me...deep and heartfelt this is

[melodyl52]

Eddi Reader truly sang this with her whole heart. What a beautiful performance!  Thank you for posting this wonderful video and thank you to my friend amethyst2001

for sharing it with me.

[BARDONICHI]

X Factor singers !!! This is the voice of a true artist no raunchy crap to endure this lady needs nothing more than her own magnificent voice...Superb

[nosetam]

beautiful voice, lovely arrangement, pity the best verse is missing.

[jonthebhoy59]

Beautiful Eddi. Simply beautiful.

[linmck1]

I have this on my favourites as it is the best version i have heard this lady is a beautiful, & fantastic singer I could literally listen to her all day there is no airs n graces with her she does not think she is a deva but omg she could give most of the so called singers these days a run 4r their money - all round brilliant performer & person wish her every happiness love her voice xx

[heehawluck1]

Without a doubt, this is the most beautiful rendition of this song I have ever heard... and I have heard many. Thank you Eddi.... for making this grown man cry. xx

[catscarer]

@heehawluck1 ha ha yep . me to

[lpm1]

I have seen Eddi Reader live many times in various settings, both small, intimate gigs and in large concert venues and I can asssure everyone that her voice is far from weak. It's a most wonderful musical instrument and her interpretation of this song is beautfiul in it's simplicity. God, whoever he, she, or whatever it might turn out to be should be proud of their handiwork with the creation of this voice.

[Pickinbuddy]

What a beautiful and different arrangement...very unique--just like Eddi herself!

[micrask]

Have this been recorden on any CD available?

[sliber100]

Eddi Reader is not just sing the song.... she tells the story!

[cottongrassfairy]

Her voice is so clear.... just lovely

[chrisdavid4026]

never heard this sung by eddi reader, but she sings it beautifully, makes me cry

[jahenders]

I could literally listen to that all day and must tear myself away. My favorite rendition of that song ever. She's also a lovely lady.

If there were anything I'd change about the video it'd be her outfit -- it detracts a bit

[MicealMacAntSaoir]

I have loved big Sadie's singing and her choice of songs ever since 1988 when I first heard Perfect on the radio. I just love to listening to her music. Sadie you're a very beautiful and sexy woman in every way! Don't ever stop singing!

[cugir321]

Just noticed after listening to her other tunes....her voice seems more beautiful in the lower registers. It has a breathy quality that is gorgeous.

[MicealMacAntSaoir]

@cugir321 have you heard her recording of Shirt And Comb? It totally backs up what you say, and in any case I agree with you :-)

[jahenders]

Beautiful. She sings with feeling and beauty, not trying to dazzle with vocal effects that have no feeling.

I could listen to this all day.

[cugir321]

Truely a magnificent performance. The best I've seen her do. Her voice is like a heartbeat. Needed. I love the natural quality. The simplicity. The movement of her hands. The look in her eyes. The abandon of her performance. This is the purest performance I've seen done....ever. At the deepest level. It is loving and fearless. The essence of the song. The essence of God. She must be an interesting person.

[leianleian]

How Great Thou Art !!!!!

[jahenders]

I could listen to/watch this all day

[Gma1456]

Beautifully done! One of my favorite songs!

[LordInksworth]

She sings with her hands. I love her.

[kjgoya777]

Her voice is like a bell sound - clear and resonant.

[TheBookofEnoc]

But i tell you Yt you should do things from your heart for you can not trust your heart your heart goes to baal most of the time to get pussie or want millions that is your heart Trust God screw the heart why give into the heart it is flesh and blood not Jesus who died on the c ross for your sins.

[NotMarkKnopfler]

Love it. Beautiful in it's simplicity and innocent in it's understatement. Eddie Reader: One of the jewels in the crown of Scottish music, and a credit to her country. God Bless,

NMK

[donnig60]

Beautiful in it's simplicity.

[theMacvarish]

I'm an athiest and I love this.

I would happily listen to her sing her shopping list.

[eorr01]

this is such an Honest rendition that shows her beauty as well. Makes me miss Home even more

[sadielumay]

Such a simple and moving performance, thiswas a favourite of my Gran who died 5 years ago this week...

[crashaxearmory]

Mickc26

Your so right on my friend.

I couldn't have said it any better.

A truly inspired performance.

[mickc26]

Everything about this video is beautiful

The song,singer the whole performance

[TheKippenm]

This makes me sit back and take stock of my life. Beautiful version.

[djforde]

this is THE best rendition

[oberones]

I have known this Hymn for decades and this is got to be the best and most fervent singing of it I have heard. Eddi does appear to be singing this not as a performance, but as a genuine appeal to the Lord

[jeffro1234567891]

Beautiful!

[rainblaze1]

unaffected ,pure, clear. and clearly beautiful

[Cocothebastard]

Hope God was listening,she was singing it to him.

[1mlis1cc]

She's not singing to preform--she's just singing for herself. It's very profound.

[AbbyHyderman]

In my moments of biggest dispear.. My Heavenly Father has taken my hand and we have cried together... when I have felt alone in this country.. He has showed me Iam really Not.. HE is right there with me.

HOW GREAT THOU ART my Saviour, My Father, My King!

[pawpawbear02]

No one can sing any this better, this is best by-far

[psychicdreams]

absolutely beautiful voice,truely enjoyable awesome.

[Alexjhs]

Awesome.

[kristygentz]

She sings this so beautifully she could almost make me believe in God!

[youtubsteak]

@kristygentz

I agree,when there is so much wrong in the world this reminds you of those rare, beautiful moments.

[Susq15]

What a lovely performance of this hymn!

[mosgba]

i always charge when this song is sing. wow i love this.

[victoriaverve]

absolutely beautiful

[digitig]

I'm so glad she didn't take it any slower -- it's so easy to turn that song into a dirge, but Eddi so beautifully avoids that (of course) and paces it perfectly.

[rnr5682]

the best

[mrchevrolet01]

so beautiful need I say more

[pawpawbear02]

still the best version i've ever heard, best by far.

[pawpawbear02]

so easy to listen to an heart felt just great

[Mipsywipsy]

The most beautiful version of this I have ever heard. Such a beautiful voice and it is so effortless for Eddi

[Holynda]

I think she has a perfect voice! sweet and clear, and soft, yet strong. I just think it would sound even better if she sang this song more slowly.

[festina44]

Eddi should make an American tour!

[afscm23]

Great voice eddi, ive been listening to your voice for a long time now. From the patience of angels to the presant day you just get better and better lol Adrian xxx ps south of the border ok

[pudzelgummidge]

Hi-Im sure u have Love is the way-what an album-her best yet I think-didn't think she could get better but ......

[benzaitenMAN]

God is god, but Eddi is one step beyond, that when it comes to life of this planet. If only the whole world sang the same song. What a world we would have. Carry on Eddi. The stage belongs to you. But the stage was always in the hands of the Scots afterall.

[pudzelgummidge]

Breathtaking..if you read Eddi's blogs on myspace you will know what a deeply spiritual woman she is. She inspires me with everything she does. Thanks Eddi.xx

[Joecelt1888]

Don't believe in God. Just love Eddi

[Jedidiah960]

Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins. Acts 2.38.

[blackberryheaven]

She brings such an unfeigned sweetness and innocence to this song. Truly breathtaking rendition!

[NossedEvoTwin]

Couldn't say it better. Perfect comment.

[jazzfunk61]

fantastic

[superscot69]

mmm many thanks for

[pawpawbear02]

As i have said before this is by-far the best version of the song i've ever heard like it or not for,but for me Eddi you are the best singer of this i've heard, good fur yoo.

[ElCatrin08]

Soothing and beautiful......

well said yt102008. people that don't know what to say, should seriously not say ANYTHING at all.

[YT102008]

Beautiful!!!

[wb1]

Her vocals are much too weak to sing this song. I almost went to sleep listening to her. I've only heard one version that's ever done it real justice, and that was Carrie Underwood's when she performed it on the Grand Ole Opry. I was there, and it's definitely something that I'll never forget as long as I live.

[YT102008]

wb1: This is Eddi's beautiful affirmation of God. You should have gone to sleep but unfortunately you stayed awake to make your stupid comments. It is unbelievable that you would come here to compare and in do so deny anyone's affirmation becaused their voice may be too weak for you. Everyone who truly does this song from their heart do justice to it in their own way.

[tuijatrivun]

I agree, why would anyone who has common sense make such a stupid comment, she's not singing this for you wb1,but for the glory of God, i'm quite sure he does not enjoy the comment wb1 made either, there is enough crap to deal with in this world, there are times people should keep their rude comments to themselves, :D

[YT102008]

Thank you "tuijatrivun". I enjoyed Carrie Underwood's rendition also. I am not a very religious guy. I can not remember the last time I seen the inside of a church. I believe how one affirm their belief in God is personal. You can announce it gloriously to the world or do it in humility, and everything in between. Personally I do it humbly.

[HervorandWeyland]

@YT102008

What you are hearing is not a weak voice, it is good voice control. The softer you sing, the harder it is to do.

Filled with admiration for a true talent : )

[YT102008]

@HervorandWeyland: "A weak voice" was not my description of this beautiful singer's voice, that description was made by "wb1" and the reason for my comments. Two-years ago is long time and I'm happy to see the support my comments received. I agree with you, Eddi is a true talent and she "fills me with admiration" : ).

[nailspluscross]

wow...it a matter of choice my friend....I love both version...

[joannab1979]

Wow! What a truly beautiful voice and such a lovely hymn.

[mrsschneebly]

Beautiful - her voice is stunning.

[Bugndad]

thank you . I especially enjoyed this song I shall listen to you more

Bruce

[clingan123]

To be honest Carrie Underwood Sings with better

[hannahxowants]

Played at my grandpa's funeral, it was his favorite song. It's like the most painful yet amazing song to listen to

[bushtuker]

Voice of an Angel

[williamarose]

Beautiful song, beautiful voice

[JCdaMAN741]

Awesome Voice, weird hand movements!

[tuijatrivun]

Thank you for this, it reminds me of my aunt who passed away back in '97, but i know she's in a better place, miss you Tuula, xoxo

[halligalli727]

Wunderbar,vielen dank dafür!

[Foxyon55]

shear bliss xx

[scottishdwarf666]

Eddi's voice is gorgeous, perfect song for her voice!!

[gbwb606]

a truly moving song best version yet

[bethanyeldm]

Your voice is angelic...but more beautiful if you wear dress like singing in the church choir ...very touching

[angeleyes1969]

Only recently heard this song, it was chosen for my father's funeral. It's now one of my favourites. Eddi sings it so beautifully.

[pudzelgummidge]

I want this at my funeral-as usual, moving and beautiful vocals from eddi.

[GeHOF]

Awesome!!!

[weeweelegs]

sung straight from the heart, beautiful

[mcbumferty2]

Ah,Eddi...beautiful interpretation.

Ye're no' sae bad yersel, hen.

[pawpawbear02]

I personaly think this is by-far the best version i've ever heard, just fantastic

[ramsthepoet]

if you beleive in a particuler god

[cathyspca]

This was alright - she has a beautiful voice but her hand fluttering is distracting and it's a little fast - not really feeling her or that she is feeling this song

[Alexjhs]

Thankyou for posting this...Eddi is amazing and sings this hymn so beautifully.Fantastic!

[streetsnacks]

wow. . well that made me cry. . . she hits the notes so well. . .

[HawaiianGoth]

Beautifully Sung!! Love It!!

Bless Us All.

^_^

[morrigansolutions]

Breathtaking!

[trevortreva2008]

Eddi Ryder use to head a group called fairground attraction in the 80's - I could listen to her sing the telephone directory - I think she has one of the most smoothest and calming voices -

[Muskadash]

She sings it beautifully.

[dcy62]

I have never heard of her. She does have a pretty voice.

I think she sings it too fast though.

I like it better when it is sang with slow emotion and feeling like Dottie Rambo sang it.

This is my favorite hymn of all time and I cannot sing it without crying for our God is so great!! Praise the Lord!!!

[abbaboyoboy]

She always was a phanominal singer, and when she did this song and so good, she became, a truely blessed artist.

[snapespants]

ahhh how lovely, this is my favourite hymn and my favourite singer, perfect

[toneman221]

If this doesn't make a believer out of you...

[Susq15]

I just never would have pegged her for a hymn singer. It's lovely, though.

[TheCornishWarrior]

Eddi truly has the voice of an angel.

This is not my favourite version of this great hymn as prefer powerful male voice covering it, however Eddi could sing a shopping list to me and i'd be in awe of her voice.

Eddi Reader is a songstress few can match and in my humble opinion none can beat.

[GothicTeeki]

Also beautiful from Elvis Presley

[glapir]

I have my doubts about the greatness of god, but there is no doubt about this voice... how great it is.
