  • The song still beautyfull in 2012

  • Bit breathy but really good tuning ^^

  • wow, can I marry you?

  • Beautiful rendition,beautiful vocalist!

  • You look and sound very lovely - wonderful first song!

  • Ok, angel Holly, show us your wings. Stop hiding them.

  • A Celtic Princess... I just love your voice!

    Visite Portugal!

  • Excellent! :)

  • Holly you have one of the purest most moving and melodic voies i have ever heard. I cannot believe you hav'nt got a major recording contract! simply the best cover of this song i have heard ever keep doig what you are doing PLEASE!!!

  • Lovely cover ! I love this song !

    I have this song in my favorites by two other artists

    because I couldn't decide which I liked better.

    Now,... I really only need one. Just lovely ! :-))))

    Okay, sing it again.(tapping my foot, arms crossed)

    ....oh yeah, I just click that little thingie there. My bad.

  • yours is a voice to fall in love with,i lost my future wife 2 weeks before our wedding and i cant stop crying everytime i hear this song

  • That was so beautiful x and just so clean without backing

  • what are you -- A WEATHER GIRL!!??

  • The echo is fine.. gives it more of a haunting feel... What else do you have young lady? :)

  • That's the 10th version of this song I've listed to in a row - and the best , IMO. (Yes, even better than Loreena McKennitt & Mary Black). It made me cry! Well done Holly, I hope you go far in your singing career!

  • Nicely done!

  • Beautiful, emotional rendition of this lovely song. Thank you.

  • Hi Holly,

    You sign it well. It looks like you were communicating with whoever was recording you, don't know but your facial expressions and eyes were not congruent with the song.

    Thanks for signing a beautiful song with a beautiful face.

    Rory

  • Holly, I am a classical guitarist, and I have been playing along to your exquisite singing. You really capture the gentle spirit of this beautiful song. I have been freshly inspired to work on a new arrangement for it by your lovely singing. Thank you so much for posting this, and may God bless you . John S

  • luvly

  • Très belle voix !

    Apport intéressant avec l'écho en fond !

    Beautiful and thank you for posting !

  • Beautiful singing!

  • The way to truly tell how good a singing voice one has is to sing without instruments..nothing to distract or hide behind...you have a fine, natural singing voice...

  • Well sung, you have a great voice for traditional folk music. I liked the reverb effect personally.

    I'm singing this song at my mum's wedding this week and this version has given me some pointers - so thanks! :)

  • lol she's a fairy great song well sung kaity o' hara

  • I think its beautiful and its actually my favourite rendition

  • As expert as you might think you are moltentigerwhatsit, some of us actually like the reverb. I think it is rather sweet that Eyeamwatchingyounow came to Holly's defence. Happy New Year :-)

  • @ProudBigSister Agreed. The reverb sounds great. It's not metallic at all. Sounds like singing in a large stone hall. (although the noise-gate is a little off putting :-p but that could just be the audio compression)

  • @seenherdressedinblue - Have you listened to Holly's new cover of Evening Falls by Enya? It's really enchanting :-)

  • @ProudBigSister Just listened now. Lovely!

  • I never said I was an expert, just that I personally didn't like it. I never said she was horrible and should GTFO the internet, which she obviously isn't and shouldn't. I'm just saying from a professional level, reverb like that is a big no-no.

    The entire point of putting something on the internet is so that other people can view it, be it porn or music. And people usually form an opinion when they see something, and those that know a bit about the subject sometimes share their opinions.

  • Too much reverb. x-x The metallic-tone that comes after your singing totally grates the nerves and ruins the song, if you ask. You should have done it purely acapella and not added that annoying tone in the background. It hurts the ears and takes away from the fact that you're a very good singer.

  • oh dear - yet another self appointed Simon Cowell! They are coming out of the woodwork these days-and always with no obvious talent of their own, but loads of 'good advice' !!

  • Hoi, fuck off, whiteknightfag. It's called criticism, and I'm a musician myself so you can't pin me with the 'you can't say _____ because you're not ____'. I've played music for eleven years of my life and have done plenty of solos with my instrument. I've had that exact same problem with my recordings for music class. Just because I don't share my shit with you doesn't mean i don't do it.

    Chick's not going to sleep with you for defending herself from the self-appointed Simon Cowells.

  • I totally agree with you - constructive criticism is good and nothing is wrong with your first comment in the way of advice at all!

    However, it is not what you say that is the problem here but the way you say it!

    You obviously have a problem with attitude which changes the comment from constructive crit to arrogance and rudeness - proved by your second comment.

  • Or maybe you're just highly annoying. I wasn't even saying anything wrong about her voice, which I praised at the end of my comment. I will be the first to admit I sing like a frog gargling an entire onion, but I was commenting purely on the lasting reverb thing which honestly did hurt my ears. I had to turn off the video, no matter how nice it was.

    And besides, you're the one who started with the rudeness, whiteknightfag. I'm just calling it as it is.

  • "A frog gargling an entire onion"...

    That comment made my evening. XD

    Yeah, I agree with what you said. The reverb is pretty painful, but her voice is lovely.

  • brill you can tastethe melonchley

  • Great job! Beautiful voice!!

  • O my God Holly, your voice is opium for the soul.

    Hartmut

  • The most beautiful and gentle girl of all Great Britain!!!!! Gallant!!!! 55555!

  • Wait... you're only 18?!? I would have guessed 25 maybe. Not uncomplimentary, you have a mature voice.

  • 10 times to be preferred over O'Connor's hoarse and overdone version in my opinion....

    My all time favorite rendition is by the great Jeremy Brett- look up "Jeremy Brett and Twiggy" on youtube and listen to the first selection. Really good job though- I like the attention to the words, that seems so basic and obvious for a singer but some just don't do it!!

  • Love it! I liked Fergal Sharkey's version but you blow me away. The background looks like the woods at Dorren near Knockvicar where I lived in Ireland.

  • Nice :-)

    A bit heavy on the reverb?

    Bill xxx

  • Very nice! Althogh there are lots of Versions of this sog on you tube I can´t get enough of it - think I´m fallen for it. :)

    Why does nobody ings the third verse by the way?

  • great job Holly, love your version!!

  • Love this song. There are so many on youtube doing this song from Charlotte Church to Sinead O'connor to Haley Westernra. You are their equal, Holly, not to mention you are the prettiest by far.

    Right, talk about my singing not my looks. If you think that, you are not using all of your god-given attributes.

  • A perfect voice for a perfect piece of music you sang so beautifully.

    Personally... i enjoyed the echo chamber which i thought worked well & to the advantage on this piece of music. You have a wonderful voice Holly... just do it your way, you are doing GREAT! we all love you!...x

  • A Beautiful song, I could watch this video over and over. It is Angelic, your voice is magnetic and you breath taking "beautiful"

    Your success is assured.

  • You have a haunting voice which brings tears to my eyes.

    Please can you sing MY IMMORTAL by evanescence.

    You have a really great voice.

  • your good, this song reminds me of lord of the rings, i dont know why! Anyway, I love this kind of music, and your voice was very relaxing, I enjoyed listening to it. Keep it up!

  • You sing it beautifully- tho' I'd like to hear little more of the voice and less of the echo chamber. One of the best songs ever written.

  • Thankyou for your lovely comment Richard :-)

    I'm still learning how to do everything for my videos, so they aren't always perfect - haha! - sorry about the reverb :-)

    Best Wishes

  • Now, what you need is the backing that Meav had when she performed this as part of Celtic Woman, and it'd be perfect. :p

    But it's amazing even without. ^.^

  • ok? OK??? Yer kidding, it is completely gorgeous. It is better than Enya. And I mean that. You have that whole Irish/Cletic thing down to gorgeous perfection. You could do an album right now of traditional a capella songs like this and...well, I'd love it!

  • Hello again Ph.. :-)

    Haha! Thank you for your brilliant comment!

    I love traditional songs and this is really lovely. I couldn't decide at first whether to do it with or without music, so I asked my family and they said they thought this one was a nice change for me :-) I'm glad you like it, but I hope Enya doesn't see the top line of your comment :-) What a compliment! Thankyou again

  • Hollyyyyyyyy :)

    Yes pj is right, Art Garfunkel sings this too, and well he is one of my favorite MALE voices, and youre one of my favorite FEMALE voices.

    Hrm. Shame i cant combine both versions.

  • Hiya Sebastiannnnnnnnn :-) Lovely to see you again!

    Haha! do you think we could persuade Art to do a collaboration??? That would be so cooooooool!! :-)

    Bye for now

    Hollyyyyyyyyy :-)

  • Oh id LOVE to hear that indeeeeed! I think that would be a literal ear-gasm. ^^

  • yeah. Doesn't she phrase every word and note perfectly, just like Art? When Art sings, you just know he has spent hours and hours testing and trying every nuance until he comes up with the perfect performance. Holly might also do this - though I think it just may come to her naturally. Only Holly knows...

  • your voice is just breathe taking it like hypnotize's me when i hear it

  • Wow! What a great comment morr - thankyou very much :-)

    Take care

    Hollyx
