Ellie Goulding - "Your song" (Saturday Night Live)

[bulldoghala]

26 people out of millions don't like it. Not bad!

[aleiahcation]

I luv 3:28

[abigiggle98]

OMFG how much do i want ellie to sing this song with janet devlin if she goes through to the finals!!! :O

[nikkijaneallison]

I think Ellie Goulding is the daughter of Drew Barrymore and Sarah Jessica Parker.

[Luvstospwgeonme]

@nikkijaneallison Euuww no! She way hotter than both of them combined

[Jennexification]

Amazing singing and an amazing cover. That aside, she looks like Christina Aguilera here.

[bristolcityifcation]

i reckon this is a better version than OLD WIG HEAD ELTON !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[justsomecoolstuff]

She's sooo amazing! Even when she covers, she always makes a delightful job

[vartanfan87]

Am I the only one who watched this in hopes of seeing Ben Lovett of Mumford & Sons make an appearance as her piano player?

[machocamach016]

@swiftietay99 you're kidding right? Taylor sucks. She cant even sing live. She's just popular. Ellie is amazing and so much better than Taylor.

[eaglescheer123]

UGHHH!!!! THIS IS FREKIN AMAZING!

[MsFizzyPants]

She sings it beautifully and makes it her own

[slappntickle]

Wow that was one of the most suttally powerful performances I have seen. 2:47 made me shed a tear and I don't even really know why.

[biziketebex]

Simply BEAUTIFUL..............!!!!!

[arantzabg]

Oh my god. I love her.

[swiftietay99]

She's not better than Taylor swift but she's good! :)

[loveasare]

she song it better than Elton...I like this version.

[JamieOwen05]

i love you ellie

[david10006]

weird...watching this for the first time on SNL i was wondering who she was and kind of annoyed at the way she was singing, not sure why, her accent or something maybe? anyway..a few days later for some reason, i had to hear it again and looked it up. now i seriously love it and can't stop listing to it. jeez, color me impressed..!!

[xNoobixCubex]

she's incredibly hot. <3

[david10006]

@xNoobixCubex  agreed 100%..!

[SignorErnesto]

Ellie's voice is so sweet. I love it!!

[klhall93]

I love this song Ellie Goulding does it so well. It'd be great if some of you could have a look at my version of this :)

[GaribaldiGuy]

She brought this song to live and made it her own. Loved it!

[motorcross88]

She has a beautiful face and voice. I really love her singing live and in the studio. <3

[AbigailAndI]

chills every time at the bridge

[XxMore2LifexX]

aaaaaawwwww that was awesome...... REPLAY! :D

[rantmachine123]

if u want to see a even better version of this song watch janet devlins version

[usuraa]

Watch " Sylvia with your song " much better

[Youngt343]

I can't stop watching this girl she's fricken amazing!!

[kelceejofarra]

omg. If I even thought about wearing those heels my ankles would instantly break. They are cute though. Her singing is amazing as well.

[CloggedLacrimalGland]

She looks a bit like Cyndi Lauper, don't you think?

[peiix91]

@CloggedLacrimalGland No, I don't think so.

[TheSUPALOOP]

what a breath of fresh air

[allaboutyou14]

everything is ellie and nothing hurts

[drjeep1959]

I fell in love with her singing!!!!!!!

[chicloso2]

love the vibrato in her voice.

[usuraa]

Sylvia much better than this

[stickit46]

oohhh pianist made a mistake near the start haha

[joannashea]

Will ALWAYS love this song! The words just have so much meaning!

[PusStephen]

Sounds like she's whispering wtf. Janet devlin sings this wayyyy better

[craymondcdr]

@PusStephen

I didn't know what you were talking about until I heard her UK X factor cover. It was beautiful and nearly made this man cry

[bichru]

she reminds me of cyndi lauper so so much. the voice, the looks, the performance. wish all the best ellie!

[Stephjackson10]

such a straaange voice but interesting..

[farmgirlize]

What a beautiful song and ellie sings it sooo well :') xxx

[narwhalinmyloft]

im love her... i always listen to this song when im sad, and it makes me sooooo much happier:) thank you so much ellie

[FearxJustin]

Why is anyone comparing her to anyone else? No one is the same. No one is better than anyone else.

[EzraZarazua]

♥LOVE♥ THIS ONE!

[MrMargaretti]

she's really good, but honestly, adele is untouchable.

[Lorellye94]

@MrMargaretti agreed :)

[Aehiya]

my gorgeous! beautiful performance

[Jeeevika]

beautiful, I love Ellie from now on :))))

[ikkitwins1]

what a beautiful version of Eltons song

[adelaides68]

dont get it...why all the weird facial expressions and strangled noises....why not just sing the song and leave the interpretation theatrics out.....trying just a wee bit too hard to be alternative and looking ridiculous in the process,

[xoshaver16ox]

JANET DEVLIN!!!!! Watch her audition for xfactor! It is so beautiful!

[ikkitwins1]

@xoshaver16ox exactly!

[jaynerrrrrrrify]

GOULDING not GOLDING. good job tina

[hermounts]

is she wearing hearing aids?

[freeBITCH0]

@hermounts they aren't hearing aids, their like headphones, they block out noise the artist wouldn't want to hear, and allow them to hear themselves singing.

[LadyIsisXIX]

it's actually quite funny how SO many people don't understand the point of covering a song. It could be a song she likes, maybe she admires Elton John as an artist, maybe the words have meaning to her. It most likely wasn't done to out-do Elton's original...lol. And really, is there a point in covering a song if it's just a copy of the original?

[jamesehammons]

Great song no matter who performs it everyone who dislikes this song can f*** off.

[TheSpecialUnicorn]

I makes me mad when people are like, she's a great song writer, i mean the words to this are beautiful...

[stuckinamoment15]

@TheSpecialUnicorn elton john ftw

[Studentscumbag]

@anzax33 you sound like an inbred prick. It's a cover, get over it!

[masterpiggy5]

Stirring performance. Great song. Talented performer. Excellent cellist. Just a great arrangement of a classic song

[ulunited]

My one celebrity crush introduces my other.

[RocknRollisTheAnswer]

Sorry meant Britain not British Sam Harvey. 1015

[RocknRollisTheAnswer]

Sam Harvey 1015 jimi got his start in British dumbass that's where he started jimi Hendrix experience!!!!!!

[GillianReyn]

Shes not trying to be better than Elton John.. geez calm down. Shes covering a song and its a good cover. Everyone covers other artists songs it's ment to be took as a compliment and tribute that they like the song enough to cover it now grow up and calm it with the "SHE'LL NEVER BE AS GREAT AS ELTON!!!!" ok, maybe not but shes clearly not trying to be him -.-

[hellowind123]

at 2:18 her mouth is open widely but anyway i know how devoted to music she is !!!love her

[junior33700]

she seems like a sweetie to me! i bet she admires elton & it was an honor to sing his song!!! she is very talanted!

[RocknRollisTheAnswer]

Wait what the hell!!! The description says best British singer no she wishes she was!!!! She sucks how can you say she's better than Paul McCartney Robert plant jimi hendrix Roger daughtry Mick Jagger!!! You people need to learn that rock n roll is the best 50s 60s and 70s is where it's at not hasn't hit puberty beiber or Kesha !!!!!!!!

[SamHarvey1515]

@RocknRollisTheAnswer Dude, Jimi Hendrix is American. He was born in Seattle, Washington State. If you're going to insult someone, do it right next time

[RocknRollisTheAnswer]

First of all if your gonna cover it do it well!!! Second how can you people say voice of an angel? She sucks! Elton is a once in a lifetime musician and she screws the song up! Sorry I'm not Trollin but pay some respect to the man and cover the song well!!!!

[SlaineBee]

@RocknRollisTheAnswer well.........to her, im sure your opinion doesn't matter considering Elton himself congratulated her on a 'wonderful cover' :)

[Sup3rMegaNerd]

@RocknRollisTheAnswer We all have different opinions and tastes.

To some people ellies voice is angelic, to some it's annoying. However fact is Ellie can sing, there's no opinion or taste about that.

[wolfspider8665]

Aw Mi God that little cute smile at the end.

The voice of angel....

[l2dopel]

how can u dislike this??

[YAYOnePiece]

both songs are equally amazing, just different styles, don't hate on her OR Elton John

[KayceeSparks]

Haters, get real. Why is it so horrible or shocking for a really talented musician to cover a song!? - Her version is different but still a really great, respectful sound. She has so much emotion and vulnerability in her voice, it's really amazing to hear. <3 and Elton would be disgraced at you all.

[evergreach2346]

People saying she ruined Elton John's song, you're wrong. People saying that she sang it better than Elton John, you're also wrong. God forbid we respect originals and covers both instead of trying to constantly compare them. If you seriously need to rate music, interpretations or genres as being better than others, than you don't understand music, and you probably never will.

[Super4188]

@evergreach2346 Ellie is Okay. Janet Devlin is better. 

[crazyabby16]

@Super4188 no. you're wrong, ellie's better, janets okay. no one compares to ellie.

[Sylinic]

@evergreach2346 Fucking beautiful, I love you.

[mikkelme]

@evergreach2346 then*

[bristolcityifcation]

@evergreach2346 DONT BE SO FUCKING PRETENTIOUS !!! WHO REALLY GIVES A FUCK IN THE BIG SCHEME OF THINGS WHOSE VERSION IS BETTER !!

[Mar10ezz]

@evergreach2346 I don't agree with you. I respect both versions, but people just like one version more than the other. People just prefer a certain voice over another, and there's nothing wrong with that. But I do think it's kinda annoying that people start dramatic fights under every cover about wich one is better.

[deathguy167]

@evergreach2346 The least she's doing is making Elton John's song live on!

[anzax33]

She shouldn't have ruined Eltons amazing song

[allisonxm102]

@anzax33 ..how did this ruin it? You can still go listen to Elton's version of it. Her singing this has no effect on Elton's song.

[LateralOPG]

@anzax33 youre a massive twat... you sound like a two year old. 'i dont like it and thats that cos im a kiddy and cant make a valid, well thought out arguement.' twat.c

[anzax33]

I don't like her voice, its annoying and so shakey.

[madisonzacc]

Beautiful voice! She Deserves to be on SNL, unlike some others. *Cough* Miley Cyrus *Cough*

[Gabriellaella23]

lol When I first watched this on TV I wasn't expecting the picture to move. XD

[rosieaedo]

Shes good... But this song means nothing to me when she sings it... Theres no feeling behind it

[Spartan8960]

She just lost her voice a little.

[EvolMerMae]

her voice is so raspy...i wonder if shes a smoker?

[Sup3rMegaNerd]

@EvolMerMae No she was sick during this performance, but she still managed to hit the notes correctly so i guess she took a risk.

[jumpsmcgee]

extremely talented but nobody beats sir elton john



[JW7467]

AMAZING KICKS ELTON JOHNS ASS

[DannyMaxxen]

After I watch the actual vid I always watch this next because it sounds exactly alike I LOVE THIS SONG ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL SONGS EVER THANK YOU ELTON JOHN BUT SORRY ELLIE GOULDING IS BETTER

[cellardoorstop]

What a shimmering voice

[cellardoorstop]

I could sorta take this song or leave it ... until she sang it

[cellardoorstop]

My eyes well up

[pollinek]

I like the way she sings 'everybody' ;P

[13ip0lar]

I seen this and was immediately hooked. This girl is so great live, and has a great raspy quality to her voice. Love her so much. <3

[Orcsmashurbelf]

shes so much better live holy shit..the studio version sucks imo

[justinaehill]

2:50-3:30 instant chills(:



[code2789]

why does this sound so different then all of her studio stuff?

[kellzbellz98]

14 people don't have ears

[TheHRJR]

She needs some more promo here in the US!

[lespaulem]

Ah, that smile @0:16

[BluejayJones]

I saw this episode and this was my fave part.

[get1modernwarfare2]

}{-D that "maddissoonn" guy is such a dick. I love this version more than the original

[golferknip11]

I am so happy that istumbled across this or i would be another american who has been deprived of another amazing british singer!

[sinatrafixi]

She is so adorable and talented.

I love Tinaa

[normajeantbs]

Love everything about Ellie!! Her running campaign with Nike ias pretty cool too

[MyForgiveness]

its so nice to see someone that can actually sing nowadays :( without all the stupid edits.. YOU GO ELLIE!

[123longlive]

in the beginning her makeup makes her look like christina aguilera... but she does NOT sound like her! too much depth to her voice to compare :)

[MaddiissoonnNewwbbyy]

omg its really annoying me...i dont no what it is but i HATE her

[joeprkr0]

@MaddiissoonnNewwbbyy i think it would be best if you left...

[MadeFourYou]

@MaddiissoonnNewwbbyy omg i can tell you what it is. you see the confidence she has in herself that you are lacking in yourself, a.k.a. envy

[rodermck]

Wow!!. Awesome!!!.. soooo!!,, wonderfullt talended!!.. was blown away by her performance

[MissAlexa423]

She is amazing! I hope she makes it far in America!!! -3

[nilkes]

Apparently 11 people think this isn't their song.

[renethel]

I recall a journalist that described her cover as "chilling"...I have to agree. :)

Love Ellie. <3

[kiabnomiddlehawj]

that is true talent. no lip synching and stuff. she gives me chills for having such a natural talent for singing like that.

[Demzie98]

Those 10 people who disliked BOOOOO YOOOOU FUCKERS

[Demzie98]

I Am a massive fan of Ellie Goulding i have her album but she sounded a little bit nervous

[WizOfStars]

Not one of my favorite songs by a long shot, but this interpretation almost makes me change my mind. I like this lady!

[dummylu]

@WizOfStars Ditto

[burtonboards10]

Bangtidy bird eh?

[harnessbells]

fantastic, really, really

[katiebearpink]

She's so smiley!

[dafana]

I love Ellie's version of this song...she has such a unique voice & really makes it her own.

[xgm4life]

Wow ....beautiful

[wylany1]

What i really like is to watch and listen her whole song and then see how modest she is.

[RENThead12]

aww she looks so proud at the end. rightfully so!

[StewNWT]

def a bit disappoint she chose to do a cover for her SNL performance - not that it's a bad cover I just think it'd make more sense to use her own material.

Plus I think her performance of Starry Eyed on Kimmel was better.

I would love to see her do This Love Will Be Your Downfall

[andydwyer1979]

@StewNWT If you watched the SNL show you'de have seen her perfom her song Lights first, which she did amazingly! when you do SNL you get to do 2 songs. Cheers. Andy

[StewNWT]

@andydwyer1979 lol yes I know that ;) I saw both and I thought her performance of lights was pretty weak. she's like Imogen Heap, tends to be pretty bad and rough/raw live. no power to her voice

[MrArronCompton]

Such a small, delicate, and absolutely beautiful voice. There is a calculated intimacy to her vocals and I can't get enough of it.

[mclalaskans]

@MrArronCompton Oh my goodness, I feel exactly the same way. You have a great musical/vocal persepctive and I applaud you for being able to put it in writing. :)

[harnessbells]

Wow, really nice. The reversed lines, at 2' 40" The cello adds much, visually and melodically. I really like this. I love the refrain towards the end.

[ulunited]

@VistaBoner hey troll... go fuck yourself

[cookiemonster7392]

does she have a sore throat?

[miri1982juanjo]

Me encanta....!!!

[INEEDGRAVY]

I LOVE THIS. Fantastic job, Ellie :)

[SuperFavabeans]

amazingggg

[aejb4231]

she sounds ok but does she have a sore throat? also they are rubbish lyrics!

[chickengeorge69]

@aejb4231 Someone who loves McFly songs complaining that one of the most famous songs ever written has rubbish lyrics. When you write something better be sure to let us know.

[aejb4231]

@chickengeorge69 yes, people can have opinions, didnt you know that? my opinion is that these lyrics arent the best and mcfly are awesome, you might have another opinion and i respect that, but just get it into your head that people can like things that you dislike and dislike things that you like! get over it!

[chickengeorge69]

@aejb4231 Good effort. Use the old 'people can have opinions' line. However, I have no respect for your decision to determine McFly as awesome.

[aejb4231]

@chickengeorge69 people do have opinions though! and if you cant see that i have one and you have another you must be blind and stupid! i dont care if you think this answer is pathetic and im just trying to win a pointless argument with a pointless person who i have never met and if you do think its pathetic, get over it, its just how i feel and leave me alone to live my life loving mcfly and you can live yours trying to get everyone to think your opinion on life is perfect! it's simple as that!

[MoonsMystress]

She's very good, but Elton John's original cannot be touched...

[Nelson05389]

This brings tears to my eyes every time... BEAUTIFUL!

[FantasticlyFantastic]

i was like "GAH" when she did this song because i automaticly thought of moulin rouge which is like one of my ultimate fav movies. so yeah, i kinda freaked out :)

[xElectricFlowerx]

@FantasticlyFantastic Ewan McGregor sings this song sooo perfectly!

[wolfspider8665]

Wow, I hates Elton John, but Ellie's version made the hair on the back of my neck stand up! Wow, beautiful, cheers, amazing!

[val7117]

Oh Ellie, she looks like she's holding on to that microphone for dear life! She's been in the U.S. for months working her butt off, and it might be the reason why her voice kind of sounds a bit strained to me, or it could just be nerves. I would be nervous if i had to perform on SNL for the first time too. Who wouldn't be? It's massive exposure. I wish her the best...America is hard to win over because these younger generations don't seem to know what real talent is. Dubstep? pfft :/

[pinkrahat]

@val7117 umm... younger generation knows real talent,im a 14 year old girl,and i love her music,im not american doe :P but sorry for disturbing if u were reffering 2 even younger generations den mine :D

[stebin]

@val7117 dubstep is european.

[JumpDreamer]

PAUSE AT 2.17 FUNNY AS HELL!!
