i ask people to do this song so i can hear how they handle the good part in the end. your take on "the good part" (4:00) is so unique and wonderful. best on youtube! i wish the whole song was the good part. ....you know what has a good part, that i bet you would nail. you light up my life! :)
...really wonderful....i also love Linda Ronstadt from the bottom of my heart...but what you just succeeded was just awesome marvellous, pure and inspiring.
Very good, your voice is crisp and clean. Need a little more self confidence. Still I enjoyed your version and hope to see you do something else. A voice like yours should be heard. Thank you for sharing :)
Not since Linda Ronstadt's own recording of this classic do I think I have heard a prettier rendition of this song -- carried just by your emotive vocals and a lone guitar. You are a rising star indeed. Major kudos for a great cover!
Que linda voz....!!!, que linda cancion..., una letra que es un poema desgarrador para el alma...!!! Que buen manejo de la iluminacion, colores y escena. Te felicito....!!!
Incredibly beautiful. I'm very impressed, and I'm glad I stumbled uon this video. Your guitar has a nice tone, what kind is it? (I don't play guitar myself, BTW.) Anyway,I think you have a lovely, expressive voice ... best of luck to you!
Great voice! Your to good. There is no room for real talent right now. If you could just get a televised drug problem or kill some one...... or thing, then.....we might be able to help. Till then sorry.
I am speechless. A beautiful woman with a beautiful voice and plays the guitar as well. So uncommon these days. Most women are just plain and frumpy. Linda's music will live forever in the hearts of those that love her music. Bless you Risnstr for doing this song for the fans of Linda Ronstadt.
What an excellent rendition of this song Whitney! :) Guitar, Vocal, and everything :) Even though finger movements were obscured here's a great TRIVIA QUESTION: What Key does Whitney sing "Long Long Time" in? ANSWER: The Key of A.
All Whitney's finger chording look like the chords you find in the Key of G, However , she has a Capo on the 2nd fret. The Capo modulates everything 2 steps up to the Key of A. She has a beautiful voice singing this song in the Key of A :_
Hi Whitney! I found this video while searching for Linda Ronstadt videos. Linda is my favorite female artist of all time. You did a wonderful job with this song! I was blown away by your rendition. Read your lovely bio, also. Best of luck to you there in Scottsdale and wherever life takes you! God bless.
In my opinion, this is probably Linda's best recording from back in the day. A classic that simply can't be improved on after hearing the original. She had such a great singing voice that no one could do it quit as well as she did it. That said, this performance is really nice.
Very nice. I love singing this song myself. You should have heard me in the shower this morning. You DID? What? And you SAW me too? Ruddy hell? Are you spying on me or something? Oh well, I hope you enjoyed the show! I shall be bathing at 5am tomorrow, with my red rubber duck. Any particular song you'd like me to do? And do you want the duck quacking or non-quacking?
Whitney, I've come back to hear you sing this song at different times. You really really nail it! I agree with some of the previous comments, that you should consider releasing this one as a single.
I think if the song is on your latest cd you should really consider releasing it as a single . I think you would have an absolute hit single on pop,country, and adult contemporary charts with that song!!!
Whitney, you are such a lovely lady, singer & spirit! K and I are so blessed that we finally all met! Looking forward to the reception and the rest of your career!
I found this searching for and listening to Linda Ronstadt singing this song (my all-time favorite of hers)... You have an AMAZING VOICE! I loved hearing you sing this! Gorgeous! ;-) :-)
