  • would have loved to have heard her cover - the pretenders - "stand by you"

  • The master speaks.

  • Damn. I have no idea who this lady is, but dam!

  • beautiful enough said xxx

  • She`s with God....she was a wonderful human being! An extraordinary artist, full of dreams and talent....I love it!

  • Gone so fast..

  • goodthings52: Here're two more good ears to join yours. Can't wait to get to heaven to hear her sing 24-7-forever... and I won't be falling asleep.

  • I love the feeling to be surrounded by people like you and her … What a great moment this evening.

  • Nothing but cysts and zits in the sidebar.

  • @limbotoobobo the side bar is: eva, cyndi, and sting, moron... who exactly were u trying to hit from behind after listening to this beautiful rendition? does her talent honoring their creation w/a cover really stir up the smack in you?

  • All her songs are so emotional too. It's as if every time you listen to one you could just start crying at any minute.

  • One of my all time fav singers singing one of my all time fav songs.... hope your resting well eva you were someone beautiful

  • It just doesn't get any better here on earth than this lady's singing.

  • Her voice is the best remedy to get through concussion... being on my own far away from family and friends...

  • /closes her eyes,takes a deep breath,sighs then smiles. There truly are no words for music as touching as this.

  • She uses her voice as a musical instrument. The way she changes pitches is really stunning.

  • It is very beautiful....I want to cry(((....It is so sad and melancholy.

  • Such an Angel, who walked among us. !

  • Listen up Folks, be under no illusions,this Lady is the BEST acoustic/singer we have ever had the grace to hear, As a acoustic singer/ songwriter who give up being a performing juke box I am BLOWN AWAY by this women's talent. Truly Awesome!

  • @SuperMIKEFREE Yes sir you got that right!

  • Too beautiful to ever truly die.

  • Comment removed

  • I agree, can't imagine 99 people disliked this song, unless they are faithful Lauper fans who think they are being loyal to her. Hell, I'm thinking Cyndi hit the like button. She is classy like that.

  • Comment removed

  • @Tutone66 Cyndi's music arrangement might be better but Eva's voice is the best. Eva rules!!!!!!

  • It is true that God speaks to many through music and so Ms Cassidy evokes something divine when she sings.

  • @crittersspirit I agree, beautiful inside and out. She sings like an Angel here and now sings with them.

  • Can't knock people for having an opinion...but I mean, Jay-Z thought he had 99 problems? 99 people have problems with their ears, obviously.

  • I wish she'd still be here..

  • She's dead! How can she go on Britain's got talent! She is an amazing women! All of her songs are beautiful.. N if you dont like it, dont comment.. You obviously have no idea what true n pure music is r.I.p xx

  • Quite simply...WOW!!! To be blessed with such an amazing talent...to not be moved by this Lady's performances...one would have to be truly made of stone...

  • This should be the greatest solo performance of all time. Her guitar and her voice volume match with her soul and voice create an unrepeatable for anyone on this earth to copy.

  • i wish you got 13,xxx,xxx viewers....!!

    thanks so much for sharing, this is so Beautiful....!!

  • Magnificent cover. The tempo is right on. The clarity of her voice at all volumes amazes me. This is one of my all time favorite songs so this is meaningful to me. We obviously lost a very special person and performer. Very sad.

  • this is great..listening to angel voice...

  • holy shit, this is flawless!

  • Comment removed

  • just added a like!

  • always makes me cry, it's such a beautiful version

  • remember the voice of her soul . . . . . She left a beautiful thing . sorry for my poor english .

  • Lennon &MacCartney- Bob Dylan-The Eagles-Elvis Presley and whoever, this woman Eva Cassidy Blew you all away! On her own armed with only an acoustic guitar she is THE BEST acoustic/singer  LIFE HAS SEEN.

    I'm sure the above mentioned will AGREE!

  • Love was her sweet message... Hope all Hear! This is my personal favorite, but there is allways something over the rainbow......

  • Not a single word that is not embodied with soul and feeling. Her technical expertise would be enough to make her remarkable but it's the heart and beauty she brings to life that were her gift. Thank goodness recordings of her remain to be shared. I only discovered her recently. I'm 61 and I've listened to a lot of the finest female singers...jazz, folk, world music, rock.....I like to think i know the real thing when I hear it. She is a singer for every generation. Timeless.

  • This was an awsome performance!!!!

  • Rest in peace dear eva, your songs have enriched my life, through good and bad times, with friends and without friends - time after time.

  • Genius, better than the original!

  • I if u dont believe gifts are given by god and that he eventually brings the people that can truly love home to him,youare so so wrong.....

  • beautiful song!!! T.T

  • theis is good

  • I had goosebumps all the way through. Amazing, honestly makes me wonder if she was an angel.

  • all the rest is noise....

  • omg like an angel has taken my soul and thats ok with me ;)

  • How could anyone dislike this. So soulful - maybe thats why there are problems in the world. Some people just aren't in touch with their soul.

  • SVT!

  • Everything about her just seems so pure... her voice, her personality and her beauty. You have to dig deep to find pure and beautiful diamonds like her.

  • You hear her story in every line of every song she sings. Without a doubt the most beautiful voice ever to be heard. She didnt deserve to die so early, she deserved every inch of fame,every penny in riches but she wasnt around to recieve it. A real insperation,god bless you and sleep tight. x x x

  • outstanding xxxx

    

  • I dont care if others dislike this version of Eva all I know is,she is awesome..Its so sad that a good singer like her is gone already..but her music still alive....Thanks Eva Cassidy...

  • I love the original version of Cyndi Lauper's, and that doesn't decrease my love to this great performance of Eva Cassidy. In fact, I am grateful that Eva has made it possible to enjoy this song in a totally different aspect, which rarely happens as it requires much more talent than if she just followed the original path. It would be a shame to not be able to appreciate real talents by confine melodies to certain styles, and artists.

  • Linda d+ esta canção!! Beautiful")

  • God didnt give me a voice like Eva`s. He gave me something just as good. Two ears so that I am able to hear his angel.

  • @goodthing52 well said! Just discovered her today and I'm blown away.

  • I have adored her music for so long, I only wish the world knew about her and her talents, including her artwork. What a beautiful woman, I obviously didn't have the chance to know her, but would have done anything to have. I would trade all the rappers in the world for one more song by this beautiful, gifted woman who truly inspires me as an artist, and musician. Rest in peace Eva, I LOVE YOU.

  • The comment god takes the good ones, is an eye opener to McCartney, Plant, Elton, Harper, Nicks, Santana, Havens,Dylan,Young, Simon, etc,etc,etc geez the list goes on and on, but you are right alot of great, great artists have passed away way to young.

  • I'm tired of the like/dislike button I mean who gives a shit. If you dig it, write something cool! If not write something uncool whatever. Just stop commenting about that damn button!

  • I wonder if the small audience knew how lucky they were to see her live?

  • I have no words to describe this song...My best friend suggested it to me and I'm listening, listening and still listening again. Amazing song.

  • 'After your picture fades and darkness has turned to grey

    Watching through windows, I'm wondering if you're ok...

    I'll be waiting...'

    I miss You so, so much...

  • Perfection

  • heard this way back on Smallville

  • I just have to make it to heaven now. Got to hear this angel sing forever.

  • God Given talent. Amazing voice.

  • amazing just amazing her voice is beautiful!!!! haven't heard someone sing like that for a while.

  • Billion dollar baby... Love u Eva. The Lord takes the good ones early, sad to say

  • After seeing Joe Cocker at Woodstock, it was always the best live performance for me . Until now.:)

  • Eva... She was/is the best singer... Ever..

  • Meow <3 Adorable

  • Love her voice and style... so soothing. Just what I need in this troubled world. RIP

  • if there are '96 dislikes'.....????? then why the hell did they come on here and listen to it....

  • Magic!

  • Sui generis...

  • I wanted to write loads of words, after I saw so many dislikes.. but then I stopped for a sec. and thought: Eva wouldn't like this youtube "wars" of LIKES and DISLIKES. Her message was love, guys, not how sexy I am, not how cool I am, not how many singles I am gonna sell to foolish people, not "hey think about the money".. no guys, she was just doing it, coz she felt this way... if u dislike this, u probably dislike LOVE! well, if its like that, my friend, there's no hope for u anymore

  • @aandrayp Well said, I just recently found out about Eva Cassidy and was reading about her life while listening to her music. Truly a sad story of such a Beautiful Soul taken too soon

  • The best thing I like about Eva is she loved the music ...Pure raw talent but best thing she sings from the Heart and had the passion am just so sorry she had to go so young x x

  • @aandrayp no offence but who cares about the dislikes, let the haters hate, when she sang this she was in the moment and every time i listen to it so am i, nicely done eva

  • @aandrayp - I totally agree with you. Eva is one of very few genuinely talented artists. It is sad that it took the world soooooo long to discover her. I long every song she sang, in happy or sad times.

  • @unnimama Yes, a wonderful talent. So sad she left us too soon, but we have the great privilege of still hearing her voice..........

  • @aandrayp

    gj hon

  • @aandrayp outstanding lyrics taken to another level by the voice of an angel x

  • feels like an embrace...

  • What a beautiful song!

  • Overwhelmed by her voice. Amazing. No words can describe this so Ill stop trying

  • an unbelievable mix of soul, phrasing and pitch control....amazing! Only a very rare few could pull this off

  • i'm wondering if your ok

  • 96 dislikes wtf???

  • @MilkShakeMama2010 they all thought the dislike button was where they needed to click to find out who their daddy is and if he's going to pay the alimony after all...easy mistake to make...

  • Comment removed

  • I think her voice is timeless.

  • If you never believed in Angels, YOU DO NOW!

  • I don't think anyone in the world would fall asleep listening to that! Perfection.

  • Cuộc đời là 1 chuỗi dài niềm tin dằn vặt nhau ngất và tỉnh .!!!

  • 96 people are obviously DEAF.

  • Well that seals it for me...there is a God

  • most beautiful version, ive ever heard of this song

    

  • WHO DISLIKES THIS?????????????? o.O

  • Whoever's listened to Eva's version, will never ever think of Cyndi Lauper again. Beautiful.

  • This is lovely, wonderful

  • Eva Cassidy had a special gift. She left us so soon, but thankfully she left us some of her music. God bless you Eva Cassidy! I know I'm not long for this world (heart problems) hope to meet you soon.

  • can anyone name me a finer vocalist ever ?????

  • @lordbyron46 try julie fowlis not saying shes better but an equal shes a scots gealic singer and sings with the same feeling and emotion the only to singers to bring a tear to my eyes

  • WTF get a life people....I am a guy and this makes me think about my life, mother who past away.....she was the best.....she is the best

  • God, how I adore this woman's music.

  • This lady is the Queen of acoustic singer/song vocalist, no one on the planet earth does it as good.

    This video proves it. Eva Cassidy is an Angel.

  • 92 people has no time..

  • A timeless cover version. I've added this to my FB group dedicated to covers. It's called "the Guilty Pleasure of the Cover Version" feel free to join in.

  • wonderful! :)

  • Salvation!

  • @jewel1260 I have to agree, soooo many times, less, is more. Most songs are written by 1 person, alone on 1 instrument. Maybe thats why eva's music hits the spot. It returns the song back to that office/bedroom/back of a van roots. Or maybe ive had enough Guinness lol.

  • This is beautiful! I love to listen to Cyndi Lauper and even Phil Collin's version but I have to say that I loved the way Eva Cassidy sang this and the way she played it on the guitar. It touched my heart.

  • this is awesome

    

  • Must admit Smallville brought me here :3

  • @flobudi It didn´t bring me here this time but it did the first time i heard the song :) That was in smallville :) love the song and love smallville :)

  • Just breathtaking.............haunt­ing. Such talent. Eva, you are missed.

  • Just sublime!

    

  • THX

    Cimberlyengel

  • This is just wonderful! I am so sad that such a beautiful and talented girl should have her entire life taken from her at such a tender and wonderful age! The best years of ones life!

  • I love these songs! Sung by Eva Cassidy takes me to a higher plain!

  • This is soooooooo much better then the original and I like the original! She was amazing

  • @jmthabest1 YES I HAVE TO AGREE I'M A BIG CYNDI LAUPER FAN BUT WHEN I HEARD THIS I JUST WENT WOW THIS IS JUST SO SOFT LOVE IT LOVE IT, I SING THIS TO MY KIDS AND HUSBAND..

  • 15 years on, RIP <3

  • Her voice makes me cry every time. Beautiful.

  • The best I ever listen

  • thats what i call a god given voice...

  • Where talent and beauty meet. Absolutely amazing. 10/10.

  • Xxx

  • who the hell has disliked this? .. probably listening to chart music 2011. think everybody's forgotten what music is really about.. i'm 19 and when i listen to this woman, i feel so much compassion

  • @Jodie2223 Oh hush you. I listen to music that charts in 2011 and adore this woman.

    Just enjoy the song. Someone's dislike on youtube isn't going to change anything. It's not going to stop Eva Cassidy from being brilliant or having a lovely and (imo) perfect voice. It's not going to make my hairs stop standing from her cover of this classic.

    Tired of people paying mind to the likes/dislikes. They're so meaningless. Get over it.

  • well.. Heaven got one of it's angels back.. that's for sure..

  • WOW. People don't sound this good live, with just a guitar. They just don't. I am blown away.

  • @AccioHHr I agree. It´s amazing. Just perfect.

  • very talented lady.x

  • "If you're lost you can look--and you will find me

    Time after time

    If you fall I will catch you--I'll be waiting

    Time after time." Definition of loyalty.

  • I knew this song and liked it but Now I love this version!!

  • I could fall asleep to this but not in a bad way...

  • My wife walked down the aisle to this song. Very beautiful. Always takes me back to my wedding day

  • She was fantastic. I love Eva,s voice There is a Dutch girl named Celine Cairo who sings like the girl I will never forget

  • there's something about that voice n the lyrics.

  • Wow I love you Eva as always brilliant

  • Unique!!!

  • lovely song and its live no studio effects

  • u gotta give it to her she is deceased, and thumbs up if u actually cried hearing this song?

  • sincere voice & oh so beautiful .. hope she is waiting on the other side .. & shows me the ropes
