avril can sing sarah song's easily but i don't know if sarah can sing avril songs like what the hell , when you're gone among others. i just can't imagine if she can hit the high notes and maintain high the energy like avril does with her song
u can not say avril is better ... they are completly different voices ... sarah is more classically trained ... avril is more raw. I love this song ... its given me more respect for avril.
I have to say, after reading a lot these comments....Sarah is my favorite musician, so as far as her songs go, no one will approach her in delivery for me. But, I do love listening to Avrils Control Room version. I don't think Avril has the "greatest" voice, but I still enjoy it. It's two different things.
Avril looks like she's singing into one of those toy echo microphones.
Personally, I think that Sarah's mature/expressive voice and Avril's young voice together sounds like a mother and daughter duet. I don't perfer this version to the original, but this mother/daughter version speaks to me much more.
I honestly think that Sarah had to save the show when she came back in because she felt like she lost the crowd when avril took over. Shes cute, and that about does it
That reminds me on Jewel and Jessica Simpson duet - Who will save your soul - like Jessica, Avril never should have attempted something as emotional as this, it's just not her...
i'm possibily the biggest avril lavigne fan ever <3 but unfortunately i have to conquer with the other lads there, avril's a bit weak here. But when she's doin the live version at Roxy Theatre she is just amazing. Oh Avril how could u not be a delight. =)
When Sara comes in, it just shows how absolutely WEAK Avril is. She never should have attempted something as emotional and personal as this; she turns it into a comical nasaly whine. So, so sad.
Aww I actually think she did a good job until she went into that squeaky voice she does! But yeah....not a good idea to sing it with Sarah, cos she puts her to shame! Lol
There are some songs that should not even attempt to be covered by anyone else, this is one of them. The long high pitched notes should only be attempted by those like Sarah who can do them perfectly.
Avril who out do Sarah on a few levels is a few km's away when it comes to vocal range. I suppose when you hear this you really appreciate Sarah Mclachlans voice just that little bit more........ well its not like we didnt already right?
The difference in their voices is actually pretty comical. I personally don't like Avril. I don't mean to be offensive at all. I just don't think she has anywhere near the vocal talent needed to sing this song and it wasn't a smart idea on her part to sing it with SARAH FRAKING MCLACHLAN... hahaha but hey, do what you want, right?
i just wanna slap avril for even thinking of singing that song....and for gods sake sarah...avril? she must have gained a lot of money to let avril cover the song...and to sing live with her
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I don't like Avril!!! she is not good in this song! ( Avril l'a pas du tout la chanson. Elle la détruit .. elle a pas la voix pour ça! )! Sarah is the best!!
by 20 you should've known that most of the pepole won't do what you want them to just because you said so, and you're pissed at me because i found you riddiculous.
besides - be a grown up and try to avoid such childish rude phrases. it really doesn't say any good about you(nor about your taste in music, come to think of it).
and IF the voices are a bit similar(which i fail to see/hear), maybe we could rephrase and say that Shakira does sound a bit like Sarah.
im not pissed at u. im like wtf. i posted my comment like 2 weeks ago and a stupid person replys saying that he/she disagrees but i dont give a fcuk so stop boring me with ur replys and im not going to read it anymore anywaysss
About Avril. Never liked her. Never respected her. Probably never will. But she wasn't bad, although, of course, noone can be that good to beat Sarah singing her own song. So - good job, sweety Avril.
Maybe one day she'll grow up a worthy woman and understand what she sings.
Listen all you avril's fans! Avril WAS NOT better, because she just can't be make it better. You can't even compare her to Sarah! None of songs avril can perform with more heart than Sarah. Avril can sing just those sk8er songs or i want to be your girlfriend la la la, all those teenager shits!
HA HA HA! never heard something so hilarious. "Sara sings like Shakira".
Hun, you must be 14 years old, right? Only a child could say something so immature. I might no be an experienced woman with decades behind, but even I know that Sarah was here before Shakira was planned and sung before that kid found out about music. And you must be really tone deaf(or just deaf) to suggest - they have similar voices.
gnagnagna im not 14 im 20 and its true that sara sounds like shakira. she sings good but its kinda boring plus its hard to understand what she wants to sayy. no offence but, go lick ur anus ;)
ok just stating that a reply like also makes you look immature for insulting someone for their opinion, never hold yourself higher than someone else over an opinion, your apart of the reason why society is so fucked up let me guess hun you are around 16 because thats why you sound like . only a child would say something like that to another child
what is rong with being 16,,,im 12 and i thin that you r a bitch...and you "can't insult someone for their oppinion" wats up with the dumb ass comment toh, huh im not trying to be mean but i still think that you're comment reflects what you just said, aspparently there comment was there oppinion. are you calling me a child, is it like all people my age dont have oppinions to, do we not have brains, (well bitch check youre comment one more time" and if you dont agree with that than fuck off
wow lets cus someone out over youtube really mature I think I might just go cry, your insults were so well thought out wernt they I bet you sat there forever thinking that one up. you take things WAy too literal kid.

i think both versions are beautiful in their own way. sarah has a more mature emotional voice while avril has a youthful innocent voice.
bottom line: stop bickering about which version is better. respect eachother. we don't need anymore fighting and hate in the world.
