  • I've listened to several of you're songs and I'm just breathless. Your voice is amazing in so many ways. I mean you're speaking Elvish and it's like PERFECT not many people can do that. I hope you find a great career in doing what you do.

  • "I am perfectly aware I was not able to do this song proper justice, nor do I sound remotely like Sylvanas" You don't need to. you just made me cry where the original song didn't...for the sweetness of your voice, the inflexions in it...i could go on but i think you know what I feel about it

  • Beautiful...just like our people.

  • @ThalassianHighKing Glory to the Sin'dorei!

  • I don't even play WoW, but I love this piece. Your violin playing is so amazing! :)

  • A lot of players will probably get mad at me for saying this, but I actually think your version of this is prettier than Lady Silvanas'.

  • @Rhawyneth i am actually a huge Silvanas fan but i will agree with you it is better after all i don't see silvanas singing lol

  • @Rhawyneth Been playing for years and I agree with you, all due respect to her voice actor. I doubt there are many who can surpass Kate's abillities and voice though, ameature or professional, known to few or international celeberity.

  • Do you thin you can send me the violin part???

  • @LucielStarz123 sorry for the late reply! Ah! I really should write it out, it was really fun to come up with ^^; If I ever get it down on sheet music, I will post it in the description of the video so you can download it to play! :D

  • no bad /barakobamaface.jpg xD well actually quite epic =P

  • wow you are amazing

  • There are a lot of Elfquest songs that could use a new arrangement..."Hands of a Healer" and "Shades of Shadow" (Both available on Youtube, just look for the "Elfquest" versions

  • you have a beautiful voice and i like how you take stuff like this for example and make it kinda your own

    beautiful job ^^

  • Comment removed

  • ;w; This is so beautiful~

    So what if it doesn't sound like Blizzard's-

    You do it justice, just in your own, beautiful way. <3

  • Absolutely Beautiful!

  • do u have a studio or something or u compose on a software?

    gr8 work btw like ur style.

  • wonderfull

  • I found your version of suteki da ne in my favourites, it's been sitting in there for a while and I decided to listen to some other stuff, you do this song great justice. I think it's a fantastic version. You sound beautiful.

  • I've never heard this song before I listened to Kate sing it (never playing any Horde characters), but I really like it. It's sad and kind of scary. A song about impending doom...and what makes it worse is that I was the one to wipe them out (during Warcraft 3). Damn! Only video games can make a 30 year old banker from Denver feel like a damned Nazi.

  • Where can i get your cds? I have to let my mom hear your singing kate, my mom sings at church and she has a good singing voice.

  • @Seanschemmelfan Ah! My CD is available on my website (erutanmusic . com) and it contains all my original songs. My covers are non-profit though, and you can download them freely from the link on my channel profile or from the links on my website ^^

    I would love to hear your mom sing!!! *o*

  • @katethegreat19 Thanks and I will have to record my mom singing infront of my camera. 

  • Beautiful :)

  • xD love this song make me miss my blood elf

  • My best friend introduced me to this video U have such a beautiful voice! I love temple of the moon the best so far tho <3

  • i like this much more than the original, i love ur voice

  • Wow, i stumbled on this just now, it's really nice of you that you included one of my art into the video AND credited it :P (i'm Umerean)

    You have a very nice voice, your rendering for the song is really moving, nice work!

  • Bravissima...really an emotion!!!

    Thank u for sharing and good luck for your future!

    Have a nice life!

  • it's very beatiful voice....

  • Such a sad song :'( 

  • FYI.. Im a huge fan of the original piece, but IMO your version is better! Great Job!

  • Hot damn, why have I not discovered you until now? Your voice is drop-dead gorgeous. Haunting. I'm always late to everything. >.< <3

  • This arrangement is absolutely breathtaking.

  • oh gosh kaite. this is so beautiful, but--alliance all the way >_<

  • As always: Perfect! ^~^

  • I was expecting the same "medioker" singing most others seems to be posting. You completly blew me away! Never heard anything like it in my life! Bravo, keep it up!

  • Wow, you have a beatiful voice, I consider myself a okay singer, but not good enough to post and make a fool of myself, great video, keep it up.

  • The best.

  • Wow...this is simply just....wow...I cant even sing this that good and I sing it on a daily basis!

  • i can't believe i haven't stumbled upon you before now - what a wonderful arrangement and performance. one of my most favorite songs, and you breathe a whole new perspective into it. love it.

  • @sambonz thank you so so much! *o*

  • This song is magical when you sing it.

  • thumbs up if u heard this and thought...wow....

  • Actually, I think that your version is better than the official one. The only thing I'd change is put a little more echo into the main voice line - just a tad more than you used in your "I'll Follow You Into The Dark" cover. That way it'd be the sound equivalent to light through the mist.

    Other than that admittedly minor thing, this is a lot better than the official one.

  • I have to disagree on the statement that you didn't put as much emotion in this as the original singer. You did a VERY amazing job ñ_ñ.

    I play a Blood Elf, and I'm kind of like a lorewhore. I just love the High/Blood Elf lore.

    Listening to this song gives me tears, thinking on everything that happened in the game, but also in real life. This song keeps me together ^o^.

    Keep it up!

    Love,

    Bjørn ;)

  • That's really sweet !!! I love it maybe more than the original version ^_^

    "ladyreemz86" has sent me your video ;)

    I wish you the best of luck you're a talented musician

    thumbs up

  • This was surreal love it

    :')

  • WoW!!!<3 :DDD

  • you have a beutiful voice and an amazing tenacity if you can memorize the calstria ( i believe thats how you spell it) language. much props

  • This makes me want to cry you were amazing.

  • This sounds even better than the original version (like almost everyone of your songs). And this song has been my favourite music in WoW for so many years til the point "Invincible" arrived.

    Aww...Lady Sylvanas Windrunner, forsaken but never forgotten.

    Ana Alah Belore

  • The Sin'dorei will prevail!

  • Someone on a European Server? Maybe german? Die Aldor is my favorite realm and I love playing my Bloodelf-Warlock Halfric

  • i'm crying with amazement of how beautiful you sang this song

  • EEE i love this song! ^^

    I play A undead priest on Senjin server so this excited me when i saw it! hehe

  • "I am perfectly aware I was not able to do this song proper justice"

    ~LIES!

  • I read your sidenote and thought to myself, "well, I guess I'll listen to it anyway..."

    You then proceeded to totally blow me away.

    It's beautiful.

  • I played this riding through Eversong. It was very atmospheric. Lovely.

  • Stunning.

  • Nice song and nice photos..Rly cool job :P

  • Amazing. You could make a career out of your talent.

  • 5-10 seconds in the son, and i'm faving it

  • @welsj I've got a blood elf priest! :D I'll heal youuuuu!

  • @katethegreat19 OMG Me too ^^ I love my Blood Elf Priest

  • @katethegreat19 ZOMG, For the horde! :3

  • @katethegreat19 ZOMG, For the horde! :3

    Letti: Blood elf priest, Shu halo server! :D

  • @katethegreat19 really? it's a small world after all. I've seen you runnig around once or twice now :)

  • @katethegreat19 Wow, you're fucking amazing... o.o

  • pure talent...great job!

  • I've seen a couple vids of yours now and i have to ask...do you have a contract with anyone? You have an amazing voice and are very good at arrangement i cant see how you couldn't.

  • @SexyMonsterLover  a contract? Not at all :O But even if one comes along I doubt I'll take it, I'm a bit too independent for a contract ^w^; But thanks so much for the compliment @.@

  • You are amazing. Your voice, your instrument usage; even the fact that you sped up the tempo a bit made it feel more like the way Sylvanas would have been singing it, being that their time was short and Silvermoon was being invaded relatively quickly.

    You ma'am, win. ^_^

  • After hearing your version of the Lament, I HAD to make a BE Mage. Your voice just captivated me like you were a siren on the ocean...

    :D

  • For me it wasn't a matter a which one was better or not, because they both had a very different feel. The original made me think of the various forests I had to trudge through. (Mostly Eversong and Silverpine.) Your version however, had an almost Celtic feel to it in some parts and it made me think of Silvermoon City, with all it's splendor save for it's one physical flaw, a reminder of their past. Of course this is coming from a one of dem nasty little rolepayers. :D

  • I'll admit I had my doubts when I saw fanmade. But you did pull it off very well. It is a great song.

    Be that as it may. The blood elves can't hold a candle to the Worgen

  • Its always good to be reminded that the blood elves are the loveliest... and saddest race of Warcraft.

  • Kate I have one question....Alliance or Horde? 

  • @realkagome1 :D I play Horde at the moment ^^

  • @katethegreat19 Blood Elves aint Horde, pointy ears !

  • Kate I have one question...Alliance or Horde? 

  • alll hails for kate...a real sylvannas...victory for kate. the new sylvannas from the forsaken.. :X

  • Your version of this song has a life completely different from, but no less stunning than, the original. Very haunting and subtle, you are very talented.

  • ah lovely as always... wonderful...and I agree it is better than the original

  • Oh gowd.. I now love you.

  • Your voice is as beautiful as your music.

  • I must agree with the mass here. You have an amazing voice miss... and the fact that you also played the track yourself means 10x more to the spirit of the song. I believe you to have truely captured the sentiment here by personalizing it and making it your own. Seriously, keep it up!

    -FTH

  • For Quel´thalas!

  • Oh no! The music combined with this song is too much! It's too good for youtube, but thanks for posting it anyways! ;)

    Hawt sin'dorei+amazing voice=best warcraft vid ever

    <3 <3 <3

  • This isn't Sylvanas. It's one of her more talented sisters.

  • This is so better than the one Sylvanas sung. It's much different. Do you remember Noelle? She showed me this, I play WoW with her now.Wonderful job on the song! By the way Noelle really misses you!

  • So beautiful, every time I listen to it. <3

    Never gets old. Love it sooo much. ;w:

  • Tempo's a little up, but otherwise it's exquisite.

  • this is totally my favorite of ALL ur covers so far. <3333

  • This is actually really beautiful, and you did an amazing job. Blood Elves are my favorite race so I can really appreciate how this song ties into the lore.

  • I'm ready to make a petition to make KateTheGreat an NPC in Cata. :-) Blizzard gotta recognize this. This is talent at its finest. :-) Great job Kate!

  • I have goosebumps right now.

  • Beautiful. I had chills from the experience.

    The best MMO game i have ever play. Soundtracks are awesome, and that's amesome arrangement

  • amazing, this brought tears in my eyes!

  • I don't play WoW, so I'm pretty lucky to have stumbled upon this. If that's really you doing all of the instrumentation on top of the vocals, then I have to say it's the most well done fan-arranged song cover I've heard on here, especially video game related. Nice stuff.

  • Wow, this is beautiful o.o

  • i like it

  • ah super awesome. all your stuff is great. i used these lyrics in a music project during college hehe

  • Despite my intense love for the banshee queen... I must say, you have bested her, :3

  • you always sing the heaven song!!!

    ...so...you are an angel who have got very very angel voice :D:D

    this is very perfectly beautiful ^^

  • I like this one more than the original. You sing beautifully. Not to mention you play beautifully as well.

  • most of youtube.com cover songs are crappy but this one isn't! well done imo.

  • When I listen to this, it's easy to imagine that an elf is singing.

  • *doesn't know what to say* I was entranced! Your voice is so beautiful! This is better than the original if you ask me. Wow, I can't get over how pretty your voice is! *listens to song again* ^_^

  • This quite honestly could have played during WoW, I may actually like this better than the original.

  • Amazing song and pictures

  • Even better than the original imo. Very, very impressive

  • I don't even play WoW (wish I could, though) and I fell in love with your voice in this one. @_@

  • Very nice instrumentation, and I like your voice. Could have lowered the tempo a bit, maybe that's just me.

  • this is better then the one from the game,keep up the good work :)

  • k so ur a singer, anime fanatic and an online gamer~? oh gawd ur great xD im loving ur songs so far, such a soft voice~

  • Silvana's fighting a battle to win they could not. Although she knew that she could not win, it has continued to fight for family and people. And now she is working on a poison that kills both human and undead to take revenge on the other alliance she and her people left in the engraving and the Arthas she tied forever to the earth

  • And i always thought the original artist was the best.. I was wrong.. Cosidering you playing the instruments you are much beyond her. I raise my hat, although i have none at the current moment, to you! Keep it up!

  • @Kocke95 Thank you! :O

  • You had me at "violin"

  • @ChadAutry xD thanks! I need to use it in my music more often ^^

  • @ChadAutry I know right? My thoughts exactly.

  • quality :)

  • you did a good job on this song, like you said you don't sound like sylvanas does, but you did a good job :) *btw i got the music box finally from icc25 heroic !!! *shadowmourn final quest rewards*. made me happy.

  • would you happen to know the key of the song or pitch you start on?

  • @Voidrend There are so many accidentals in the song it is hard for me to discover the "true" key, but it starts in E natural-minor with some B flats thrown into the harmony for that "special dissonance" I start my melody on an E.

  • @katethegreat19 Kate, I am seduced by this singing that Blood Elfs are real!

  • sounds fantastic, thank you for posting!

  • Dude! I just got chills. You and all that you do are so great.

  • People in previous comments have said the song lacks the same emotion as the Gunn version. I disagree with that notion. It's all about the perspective and interpretations of the singer who I believe did a great service to this piece.

    From what I've read on wowwiki the original was of Kaldorei origin lamenting the losses during the War of the Ancients. Therefore when I hear you sing it, I think of a younger Sylvanas reflecting on her people's past, rather than the Banshee Queen we have today.

  • @TheSolx Thankyou!  *o* Oh, I'm from the USA ^^

  • After all you've put me through, woman, the last thing I'll give you is the peace of death.

  • Your voice is so Serene! It's so beautiful. I've never heard such a beautiful voice! I'm a singer myself and soon when I can I'll be putting some of my stuff on.

  • This is soooo pretty! You sound amazing.

  • You did great an amazing cover of this song. And I get a true rpg feel from the video arrangement, as if you were seeing the pride of civilization rising and falling. Truly a lament of the highborne.

  • BLOOD ELF FOR LIFEEEEE

  • Amazing. very well done. I am just wondering if some of the pictures are hand drawn because it looks like some of them are.

  • I read your side note, and I'm gonna be straight up with you... You have no idea what your voice is capable of. This is by far the best version of this song I have ever heard. You have a rare and beautiful voice that I could listen to till my dying breath. One could easily fall in love with a woman with a voice like yours.I personally think you did justice to the song just fine.

    I look forward to hearing more... Very well done.

  • wow...JUST WOW....Great singing, as with your other songs. A beautiful peice of art! (I wish the gaming community had more pationate females!

  • i began to lisiting to the violin to morethen the song but its just becasue i kinda didnt undertsand it ^^ but amiazing any way :3

  • Leider lagen einige Töne daneben, aber die Stimme ist schön. Danke fürs hochladen.

  • It's been a while since I heard your version of this song. I still find it very good.

  • I think you sung amazingly! Most of us can't carry a tune in a bucket. It was a great cover! And I think the fact that you play so many various instruments so well more than "makes up" for the differences between you and the original singer.

  • this is beautiful... i am totally speechless at how lovely you sang this song :')

  • much better than the original! :) 24 ppl were distracted by your beautiful singing and missed the 'like' button.

  • Your voice is SOO amazingly beautiful! i LOVE it! Amazing job!

  • Omg that jus Beautifull!!!!

    Omg i can die happy now XD

    I loved the original but i love this even more plz countinue to sing!!!

    Sing like the wind!!

  • Just wanted to drop by and say this cover is amazing! I just watched the Quel'Delar movie by Melvenor, and offer my praise for such a beautiful cover, better than anything I could do with the song. Keep it up!

  • this was well done. I haven't heard the actual singer but you did a lot better than I could ever hope to do! Violen is beautiful. Such a sad sounding song.

  • I listen to this repeatedly while I'm playing WoW... Even when I'm not playing, actually. It's... no words can describe how beautiful this is. ^.^ I started listening to this song a few months before, and recently I've watched more of your videos ^.^ I'm in love with every one of them! I <3 you Kate! =]

  • I could listen to the violin all day. On the second half I end up listening to it more than the singing. The singing is amazing, too. o: If you could put up some covers of songs on your violin solo I bet it'd be amazing too!

  • @Sian0410 thankyou! I should feature my violin more O.O It's my main instrument! 

  • @katethegreat19 I think there´s some elven blood in you ;) really in love with your remakes of songs!

  • Superbe, genial !

  • wau que pasada la te quedo genial :D

  • I have to agree with you on one thing; you don't put the same type of emotion into it that Sylvannas did. Slyvannas sung it with a sad, emotional passion and I think that's what really won the song for me. However, your composition and voice are lovely.

  • @Hikari2Yami I sung with all the emotion I could muster, but in the end it comes down to skill, which I have much less of than Vangie Gunn. I've seen this sort of comment a lot, which is why I put a disclaimer of sorts in the description.

    Thankyou for listening through this though.

  • @Hikari2Yami I would have to respectfully disagree with you on the "emotional passion" put into this cover version of the song. I felt the seemingly emotional sadness from this song. For me, it felt like it was sadness from a different person, which is actually the case since this artist is different from the original.

  • I like this version better. Your voice is pettier. Also this has a much more haunting feel to it.

  • I wish i could sing that good :< Lol very VERY good job :D Keep it up

  • In your description, you tended to lie a bit. You said that this doesn't do the song any justice and that you said it wasn't that great. I've done the whole quest line in the game of World of Warcraft for them to actually play this song, really it isn't that long though <.<, and had them play it in Undercity. How you've done it is quite amazing, and if I understand it properly, you did this entirely by yourself. It is really amazing, and you should be proud of yourself for this.

  • OMG!!!

    Your voice is lovely!!! Now I know how to picture my Half -Elf sounding when she sings this song. ^.^

    :3

  • You have a beautiful voice. I heard your version a long time ago and was just browsing youtube to find this video again because I liked it so much.

  • @Helljumper91 aww thankyou!! I appreciate that you wanted to hear it again!

  • okay..... this is epic in my opinion, and I don't even play WoW (I've played Warcraft 2 and 3, and have listened to the official blizzard endorsed video).

    All in all, very good job!!!!!!

  • @DarthDeslauriers you're a Warcraft veteran! ^0^ Thankyou so much!

  • This was done quite well if you ask me. :3

  • For Sylvannas!

  • Angel voice! You are a profesionist singer?

  • I think this is great, I just think you should hold some the notes out longer - let them ring!

  • Well i can just say that this piece ist awesome in its own way...not worse not better than the official blizzard version...it just has its own special sound in a good good way.

    keep up your work because you know what youre doing ;)

  • @thenameisalreadyused thankyou so much!
