  • well.......i hate john mayer lol. but i LOVE audra mcdonald. this was awesome

  • oh i slso love her hair and think shes really pretty!!!! also i can really related to this song. it feels like i also say the wrong thing alll the time and i feel really embarrases and regret it later....i also have tried to be liked and funny in my middle school years, i guess u can say i wanted to b on of the popular ones! but now i realize that i dont have to be popular bc ppl shud like me for who i am!!! be ur slef and dont have change!!! its who u r!!!! :)

  • I dont think John Mayer is a bad singer or anything and im not trying to diss him. Im not like a huge fan of him but its not like a hate him and think hes horrible. I like this song, but I personal like it a whole lot better when Audra McDonald sings it!!! I think shes one of the best singers ever!!! she has the voice of an angel and i love her!!!!!!!! <3

  • love her!!!!

  • *fantastic video

  • Why did I just now discover this fan? This is incredible. Huge John Mayer fan (this is actually my favorite song off "Room for Squares") and a pretty big Audra McDonald fan, too. I'm going to see her in concert tomorrow night!

  • Wow I can really appreciate the lyrics when she sings it... I mean, I am a huge fan of John Mayer and own all his albums, but I like this version very well.

  • caralhoo, ficou uma merda

  • I actually heard her version first... I love them both but Audra is PHENOMENAL on this song. The beauty of a good song is the ability of multiple performers being able to make it theirs...

  • johns version is better. no offense

  • I love JM and this was awesome.

  • Coming from a HUGE John Mayer fan, I never heard of Audra McDonald before (Sorry) and THIS rendition gave me CHILLS! GOOSEBUMPS! It was awesome! Bravo Audra McDonald. A new discovery for me and I can't wait to listen to her more!

  • for the love of sweet god above i've heard both versions of this song this one and the one by the artist who wrote it john Mayer and in my honest opinion if i only had 5 minutes to live and could only listen to one version i must say i would only listen to the version done here by Audra mcdonald

  • i love everything she does...shes just adorable..the best. best ever

  • i never knew that she was an excellent singer and stage actress.. im always awed by her performance in private practice..

  • good god. audra mcdonald has such incredible talent. i can't even handle it.

  • BELLISSIMA!!!

  • she is sooo good!! -PrincessP

  • Brilliant!

  • loved it!

  • I know Audra because I watch PP and I'm so surprised that she sings like this! She has an amazing voice!!!! <3 I love it

  • Great song. GReat singer. Audra McDonald is georgous and John Mayer is brilliant. GEnious composer/song writer and performer. It's like for the BEATLES. You love him or hate him (think you hate him). People who says he is a douche just think they hate him. In fact, they just don't know him. Or they would know that song and say he is great. :)

  • you cant compare jm to the beatles, especially in reference to liking or not liking them. He is a douche, just a talented one

  • LOVE this!!

  • THIS IS WIERD

  • one of my favorite performances of hers...AND this song period.

  • she can do noo wrong :)

  • 1 word, wonderful.

  • i love that she did this! she's so talented

    love her and this song. i feel like this belongs in a show now. haha

  • Whys the acoustic guitarist using a capo? is he that rubbish that he cant mute?

    Audra is brill. But what the hell is that guitar player doing? jeez.

  • Well the original song is in Dmajor... and i think shes playing this in Bb if im not mistaken so thats probably what the capo is for to get the same chord shapes.... in a different key

  • I love this song and her voice...It's supposed to be different. That's the great thing about theatre. Nothing ever stays the same, which keeps every performance and piece of music so alive.

  • I'm so in love with this performance right now. She's so amazing.

  • What makes art special is that it can be re-interpreted and understood in different ways. This is a great re-inventing of a great song. If Mr. John Mayer didn't want her singing his song he wouldn't have let her. Just because her approach is more adult doesn't make it bad, it just makes it different. And that's beautiful because it is, after all, art. :)

  • :)i love audra

  • This is an awesome song. Some of you don't get it. That John Mayer wrote this as a very young man speaks volumes for his talent as a writer. What makes it a great song is that it can be done many different ways and still work. Audra's version works, despite her age and gender differences from Mayer. If you're 20 years old now, make sure you give this a listen again in 20-20-40 years.

  • You APPARENTLY don't know the first thing about Audra McDonald. LOL pretty moronic.

    She's obviously NOT trying sound like john mayer and I'm pretty damn sure he's flattered that a MULTIPLE tony award winning actress is singing his song.

  • @kittybookitty don't forget her 2 grammys

  • @kittybookitty I'm sure she had to get permission to preform this as well. So he had to have known the arrangement and her talent.

  • she's really proper....and personally i dont think it works with this song /: (just my own opinion)

  • she makes me like whatever shes singing

  • WTF LOL

  • wasnt that her husband in the beginning playing the guitar?

  • This sounds like a Songs For a New World-type song, and I didn't realize ituntil I heard Audra's version.

  • She's basically perfect. I don't even know what to say. I love her version of this song!

  • At first I thought she was butchering John's song but now I find beauty in the different style she brings to john words. The same that John did with the lyrics of Free falling and message in a bottle.

  • i effin love Audra

    My family is very close with her voice teacher :D hes the sweetest man alive and did an AMAZING job with her, it take lessons from another one of his students. She has such a full, beautiful, velvety, and healthy voice

  • Quality.  Finally she goes with something that really works.

  • I think i've just found my next live performance :D

  • I just slammed her for her Barbra/Judy duet, but I really love this!! Beautifully feminine.

  • Oh my goodness I love this song Audra McDonald Sings so Well I lov her singing. I lisen to this soe whn i am sad and it helps a lot.

    I love Audra McDonald

  • I prefer John Mayer.

  • really depends on your preference really. I love john's version, (too bad he's sworn off acoustic forever :( ), but this one, like she says in another copy of this video's intro, its narrative and therefore kinda has that new age Broadway vibe to it. I would love to see a jukebox musical with this in it!

  • cute! very cute and well done

  • I didn't no she sings...she is pretty good!

  • She has 4 Tony awards, also.

  • really whats a tony award??

  • It's like the Oscars but for Broadway shows. She won 3 of them before she turned 30 and one since then. She's also performed with both Houston Grand and Los Angeles Opera companies.

  • wow thats amazing...shes a good actor too. do you watch private practice?

  • absolutely...she's much better than the chick they had in the pilot episode.

  • haha ya

  • i think it's a perfectly lovely song, and she sounds lovely singing.

  • Oh Audra, Beautiful Voice But WHY Boo Why. There Are Sooooo Many More Songs That Suit You So Much Better and You Choose....MY STUPID MOUTH.WOW But I Do Love Her I Have To Say
