I believe her in her respect for EC. But this is just flat out wrong:
1: Her decision to phrase the song just like EC makes her sound like she's imitating EC. That dishonors both singers, and also the song.
2: The duet is unnecessary. It doesn't improve the song, which at its core is meditative and spiritual. I don't believe the song was meant to be interpreted this way.
How wonderful... How absolutely wonderful... Eva such perfection and emotion.. Katie such respect and also emotion along with beautiful harmonies.. What a wonderful experience to watch.. xxx
i am just a beginner - please have a look at my version of the following songs: me singing coat of many colors sonet, black coffee sonet, sylvia's mother sonet.
Too much Katie considering the stunning performance of Eva. She should have let Eva's performance lead, especially to open, and at several other points along the way, then joined her in support. Katie's simply not a peer, on pitch stability alone. This could've worked, but Eva had to be the lead in this impossible duo, and Katie had to have done the excellent support singing she obviously can do against this standard.
This reminded me of when rock stars try to sing with Pavarotti - they should not put their tinny, weak voices next to his. Likewise, Katie just does not have the range, control or talent like Eva did - so she did not come across well. She is cute, though.
peux importe madame eva cassidy a une voie magnifique et par respect je pense que katie a voulu lui rendre hommage et si ce n'est pas le cas tanpis que dieu est son ame
@dragonmybutt ~ Please don't hate.... Katie gave credit to Eva, in fact she said she probably wouldn't even have picked up a guitar if not for Eva Cassidy. I think it was a WONDERFUL duet, with chills and goosebumps all the way through the song! I understand what you're trying to say, and I don't think that it was Katie's intent. She's just trying to give tribute to one of the most beautiful singers in the world, and sharing Eva's singing again!
@dragonmybutt I think the point of this show is to pay tribute to the artists that inspired them. Its pretty impossible to take credit for an arrangement that was done by someone whos no longer living. And if she wanted to ride coat tails of someone, it would be silly of her not to pick someone way more well known than Eva. Its a beautiful song. Enjoy it for what it is.
Mr Bratt give us same plesure what you did over the wold! show us Katie Melua please! we deserved this! ones again: DO THIS please in 2011!!! Georgian Guy
I have never heard this sung by the pair of these wonderful singers, it was so beautiful and at the end the presenter was correct not a dry eye in the house, it is not often music will move me but this , unbelievable, what a cruel world we live in when someone so talented as Eva get taken by cancer at such an early age, but thank you so much to Katie for being so humble and dueting with Eva. Katie you are a diamond, how awsome would the two of them be today.
Eva's version is better without this gal singing with her. Thanks for your tribute to a legend, Katie, but it would have been better if you'd just player her video for your fans and smiled.
But for god´s sake does she really have to play the guitar over the playback?? Either do it without playback guitars, which she could, or just without guitar!
What a wonderful video. Thank you very much for uploading it. So nice that this two singers that I like the most, sing together in an impossible duet. Just great. Lovely voices and acoustic guitars...Thanks.
Thank you very much for posting this Tona. Katie is a great talent and Eva is simply a unique talent. Two angels sharing a great joy for and love of music.
I remember when I watched this on TV and could not stop myself from crying. The harmonies were amazing and it goes to show that a simple acoustic duet can be as good/even better than any complicated one. Simply beautiful!
Katie, your comment on Eva was right on. She had a special talent of melting peoples hearts by feeling everything she sang in such a deep way and with a beautiful voice. But I also want to tell you that it takes a special person to recognize a special one. You are also very special. With your incredible voice and your special talent, you also stood out on your own. Singing that song with Eva and complementing her was very special. Thank you. You are a star. To me, you are both angels.

Eva Cassidy was not a member of this wannabe's generation.
But be certain to put about that one's name is cinnected with the worthy and it might boost one's career for a few weeks.
