Self Portrait/Blackmore's Night

[andy020765]

this is the definitive version for me

[ghosty1490]

o,o i wouldnt mind living there on 1:39 :P

[ytrholitho]

... the original version, with Dio, is much better...

[sirrodneythedire]

Is it just me or did they/she raise my favorite note in the song one semitone? The word "way" in the "nothing is real..." line? I think they did. Curses, yo. Dio, I like to think you know what I mean.

[yoanpenchev]

 I think that the original version is better, but this is cool too...

[barefootwarrior1]

Damn right, very underrated Rainbow track but Candice has brought it alive again & lets hope Ronnie would approve!!

[Hussar4Hussies]

Nice cover, I have known of this band for awhile and often fantasized a duet in the form of a round between Candice Night and Ronnie James Dio. I think they would harmonize as well as contrast distinctly in creating a unique version. Although Ronnie James Dio is no longer with us perhaps by skillfully editing a duet could be forged in the dreamtime of electronic manipulation to achieve such and end, let me know if you’ll agree or disagree, but think and hear it in your mind first, Cheers

[vaso9701]

Very good!!!! But the original is better :D

[TheGeezer88]

DIO > this famale child

[DennisGW10]

I like her voice, but not when covering Dio. RJD did it so much better...

[antonios76]

[phantasmogeria]

@antonios76

You prefer screaming to singing?

People generally outgrow heavy metal bands by 30.

[REDMAFIA82]

you must know so much about music....

[DennisGW10]

@Blackislefan Sorry...I'm 54 years old and have remained true to my musical roots (with a few exceptions) since the mid-'70s...

[DruidRobur]

@DennisGW10 he said generally, and you are listening to this song too

[DennisGW10]

@DruidRobur Yes, I was listening to the song. But I think Dio was much better, just like he was when doing Rainbow Eyes. My opinion.

[ComaLies225]

@DennisGW10 yeah i kinda agree, i like dio's rendition better.

[ComaLies225]

@Blackislefan Where did you get that idea? I know plenty who are over 30 and still love the genre.

[mobby32]

again dio does much better

[1987franceschina]

this song is amazing!and beautiful picture collection!

[RevStormyMonday]

DIO, Deep Purple, Rainbow...all excellent. But seriously, this is Blackmores greatest band he has ever been in.

[IHIKML]

Duh...?

[sabbathmaiden]

Yeah, right Ritchie and Ronnie together was the best. Too bad that will never happen again.

[Elecen]

Blackmore's an awesome musician. And his wife (Blackmores Night) has an awesome voice. The man has clearly retired, now writing now for himself rather than for the world. Thing is, we apparently have common tastes. We obviously liked he earlier works, as we like his latest ones 8)

[MusicDoLove]

Excellent work. 5/5

[Cohedros]

What's the name of this song? So that I can compare this and the original.

[phantasmogeria]

Self Portrait

[Cohedros]

Oh. Well now that you've said that it seems obvious. >> Thanks.

[seventiesclassic]

The original is a heavier version on the 1st Rainbow album.

I like them both...but have to say I prefer the original.

[sinbarrerassoyasi]

Amazing!

[phantasmogeria]

Thanks!

[sabbathmaiden]

Candice has a nice voice, but this just not compete in anyway shape or form with Dio.

[DnDmasta]

Hmm well she is not man and somethin like that,and this is a diferent type of music and so it is diferent vocalist! so u can't compare the Dio voice and her voice.. Well that u don't think ofcourse Dio have realy beautiful voice.. but I told my point..Hope u understand me!

[ChainWasp]

Although its the same song, there is a difference between the way each band plays it, which gives a different touch each one.The Rainbow version (classic) is with a harder sound, and this one with medieval style. Exactly what Blackmore wanted then and now. Genius. I love them both, they're great thx for uploading!

[RSNorther]

Aaa Rainbow Classic...

I think rainbow version is better but this is great too....

[phantasmogeria]

i see..thanks anyway!

[sweenii]

[Tianna00]

Beautiful pictures and wonderful music!!!

I really like it!

Tianna

[sabbathmaiden]

Doesn't compete with the original version. The original version rocks. I doubt you'll see any duet's between Dio and Candice.

[phantasmogeria]

Yes the version from rainbow is really good you're right! But i really sympathize with the atmosphere of this version either! Duet..would be great.

[eltakiro]

A matter of taste. Like so much.

[Deeperpurple1952]

I don't think it was meant to compete..just a different version..and just as good..

in a different way.

[umegoyomi]

beautiful :D

well-suited pictures as well ..
