Sarah McLachlan - Adia (Mirroball Live)

[QuestoDomini]

Sarah, besides you being the smokin' sultry beauty you truely are...I delight at the way the tip of your cute nose moves when you sing...I know, I'm a weirdo for noticing/liking something like that...but I think it's really a likable attribute.

[ff2paladin]

5 people stole boyfriends/girlfriends/husband­s/wives from their own friends

[MrPeace2u]

Wow - She's got it all....a gorgeous, sexy woman, with talent beyond belief!!

[granddaddypurplehaze]

The song is about Sarah dealing with the problems of feeling responsible for everyone else.

[pedrocnf77]

really amazing!

[mirooop]

I really love her voice. amzing

[novocrk]

comete esto lady.... bahh ni vale la pena comentar nada.. solo escucharla

[chestnut369]

GEE, NO ONE IS GOING TO TELL WHAT THE SONG IS ABOUT????

[ff2paladin]

@chestnut369 It's kind of a secret. There are theories, but none of them is confirmed.

[ff2paladin]

@ff2paladin The most popular theory is that Sarah stole a boyfriend (whom she later married) away from a friend (not named Adia however; that name was borrowed from her grandma). The friend was bitter and got really depressed. Sarah feels sort of responsible, but she tries to comfort her.

[Chon12571]

My favorite musical DVD.

[jacintonegro]

thumbs up CLASSIC



[tparantes]

Mirrorball is possibly one of the best LIVE albums I have ever listened to!

[codywaynelouis]

oh 90's ....i miss u so.....:(

[volcomclassic]

Avril Lavigne butchered this song. I mean really really killed it. No one else can sing this song except Sarah herself.

[brutanza]

Divina!

[bahora21]

her voice is amazing and goes along with deep meaning of the song..

[MyPapajojo]

is this lipsync? coz her voice is so pure perfect

[tasman763]

@MyPapajojo .....no, not sync'd . she is a natural , and absolutely stunning . one of the very few .....

[deenaballerina]

Simply divine, Sarah is so talented and touches a little bit of her listeners hearts and souls. Just beautiful.

[marknewkirksr]

Really nice song

[barbadossurfer]

this song has such deep meaning in my life recently...sigh...

[nerdy5746]

nice song

[MrJonmullins1981]

The whole mirrorball album is a masterpiece in my opinion. I've always had a thing for girls who can play piano and sing, and Sarah is hands down the best, like an angel. Like ErnieFairchild1 said, it's about the soul she puts into her work that tugs your heart strings.

[XXthewaveXX]

Blimey, that's good. Avril Lavigne does well with it too.

[ErnieFairchild1]

This song is amazing. I will never understand how supposed "real" Sarah fans can bitch about Surfacing not being "as good as" Fumbling and stuff. It's different, but damn..it rips at your heart. This stuff makes you feel and thats what it's all about.

[jac9z]

All I can say is WOW!!

[elswano1]

always better to see the amazing sarah do it live! Thanks Swanee

[pushelildaisies]

For anyone else who is crying right now, I'm with you.

[blueblazerblack]

wow that intro just slapped me in the face. in a really really good way!

[MmeSara]

best signer ever !

[LoomVideos]

@MmeSara just she sign autographs or make shop signs or what?

great singer though.

[masashi080808]

who's justin bieber?

[apoc601]

Avril should stick to punk rock. She is not allowed to sing this song.

[aguetes]

@apoc601

I think she didn't do it thaaaat bad. still, nothing compares to sarah, of course! :)

[snake5807]

speed up ?

[fknasshole]

This has come to be one of my favorite songs. I love it.

[ModernVina]

Sarah is awesome!!!!!!

[josh2josue88]

one more

[vampyros1]

Sarah's absolutely alluring here; beautiful, her eyes sparkle, she hits all her notes. What a perfect live performance. Can't get over it......the band is so tight, and the drummer is so dynamic ... Adia's ex?? Either way, I'm knocked out!

[vampyros1]

My God, this is so good it's nearly orgasmic. What a brilliant performance of an already brilliant song. So good, it may even surpass the studio version, and I NEVER say that. Words fail-

[sgprint]

this is just stunning........

[Barlovennto]

amazing

[SuperLoryan]

Já vi tanto este vídeo e o adoro...é tudo de bom, a letra da música, o talento da cantora, a performance...fora que toca o meu coração...

[dejeas]

sarah is the beatiful singer, and this song is the best...

[222billp]

Great singer-Great song writer-Great Musician ! Very few in music history could stack up favorably to her talents.

[Whodisdeya]

she would write great music for Final Fantasy games

[JinzouTamashii]

Oh, Adam.... Adeline..... Adia... baby, I never had a grudge. I was just torn apart when you told me you found another girl, that night, I couldn't stop crying.

I wish you had told me that I was still that girl... /sob

[MegaLUIGI1982]

LO MEJOR

[avril8426]

I Love It . fast tempo is rock

[iaorozco]

Excelente performance...

[thezigzag127]

we named my dog after this song so i have a dog named Adia she's a lab and she is a bout to be 6 years old on feb. 17

[marcooler10]

I love her....I love this music...I love everything

[kumaken1983]

everything beautiful !!!

[yssa1968]

love you

[Travagliod]

Love this peformance, amazing!!

[vistawaco]

Don't get me wrong, I love Sarah's voice, but in this performance the tempo is too fast and she seems like shes rushing the lyrics. Please view the "Afterglow" version of this song. She's standing without instrument and solely concentrating on her vocal. The tempo is perfect and she sings with such feeling, easily her best "Live" version of Adia that I've heard IMHO.

I uploaded a version myself... check it out 5 stars

[jesusranch34]

@vistawaco true, but live performances tend to be subject to the adrenaline rush of being on stage in front of an audience so u gotta kind of take that into account

[ojib62]

Your right, it's the drummer, and he's too loud too for this song.

[WarriorsAnonymous08]

oh please sincerely shut the fuck up. its meant to be fast paced here. theres a bunch of different versions on here but this imo the best1

[cashtrey]

ke mujer mas hermosa, la cancion esta super, la amo, sarah te amo.

[93Hondax2]

love sarah.

[SPROCKchic83]

MAGICAL...

luv her voice

[ForEverRon]

Man... I wish i could just look at her until the end of time, and more so after that...

[elnoreconocibe]

avril lavigne do better..!! and is more beautifull

[Vegashousedancer]

This is just an amazing video of an amazing singer....Sarah... in a class by herself.....

works songs to death....songs have no chance..

Double J

[luis5ales455]

amo essa canção é simplismente... magnifica...........!!!!

[laarbe]

I always loved this song and Sarah. She is so beautiful and talented. This song touches the very core of your soul and heart. Thanks for the post.

[bayzat]

song is too fucking depressing

[merkywave]

she's my GF!

[gogtjgog]

u wish

[runlavigne]

PEEEEEERFECT *-*

[kaley3646]

Sylvia this is my song to you. Most of the words anyway. I love you. I found my true soul mate I hope you will as well too. How many people get to claim their ex wife is their best friend? Mamo and you are a constant in mine and my familys hearts

[trooper744]

I find this comment somewhat bitter sweet while reading what you wrote and listening to the song.. I got kind of nostalgic with your memory...

[tobehube]

Esta canción es demasiado bestia.

[kirstenisawesome09]

Que es "bestia"?

No se

[Javicovargas]

increible

[beatingxheartbaby]

this is the best performance i've ever heard of this song. in fact, this is vocally one of the best tour i've ever heard in my life. and this is the most beautiful i've ever seen her.

[nerdy5746]

@beatingxheartbaby type in and search:

sarah mclachlan adia a friend who won't betray

[jowyfantasy]

@beatingxheartbaby Yup [: Mirrorball holds the best performances of her.

[gravelandgrain100]

@jowyfantasy -

I don't know, bud-I melted when she sang "mary" and I will not forget you" on her FTE Live DVD.

This is an excellent tour also, she could sing "happy birthday" and it would be stunning!

[kanojoe2000]

this is my favorite live version, she kills it this time!

[TinyMighty]

the original is always better b/c the artist that writes it has a reason. theres something that has made them inspired to write. although avril does an AMAZING job,...sarah will always have something ,... a special something. shell have the soul that avril lacks. you can you see it when she plays the song. to sarah it means something. its great

[beebobox]

agree

but some singers aren't the artists that write the music they sing.

in those instances others can do much better jobs.

just my 2c

[bostonmaritime]

wow

[XdershizX]

avril is my all time favorite singer, but i'm not going to lie-- sarah sings this so much better than her.

[Imxoneofthefallen]

of course sarah sings this better than avril, since it IS originally by Sarah Mclachlan haha.

[XdershizX]

originals are always better

[volcomclassic]

Nah Avrils kinda sucks, shes just to young to sing this song and her voice sounds whiny. Sarah will own this song over anyone else.

[KittyLuvAvrilLavigne]

I like Avril's version more...But Sarah's version is very good, too! :)

[travisketcheson]

Critics have said that the Mirrorball album is the best sounding live album ever. I might have to agree on that. The sound on this record is outstanding for live.

[luther357]

As an audio engineer, I absolutely agree! The sound of Mirrorball gives us all something to shoot at for live recordings...

[managerguy]

avril is packaged hack food, come on. too much too young she lost it somewhere, very quickly.

[Lolle162]

I think you can't compare Avril To Sarah. They're both different Artists, persons with two different voices. I think they've both a gorgeous voice! There are songs from Sarah that Avril could never sing cause she hasn't got Sarah's voice, but there are also songs from Avril that Sarah could never sing. I think Avril did a good job. Still it's Sarah's wonderful song. They're both great Artists. If Avril's voice sucked, she wouldn't have so many fans. Don't you agree ?

[wolfclan12345]

check out the song I KNOW on my profile

[limoncello182]

i think avril lavigne sang this song better than sarah despite the fact that sarah wrote it!!! i lvoethese both canadians!!!

[Imogence]

Well, then, honey. You are deaf.

[htped]

i nt agree with u..avril sang out diferent thing than sarah...both nt same..

[bluesti3]

Yuck! Are you joking? Avril is just shrieky and can't even do the vibrato well... Sarah has one of the most beautiful voices EVER and has perfect pitch, every time...

[Elchupucabra]

Avril sings like a screech owl in comparison. Her voice lacks the depth to convey the sorrow contained within the lyrics.

[Dominantcarnivore]

Amen brother,Sarah is the real deal.

[krisscats]

she is an amazing artist, so bold and sincere, she has a truly lovely voice and soul~

[plumpdn]

Oh Halleluia...I needed to clean my ears after listening to that Avril Lavine horrible cover...Sarah, please sue her.

[YourShotAtLove]

Love this song.

[yortyort23]

She is in Toronto on Oct 18th at Roy Thompson Hall

[HeartRocksOut]

I can't stop watching this. I always end up back here to check it out. Amazing video.

[nanoradiohead]

que bueno el tema y que bonita la mina.

[HeartRocksOut]

This is my favorite song. Never thought I would be able to say I have a "favorite" song because there are so many. But I finally did it...and this is it. Great song, great version. Gotta love Sarah.

[GloryBoxS]

Great!!! She has an beautiful voice, this performance is amazing!!! Está genial la presentación!!! Canta iwal que en estudio, es lo que me impresiona, espero que te guste a ti iwal OsakY!

[Waynos73]

PS: Just watched Avril's version of this.

Sarah impressed me more by singing one note...oh and while playing the piano too...not the easiest task in the world!

[desmondgasper]

Wow..,this is amazing..,never hear from her recently though..wonder where she went..lol

[Waynos73]

Sarah's still around! she's currently

working on studio album #7 due early next

year and there's a couple of Sarah CD's;

Rarities Vol #2 (out now) and her Greatest

Hits (September).

[HeartRocksOut]

New Studio Album!!!  Can't wait!

[qwertyqwertybob]

@ 3:11 - Shivers-down-spine moment. Beautiful!

[Makashi12]

Awesome

[kookoobananahead]

I wish she was my mommy, rocking me to sleep. She's so good. She is a true muse.

[humantoy09]

That is talent. Avril Lavigne's not bad at all, she's good at her own thing, but THAT is talent, though some of her expressions scares the hell out of me. lol

[humantoy09]

That is talent. Avril Lavigne's not bad at all, she's good at her own thing, but THAT is talent, though some of her expressions scares the hell out of me. lol

[MmeSara]

Woaw super! loove you Sarah

[SimplyPaoolcia]

Wonderful!! She's got great voice :D But Avril Lavigne's cover I like also.

[perroxido20]

who's avril lavigne?

[ordinaryad]

=_________=

[perroxido20]

hahaha

[cxmafia]

@perroxido20 a female smurf, known on the tween section of the internet for being angry without really meaning it. I'm a parent, I have to listen to a lot of hideous shit

[danteyoutu]

@perroxido20 avril what? lol

[anthematica]

Saw this tour and Ash was like silk on the drumkit... Sarah is great but believe me, her live shows are musical because of her band. The most underrated musicians in the business. I don't know the guitar player's name but he is AMAZING! See Sarah live for once in your life. It's crazy to hear her music live.

Just great music...

[sgtpepper1138]

those DW short stacks sound fantastic, I always wanted a set

[skinneren]

Norah Jones has the best musicians in the buisness, but this is good.

[claustrophobicgrl]

Oh her voice.. love it. Love all her songs. Usually I don't prefer Live but she can really pull it off perfectly. I like her glittery eye shadow too.

[hyuggaffa]

I love that song and building a mystery. she's really got angel voice

[lux911]

beautiful

[Alx15]

Wow, this just gave me goosebumps. It's such a beautiful song.

[Cranberries4free]

she has got an awesome voice. she blew me away, wow :-)

[sunsetsncarcrashes]

I think the fact that there are so many different interpretations of the song out there proves that nobody really knows for sure what the song is actually about....which in my opinion makes the song that much better.

[tsg4216]

Simplemente Hermosa!!!! Bella Bella Bella

[theworldisabook]

This song is about the fact that Sarah married her best friends ex. Look it up.

[Crawfish0601]

Even if, Ashwyn and Sarah became a couple AFTER Ashwyn and Sarahs best friend had seperated...

Sarahs ex is still a member of the band, Ashwyns ex is still Sarahs friend, so what??

Just listen and enjoy her music instead of looking for a special meaning in every songs...

Best new year wishes from Germany,

Kurt

[1795829]

The song actually has nothing to do with dating another man. Sarah's said that it has to do with her always feeling responsible for everyone else around her. And Adia she picked because she liked the sound of it.

[deppy3]

amazing song.........

[vertetrouge]

Somebody explain these lyrics to me. My simple male brain is stumped. Her voice is awesome...I could listen to her forever.

[BaNGLaAAaa]

about her dating her friend boyfriend

[lhnawnaw]

bzaf 3lia hadchi =)

[Marithestrange]

I love this song and this version!!!! beautiful!!

[treg1980]

Sarah is live even better than on record!
