  • Roberta Flack's version was the best. So says me and Clint Eastwood. But to each their own :) It's still an incredible song.

  • why does he look and sound like a "GIRL"

  • MR. CASH HAS THE BEST VERSION OR ROBERTA FLACK

  • i like leona lewis's ...

  • No way that Celine has the best version, as soulful as the delivery was in this cover, she just didn't have the impact that Roberta's original had in it's day ...

  • Josh version is better <3

  • what i can say...impresionable

  • As for me, the best version is Roberta Flack's. Celine Dion's version has cut these three lines at the end of the song:

    "And I knew our joy would fill the earth

    And last till the end of time my love

    It would last till the end of time my love"

    So that's why I will always prefer Roberta Flack's version.

  • no dout roberta flack and celine dion's versions are good but the stereophonics with jools holland is outstanding but then i love all three versions and have them on my I-pod

  • @jk1944 Agreed, she sang this song straight from her soul, no pretence, she wasn't even trying, just being.............

  • jk1944: agreed

  • Celine Dion has a very unique and very nice voice. Excellent singer. Roberta Flack is in her own league. But SORRY and seriously... GEORGE MICHAEL SINGS THIS SONG THE BEST!!! So tender that you could actually feel your heart melting in your hands....

  • probably not in the Top 10 best versions. poor.

  • all those arguing over whose version is the best is bullshit and all depends on personal tastes DUH

  • i agree

  • I said it before pound for pound no processed effects reverb ect... roberta flack blows celine away. Just the truth

  • Johnny Cash is better!

  • Mmmmm,i love me some Orlando Bloom <3

  • the song says it all

  • kelly jones of stereophonics singing this is amazing

  • who cares what version it is of the song.....look at the pictures!!!!!!! (i drooled a lil' on my keyboard)

    excellent choice of songs for such a lovely man.

  • "Back in 2006 Leona was a nobody"... what the hell??

    What has that got to do with anything? Wow some people are really born stupid. E.g. The person who had written the comment and his/her 18 disciples of moronville

  • If you really want to here the Best version of this song Roberta Flack did the absolute greatest version of this song!

  • @Mobhitmusic

    I agree!

  • Haha this is silly. I clicked in thinking, hmm maybe Orlando is actually singing. Nope. Google "Orlando Bloom Ruined Everything". :P

    Also, Edward Cullen isn't real and will never love you.

  • Found a version that reasonably competes with Celine Dion - Matt Cardle on X-Factor.

  • by all means...johnny cash's version is the best and most heart warming...check it out...you will cry

  • Did you say Celine Dion recorded the best version of "The First Time Ever I saw Your Face"? You should be immediately euthanized!

  • kerrsmith2306: You say Celine has the "best version of this song out there"? Then you either have extraordinarily bad taste or have never listened to Roberta Flack sing this.

  • The George Michael cover is very special too!

  • Obviously the version of this  CLASSIC song is purely a matter of your'e own taste. I have always loved Roberta's version followed now closely by George Michaels version and Estha Bennets version, after seeing this clip on the very handsome Orlando I like this version too.

  • should i tell my girlfriend that i secretly watch this video three or four times before i start my day?

  • 3:50 ........ <3

  • i like fool

  • he is hot:$

  • no, no, no, Roberta Flack gives the sexiest, most nuanced rendition of this song.

  • @jk1944 THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!1

  • This song was written by Ewan MacColl and he was a real Communist.

  • this is so funny and bad. i wonder if he ever saw this

  • This version should attract a Capital Sentence. It's murder. Pure and simple.

  • orlando bloom doesn't sound anything like i expected

  • The best...and the original version is by Ewan Macoll. He wrote it for Peggy Seeger, his wife.

  • D0NT READ THIS IT ACHUALLY WORKS!! YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BY THE LOVE OF UR LIFE TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE HOWEVER IF U YOU DONT POST THIS COMMENT TO AT LEAST 3 VIDEOS U WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAY NOW YOU’VE STARTED READING THIS DON’T STOP THIS IS SO SCARY SEND THIS OVER TO 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN UR DONE PRESS F6 AND YOUR CRUSH NAME WILL APPEAR ON THE SCREEN IN BIG LETTERS THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS IT RELLY WORKS

  • I listened to Matt Cardle's version and was cringing almost the whole time through. Anybody who liked his rendition must've been thrown off by his looks or something. What, you got the hots for the guy so bad you couldn't tell this song was out of his league? He looked like a scared rabbit the whole time, was out of key in several places, and completely flat in others. Gimme Roberta, Leona or Celine, but Matt? Please. Have some taste.

  • @joelchummel Man, i´ve read all comments in the videos of Leona, Roberta, Celine annnd matt´s...and i couldn´t agreed more with you!! Thanks for coming with a really smart one. By the way my favorite version is Celine´s though...Wait, i´m seeing there´s a Johnny Cash and Lauryn Hill´s, Gregorian version, my goodness...woul´d i find my grandma´s version too, stop ruining this beutyful song!!

  • Leona Lewis' version is the best and Matt's version is second best! definatley!

  • wow, you should be put to death for putting this song to pictures of this ugly ass man. he looks like a skinny lesbian. ugh!! Song ruined. Oh and Leona's version is the best version though i do love Celine's too.

  • Matt cardle is the best no doubth

  • Matt cardle blows this version into super exellence....Phenomenol voice that guy has...Almost angelic

  • Celine has problems with the S's, and to me that spoilts the effect, sorry. If you make a living out of singing it is important that you can pronounce every letter properly. I like Leona's version in Divas, which is also the one sang by Matt Cardle, so the merit for this version is not his. Not sure who made this version, but it is very good. The best is still the original by Roberta Flack. Unfortunately she, as many other great singers, wouldn't have a chance with today's silly young voters.

  • He can 'come on my face' man he's sexy aha

  • Nothing can compare to Matt's version - he has made the song his own

  • @GinnyGirl53 no it'l always be roberta flacks song!!

  • matt cardle version of this song is the best ever

  • @Theaooa4life

    I totally agree with you, his version is brilliant!

  • @Theaooa4life that´s right... Matt Cardle is a top version

  • @Theaooa4life gimme a fuckin break

  • @Theaooa4life I agree.

  • @Theaooa4life Nope - Johnny Cash and Elvis both did better versions

  • @Theaooa4life thats right ,so emotionel,hy is much better,hello from belgum,nich to talk to you and chare or comments ,sorry i hope you can reat this,

  • @TheEveline1994 i know it is really emotional and yeah nice talk to you aswell :) :)

  • He is so gorgeous and hot

  • Talk about a beautiful face! Wow!

  • my he is a handsome man!

  • What a gay video

  • people have too much free time to make these stupid videos

  • GAY

  • he looks best with long flowing blond hair

  • Orlando has a truly beautiful face, and I could watch this excellent video over and over again. Thanks for putting it together, kerrsmith2306.

  • Wished I was 40 years younger lol. Funny 40 years ago I wished I was 10 years older, lol. Beuatiful video and superp music

  • Orlando Bloom isn't nearly hot enough for this song.

  • this is really creepy....

  • bonooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooo

  • Laura White sang this song look her up ??

  • Omg he is soo hot <'33

  • @popodopolus1000 When do you think he looks the hottest? I think he looks best when his hair is absolutely filthy.

  • @u4ism uuuhhh i think 3:19 , 3:24 and 3:32

  • if i was orlando bloom, then i'd be very afraid of kerrsmith.........hiding behind the bushes.....stealing my underwear.........etc, etc......

  • I don`t know, what I must to write... I cry...

  • nice.

  • voz maravilhosa nos coloca mais perto de Deus em dias tao dificeis

  • Masterfully sang,but no one like Dame Roberta Flack...she's the best version of all!!!

  • voice from Celine Dion,

    is it a live recorded?

    originally by Roberta Flack.

  • @f8e20fm1 Was not originally by Roberta Flack. She only did the most famous version. Roberta, Celine & Leona's versions of this song are all equally beautiful though.

  • Orlando is so handsome..

    i love him..

    especially in TLR...

  • Mmm, Orlando Bloom! My dream husband, right there!

  • ...looks like someone's a little obsessed...

  • Très belle vidéo! Merci! Anne

  • Sarah Billington is only 15 and she does an amazing job

  • Celine does a great job!

    Beautiful

  • Mary Travers of PPand M does a great job with this song.

  • I agree with electricslipper, Mary's rendition is a bit different and I love it. I prefer the later one at the Sydney Opera House over the PPM as a group version but only just.

  • Please the original singer of this song in 1972 is ROBERTA FLACK!!!! HANDS DOWN!

  • Roberta Flack is not the original singer of this song. I think it was Peggy Seegar, Pete Seegar's sister.  The song was written by her husband for/about her. No disrespect but this is the only song ever that every cover has been an improvement. Problem with the original was largely the tempo.

  • @Baz80

    The problem with Seeger's original was that Seeger had a HORRID voice, which was emphasized by the odd chord and tempo changes that Ewan wrote into the original version. One of the very few singers who can successfully sing this in its original chord and tempo is Joan Baez. I agree, every cover has been an improvement over Seeger's.

  • Comment removed

  • I heard this song first time back in 1969 from the album First Take by Roberta Flack and it is the best version of this beautiful song.

  • kerrsmith...: check out PPM. Their version is the best that will ever be done.

  • leona is nowhere close to celine, come on folks..... viva celine

  • whitney houston is the best ever. come on i will always love you.

  • Celine is our generations version of Barbra Streisand

  • Back in 2006 Leona was a nobody.

  • @kerrsmith2306 Ermm.... everyone has to start their career somewhere. What difference does it make?

  • @kerrsmith2306 Leona may have been a nobody, but she is definitely a somebody now, and she has a fantastic voice. Celine is my favorite artist, but Leona's version of this is definitely better!

  • @kerrsmith2306 years ago so was Orlando

  • @kerrsmith2306 whats your point?

  • @kerrsmith2306 Not rly...

  • @Luukiebuukie ur crazy! not in a million could she top celine dion in emotion and voice...pleaz!

  • @Luukiebuukie Jeffrey Gaines has the best cover.

  • @Luukiebuukie Leona's fucking sucked. The best version is matt cardle's no doubt

  • @Luukiebuukie

    watch?v=EdSIlVZhsDw

  • @Luukiebuukie you guys don't know what you are talking about Roberta Flack"s singing was sumptuous! She covered this song superbly.

  • @R383k4h oh i really agree with u perhaps these ppl havent heard roberta sing this u just cant beat it pure quality so beautiful, gives me goosebumbs!!!

  • not wanting to get into any "who's better than who's" war,

    surely if the artist has moved you with their rendition, then that artist has done the song justice and deserves equal merit.

    My personal favourite is Alison Moyet.

  • @Luukiebuukie nah! mat was the best!

  • @Luukiebuukie

    Roberta Flack's version absolutely wipes the floor with either Dion's or Lewis' souless versions. Believe me,I checked. I have heard virtually EVERY version recorded since it was written by MacColl (and YES, I have heard his version too) and NONE compare with Flack's; it's a masterpiece.

  • @Babyhowdy233 YES YES YES....Thank you for saying it exactly as it is. I like the other versions lots but Roberta does is with pure magic.

  • Celine is the Only One who could pull off covering this song! She has the voice of an angel. <3

  • You checked did you? Original is always the best. Roberta Flack's version is the best. Believe me, I know, I checked. hehe. Simple, crisp and beautiful. (CLosely followed by Leona Lewis version) Celine's version is 'over the top' as usual. good voice and all, but way too much singing. Too many notes.

  • The original was by Ewan MacColl, written for his wife Peggy Seeger, great song in almost any version :)
