Sarah McLachlan singing Blackbird live

[bboooobbyy]

If you don't realize that Sarah mclachlan ranks among the best singer-songwriters of all time you can go fuck yourself. Her voice sends shivers down my spine

[PatchSG]

wow, a bad video of a bad remake of a song. pretty bad.

[holiday07]

i love this. I have almost forgotten how big a fan of I am of Sarah.

[beauter12345]

j'adore cette chanteuse bravo

[purplebaboons78]

this is amazingg :O

[giligara30492]

She has a beautiful voice. One of the most modest covers of a Beatles song that I've seen. She transposed up because her voice is obviously higher than Paul's. Nice job overall. Stuck almost completely to the original, which I find to be quite impressive.

[darost]

Paul was a trumpet player and usually tunes his guitar one whole step down; hence, for example, Yesterday in is F but he plays it in G.

[iSkate131]

F to G is a whole step up.

[lkjhgfdsa954]

lol thas what i was thinkin....yuppp

[rafalweb]

Seems totally out of sync. Nice anyway.

[cubsfan4life112]

so many people have covered it but if u like any of the covers listen to the original none of the covers can touch what the beatles did

[UTo098]

thats what you think

and i agree

[6leafdom]

so true...no one can express the song better than the songwriter himself

[LucieLovesMusic]

leben shleben

[puretroubleman]

what if the song writer can't sing.

[PauleQueenie]

I never thought of it, I thought all song writers could sing.

[Dravenswraith]

people argue about bob dylan ..ie songs like "to feel my love" that he cant sing the song but writes it better idk

[akayk]

I was at this concert. She was amazing and I met some great people in the audience.

[1peoplesun]

i love this tune so much ive recorded a version if anyone would like to listen

the guitar does not speed up like in this one

Beatles forever x

[c00per69]

c flat

[RexNunc]

uh Cflat is B, and this is in A (440), the original is in G.

[smitre4422]

does anyone know what key signature this is in?

[RexNunc]

the key is A, the original is in G

[scottzona]

If your really want to hear a great cover of this song, listen to Sylvester's version recorded live in 1979 with The Two Tons (Martha Wash and Izora Rhodes -- The Weather Girls) doing back-up. It was released on Sylvester's Living Proof cd. It's brilliant!

[bunchie1966]

This has been covered by so many artists; wish I could write a song that so many people want to sing.

[qtonic]

Yes it's a great song. My favorite cover is CSN.

[rhfcj]

love it it rocks

[ondalolol]

fantastic... love this song. Encourage everyone to try to playing it in the guitar with the window opened for the street with a some feminine voice on front with an idyllic setting... I'ld love to do it, but I luck the voice! I know someone who have it... but I didn't have the chance/guts to ask her.

[rabidbunnytail]

I would love it if i heard someone playing this, I would definitely sing for them, lol XD. Good comment, haha. ^___^

[ourpeacelacedagony]

haha I've heard people playing this during classes at school and you can't help but hear the whole class start singing! =D

[zxcffkpo]

I like the beatles better. I'm sorry to say, much better. But Sarah is awesome.

[roflmao12]

no shit sherlock...lol

[hellochuckhellohello]

thank you watson

[bigblockfighter]

truly beautiful

[orianadreams]

Ok, this is lovely, but why oh why do people always have to yell? Can we have music without screaming? Geez.

[number1covers]

I agree. People used to yell like crazy when my band played our Beatles cover "Lucy in the Sky" (see my youtube page) out at the bars.

We got tired of all that noise and stopped playing live shows. Now we just record for our internet fans.

[desol89]

omg ur right!! call the cops!!! we got an illegal recording on the loose!

[MyselftoRibbons]

C'mon, its called America.

[Reinpret]

this is probobly nothing compared to what the Beatles went through. Side note, she's a pretty talented broad.

[freeteenspirit77]

perfect cover..

[Knealzoinks]

beautiful song nicely covered.

Idiotic audience. Its a lovely peaceful quiet song, and theyre screaming like fucking idiots.

[r246a]

hahaha

[grayfox2k]

totally

[onebadmoto]

@Knealzoinks how dare them enjoying themselves

[DeadlyKisses282]

Wow she did a great job with this song. I was afriad for a moment but I had to give her a chance she does have a beautiful voice.

[ChronoMagnium]

I gotta admit, she did a beautiful cover of that song. Still, nothing beats the original version.

The Jesse McCartny version, however, killed my soul.

[opalescentscales]

oooo don't even get me started on Jesse McCartney! :P *makes retching sounds*

[countrygirlx89]

Hehe I totally agree :)

The Jesse version made me wince in horror.

My choir teacher would give him a talking to..

[freakshowamigos]

she's amazing-but...come on'....only the beatles can make it work....but...i do luv this lady! her voice is amazing!

[luvmusic2much]

i love this song♥ she is the best omg her voice is soo good :)♥♥♥♥

[kirawurster]

beatles rock all the way no one can comeclose to there original.

[wattaschvatski]

i love her

[Ravie13]

What is Redline?

[BrtshAmerican6]

does anybody know what song she played in redline? I really want to know because Im having a wedding soon and i would love for it to be in it. its a love song that I know its by her, but i cant find it anywhere. Thanks and please message me if you do know

[RedmerJ]

sorry man dunno what redline is, only know the original song

Paul McCartney - Blackbird

I hope the wedding aint started :P

[speller24]

She did really good! I like her cover of this!

[Ravie13]

Check out the version by Evan Rachael Wood in "Across the Universe"

[jessevszac]

i love this song

she is good

i love jmacs versiona also

and the beatles

i love the beatles

they r awsome

[cdftaurus]

Sorry. You are right. I was drunk and bitter the other night. I actually love Sarah.

[cdftaurus]

who would go to a Sarah McLachlan concert? You could sleep at home for free

[0obunnyrabbito0]

lmao thats fucked up she has a pretty voice though

[bigdjindustriez]

Right on man, I Don't care if you were drunk haha. I Can sleep at home and watch lesbians on my computer, except they actually look half decent. She needs to come out of the closet, it's so blatently obvious it's not funny. And for the record, things you say when you're drunk are the things you really mean.

[bradvuke]

i like it, better then jesse macartys

[chafoa]

actually grammer is spelled jgrammar. the j is silent.

[ctrlaltf]

Actually; "grammer" is spelled Grammar.

[fitz684]

Get this crap of the tube.

[allthingslucid]

Ur, the video is not in synch with the sound!!!!

[meilo87]

light travels faster than sound...therefore causes this. bad quality too... :(

[Ravie13]

That's a common issue with YouTube because the frame rate of flash video and the frame rate of the audio is different.

[boomxx123]

love it

[sinjim50]

I have played & sang this song a million times,I am the world's biggest Beatle fan, & Sarah, this version is sooooo beautiful-just like you !

[ericcamp]

Lets see her play it while singing it like the beatles did.

[vslsubspam]

her version sounds way better. her voice resonates inside the soul and with an understanding soothing wink and pained smile

[dramachick1525]

are you joking? it sounds the same except that she's a woman. and dont get me wrong. i love sarah mclachlan, but you can never compare her to the extraordinary genius of lennon/mccartney.

[croblesky]

Everyone has their opinion. Some people think the Beatles version is better, some think Sarah's cover is better. Personally, I think Sarah's version is much better.

[blacksoul55555]

<3

[redhotchild]

This is a better version than the original one. What a wonderful voice.

[martinaxman]

Not really. Give the original a listen. Also consider that the original is a solo. Guitar and vocals are done by one person.

[RoufalianOrange]

"Also consider that the original is a solo. Guitar and vocals are done by one person."

Doesn't matter. What sounds good sounds good.

But of course, it's an art. There's no definite definition of "good".

[jeannie52487]

love her sound...unlike any other!

[9jar9]

it not hers it the Beatles

[jeannie52487]

not the song...her sound-meaning all of her music, her voice, etc...

[subhomalien]

how come nobody commented?

well i'll do it. great, great cover

[sangsta101]

sory but nobody can messure up to the beetles sorry but no.and wats with all these perverts saying the love her and stuff i meen seriously.there just bunch of NERDS wanting to go out with her cuz they play games all day!its gay u mother lickers!tard heads wake up she suks badly and she aint good as the beetles.

[ghbert]

how come you're so sure that EVERYBODY play games all day? i don't, for example. and how come it's gay to comment to a "beatles cover" ahahahahah. "she aint good as the beatles" (ooops sorry, you wrote beetles. i should have written that in the quote, huh?)... so what? who cares? she sings good anyways

[mesing323]

She isn't trying to measure up to the "Beetles". She's just giving her own take on a great song. She has so much talent, I just wish you would realize that.

[lllbbb441]

Your obviously not a Sarah fan so why are you here, go insult somebody else with you bad spelling and grammer!

"she suks badly,and she aint good as the beetles""

[Robkat3751]

What's up with your spelling and grammer? And it is spelled "Beatles".

[ctrlaltf]

Actually; "grammer" is spelled GRAMMAR.

[xoxpaynex]

haha way to be smartass and be a dumbass at the same time
