  • Skye does a wonderful job. As far as the comment below about the "old guy pervert" standing there watching her, it is her father WAYNE DYER, and Skye was appearing on stage with her dad. I wish people wouldn't make negative and suggestive comments without getting the facts first.

  • although this performance is bad, i still click like button to encourage you

  • all you naysayers shut the f up. she's awesome.

    

  • as andy would say on little britain: i dont like it :(

  • absolutely brutal but you see all the saps sitting there taking it in people dont know fuck all about music then again all you morons bought kiss music to and made that clown gene simmons rich ha ha ha this girl really stinks dont care what any ones says stop stop stop it now

  • just terrible God this soooo sad

  • She could have sung it right, but I hate it every time when a singer goes, "With eyes that know the darkness in my sou-ou-oul." They warble all the pure notes that are supposed to be full of emotion to add variety. If anyone who sings that way reads this, please change your singing. You'll find the outcome is much more beautiful.

  • I am an artist and this version of the song touches me like no other. When I feel down and frustrated I play it several times and feel refreshed. She sang it from her heart.

  • eww

  • why is the old guy standing there pervert not for quality of the performance I can see that. I wonder i she ever listened to the song before?

  • canta hermosoooooo!!!!!!!!,nadie lo hace como el autor,porque no tiene los mismos sentimientos

    te felicito darling!!!

  • Breath control, no one seems to have told her anything about HOW to sing.

  • Great voice, but the "creaky" trend every so often doesn't sound that great. One of my favorite songs, and this is a nice cover!

  • That's Dr. Wayne Dyer's Daughter! 

  • People should just appreciate the song. It doesn't matter if she's not perfect at it, no need for bad comments, if you don't like it then just dont watch it:) I think she has talent:)

  • disgusting :/

  • awesome voice :)

  • beautiful!

  • meh....

  • she has a pleasant voice, but her cover wasnt good. she needs way more practice.

  • I think there are too much over-reactions against her. I liked her tenderness.

  • Comment removed

  • :( bad, just bad

  • listen to this version plz T.T watch?v=nkvLq0TYiwI

  • OMG! WHAT HATERS!!! she has a beautiful voice!

  • @smilesbecause Even if she did, she ruined all the charm that the song had simply by the way she likes to draw out notes for no apparent reason.

  • poor poor song.....

  • Thank you for giving me access  to such a beautiful voice.

  • toinks! 1000% no feelings,she's only showing the talent to sing

  • WOW. I don't know how it's possible to murder a beautiful song like this. The lack of musical talent brings to mind the collection of tuneless sound known as the Friday song by Rebecca Black.

  • She suffers for her sanity... Set me free of her singing...!!!

  • she did great....her own version

  • whats this horror?? did the people in the audience commit some sort of crime?

    thats a cruel punishment

  • my God, this girls does not know the meaning of the word "sing". She is often out of tune. No pathos, a completely flat interpretation. Stop her before it's too late.

  • way to shit on a beautiful song that has been widely portrayed towards Vincent Van Gogh's beautiful art

  • I am moved by her performance.. Well done Skye! Never mind whoever thinks otherwise, it's just opinions and tastes that differ... Some of us love what you do because the heart is there.. and your talent offered to us as a gift. Thank you..

  • KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK­KKK

    people on the show, hate the girl are singing. look at the face of the crowd! throw tomatoes! kkkkkkk

  • You have no idea of the feeling or the meaning of the story you are singing. I feel sorry for you as you are a young singer and are actually quite good but who ever told you that this was a good song for you is dreaming.

    Just listen to the original by Don and also Josh Groben does a very good version of it. You will soon see that you need to work on your selling of the story behind the song.. its not all about good pipes. x

  • but i LIKES! :P

  • I want to hear the words not your breathing...

  • @FloWrisk what *inhales* are you *inhales again* talking about?

  • Come on , she do her best, this sung has to be sing by don mc clean. But that does not mean that she does it bad, it is oke. Yust listening to her words and the suffering off vincent, and it does not matter who it sing, it let me cry , and that say enough to me.

  • booooooo!!!

  • having first heard this song on her cd, where she wasn't nervous singing it.. i prefer her version to that of don mclean.. it just depends on what you listen to first I think... bc it just grows on you. Both versions are beautiful, sung by two kind souls.

  • Decent vocal, with attempt at passion that sadly falls short. She needs to work on feeling the song then the vocal and overall performance will follow.

  • terrible

  • No.

  • To all the ignorants and snobs (a more frequent combination than one would think) who have rushed to denigrate this young woman (without probably really listening to her), you are obviously getting everything mixed up here. Of course Don McLean is a fabulously gifted and sensitive songwriter (that I dearly love myself), but I honestly don't think he would have been unhappy with this version. The interpretation here is original, lovely and full of well-assumed feelings. Applause for that singer!

  • @kamufi

    Unfortunately, and also tragically it is part of the end of the USA founding fathers generation, the country is dead and she is just singing on in the death knell to it. This is equivalent of "Miss South carolina" and of course you would not get that because you are part of the retarded degenerate moth ball of crap that some people still call America or whatever you want to call it..........

    You are disgraced.

  • O.o now i under stand i knew he cutted off his ear from my art teacher we did our own stary night picture and learned about him it ashamed that after a fight with his artist friend he cutted off his ear because he was so mad he wanted to do that i wish he was still alive he lived to 30 and died he painted a picture after he cutted off his ear ): poor him

  • Lol, she has no idea.

    Also, this is terrible.

    Go sing some Miley Cyrus, girl, and stay out of the meaningful songs, because you don't know anything.

  • This song is not meant to be sang without a guitar. If you ever want to learn how to play this song, the emotions and the connection you have with this classic song is throught the acoustic sound of the guitar. I don't think she did a terrible job but she did miss the whole point of this song..."just man and guitar" and his soulful music through the life of Vincent Van Gough. Nothing compare to the original version..Need to sing it with a guitar on your lap.

  • horrible. she did not grasp the message of this song

  • Terrible.

  • Comment removed

  • You all don't get it. This is a beautiful song. To be kind is a beautiful way to live life. She is following her passion and I loved it.

  • You all don't get it. This is a beautiful song. To be kind is a beautiful way to live life.

  • where did they get the audience from --the tone deaf society?

  • i feel sick after listening to that

  • I'm not one for calling people trying to sing something they really love and appreciate but this sounded like she'd listened to it, maybe twice.... at a push... and as for the subject matter, does she even know who Van Gogh was???

    Terrible, terrible rendition. =/

  • wow, such a polite audience. I puked on my keyboard. what an affected and constipated interpretation!

  • absolutly crap--her breathing in in between the phrases sounded like darth vader and she has no understanding of the subject of the song, dont give up the day job!

  • Thank god Van Gogh isn't around to hear this he would kill himself.

  • @RicIsGod LAWL

    

  • @pinkirishgoatz If Van Gogh and Don Mclean were in the audience and had to listen to this....who would kill themselves first? I only ask this since you were the only person to get my last comment.

  • Her performance wasn't bad, per se... just vapid and passionless. It comes from not really understanding the subject, and/or his pain. 100 % showboating, 0 % passion.

  • i disagree. i don't know who she is but i think she did a good rendition of the song-- not great but still pretty good.

  • She should be sued for causing potential ear cancer to the people in the audience

  • Its so sad today ANYONE can be a singer....What a lack of soul, what a poor vocal technique, so cold and self-indulgent version... We're lucky Don Mc lean stills between us to remember HOW is to sing an self-made song, and mean every word you sing...

  • she has no idea what that song is about - thumbs down

  • unacceptable

    inadmissible

    intolerable

    impermissible

  • I don't understand people are talking about bad stuff to her vincent van gogh painted a picture called starry starry night he did not live long he only lived till 30 cause he cut off his ear and was very very sick

  • @astrogeoteach He would eat his paint and it had lead in it. My brother could paint like Van gogh he was 41 when he past away.

  • @astrogeoteach He didn't die from cutting off his ear, he tried to commit sucide and shot himself in the chest. It didn't kill him, however 2 days later he got an infection. He was mental and he believed his whole life was a failure. His brother, Theo had his art afterwards and then he died 6 months later and his wife recived the art and she did something with it (I forget, sorry) and he became famous. Truly inspiring. <3

  • what a horrible version of this song , sorry fucking horrible(pardon my french )

  • talnted i have a friend call sara she sings this she has a amazing i cryed when she sang she mad everyone cry

  • Well, she didn't listen.

  • I enjoyed hearing she singing. I don't understand how this video has so many people talking bad about her. Thanks.

  • this is perfect..........the best cover.........

  • Comment removed

  • No matter how well intentioned it is very hard to improve on an original classic. Very brave effort.

  • ugh..

  • shes a fucking butcher lol

  • She Great! I love the way she sings this song. I'm an Artist, and I cannot get over some of these comments here, but there is no way these people would ever understand passion or true inspiration, and to me they are what is ugly in this world, and I feel sorry for them.

  • @dakotamontgomery1 just that your an artist does not mean you understand good music and how it is to be sang.

  • She Great! I love the way she sings this song. I'm an Artist, and I cannot get over some of these comments here, but there is no way these people would ever understand passion or true inspiration, and to me they are what is ugly in this world, and I feel sorry for them.

  • This song means more to me than any song in existence - it describes the pain and suffering of Schizophrenia with beauty and eloquence. My aunts took their lives because of this disease.

    This version really pisses me off for some reason. If you are going to sing a song with such serious, painful subject matter, PLEASE know what you are singing about, and bring it to the song. 

  • What the hell is this? Nice butchering of this beautiful song.

  • the thing is she's good but she's going fast and it makes it sound like a pop song.

  • Ah you're all just envious lol.. Seriously now does she really think she can sing?

  • why is she smiling? this is not a happy song...this is not a pop song

  • Absolutely horrible. Ughhhhh....No offense, but the person need to take vocal lessons.

  • She needs to be taught how to breathe before she ever goes on stage again. She has potential, but that's all. She's not feeling it; just using voice techniques that don't play with the lyrics. A pity.

  • and she moves so fast left and right that the cameraman keeps losing her!

  • terrible cover!!!! terrible!!! she killed this song

  • she has a lovely voice ... 

  • if you listen to what she is saying, she has a problem with the letter N. she says ot, it should be NOT.

  • @kissmyarse1541 I heard "Not".

  • oh my god, this song is not meant to be sung like that!

  • No lady, you don't understand what he tried to say to you.

  • @pinkirishgoatz probably more than you do ,her old man would have seen to that.

  • @ireallylovegod Do you have any idea what you are talking about? Learn to internet.

  • Comment removed

  • @pinkirishgoatz Do you even know who she is, or who her dad is,she was born into this songs subject matter ,as daughter of wayne dyer of course she knows what it means ,you plonker , what a nasty thing for you to say about her just for your cheap ego boost ,she understands, you probably never will,mores the pity ,i'm gone i'll leave it to the haters,love you really....maybe youre not listening,maybe you never will

  • @ireallylovegod And what does her father have to do with the art of Vincent Van Gogh? Or Van Gogh at all? By the way, ever heard of a guy named Don McLean? Doesn't seem like it.

  • she has an ok voice but, this does no justice to the song by any means.

  • They are totally bored

  • way to ruin a great song.

  • @Hahren don't be mean :(

  • i actually want to burn her corpse she fucking sucks you cannot under any circumstances insult don mclean and this is what this is a pure insult it fucking suckkkkkkkkkssssssss

  • The Don Mclean original is such a masterpiece that it's best left uncovered. kestrel 1973: on behalf of sentimental Americans everywhere we offer you a collective "bite me".

  • Those lunatics looking at you say it all. Very sad american sentimentalised shite!

  • indeed, why...? :S

  • that's not the look of a moved audience, all i see is disappointment and rightly so

  • AHHHH, what have i just subjected my ears to.

    Don McLean, SAVE ME!

  • ego tries to subdue art. fails.

  • Who says this is a bad cover. I see someone in the audience grabbing a knife....life imitating art!

  • @RicIsGod Hilarious comment.

  • 0:22 wtf?

  • @JimReaper24 LOL

  • Wrong song for her... It's a song for feeling and reflection-not for performance and if it's going to be approached it should be done with humility.. not in a "look at my talent" format. 

  • @Closeoutracer You got that right

  • gaudy young twat--who knows nothing about music, phrasing, depth, does she know who van gogh was? buy some books sweeheart, research then you just maybe you may sing this song with the aplomb and feel it deserves!

    Now can i have a big mac a fries to go --please

  • This is probably the only exception to the rule, "Even bad publicity is good publicity".

  • Ya know... Vincent was an impressionist.This wasn't the greatest vocal I have ever heard, but I had no trouble getting the "impression" of the original.It's a great song.She did a nice job on this and she deserves a little appreciation for her interpretation.Everybody  who gets drunk and watches the "Tube" needs to lay off their unqualified, negative critiques.Myself included.I clicked on this and listened to the whole song,never batting an eye thinking she fucked up.

  • @rowellbeej01 She is god awful, want a qualified opinion? Listen to any line that starts with a "p" as any singer who has any skill whatsoever knows to hit a soft "p" at that point otherwise it sounds...well like she sounds.

  • @AngelsHaveDemons Good ear mate

  • Wow fantastic!

  • Bad

  • shit !!!!!!!!!!!

  • Okey so she is not that good and she did not make it into Americas's talent, and she does move back and forth and perhaps she needs to learn to sing but she is her fathers pride and joy and so are all our daughters. My daughter can sing absolutely beautiful voice but she is too darn shy to sing. Fame and great fortune doesn't intrigue my girl she is meek and loves the hard working class like herself. so this woman sings for her dad that is fine with me. I have a voice but am too darn shytoo

  • No.

  • horrible

    terrible

  • bollocks!

  • CRAP!

  • This song was never meant for one as BORING as you !

  • arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

  • Good voice, stays on key.  But she needs to stop rushing the tempo. Needs to stop breathing into the mic. Needs to stop moving around, and stand still. Maybe she's nervous. She seemed nervous to me. If she's new to performance than she's probably doing an okay job. Mostly just needs to relax and let her music speak for itself.

  • She has a pretty voice but I think she was trying too hard to make it her own, for lack of a better term. Not bad but not fantastic either :/

  • I really don't see what you are all complaining about..she sounds great..and why judge someone who is doing something positive? Judge those who are doing wrong..not those who are doing something that is meaningful and kind...

  • i think the letters in the bottom corner say everything ...WHY?? at least the music's nice

  • Everyone does not sing like Mariah Carey, it's doesn't mean you can't sing. She sound nice.

  • that dumb bitch ruined the fucking song making th notes too long and slurring the fucking notes!!!!!!!

  • yikes CRAP

  • Not one person in the crowd looks entertained...

    ouch.

  • This Lady Skye is so beautiful and then when she opens her mouth,  the sound that comes out lights the world with beauty. rabodhi@gmail

  • Good Singer????????????????????? where were you hatched. She is awful.

    Notice Mott the Hoople at 21:00. The audience look like they were tricked aint seeing her at the last moment. Some of these people look really pissed. Her voice is flat.

  • the audience is so bored. i loled at 2:52. the girl in the audience literally had to wake herself up.

  • listen to chloe agnew now she does a awesome job

  • OMG

    This is too painful; she ruined this iconic song.

    Her voice doesn't have the range or emotion this song needs.

  • i think this is very good so u haters keep hatin, my dance school did a dance to this exact song sang by this girl and everything, and it was amazing every1 loved it.

  • i like!!! :)

  • horribleeeeee she should kill herself nothing like don mclean

  • ruined the song

  • bollocks!one of the greatest songs ever written completly ruined.i bet she doesnt even know who the song is about

  • @boozybassplayer or who sang it originally

  • Who is this girl? I like her voice

  • What is this girl's name? She has an amazing voice!

  • Excellent!

  • She has nice voice, no question about that, but a good singer knows how to choose his/her piece. she made no justice with the song, she made it sound like a pop song and not the legendary heartfelt song as it is written and sung by don mclean. even Josh Groban's rendition is nothing compared to the original. maybe try singing Mariah or Rihanna, maybe those will suit you best.

  • my god don't do this.

  • Oh My God!!! WTF??????

  • way to fuck up a beautiful piece of art I mean she didnt sound bad but she totally did not understand what she was singing the only person that should sing that song is don mclean

  • certainly.

  • im tryin to understand what you try to say to me..am listening..but Don Mclean is simply the best and he gets the emotions out, in the proper song mood.

  • She has a nice voice, but the song is not meant to be sung like that.

  • Comment removed

  • horrible

  • @DesertEagle404 i'll go one better, fucking horrible!

  • @JimReaper24 ah yes ...not the best

  • hmmmm. the orginal is much better.

  • she is terrible

  • @Adelaideboiisgay tell that to half the audience with tears in their eyes and the look on her father's face.

    You are one sad, miserable individual.

  • thank you for choosing this song, of all of them out there, to sing

  • It's wayne dyer's daughter

  • Haha I understand both sides of the argument in the comments here.

    The girl is a very good singer, but the song lends better to folk-style. It is not meant to be sang as a pop song.

    ^_^

  • BRAVO GIRL,, i listened to it four times,,,,damn there's a lot of jealous people in here,,hiding behind thier computers

  • This lady sucks, and so does everyone who rates this comment bad.
