sarah mclachlan - world on fire live

[planes3333]

when the columbine massacre happened she was going to sue the school for not getting copywrite permission becuase they used " in the arms of the angel" she also ripped off a friend of a friend here in vancouver canada...............with that sai she sure is a damn good songwriter and singer

[bristar007]

she has an incredible heart...i think her popularity of generally somber music is due to unique talent a a huge heart. her hair and make-up are not good here :(

[blursquid]

Lovely woman, lovelier voice, loveliest heart...

[swellyn1]

feels rather appropriate for today..

[SpinDoctor91]

@swellyn1

songs like these are always appropriate,that's the beauty of it. :)

[gene2u]

Good job, Sarah, and glad you sang this song *live* instead of lip-syncing or auto-tuning.

[OylerMBox]

the World is still on FIRE, and it probably won't stop, but the World and I, still love you Sarah MC :)

Get out from Canada an Usa tours Only, make an International tour soon :D

[MsNellybird]

I read some comments, and people

It's not ABOUT HER VOICE! Her voice is amazing, but are you READING this? You call it DUMB, you say they need to bring it DOWN TO EARTH, but how is this not down to earth? THIS IS TRUE IN EVERY SINGLE FREAKING WAY!

Yes, I know her voice is beautiful, she can sing well, sure, the song has good lyrics.but are you WATCHING? Are you LISTENING to the REAL meaning of this?

This video shows what we've done wrong.

And what we're going to do right from now on, hopefully.

[MsNellybird]

Am I the only one who feels this happy to cry?

This video is inspiration to us all. This video could change almost anyones mind who's destroying the world with their selfish needs.

[karibrasuka]

Did she spend 15 dollars to make that video? I could have done it for free with the Windows Movie Maker if she had asked me to! hahah (sorry about my english)

I love her, THAT'S WHY i love her. She's an example!

[Failp0p]

@karibrasuka Electricity for your pc, food for one day $15

[energeez]

this was kinda dumb lol. this show needs a little coming down to earth. good voice though.

[macoroni9933]

Alot lol

[V4NlTY]

How much does Oprah earn a year?

[texaspete66]

she is sexy in every way. every single way.

respect sarah px

[AdamLambertsCool]

i did an assignment on this song today at school. this song really changed my percectif of other parts of the world and im sooo lucky that i live here in Canada and how much people take for granted its unbelieveable

[ZegZag16]

Beautiful SonG ! ♥♥♥

[natgab29]

soooo beautiful -very full,soft and lyric high mezzosoprano voice

[merkywave]

shes my GF

[realmclennyd]

wow that cool not only can she play the piano but she play the guitar as well anyone that can sing a beautiful song on a 15.00 video and turn it into a masterpiece is awesome .

[dingostar2620]

you are so right =)

[Sugarbunny6666]

I hear this song everywhere but I didn't realize it was her. I like her!

[papadude55]

awsome...mmmmmmmmmmmuah

[dimel6O]

WOW!

May we all do our share to make a difference!

[Changes4TheBetter]

Beautiful woman with a Awesome Heart...

An example 4 us all...

trio

[bethgirl1986]

she probably has a sponsorship with Taylor, and they may have even given her the guitar. Even if she paid for it, she still donated $150,000 to various causes, which is probably $150,000 more than you have donated. Don't be such a hater...

[SpiderB52]

i love your song and your guitar.. happy

[Marixpress]

<3 goddess

[741362]

Support those who support peace!

Support those who support the environment!

Support those who support free speech!

Be brave like  Oprah and Sarah Mclachlan who speak out against abuses.

[SpaAngel]

I saw this on Oprah and I was so moved. Simply beautiful and touching.

[wheeva]

Oprah + Sarah = _O_ _O_

[HANNERSBANNERS18]

omg i love this song

we preformed this song at my skwel concert

[FantasticFour2132]

All u people can me put down on all those previous comments, but u all know I am right

[champagnehyu]

Whites aren't racist? What? Anybody can be racist, regardless of your ethnicity.

Anyways, amazing video.

[FantasticFour2132]

i didn't say that anyone could be racist regardless of ethnicity

[insomnia80s]

love sarah mclachlan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!

[queAyai]

Just another reason to love Sarah.. big fan and always will. Her album has never disappointed me yet.

[JessyFerrari]

First I wanna say that Sarah is one of the best singers I've ever heard.

I couldn't make a comment without mentioning something about the fights in here (this chart). AT LEAST there are people who help and make a move. Cause if those poor africans had to wait for people like those idiots who only complain and argue, they'd never have even a chance..

[lictor313]

my argument is that sending money to artificially sustain these africans only makes them reproduce and create many times the amount of mouths to feed and medication to deliver...

[FantasticFour2132]

Take that back! Sarah is awesome, she is the greatest....and Oprah the money didn't just go to women all over the world, it helped millions of people(men too, not just women and children) over in africa......

[FantasticFour2132]

I must have heard wrong. Did Oprah say that Sarah help over 1 million children all around the world. I thought it was 1 million people. And I thought she helped people in Africa.

[cowboysevilla21]

bes song ever..makes me cry :( the fortune of one man means less for some best quotation

[lictor313]

good song, but honestly, why is the music business filled with crazed leftist yelps that the "rich nations" (that means you, dumbass) must reduce their own standard of living so that they can give trillions of dollars to the "poor nations" (and that means billions of negroids, congoids, and other biological detritus) to help them "save the planet" (by breeding faster)?

the only pollution from which the planet needs to be saved is the horrible overpopulation by billions of vocal anthropoids

[archangel357]

Yes, let's come into a thread where people try to enjoy some uplifting music, and try to spoil it by posting pseudocientific racist rubbish.

Retard.

[lictor313]

pseudo scientific? really? it is a fact is it not that preserving the life of an increasing number of sub saharan africans will have the only effect of artificially increasing their numbers: thus increasing the number of mouths to feed (at our expense OF COURSE!).At this stage in history, by 2040, the globe will be populated by 9.5 billion anatomically human creatures (the outstanding majority of which will be extremely poor). we're already at a bare minimal subsitance level, this is suicidal

[dcammo123]

um... perhaps ignorance is staring you in the face and won't stop slapping so you whimper in the corner..... There are ways to live with nature, as opposed to against it. Of course this planet will not be able to accomodate that many people, that's because of our lifestyle. Nature does for us free, what we couldn't do with all the money in the world!

[lictor313]

? was that supposed to be a refutation of some sort? Your calling me a coward for dealing honestly with an impending world catastrophe?

Our lifestyle has sustained the growth and terrible multiplication of the third world at our expense. Once we realize that we need to cut off all AID.

[Yayooo1984]

yeah ur right....make ur move and kill urself as a START.....

think harder to provide urself with a better solution then to say idiotic thing like that

Long live third World nation.....after all u come to our beaches ;)

[lictor313]

yeah but Turd-Worlders die daily to get to OUR countries...

[Yayooo1984]

have u ever heard of slow invasion???hehe

i hope ur well aware that foreigners in europe"as of african,asian,and spanish"represent 10% of the active population without counting the illegal..and in the USA,mexican will represent like 25% of the US population hehe go figure in 50 years,i think ur family name will change to n'boma or suarez or to kadafi who knows? and we go to work in ur country but u come to rest in ours so like i said make a place to another person and commit suicide..good luck

[lictor313]

that's exactly right... and all that that will do is make our country more like the third world from which these masses of biological garbage or racial refuse are fleeing from.

A non white future leads straight to the Calcutta's, the Mumbai's the Mexico cities, the Tikrits, the Shanghais, the Johannesbourgs etc....

already, the hispanic parts of the US are turning into cesspits of savagery, dearth and corruption... what will it look like when they become a majority?

[Yayooo1984]

the response to the white man's act....in another way...the punishment u will "white man" get for all that u have done to the third wold country....welcome to reality man.....enjoy life while u still can

peace out racist

[FantasticFour2132]

whites aren't fucking racist dude, and i am talking about the present

[Yayooo1984]

the response to the white man's act....in another way...the punishment u will "white man" get for all that u have done to the third wold country....welcome to reality man.....enjoy life while u still can

peace out racist

[lictor313]

Oh I see some supernatural element in the world is punishing the decedents of the white man (who are actively trying to ameliorate and help the wretched refuse of the third world)interesting... Well go ahead and get the rest of what little future this earth still has.

Its only going to get worse with billions of anthropoid Turd world vermin running the tools that white civilization created...

and you thankless cunts can't even express some gratitude... disgusting.

[Yayooo1984]

ur talking about gratitude...first of all lets make it clear i am lebanese..consider it a third world country is an honour for me...u white man...start from the begining of trade..u started slavery,then conquest by invading other rich country with ressources to improve ur land...then invading other country for petrol so u can run ur market....my friend sorry for what i will say but FUCK ur services...i can't whip my ass with it..reading ur last comment is the disgusting thing..re-check history..

[lictor313]

actaully, about slavery: it began with the ancient Sumerians, then after: the Babylonians, then The Egyptians, then after The Carthaginians, then the Persians, then the Berbers THEN THE europeans... Actually slavery started before 6500 BC (but the first recorded organized slave industries began in Mesopotamia and the Levant states... then spread to north Africa.

You see there's a institution called a library, its a great way to acquire important datum on the historical record...

[Yayooo1984]

haha my friend i dont know whether ur incredibly smart or incredibly dumb..ur comparing urself to a bunch of paiens who use to live like 6000 years ago...my man i am talking to modern time...to time when people use to practise slavery in the presence of humans right not to time when u could kill to make ur pride...i am talking from 100 years...dont worry my friend ur institution called library doesnt give u datum like this in the contrary they tell u that u freed them..isnt it??

[FantasticFour2132]

Dude, fucking idiot, doesn't matter what the fuck ur talking about wether u were talking about slavery that happened 100 years ago, or over 6,000 years ago, it doesn't matter slaver has been around for thousands of years....

[FantasticFour2132]

we did not start slavery, slavery has been around for hundreds of years. remember the Hebrews were slaves for the Ancient Egyptians

[FantasticFour2132]

its true people, slavery has been around for hundreds of years

[Yayooo1984]

continued...and about invading third world countries???no comment??didnt see anything in ur library about it??...don't worry i dont blame u..after all...ur practising salvation right??pffffff man think clearly...god gave u a mind to use it...i suggest u use it

[thoops6]

Nice rant. However, you must be confused. Sarah's not telling anyone to stoop to lower living standards, she's simply saying "she's doing her share" and that we should do ours. Whether that;s simply donating 50$ to an NGO or volunteering. I often wonder why so many Neocons are quick to jump on lefty artists.

[lictor313]

neocon? well no not really. And Sarah's doing her part on the "we owe the third world something" Western self hatred guilt complex bandwagon... that's all... little more then self flogging and Utopian thinking...

[Ponch]

musician like Sarah really inspired me to do something right with my music. go Sarah !

[nicholaswright2006]

"to help over 1 million women and children around the world"

huh? I thought it was 1 million PEOPLE.

Oh I'm sorry, you're a man, you can't get Sara Mclachlan's money.

I don't know if this was a slip-up by Oprah or not, but it kind of irked me. meh.

[paradoxical200]

Amazing!

[paradoxical200]

I got chills listening to and watching this. Still one of my favorite Sarah songs of all time.

Can't wait for the next album!!!!

[FantasticFour2132]

I loved this performance so much. Sarah McLachlan is awesome.

[psychofish4444]

vt ur an idiot

[vti814ce]

Whats even more stupid is that while big Papa Oprah sits around passing out careers to all her disciples like Gayle and the little queer designer she could take that same money and do what Sara does, Oprah is fake, Sarah is a great humanitarian, Oprah wont do anything unless there's camera's.

[gabecollett]

loox at Oprah, standing th efront row as if she owns everyone

what a ridiculous person

oh well,one helluva marxeter, even if everything she said is without fact--ie how does she now the money went, etc

oh well, is it better a world without or without orpah same as bill gates-money cant buy integrity or reality

nice song, though, beautiful lady, McLaughlin, Scots-Irish I guess

[TaylorB95]

Sarah herself has said that she chose to make the video for $15 and used the remaining to fund the various causes promoted in the video. The point has nothing to do with Oprah, it has to do with each individual having the power to make a difference. And it's McLachlan and she's from Nova Scotia...Canada.

[8data]

you got me

McLachlan

its a great effort

and I will stop criticizing her

shes a great artist, classy lady, good song and ill stop hating

happy new year, Paul Farmer and you are inspiring

maybe Ill get off my ass and do something about the world and stop complaing -)

[8data]

i stand corrected

new years resolution-dont be a jerx in 2008

have a good one TaylorB95

best, gabriel

[lamador27]

A little distrusting, are you not? Sarah and Oprah are flawless compared to your grammatical skills.

[ChiSoxer]

I think what Sarah has done is great. But why does Oprah make a point that the money went to women and children around the world? That seems a wee bit sexist to me. Tear down the barriers, don't re-enforce them.

[Rossjordan81]

give me the money

[UChewbANNA]

what about the people and children starving in Oprahs own country - charity begins at home.

[crosswinds22]

Once again, thank you for sharing your unique selections. Always nearby, L~

[jeshcuantiquez]

i didnt cry,,

i just wept,,

:P

[Nicxroom]

Makes me wanna give my wages to these countries I dont earn alot but im going to uni soon and will be working for Intel a major company hopefully be on good wages so instead of having a fancy car and a big house im gunna havea one bedroom flat and a small car and give the rest to these poor countrys!!! and I hope other people can do the same

[Yohtarama]

Who else cried?

[TakerFan72]

I did, believe it.Goddess Bless, Sarah!!!

[TheDarkestDaze]

I did. Very powerful message, and hopefully it will make more people care.

[oehieze]

Kinda sad that people like these two women exist and yet we give more attention to dumb white whores like Paris Hilton

[RedDeLorean]

So True

[JuaAlda]

Si comentarios como el tuyo se multiplicaran eso haria un cambio

[barevhayerable]

@oehieze I think it also must be in life

to love honored, heartful, beautiful, fantastic women like this

and not to give attention to that money eater toys

[xMizZgUudY2shooZx]

this is awesome!!!

[terencehughes]

it is wonderful that somone with such good fortune is able to give back to the world. how fortunate to have beings in this world like her,

[tikidikidoo]

You are so right. Sarah is a beautiful soul.

[ellen8w]

it is true that how much one gives is relative to their overall wealth. it doesn't mean if you give a lot to charity you have to live like a frugal monk. the point is she gives A LOT and possibly more than anyone of us will do in this lifetime. =)there are people who spends all they have but refuse to give a cent.

[harcke]

Why are some people so critical of those who give?

[moderndayprincess]

because thats a way to encourage everyone to give those who are in need.

[Latinbullets]

People should follow these woman's steps. It reminds me of U2. I really love their music and many social causes they have embraced but somehow I feel that somtimes They do this Only to gain more fans. And to be "nice". But I feel that Bono has become some sort of a clown lately. We don't need him to be bringing these speeches at th UN or the US congress or the European Union. We demand from people like Bono to do things like Sarah McLachlan's

[Latinbullets]

What Sarah McLachlan did is what many famous should be doing right now Because average people like US need theses examples from public people like Oprah and Sarah.

[Latinbullets]

Oprah is a GREAT WOMAN...

And Sarah McLachlan is beautiful inside and outside

[nique18]

they are doing such a great thing for those people who a less fourtonate and i hope the world changes cause peverty is such a sad thing

[yancerica]

God Bless Oprah for the beautiful things she is doing for the world.

[Marixpress]

She is THE goddess

[planes3333]

godesss, you flakey tree hugger wiccan dumb-ass

[Cowboystrader]

Love this performance...and I'm not female. I'm a guy.

[pleasingphoebe]

omg i luv her so much! i hope she does a UK tour soon!

[jwkc2]

Oprah is the biggest hypocrite in the world. She wallows in obscene materialistic wealth like a pig, then goes on TV, telling everyone how great it is to be spiritual and charitable. Oink, oink.

[schismtomynism]

she donated over $250 million to charity organizations. do your research.

[jwkc2]

The generosity of the size of one's donations is relative to one's wealth and needs. Do some thinking.

[kungfu911]

I totaly agree with u

[audioescape]

yeah, me too.

[lunamoonyscamp]

Then do you give to charity? Just curious i guess...

[marchica]

I don't know about Oprah being a hypocrite. Apparently she opened a school in South Africa, a leadership academy for girls. She's really changing a lot of lives with her money. Or so it seems.

Anyway, I love this song and I think it's really powerful.

[4patti]

It's great that she makes an effort in this world!Even if I didn't like her music,I love her spirit! Thanks SarahMc-fan!
