Emmy Rossum - live (Slow Me Down)

[quickattack]

I used the audio from this performance in a video paired clips from Garden State. I really liked how it came out.

[GemiNice67]

OMG I was surfing U tube & randomly bumped into this: shes got an amazing voice & this song is simply wonderful. Truly loving it!

[iojamajoi28]

omg she wrote the lyricss.... one of my favorites!

[Elizabeth111Music]

When I'm rushing to school in the morning, I think of this song and slow down. Emmy, please continue being amazing <3

[ciarragrace08]

this is amazing



[asyarihahaha]

I think the one musician that can make this song justice is Imogen Heap. Would love to hear her cover this

[lisamj]

@asyarihahaha good point! didn't think of that but now i think i concur. that would be a great version and one that would do it justice.

[DCrissKLutz]

i really like this version with the piano... :)

[FunStuff141]

aww shes not just pretty and good she also seems really nice and has like a whimsical fairytale like voice :O

prettttty

gotta love those who bring meaning back to music

[FluffyShykitten]

Two words describes this song "Amazingly Beautiful" thanks for posting this.

[emmyrossumfan100]

I freakn love her voice! It's gorgeous!

[d0rv]

She is beautiful and so is her voice...

[felipmante]

me la quiero foolar, en serio.

[vmooch]

emmy IS THAT YOU?!

[haileyCCA2014]

<3 this song! This girl is so talented:)

[pingussooou]

Blonde girl sounds like a mannnn!!!!

[ThePianoTwins16]

So beautiful. Once she started singing, I immediately got goosebumps!

[lenecca]

She's so beautiful and has such a beautiful voice! Gah, I'm so jealous T-T

[LetterbehindIvy]

I wish one day I'd be like her. She is so natural, so fresh, the pure beauty and talent - and still a very kind and honest person. Her voice sounds incredible, so clear and soft even when she's talking. Thank you Emmy for being such an inspire for a writer like me! :)

[TheMichelleYuan]

LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE

[emilyt1018]

Love this song!,,

[StorybookDisneyDoll]

As much as I love the song in its studio version with its cool vocal a capella mixing, it sounds just as beautiful arranged this way and performed live. Emmy has SUCH a lovely, pure voice, and her training shines through always. What's more, she's so beautiful, poised, and collected. Gotta love her! :)

[atlantis2339]

she's so composed. she's like what every other celebrity should follow because she does her crap, sings acts, and then isn't in any press. she keeps to herself. I don't think it would be that hard to do. she does it perfectly. her voice is also very beautiful.

[MikeSaurus]

if they make kingdom hearts 3, this should be the theme song

[xKandiKatZombies]

@MikeSaurus YES. ;) I agreeeeee. <3

[fandoasis]

"if you don't slow down, you might miss the things that are really beatiful on life"

[PinkieAj817]

I first saw her in Phantom of the Opera movie and I wanted to learn more about her :)

[msav1004]

I like this one better than the studio version.

[Vanyashow]

my princess :********

[kmak8008]

i like her opera voice better but i love this song

[eddaful1]

perfect!

[MySongsOnline]

she is so beautiful!!!

[ThumbeLea]

I love Emmy - she is truly an inspiration!

[443Melrose]

she's simply beautiful....

[michaelbuckhanon]

She is nothing less than beautiful

[ArgentinaAzn]

The reason a song as good as this one hasn't been done before is because the musician collaborating with her knew that she was worthy of the beautiful/ challenging melody.

[chriswest1973]

Bravo...

[JuAnakin07]

She's wonderful in every way

[ITSARNOLDTIME]

I cant believe all of those stars go with the computorized junk in stead of solo.

I also cant believe a couple months later she recorded that disturbing music video with all of the computor's editing. If it weren't for this video, I would have still thought she was a bad singer.

[myadorablelosers]

I love this. I think she should stick to singing solo without all of the autotone and computerized crap thats everywhere. she should just do solos with piano or even some guitar.

[cleanaspesssnares]

@supahfreeak they didn't edit the studio version she just added a bunch of different harmonies,it's still all her

[earthangel200us]

Her voice is indescribable. A lot better live I think. You can really hear the richness of her voice here. :)

[HinaRox33]

Love love love Emmy. She's absolutely amazing. Actress, singer, song writer, and she's so beautiful!!! :) what else can she do?!

[singinggal47471310]

her voice is so much deeper, but still good

[LiltedLullaby]

I can hear the beauty in this song, but I still think I prefer her classic and musical stuff.

[codfreak4000]

woww so beautifull<3

[annietinkerbell]

Sounds like some kind of musical song. But she has a nice voice :)

[WSOP2010FINALTABLE]

waawawwa

[andys013]

SHE IS AMAZING

[xLaTuaCantantex]

Why did they decide to add lots of whooshy echoes to the album version of this song? Seriously, some people need it. Some don't. Emmy most definitely did not.

[supahfreeak]

@xLaTuaCantantex I agree and it's so misleading. I heard it and actually thought maybe she couldn't sing bc of how they edited the song.

[scherrrb23]

ahhhh she's amazing

[marmartica]

Looks like there are 16 people who mistakenly believe that Kesha has more talent over Emmy :p

[christmascnn]

so beautiful this song is~also, I am amazed that a song not concerned with "love" can be so touching.

[McBubblie]

it sounds like a disney-song <3

[JohnSellsTShirts]

@McBubblie I think she stole it from Hannah Montana. ....Not that there's anything wrong with that. lol

[wendyisafarmer]

AMAZING!!

[prlwctd]

Emmy is gorgeous, with great legs

[glamgirl5XD]

she is gorgeous!!

[asurevioletperry]

this is better than the album version but the "doodoos" stuff are nice to hear too :p im in love with her voice :D i wish i have a beautiful voice like hers !

[mijessegirl]

I love Emmy, her voice is totally her own and I haven't heard anything like it. She is her own person which I believe is hard to find now. There are so many people that try to sound like other performers. A great refresher {is that word?}. =] I hope she comes out with another album!

[foreverchickadee]

She's quite the inspiration. I want to write an album like hers.

[ethalinia]

I hadn't expect her voice to be so deep, when you compare to her performance in PoTO... she's much older now, but still, it's a huge different :)

[heavansentler07]

all the background noises you hear on her album are HER. very few instruments were used in the making of her album, all the "doo doos" are her. Hence why it took so long for her album to drop.

[opusx300]

This is just a portion of her true voice. You can hear that in the depth of her notes.

[dannygobad]

This is my girlfriends favorite song now and it's pretty good!

[CisforCantaloupez]

I like this a lot better than the album version - there isn't any autotuning or whooshing sounds and I can actually hear her lovely voice. I don't know why they put all of those sounds and "doodoodoo" things on the album version, she doesn't need it.

[edrush001]

hm, she's better than I thought

[cpaa14]

I love Emmy Rossum, but I feel she's being too breathy. And it's frustrating because she really has a nice voice. idk..that's just me.

[voicetube]

Oh my God.. SO glad I found this!!! I bought the CD and a bunch of her stuff on iTunes as well and listen to this cut frequently but to see her sing this out of the studio & LIVE? Amazing! She is a classic!

[catgirl01]

i think i like her live version better than the studio version (which has more whooshing sounds)

[lithicalessiarpe]

her voice is soft and amazing

[shirleyASSASSIN]

wow, i didn't know she's also a singer. But she's a really good singer!

[therealcaptobvious]

the only thing I don't like about this song is that it limits her.

I think Emma is probably one of America's best vocalists, her capacity is greater than Mariah Carey. She is a flute? suprano, crystal clear voice, perfect pitch and range. She was brilliant in the Phantom, she would blow jazz and folk music out of the water. She reminds me of Sarah McLaughlin, with a more dynamic set of pipes.

[elimik31]

I am amazed that there are still stars who can actually really sing.

[WSOP2010FINALTABLE]

@elimik31 wat

[TheBlackmentos94]

@elimik31

And write ALL their songs.

[whataweird0]

Its refreshing to find an actress/musician who actually performs as good (possibly even better) LIVE than their music video. Great stuff (^__^). Not many musicians can perform their own song as originally live as what Emmy has just done. So Kudos to her!!

[timofmya]

her album was over produced, this simple arraignment is so much better..........i can actually hear her voice. very nice

[ava2hot19]

@timofmya i know this is the first time i could actually hear HER and ONLY HER

[rockstar6786]

i love this song. though i like the album version than the live version. but she is a good singer. i liked it.

[misswhatever695]

i love watching her in the phantom of the opera...she is so young....and gorgeous...huhu...^ ^

[1wickedangel]

She is absolutely amazing! Voice of an angel

[PhantomFeline2]

Emmy Rossum, or as I call her "Rossum The Awesome", is a not only stunning beautiful actress/singer, also has a good voice without all that autotune crud. Unlike other people who it'd be a shame to compare her to those...Ewwy people lol.

[SummerLaceXO]

perfection.

[Naduwa]

SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[1984metalhead]

shes hot! great ass voice

[dalooloo28]

Great lyrics and melody - straight from the soul, not to mention her voice.

[stardusth2o]

She is incredible live! Most people wouldn't think so but most people seem to forget that she was on the stage at a young age like Lea Michele. She's just as good as her but for some reason does not recieve the same recognition for her talents. She is an incredible singer and actress. While I am in love with Lea michele I think that Emmy has more acting abilities than her. Most ppl don't even know who Emmy is. And that is a very sad thing...

[horsegurlcrazy14]

Her breaths are too loud...it's like "GASP" everytime. The lyrics are awesome, and I love Emmy, but I think she should work on not "HuuuH" every breath....

[UnluckyGambler]

@horsegurlcrazy14 i believe thats on purpose. personally i like it. fits the theme of always in a hurry and needing to slow down.

[aureliecoucou]

If maybe Miss Rossum can read that, I want to say her that she's amazing and full of talent (even fi she already know that I expect :)) And I thank she's a great woman. It's not just someone who's a star but a girl with ethics, ..

Really I wish her a good life because deserve it :)

aureliecoucou

[Islandgurl2015]

Emmy your so goorgeous!!! Wonderful song lyrics! hope you go farther than you are now!!!

[michelley702]

Love her in Phantom of the opera

[IHasChannel]

music starts 1:50

[MizunoSenshi]

Ethereal, indeed! ;)

[PirateEmi]

omg she sounds even better live! so amazing <33333.

[RaychelGirl77]

Shes amazing and so gorgeous

[billiefan2000]

happy birthday emmy

[mabelxxxbsb]

sweestest and opera voice ever

[XoxBubblesXox95]

she is awesome! and she wears pretty dresses!

[503398]

nice song, nice voice, the lady... to cute for me

[KriBlackRoson]

ay que lindo, aquí no suena como pito

her voice sounds much better here than in the phantom of the opera =D

[BlueJeanBaby012]

Her voice is darker here than anywhere else, but it's so pretty.

Good to know in a world is fake singers who need LOADS of autotune to sound decent, thre is still real talent out there.

[alkkl15]

she is AMAZING ! love her 

[JoyDivisiongirl]

she is so beautiful! and her voice is incredible. love her.

[lovelifedonthate]

she is such a gorgeous girl, she looks very pure. :)

[randomchick85023]

lol you can here the opera in her voice!

[luv2skate4ever]

wow!

[ximei29]

She still had that opera voice and very stable

[Ferbbie]

she is a real artist! she actually can sing! her voice and face is like of fallen angel....!

[candymandy224]

i love emmy! i saw phantom of the opera when i was ten years old and since then i have completely fallen in love with her voice and acting. also she seems like a genuinely lovely person and never just babbles on and on about nothing like a lot of people in hollywood. oh, and she's drop dead gorgeous! so.... yeah, rant over! lol

[idunnowhatimdoin]

(o_0) woah. dissapointing.

[xamandaplease]

is it possible to get the sheet music??

[PhantomsAngel07]

She's a year older than me and I was moved up to second soprano in my Chorus class my senior year thanks to Phantom.

Emmy, you are an angel! :)

[the1andObli]

The first time I heard this song I was in my basement due to a tornado warning. I had the radio on a small public channel so I could listen to weather updates, when this song came on. It surprised the hell out of me when the dj said it was Emmy Rossum. I thought it was Enya or some other amazing but little-known artist. She really is amazing.

[TheRainKingsQueen]

so jealous of this girl...she is dating the love of my life....she is AMAZING though

[camlightluvr]

@TheRainKingsQueen who?

[TheRainKingsQueen]

@camlightluvr

adam duritz from counting crows

[cadalacin]

beautiful song

[oOMissNeverlandOo]

She's so pretty, I'm jalouse ! I love her voice !

[Funkymonky24]

A beautiful voice, even live :')

[sweetbabynrs]

i disagree with everyone. if you have ever heard her sing opera, you would see that this performance and this type of music doesn't do her justice. She was born to sing opera. this song didn't showcase her voice at all. beautiful, stunning girl, though

[StCh222]

i lovee her. she has the most amazing voice. and she is gorgeous!

[miep8675]

I think i like her voice better in this style of music than classical.

[sgfwvid]

She emphasizes the D in each of her "down"s. It's to emphasize the consonant. So many singers let hard consonants go quiet. It doesn't seem like it'd be hard to make it heard, but often, ds, ts, bs, etc get lost. It seems her style is to really focus on that, and I like it.

[MissSushi123]

i LOVE the song and her (Y)

one question

why does she actually emphasise the 'd' in 'down' when she finishes?

[raccoonxeyesxx]

@MissSushi123 she was classically trained, and when you're classically trained-particularly in opera, like Emmy here-they have you emphasize and enunciate words more.

[ElPatrioto]

I like this better than the studio version, as it really shows she can sing.

[meconfused1996]

Love it, lyrics and tune

[roopa494]

shivers EVERYWHERE.

[ThePhenomMan]

OMFG!!! 37 DEGREES!!! WHERE ARE THEY AT!

[bluewolf98]

@ThePhenomMan the gma broadcast headquarters in new york....yes, it gets very hot up there.

[HeyYou711]

@bluewolf98 @ThePhenomMan Yea it does get hot up here in NY but that 37 degree is in F not C, so that's not 99C if that's what you were thinking lol

[BlueJeanBaby012]

@ThePhenomMan

New York.

[tagcheeta1992]

she has a amazing voice...and great diversity. i cant belivehowdiffernt her voicesounds on ther recored then in phantom

[smartgirl285]

shes pure talent not like Kei$ha who is just looks and autotuning

[meconfused1996]

@smartgirl285 How does Keisha's looks help? she looks drunken :P

[DelinArt]

@smartgirl285

I agree with someone else, Ke$ha doesn't even have the looks. It's just because people have such awful taste in music these days.

Love Emmy! She has looks, personality (sure I don't know her, but she seems sooo likable)  and the voice!

[dneklason]

i can't believe how young she is. she's only 23 right now, and when she performed this she was only 21.

[ExAxLxPx12]

i LOVE this song so much:)

[Tobyandbob]

To be able to sing and give me shivers throughout my whole body is realy something amazing. I don't shiver to many singers, It doesn't mean i don't like singers who doesn't give me shivers. But Emmy Rossum realy does, and she is one of most gorgeous women I've seen. She has a gift from god if you ask me. To affect me like that is really something...

[harmoniaSINGS]

wow...from the first note coming out of her mouth, i had chills. she has magnificent color in her voice that makes this live raw.

[TheMike367]

WOW

[stardusth2o]

I love this version because the song on the cd was very heavily tracked and this has a more personal and emotional sound. SHE"S GREAT!!!

[ArtjomGlad]

She's a douche, but a hot and good singing douche.

[Monka189]

I love her in Phantom of the Opera. She sings great ;]

[pixipretty808]

can definitely tell that she's into musical theatre...her voice is so pure, and she's so talented, a great range. This is real singing :)

[Bubblepopper231]

here is her cell #.....

[tere2093]

she is so good :)

[AngelOfMusic4life]

she's an amazing actress and a great singer , and she's a real singer she can singing , cause there are much singers who thinks they can sing but they can't ... i hope you understand me x

[Amy2009colorguard]

she is my idol, not to be a singer cause i cant, but as an awsome person. She is just soo cool, plus, she has the most awsomemest smile ive ever seen.

YOURE MY HERO EMMA!!!

[wanderingchild09]

@Amy2009colorguard You mean Emmy? :) She's my idol, too! <3

[BiaandMandyShow]

She's so good! I'm in love with her voice!

[laladylann]

it's better when she sing it live...:D

[Multiplexing13]

She is so cute. SUCH a sweetheart.

[bregieirofernandes]

she sings opera as well.

incredible, amazing girl

[plainxane]

I like this one wayyy better than the orginal version! now...where can i download it?!

[Timamalao]

Classical girls? Our time is coming~! xD I love her, she's awesome!

[oooh55]

I wish singers like her had more success cause she is amazing

[monica091997]

Beautiful! :)

[eyecandiproductions]

she reminds me of emmy rossum

[marniex3hp]

beautiful :)

[TPOTOishere]

this sounds better than the official video lol

[OhhFantastic]

People have been telling Emmy that this isn't the sound everyone wants to hear. I love how she doesn't mind it, because she's writing these lyrics and singing these songs for herself. She's beautiful in every way and it shows not only through her as a person, but her music as well. Stunning.

[cheryllee47]

<3 her

[TheGothims]

she is incredibly talented

[kkkkellay]

shes amazing.

enough said.

it even sounds better than the studio version

[patito3111]

sweet voice...

live is good!!

[camlightluvr]

SHE'S SO FREAKIN TALENTED!!!!!!!

[garstrieper]

That was breathy, pitchy, and altogether unenjoyable.

[ethalinia]

Her singing voice sounds very different from her speaking voice...they're both beautiful though :D

[xonlyxjojox]

pretty and great singer!!!what could be better!

[Louisefradk]

I'm in love with her voice..Whoa !!

[leedeyi]

i was expecting that singing voice form all her talking, but when she sings, it comes out and it was like boomz! awesome song and awesome singer.

[AngSyn89]

She sings even better live. Such a fresh voice then what we usually hear.
