urgh avril ! her accent or something sounded so crude on this song ! it just does not work when you are used to hearing sarahs silky voice tell this story ! it sounded like: WEIIII. ARRRR. BOTH. EEEEEEENOOCENT. yuck yuck !
To my if I like it(him,her) since(as,like) avril sings it lavigne but if they do not like it(him,her) this is his(her,your) problem she is a great singer, I believe that it is an exelente version of the song :) sorry for the mistakes nose almost English
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Can you say Butchered? lol. I have nothing against avril .And she does sing the song ok, but her version lacks meaning, and emotion. I doubt avril even knows what this song is about. Just another young artist that has to use other's music to make themselves popular.
They just dont have artists like they used to, music is just for fame and fortune anymore.
Well, up against Sarah's voice Avril does sound a bit off for this song, but I don't think she sounds flat! They are just very different artists with very different voices and the way they sing is really different too, Sarah put more emotion into it and sounds like she is moaning a bit sometimes (Not that she isn't an AMAZING singer) and Avril just sings it more straight forward without bending her voice so much. I particularly like Avril's voice better.
no no no.. Avril shouldn't do Sarah songs. They require too much singing talent. She can sing, but not these kinda songs. This is not right... Stick to your own songs Avril... I love Sarah too much to see her good music go to waste.
I don't think so in this case. Her voice isn't right for this song. It's too pitchy and flat against Sarah's. Avril needs to stick to her own genre. Or get some singing lessons instead of scratching her way through a song. I'm not trying to be mean, it's just my opinion. It's not like i don't like a few of Avrils songs or anything. But this does not sound good at all.
No me gusta.....la voz de avril no se puede comparar con la de sarah. se escucha chillona.....no es armoniosa y dulce como la de Mclachlan. En conclusión Q viva Sarahhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Sarah's falsetto is better than Avril's. Sarah has seamless transitions whilst Avril just puts up a pitchy sounding chord. Note, Sarah sings all the falsetto parts and the top harmony. Avril is still an amazing singer though...
I love Avril and I listened at her at first when Girlfriend came out. However, I didn't just adore her because of that song. I REALLY LOVE When you're gone, and I like others songs like Everything back but you, He wasn't, Don't tell me and Complicated
I like Avril a lot but, in my opinion, Sarah kicks Avril's ass at the vocals of this song. Avril sounds like a 12 year old singing about feelings beyond her years, it's not the right song for her.
I actually agree with you..she sang better here, although I admit Sarah is more consistent overall..and I'm talking about not just this performance. Avril does have her performances where she is pitchy, but she happens to nail it here.
Sarah sounds amazing! She's got such a beautiful voice and lots of talent. I think Avril did a good job too. They both sing it in their own way and niether one is bad to listen to.
For anyone saying Avril is better, you must be deaf.
Avril's voice has no definition, she can't sing this song. Her voice doesn't show the aspects this song is meant to be sung in. Avril is dismal compared to Sarah. Also - I'd like to see Avril compare with Sarah in her ability to write songs. Sarah wrote this song.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
Sarah would do a better duet with Gary Jules. This duet along with her others and the one with Josh Groban sucked. Sarah has such a soft, beautiful voice, and I don't think people like this should ruin her voice. But Gary Jules has a soft, touching voice, too, and he'd sound great with Sarah!
I like it. However, I feel it shows that Sarah truly has a beautiful voice that has developed from years of performing live whereas young Avril has long way to go in relation to voice control, tone & key control. Let be honest Avril is a bit rough & out of tune at times. Let hope she continues to write & develope as she is definately a talented artist. Her live singing voice will improve with time. All in all not a bad clip except for all the banter in the background.
In my own point of view, Sarah sings the song a little bit borring, i mean she has a great voice, but avril gives to the song a different sound and I like it... i really rather avril's version...
I consider myself a better singer thab Avril. Because unlike her I can hit all the notes in this song without going flat, and without my voice sounding like a 70 year old smokers voice. I wouldn't be too quick to assume that people on here wouldn't be able to sing better than her, cos there's not much competition is there?
i have to disagree in am impartial way. I would assume as a multi-platnium singer probably gets singing lessons several days a week ( it is her job) from some of the best people in the business. I will agree that when she first started she probably was ok but after 7 years of top class vocal coaching. I am a betting person and i would have to say she would be odds on favorite. Don't just make assumputions because she sings pop.
Did I say can sing this song better. No fool. I simply said that this song is not for Avril's voice. I can sing this song, quite well in my opinion. And also in my friends and family's opinion. I wasn't going out of my way to offened any Avril fans, I was merely stating my opinion, which is what you though you were doing in saying that Avril is way better than me. But you have no proof. So please don't judge unless you know.
Are you people deaf? This little girl Avril can't sing period. She shouts her way through this beautiful song and can't even reach some of the higher notes.
She's just another marketing hype suckers.
Sarah on the other hand, wrote the song, has the voice of an angel and has more talent in her little finger than Avril will have in her whole [hopefully short] career...
Instead of spending ur time postin comments that make no sense go watch avril singin it on her own in the roxy theatre performance. Then say she has no talent [without lying]
Umm - They are on the same label - Netterk. And since Sarah is semi-retired and Ms. McLachlan is a professional and always a team player the torch is being handed off and as the saying goes "THE SHOW MUST GO ON"
I will say: Glad to see this brat Avril Lavigne mature she sounds ok but not great.
maybe but u have 2 give avril some kudos 4 the fact that she has this rocker i will take whatever life throws at me attitude. and every once in a while i bet u will find yourself listening to some girl power music such as avril.
Oh, and iamsoownage, I don't think either gala, nor I have to know what Sarah thinks about Avril to comment on a performance. She has the right to think Avril's version of her song is great, as we can think that Avril ruins it.
I think that Sarah Outshines her. Either way, they are both amazing!
