Maxwell - This Woman's Work

[cocorita1971]

Meraviglioso.......una carezza all' anima......peccato che in Italia non sia conosciuto

[tiny88G]

it's crazy how i love her voice

it so perfect

[799tanny]

Only just started listening to him but he's absolutely amazing!

[SPNW]

My heart hurt with this song...its too deep...bawl..bawl..cry...

[DomesticRee]

Emotional Song Makes Your Heart Melt ..

[oe431]

22 dislike on this needs "extra ordinary work"

[larmanite]

i do like it, but i hate it when he breaks away from the high pitched singing. reminds me of the lonely frog

[Bobsherunkle]

It ain't Kate, but it's a bloody good effort!

[kkdntplay]

his face doesnt match the song :-( his voice is super sex tho :-)

[Glorene1]

this is way way better than kate wats her name

[copthorne1]

@Glorene1 You mean the woman who wrote it? You may not prefer her voice but you sure love her talent as a songwriter ;-)

[AllThingzNice1]

The work just doesn't stop, not if you want to be great . Where you sit when you are old shows where you stood in youth. The time to act is now! All Thingz Nice

[crystalbloo]

Love this song <3

[keeeefie]

It's not about who's version is best, it's about education..check out Kate Bush y'all.

[RealDefentertainment]

The live version from 1996/7 is way better that the one he put on his album

shame shame

check the live version everyone on the related tab..

[SheyGrantNotts]

his fro looks hot!

[KJER]

dont really like 2 compare..

Kate Bush a great artist..

but sorry the cover blows her original song away for me..

[FrassySabrin]

Absolutely adore this song. wow what a voice

LOVE LOVE X :)

[4rekleface]

Only just started to listening to Maxwell thanks to my mother and I am in love. I usually listen to heavy metal, alternative rock and nu metal but this guy just touches my heart with his VOICE.

I need to get all my friends into him :)

[heyitsmeTanya]

ive been looking 4 this song every where yey! finally found it :D

[blackbeauty1845]

So beautiful

[neilo4Rose]

greatt video clip ! :) sooo sad though, <3

[Justnoortje87]

beautiful video ... woww!

[diator]

Cover versions are rarely better than the original and this is no exception. Simply doesn't have the depth of feeling that Kate Bush's original has. Bearing in mind the subject matter it is hardly surprising, pleasant enough just doesn't do it for me.

[nonirums]

i cant get enough..Beautiful!!!

[murdok620]

what a great clip. and what an excellent singer shot boyyy!!

[Moment4Lifexo]

I don't know why, but everytime I hear this song. I cry. so, so beautiful.

[gary1001]

i must say, impressive fro :)

[FrassySabrin]

He's a smashing bloke. WOW what a voice

[stokieboy11]

1.MAKE A HEART WITH YOUR HANDS

[thatasiankid45]

while listening to this song i just kept on looking at his hair........

[ivytrixie43]

this just reaches in and tugs at you ....very good arrangement and soft lyrics .Awesome I love it

[tedeus72]

anyone who doesn't like Maxwell OR Kate Bush stfu! and gtfo!

stunning song written by an outstanding musician/singer with no equal and brought up to date by another of the same calibre...

[MsPeaches187]

love and basketball <3 love that film

[kelzybub306]

This is one the most amazing songs i've ever heard... I'm completely taken away by it. Trying to find some songs that are this beautiful.... not alot i can tell you!

[ElsieeDude]

Both covers are amazing.

Personally I prefer Kate Bush's but I can't deny the beauty of Maxwell's version.

People who are calling Kate Bush shit in order to defend Maxwell need to understand that Maxwell obviously like Kate Bush's version enough to cover it.

Amazing song <3

[drawingafterSIX]

HAHA ! Who doesn't like this !?!



[HuzzahMuthafuckah]

Haha! This is just hilarious compared with the original. Dear me... it's filmed like daytime telly, and is just...odd, coming from a man. Kate Bush created a masterpiece, and this man has done his best to recreate it. Good effort, but not a patch on the original.

[melinabanana]

@dyocine désolée..je l'ai pas trouvé ^^ ( trop mini! )

[paulfitzpa]

The original by Kate Bush is one of the greatest songs of the 20th century.. This on the other hand misses the mark. The dude obviously has talent but his execution is off. Also this song is far better in the hands of a woman.

People claiming this version is better really have poor taste. This is obviously a pale imitation of the original. Yet another song which mainstream commercial/corporate pop/hiphop has stolen.

[19ChloeLauren91]

@paulfitzpa Shut ya mouth. You obviously know very little about music. Maxwell is one of the most talented singers of his generation...he sings with emotion and soul. This version is beautiful. Kate Bush is annoying.

[MrBlaqgold]

@paulfitzpa stupidest comment ever! Maxwell as mainstream pop/hiphop! Perhaps on the planet fruitcake...

Don't drop a comment to try and gets thumbs up when you dont know shit about that of which you speak!

[fernittafrimpong]

this video should have so much more views!

[1murkeybadmayn]

emotion just doesnt top this! this the kind of feelings u find in in greek mythology

[gangsterr11]

i will always think on the movie love and basketbal

[shanthi5]

wat a song <3

[086apollo440]

An abomination. Shocking version.

[ella2611]

rubbish....

[doreenmusic8]

maxwell version is way better kate bush's version lacks something in my opinion maxwell delivers it with so much emotion

[jcamjcam]

Great song, shame about the video

[luvanmusiq1990]

Great song!!! but the first girl in the white dress standing in the street is not pretty..come one maxwell damnn

[ShanNeicey]

I love this song it is too emotional but it gets played over and over again

[ThePerfectScience]

Gosh, I wasn't moaning! Considering I've never heard this version before I was simply making a point.

[Intheheart84]

If you like Kates version better, just type kate Bush and hit search. Whats the point of coming here to moan about how Kate's version is better? Gosh

[ThePerfectScience]

Can't beat Kate, simples.

[wiganrugby]

Kate Bush's version is better.

[melinabanana]

@dyocine ta gueule.

[evanin0u]

the song make me sad ! but still i love!!

[blondie1499]

I love this song. I played it at my fiances funeral 3 yrs ago still brings a tear to my beautifull song! x

'Pray god you can cope' -

[BeautyHealthZoneBlog]

@blondie1499

That's so sad.

[jchopra]

@blondie1499

Love for you. The youtube community is with you. God bless. x

[MrsCeeSmiley]

i Get Emoshanal When iHere This Song Maxwell iS So Talented!

(L) buht yet so underrated

[jchopra]

F**k this guy can sing!!!! Very close to Kate Bush's original....love for you brother Maxwell...

[mrdjotter91]

!!!! LOVE AND BASKETBALL !!!!

[TinoStruggle081]

SMH how does a man come to sing such a song he needs to man up and grow a pair.

[emperor536]

@TinoStruggle081 lol but you're listening to it so in that case you're no more of a man than he is.

[warmslurm]

@TinoStruggle081 The song is written from the man's POV, so.

[phillipchampion2]

this song is amazing, I heard it love and basketball and stomp the yard. Had to find the artist. Big Tune. Makes you just wanna hug your wifery and dance slow

[aynsleyrobertson]

This is purley amazing. good music is not the word for this.

[XxEllenMaccaxX]

Though this is brilliant and much more modern, I think I prefare Kate Bushes version.

[Bakani92]

Still wonderin' who can afford to dislike this video... you've obviously wasted ur energy and time doing that.

[soufia94]

Magnifique!!! Je ne me lasserais jamais de cette chanson !

[eoinroe47]

He doesn't convey the lines properly - simple as that

[baroondiwand]

KATE B U S H

[ronaldor98765]

best song ever OMG LOVEEEE ITT

[bitcheata]

shut the fuck up, kate bush is a dumb bitch

[C0NNECT10N]

Love & Basketball <3

[loveofallthingsmusic]

a great song to tell ur husband or boyfriend that ur pregnant to

[bazotter]

Kate Bush is extremely hard to cover. Maxwell has made a really impressive cover version. He's a lovely singer too. Well done, the video is good too.

[Ms89Eve]

Love it....so beautiful..xx

[lstaceyneal]

The live version is sooo much better

[lstaceyneal]

The fact is this song was written by Kate Bush, but from a mans perspective. So either can sing it.

[emperor536]

Fuck, i cant even listen a damn good song without illerate fucks spewing their ignorance about race or their political views

Why are people arguing about who's version is better, i see that no one is on Celine Dion's page arguing about the fact that she sang over Nate King Cole's song..'When i fall in love'

The original Song was ok, but Maxwell had really put some extra soul and emotion in this song, and the fact that no one even new about the song before but u racist fucks went searching

[699910]

beautiful song

[hannarrrrr1]

this song, generally makes me cry everytime i hear it

[sheiichou]

depuis le temps que je la cherche, enfin je la trouve.. elle est tout simplement apaisante, magnifique .... et j'en passe .... =)

[Shezbelle]

After all these years this song still literally gives me shivers.

There's so much emotion in this song his voice the lyrics it's perfectly composed.

For thank God the music he makes is truly a blessing.

[violainebeautiful]

i love you !!! j'adore cette chanson si émouvante et si touchant et qui vous transperce le coeur ..et cette voix!!! merci .

[051262LILI]

Je découvre à l'instant ......et je trouve cela vraiment très , très beau !!!!!

Je suis emportée vers de nouveaux horizons ....j'aime !!!!

Merci beaucoup à mes amis de Facebook pour ce partage !!!!!

[lyssamaree41]

A bad cover. If you are going to cover a song, put your own personality into it, don't try to replicate the original. This is just B.A.D. Totally oversung, and underfelt.

[lukeslonergan]

@lyssamaree41 opinions but dont ever say this is oversung and underfelt theres more emotion in mazwells cover by a mile kate bush is an amazing artist but if your really 41 you need to grow up and appreciate all types of music

[Neilo2k8]

I Have To Admit I Have Listen To Both Version, But I Perffer Maxwells, Although I Actually Though A Woman Sang It When I Heard His Version. But Either Way This Has Now Become A Timeless Classic For Me, Stop Arguing Whos Version Is Better, Just Shut Up, Listen And Appreciate Good Music!

[thed0dgydancer]

@Neilo2k8 It's nice that you have an opinion, but could you post it without abusing the shift key next time.

[sedlofotbal]

What a shit!!! Kate bush must be angry, i am!!

[JanelleKK]

@sedlofotbal but the song must be happy, because maxwell sang it

[lgik]

worrying

[BRADATIZED]

Nothing compared to Kate Bush.

[pascal16argentyna]

live version so much better you lot should check it out

[tjleota]

i like his live version waaay better . :)

[jonathanbain14]

this song is absolutely terrible, seriously guys, see if you like this song give the kate bush version a try, this song doesnt have the same feel, it isnt as sad, which is what the original song is about, its almost enough to make you cry honestly.

[lukeslonergan]

@jonathanbain14why you hating for have your opinion but dont say the songs terrible maxwells better than 98% of artists out these days so as a great man once said BLOW IT OUT YOUR ASS

[jonathanbain14]

@lukeslonergan i wasnt hating, i was showing my own opinion. Stop being so insecure. If you want to follow a copy cat then do so. It is in the nature of americans isnt it.

[lukeslonergan]

@jonathanbain14 your an idiot im not american your ignorant how am i being insecure you have nothing better to do than talk negative bullshit on the internet how about appreciate both versions i like both artists hes not copying its obviously liked the song thats why he gave her a shoutout on the live performance run along with your childish mentality

[jonathanbain14]

@lukeslonergan I was referring to the singer you twat. All I am doing here is presenting my own opinion and you are simply trolling, I don't think you have it in you to actually have a civil conversation on youtube without capital letters or swearing or general insults. I haven't insulted you once. Learn how to be social. Spoon.

[lukeslonergan]

@jonathanbain14 and unfortunately for you nobody gives a shit about some lonely hateful little kids opinion your just full of negativity first the cover then talking trash about americans and how many do you know grow up you have no idea what your talking about and take this internet bullshit way too serious lol troll go play your xbox and be a good boy quiet as kept

[jonathanbain14]

@lukeslonergan are you autistic or something let it the fuck go, trying to call me negative, all i did was reccomend my version. You are just in denial that you can't just be friendly to someone. For the record, I actually am American, was born there so yeah, shove that up your pipe and smoke it. P.S. I know PLENTY of American people. Thank god they ain't like you. You just confirm the "halo" / "cod4" stereotypes.

[lukeslonergan]

@jonathanbain14 reccomend your version its the original of course most people that are mature know it grow up thats all im saying im not arguing with someone over the internet but dont come on the song being disrespectful both the versions are good i just prefer this version you prefer kate bush thats what it is but im not negative about it

[theresadanielle1]

@jonathanbain14 Erm " are you autistic or something" that's rude

[jonathanbain14]

@theresadanielle1 well to be honest i cant really remember why i said it but i dont just randomly blurt out "are you autistic" there was probably a reason for it lol. Sorry if I caused any offence.

[SuperJanine27]

@jonathanbain14  I think that any one who dose not like this song is mad and crazy and hates music.... Maxwell made this song the best it could be... stop hating on the man....

[SuperJanine27]

@jonathanbain14

[sweex08]

[fifyfoefum1]

[gogosma]

Im really loving and appriciating the dark skinned women in the video.

[TallisTriptych]

i'm always amused to find videos here calling this "maxwells " this womans work lol No it aint it's written by Kate Bush guys get real!

[supezup]

If this wasn't actually about giving birth it would have been an amazing wedding song for me! Maxwells version is so beautiful! I love the richness of his voice and how he can hit all the differnt ranges...He's a genius! More like him please.

[loozinCONTROL]

@supezup this is abwt giving birth because??

[Sexcigal453]

@loozinCONTROL it's from the movie She's Having A Baby, and when he says "now starts the craft of the father" it means becoming a father!!

[jazzdance]

@supezup Hi - I didnt know this song was about giving birth. I always thought it was about dying of cancer.

Anyway, apart from that, I totally agree with you :o)

Such a beautiful performance

[jazzdance]

@supezup @supezup Hi - I didnt know this song was about giving birth. I always thought it was about dying of cancer.

Anyway, apart from that, I totally agree with you :o)

Such a beautiful performance

[jamiahokoye]

@supezup when kate bush did it (the original) the song was about death ( i think cancer) not giving birth.

[supezup]

I remember watching something saying that Kate Bush was truely touched about her song being used for a cancer trust but she did say it was about giving birth and the frailty of a man when he see's his beloved going through this amazing experience on her own and there is nothing hew can do to take away her pain.

[eljefegrande88]

You cant compare this to Kate Bush's. Simply because they're both performed in a different way, with different emotion and a different style, even though you hear similarities.

Both of the version are great, both performed by two great and well respected artists.

[mustie50]

woow what a beautiful voice maxwell has

[mustie50]

wow what a beautiful voice maxwell has just woow

[principessaazaria]

I luurrrrrrve this song!!!

it's properly got me in the mood to watch love and basketball now!

[DexterTheKevin]

good, but not as good as Kate Bush's. You can really cry at that one, she puts her soul into it

[mbramall10]

love this song, so beautiful... x

[karincosme]

I love this song.:) I first heard this song in the movie Love and Basketball.:)

[frosty2901]

not my cup of tea sorry to say Kate rules !!!!!!

[ryangpayne]

Hes got balls for a man to do this song, and he pulled it off i still like the original though, great song!

[coogminator]

i agree

[mary88stella]

just simply beautiful

[krissy006]

i like it but i dont understand it

[krissy006]

i like it but i dont understand it

[lenatizia]

belissimo

[loolybeth]

Does anybody know where i can download this version of the song. all of the others are different to this but i really need this one for my third year dance project in university x

[gdleb]

@loolybeth contact me if you have not got the track

[medulla86]

Maxwell did a great job, but it's good simply because the original Kate Bush song is excellent.

[nloundag]

why does he make his voice sound like crap for 95% of this vid? from 2:59 - 3:12 sounds awesome.

[thefightingclub1]

@nloundag lol

[dafulin]

This video was I first meet maxwell, I love this song ; )

[Catskillz86]

I'm from the UK and only heard of Maxwell because i'm a big fan of Nas, is Maxwell big in the US cos if it weren't for Nas i don't think i'd know who he was?
