  • I have to disagree, I thought her performance was great. Her voice was sensitive and emotional which perfectly portrayed the feeling of sorrow in the song. Of course no one could ever compare with the original, but I think she made it her own and did a wonderful job.

  • @sadjax

    The whole point is; this is her interpretation.

    She is not Paul McCartney

  • @Palle1nr I agree. Emmylou is a treasure and she does a nice job with this song but I just love Rickie Lee Jones' version , it's one of my favorite Beatles covers

  • Kind of nice. But try listning to Rickie Lee Jones version from 2000 I really think she nails it right

  • A mature version. I thought it was a strange song for her to sing but then at the end I noticed Paul McCartney sitting next to the President. I hope he liked it.

  • Sorry but this version is probaly ment for supermarkets or elevators. No heart , no soul , nothing intimate ...

  • @MrALF423 Were you born obnoxious, or did you have to work at it?

    We're all getting old, so what would you have us do?

    Yes, yes, yes, yes .............................

  • NO NO NO NO NO NO NOOOOOO !

    She's getting old ...

  • Best version I have heard...

  • I love her voice. she sings it with tenderness and poignancy.

  • it is a really great cover

  • She wrings all the underlying pathos and pain out of this song. A great rendition that shows the song in a new light.
