is this guy her brother?

[knoxtaper]

No, her brother is Gert Bettens. Tom Kestens just joined Sarah for a handful of shows in 2007.

this is a beautiful song. her voice is ahmazing. i truly feel this song.

Wow, rick. I have heard dozens of terrible covers of this song and this is probably the best one NOT done by Bonnie. Bonnie's version rips my heart out every time, amazing. At least this girl knows it is sad and the tempo is slow like it should be. Pretty soulful, just not outstanding. How can you follow up the Bonnie version? Best second place i have heard though...

[Prometheus1st]

It is hard for any performer to do a decent version of ANY song in a small venue with just one accompanying instrument.

I think she did Bonnie Raiit proud.

I was a Bonnie fan about the same time I became a Sarah fan....so my call on this is fair and balanced, lol (unlike Fox News)

Wasn't too impressed by this, the piano is fab, I much prefer George michaels version,

[Prometheus1st]

I am a Bonnie Raitt fan, from way back.

I approve this cover. I like Sarah anyway, so maybe I am biased.

This was a heartfelt wonderful performance.

Thanks Sarah.

Sorry I forget to say, Sarah performs one of the best versions of this fantastic song. The sound quality of this video isn't my favourite but her voice has it what many other performers, especially the talentshow singers don't got !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[jazzsoulfan]

There are a lot of cover versions of this song but anybody who has a voice & knows how sad is a love without a reply can give this song the soul which is needed for this classic. I wonder why it isn't already used for a movie!!!!

[Moreesje]

it made me cry 2nite.. :)

so i can smile again...

[Harky1951]

Being a die hard Bonnie Raitt fan since 1973, it isn't always easy to listen to someone else sing what she has recorded ...but this was OK. It has made me rethink posting my own version that is on my short list because it makes it clear how hard it is to come close .......

[WhiteTiger333]

I love Sarah Bettens voice, but I also think Bonnie Raitt's recording of this song has much more depth. I do wonder if much of the problem is the audio quality (or lack thereof) of this video. Sarah's voice is much richer than this vid is able to capture - probably no one's fault under the circumstances.

Yah - I'm also used to hearing Bonnie do this one - catches the heartstrings. :`)
