@ozylynx McCartney didn't really do a great job on the original? I hope that's a joke. It's a masterpiece on the best album of all time- pretty sure he did a great job.

I'm seriously offended that one of the highest rated comments on here states that the Beatles rendition of this beautiful song( and it clearly must've been to be covered on AMerican Idol 40 years later) is being called less than brilliant. The poster of said comment and everyone who liked it needs to get checked, as they are clearly ill. That being said, this is entirely inferior to the original.

@jpjohnson37 i hate when they try to add their own crap of screaming and hollering.

she jacked it up

Fantastic job by Carrie Underwood. Of course nothing beats the original, but I think she'd make a really good cover of the entire song.

ouch......



[jpjohnson37]

first of all, why!? why pick such a good and classic song, secondly, why whould you ad your own twist to it. i know that is what singing is in some aspects, (sorry i have to pause it its so bad) but its not your song. thirdly, you cant be so serious when singing a song like this. your obviously going to suck at it and you are in no way recreating it.

sincerilly,

a person who is anything but a fan

p.s. fuck you for singing a beatles song

Sorry Carrie, but your voice is just a run of the mill everyday voice. Check out Kate Bush. She did a true musicians cover. Just goes to show that splash and cutsie pie singers are what sells in the US for the most part. The truly gifted dont get anywhere unless they happen to look like a one size fits all Barbie doll. How sad!

[LemonPledge01]

Still prefer the original, no offence to Carrie Underwood.

@Galactu5 While I respect YOUR opinion, the opinion of ozylynx is uneducated and moronic. There are actually MANY songs within the culture of rock music that are performed with one time signature playing against another. Mother by Pink Floyd is a perfect example. Ozylynx is just another uneducated troll who like to stir the pot.

@romeokid69

What that person meant was that playing 4/4 over 3/4 was considered impossible. (Not sure who other than less than inventive musicians would think so, but that is my digression) In pop music I'm sure some folks would think that impossible but I'm only 44 so I don't know what professional musicians were thinking about in the 60s. I'm certain polymeter wasn't invented for "She's leaving home" but don't let that take anything away from a wonderful song.
