I was recently in A&B Studios recording a string arrangement so couldn’t miss an opportunity to record a version of this rock anthem. Although I love the Limp Bizkit version, I am still blown away by this track written by The Who, one of my all-time favourite bands. There’s such a depth and backstory to this song, I just love it.
Thank you so much for watching; if you enjoy it please share it, sharing is caring!

#COVERS - Hudba
Wow. Well done. Even though I have brown eyes, I suddenly realize that "blue" is not referring to color but to sadness.
This is the best version of this I have ever heard ... and it stopped me in my tracks.
dosn't matter how many times i hear you sing a song or even what song it is....your voice gives me goosebumps every single time....just amazing.
The Who are smiling at Janet, the wonderful presentation.🎹🎶🎹🎶🎹🎶⚘
Would love to hear her sing REMs "Everybody Hurts "
yes, would be a perfect song for her
Would love to hear her rendition of that song. It fits with her song types and could soothe a lot of hurting souls.
@Big Cat Little Lion I think covering 'Everybody Hurts' - singing the lyrics would be a good mental health activity for Janet because there is hope in that song. If there's one thing we all need.. is hope.
Nobody wants to hear rem
45 years later and it is still an awesome melody.
2300Kenzie way better than the New music
Every now and then a good song still emerges, but the creativity that flourished in the 60's and 70's was remarkable.
true!
4500 years later and still this song will be awesome!
Thats because the people only remember the legends. In every year of music history, there were crap - rly rly bad music. Best excample: The 80s. I am am musician and working with instruments the last 20 years and keep smiling when the people say "oooh i am such an 80s fan, such great music, its amazing" - actual, sure i could name 200 great songs by name everybody knows and thinks its a legendary track. But i could also show u dozens of lists, with an hilarious amount of Vinyl releases who re absolutly crap. And the crap was dominating the 80s. The today known "80s" were born in the 90s by looking back and only naming the "Hits". But these re not rly the feeling u had in the 80s.
Quite an unknown fact - my dad actually was the man 'Behind Blue Eyes'!!
The Who came to Brighton many years ago and stayed with my dad and his housemate, who was their 'minder'. They started writing it there and then having met my dad - ex-military, lost his family and was trying to build his life again from scratch as a bouncer. He still has the most piercing blue eyes, and incredible tales and stories.
Story checks out, however there is no guarantee that it was your dad specifically. I don't want to call you a liar, but it is a fact anyone can google.
This song always reminds me of my oldest son. He connected to this song to show me how he felt years ago. I haven't spoken to him in 7 years. You did a great job expressing the loneliness, the harshness, the despair. And yes he does have blue eyes.
i have been around long enough to know the WHO version and later on the LIMP BIZKIT version, the original was good and the remake was a good modern version but you nailed it, never change your style, that accent of yours makes it so unique and in my opinion its the best version ever, keep up the good work...
I agree whole heartedly I have too been around for both and you nailed it throughly and with pin point precision keep up the great work and never stop being you
Beautiful voice.... that accent incredible. Thanks.
I’m willing to bet The Who would absolutely love this cover.
Amazing voice. So many "artists" today feel like they have to do all of the vocal acrobatics and show off their voice. Finally, someone who actually SINGS a song the way it is written and still makes it her own! Absolutely beautiful!
and her voice adds so much poignancy to the lyrics
She's got her unique style
Fred Durst sang it the say it was supposed to be
She does have a good voice for singing, however, you say "a song the way it is written" yet she mixed and matched the lyrics.
@@patrickperry8951 He's also a giant douche but I won't really disagree. I was at summer sanitarium when that whiny assclown got booed off stage but he did do behind blue eyes well.
Janet, your voice and your eyes are mesmerizing.
please continue to sing from the heart as you do
Janet, you never get old. Love your voice.
-Canada
2019 calling the 2016 Janet Devlin: Dont lose your voice, dont ever lose the core that is you...because U are awesome! Cheers and alot of love and care from good ol´ Sweden!!
I love how your accent comes out in your songs. 99% if the time when people sing their accent is hidden. Definitely one of the best covers I’ve ever heard! Keep up the good work Janet!!!
aww thank you so much!🙊💕
I was thinking the same thing about her sweet accent ❤️
The surname, the accent, the red hair........I'm guessing Irish? Sweet!
@@nicklewis1882 Yes! She is from Northern Ireland!
@Jack Snow So? Lol. Not everyone in Ireland has ginger hair
You still give me goose bumps with every song , even 6 years later from the first time I heard your voice
yay! Thanks for watching! ❤️
I totally Agree. I have a Crush
I totally agree. You have such a fantastic voice.
As I listen, I feel a whole new meaning to this song. Janet has the ability to do this to many of the songs she sings.
Jesus! How rare is it that a cover blows away an original?
Just beautiful. Makes me feel warm inside.
I felt like I heard and understood that song for the first time even though I've heard it hundreds of times. Wonderful!
This girl does not need any reality show....SHE IS ABSOLUTELY ASTONISHING....THAT VOICE HAD MY SKIN CRAWLING ...BEAUTIFUL TONE
passtheBuck Canuck her voice makes your skin crawl?
You're right but that's how everyone found her. We didnt know her before then. X factor was a good thing for her. It gave her a fan base.
My favourite ever singing contestant. Stunning voice instantly recognisable. Beautiful
Janet you have so much emotion in your voice with this song you give Roger Daltrey a run for he's money
The voice of an angel ...
And the face.. and the hair... and the eyes ❤💛💚
She's so sweet sounding I got a toothache !
Never get sick of you voice sister much ❤️ you Accent rocks my world
Old blood, I’m Australian you see and the Irish sound in your voice touches somthing so deep in my soul like my forefathers are calling me home
yes 100% agree
Celtica Australis 🍀🇦🇺
Awesome is the only to describe it...Janet has sung it the way it was...close to 50 years and still so strong...
Your voice is astonishing!!!!! You are an earthly angel... sent to us..... please don’t let the music industry change you, continue to be that shining star that you are✨🌟 ✨🌟✨simply BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!
I'm speechless after hearing this version. It's so beautiful.
This is a masterpiece. Your voice is incredible. Happy 50th anniversary to The who's most popular album #THEWHO-WHOSNEXT
… a voice from another world. Can’t stop listening.
Your voice is so pure and gentle. It’s so original. May all your desires be fulfilled except for one, so you’ll always have something to strive for.
She has the perfect voice to make this song both beautiful and unique. Would not work for every song but with this song the fact she didnt just cover but made it her own, a little like the Laura crowe cover of SOAD - Areials.
I like this version. Has sad emotions to it. Does the song justice. Has feelings
the simplicity of her voice is what makes it so special
I didn't think twice to subscribe this angelic voice.... Her voice is so powerful.... I am in love now 🥰🥰🥰
You are my favorite singer now. There’s something in your voice, your tone quality, your phrasing I don’t know, it seems the music remembers what I don’t. You are amazing. Very few singers elicit this emotional response.
One of my all time favorite songs and you understood every word so well.
A beautiful, haunting rendition of this WHO classic.
Holy hell... the vocal talent, the beauty with which she sings it, the lack of song-ruining vocal acrobatics. The everything else. (edit) My ears thank you so
she is without a doubt one of gods most beautiful creations!
You're too kind!🙏🏻
She could sing the telephone book and sound divine
One of the most beautiful voices going, really is a joy to listen to - doesnt matter what song.
You meet people 50% or more with the love you give, you deserve that much or more back!! Carry that Celtic cross high!! You are the perfect example of what pure Irish beauty and kindness is!! I and we wish you only good health.!
OMG insanely incredible voice...gave me goosebumps!!
Beautiful cover. Well done Janet.
Thank you!
Janet is truly a star that transcends era's. I wish her all the happiness in the world.
Of course having blue eyes, I kinda can relate. Not to mention this song being from my era. Epic and overall good prevailing in the end
so, i thought no one else even listens to songs like this, but here is someone singing it :D i am happy
yay!
Janet Devlin ☺️
still one song that chills me to the bone
❤️🙏🏻
Your gift is to be able to sing any song and make it as if it's the first time that I have heard it. Your clarity and richness enhances the lyrics and the story of any song you sing. I have never commented on an artist in my life, but I hope you realize how much of gift you have received and that you find your place in this crazy world.
Well, Jenet it is an awesome song and your voice was a perfect match to the way this version should sound. Thank you for who you are and your Talent.
Oh.. My god Janet!! Beautiful cover! This is perfection..😍 xx
+Olen Olematta Ystäväsi :) Glad you like it!
+Janet Devlin
Oh I LOVE it..
This cover will be the only thing I'll be listening to, atleast till the next saturday..😜
+Janet Devlin ur pretty
Not that you need my approval, but you have one of the most beautiful, unique voices that I've ever heard. You're incredible.
Thanks Jason

Absolutely love what Janet does..
Just love Janet Develin singing ,wonderful voice .
I just close my eyes and floats away
I have been a fan of the Who for many many years. This cover , in my humble opinion, is the best I have heard. I felt the song thru your voice very powerful and hypnotic at the same time. All that from such a light and beautiful voice. I truly hope you never give up on your dream, such a beautiful voice and a beautiful woman. I wish you only success and happiness.
When my fist clenches, crack it open
Before I use it and lose my cool
When I smile, tell me some bad news
Before I laugh and act like a fool
And if I swallow anything evil
Put your finger down my throat
And if I shiver, please give me a blanket
Keep me warm, let me wear your coat
Without this its a Limp Biskit cover not a Who cover imo
good version though
I agree. I have listened to the Who since late 60s. This is the purest cover yet. I am deeply moved and wish the Who's version could have been more like this one because I believe it was wrecked once the full band comes in after the solo intro.
Thanks for doing this cover. I bid you peace.
Meh, u say that cus shes hot. I thought it lacked emotion. Pete hid his sexuality because he would have been a pariah. I doubt this girl has ever been told "no" in her entire, short, little life. No offense, but pretty people, especially, young, advantaged women, not only have people lining up to open doors for them, they dont even know the doors exist. Not saying its wrong, just that its been empirically proven.
Janet, salute your spirit for being so inspirational. Stay Strong,healthy and just be yourself.Let the Time prove that you are one of the most soulful vocalist of the 21st Century to have ever lived.
My god soo beautiful, my husband is ex Australian SASR soldier and he cried while listening to this song. You are soo good. Xoxo
Been following you since your audition year's ago, so glad that over the years you've stuck to singing how you want to sing and not conforming to what's popular, you have a very soothing singing voice.
How can there be something this beautiful in the world ?
Such a great voice. So much texture and soul in her voice without effort. Precise articulation. She deserves to be world famous in my opinion.
Wow....wow...& Wow....
What an innocent beautiful voice.
👏👏👏👏👏👏😍😍😍😍😍
So full of feeling. I love this rendition of this song
thank you so much! 😊 ❤️
Absolutely Wonderful !!! Miss Janet: You have made me happy every day for awhile now. I thank you for sharing your talent and beauty with us. It really means a lot.
Thank you from the Southwest

Well young lady, great to see the younger generation carrying on the tunes from Old School, you are great, really great. Thank you from a die-hard WHO fan.
A pure pleasure to listen to you, thank you!
Beautifully done Janet, as always! One of my bands is on tour with The Who right now. Tempted to send them this!
you should
+Heather Eckhardt already done it!
This needs more views. Talk about falling in love with actual talent.
PURE!
Always loved her voice.
wow. The simplicity makes it so much more powerful! Bravo.
Thank you 💕
Just adore your voice 😍 setting on my sailboat in the Bahamas listing to the magic spells you weave.....
Still love the accent when you sing, its strong and angelic and relaxing all at the same time..
The cover I needed so much, so much emotion, it's beautiful Janet
Oh my janet. This song makes my eyes teary, this is the favorite song of my best friend who is already in heaven. ;((
every note,...precious!!! JUST BOOTIFUL!!!
I have listened to this a zillion times. I absolutely love when you allow your accent and language in your songs. It makes them different and magical.
Hi Janet you have a Beautiful voice and it is so nice to see young people who know real Classics .. The Who is one of the greatest bands ever and i love your rendition of this .. God Bless !
Didn’t think I’d like a cover of this so much. Great arrangement. Love your vocals!
Janet's voice is so different but so
suits this Who cover !!?
Works for me. Good rendition too, imo...
This is the planet best performance by Janet. Awesome emotions given by you.
Just "WOW!" One of the most unique and amazing voices, that I've ever heard. I'm a fan!!!
Why on earth would anyone give this a thumbs down? She's lovely, sings beautifully, and it all comes straight from her heart. Geeze people, give the world a break.
It sounds beautiful (though personally I like a tiny bit of sliding on the notes rather than each being perfectly tuned). I miss the middle section though, for me emotionally that's the heart of the song. And if I shiver, please give me a blanket / Keep me warm, let me wear your coat. Missing that, and putting in another verse, was for me the worst crime of the Limp Bizkit version. But to each his / her own :)
It's the Limp Bizkit version ,that's why. I'm pissed off. What a let down NOT to hear the great lyrics in the middle section. It's extra special when a Female sings it.
Batt Mann her voice is like the wind through the trees. Very soothing
exactly agree
Batt Mann, Because they're aholes
Wow the most beautiful rendition I have ever heard
What a lovely stable voice she has. Wonderful rendition.
I can stay all my life listening to your voice
I love how you dont try and hide your accent when you sing. Reminds me of the late great and gone way too soon, Delores ;(
Great rendition of a wonderful song.
Beautiful voice, no tricks , no screaming as high and as long as she can . Just pure class beyond mere beauty. Its all in your hands now Janet forget the past demons they're gone x
My second favorite cover you have done. I can listen to this over and over, its very touching. You have such a unique voice and style, even though I've heard this song a million times you have brought a tear to my eye. Your music touches the soul and everything feels so real when I hear you sing. Kinda like that one star in a starry night that you look for not because its the brightest but its the one that reminds you that you are looking into the heavens, and every thing is wonderful. You miss it when its gone.. thank God for You Tube. Thank you for being you. Don't ever stop singing.
Ok, I do not like anyone fooling with the Who. I grew up on them. But you are the exception. Beautiful.
Thank you so much Ron!!
Fabulous voice, perfect pronunciation. You can understand every word. She kills it !
Good gawd her voice still kills me love everything she's ever done
I'm about to cry man tears... holy crap...
I've never heard that version before....…………...WOW loved it.
Legit listen to you to fall asleep. I have insomnia, no medicine really helps me. It just leaves me feeling drugged, you're voice knocks me TF out. I thank you.
Glad to hear I can help! Hopefully its in a soothing way and not a boring way lol
Wow!! Her voice is incredible.
You are beautiful inside and out! Your beautiful Irish voice is a gift to us all!!!!! Thank you. If you lived in my town I'd be trying to be your man!!
wow my heart stand still and get cold for a fiew minutes. This is awsome!
Wow just wow someone with a real voice and who is singing from their heart. I wish I could me you to tell you in real life. Keep going for you are just amazing
All I can say is just WOW. So beautiful.
Such "true feelings" you have Janet. Your voice. Words cannot describe. At the end, you are just a Child. "May God stay close to you forever. Amen." Thank-you for sharing.
