    Any person who has the least experience in music specifically when it comes to singing would praise this act. Like mentioned below, Midge sings with HIS voice deciding against the falsetto for more originality and not just COPY a performance from Mr. Styles. Kudos to Mr. Ure for this presentation. He did an amazing job.

    Anyone over 50 understands what Midge brings to this song, a melancholy that Harry or his younger fans could ever understand. Its an amazing song and we should all be thankful that its part of our lives - but its a result of six song writers so please don't patronise Midge about singing a song that five people wrote for Harry.

      they didn’t write it for harry. harry has always written with his close friends in that group. that’s how he likes to make his records. i think you’re discrediting harry a little bit. he’s received so much praise from the older musicians like, Stevie Nicks, Mick Fleetwood, Bon Jovi, Brian May, Bob Geldof, Joni Mitchell, Mick Jagger and many others. Harry is also friends with Midge. harry grew up on the old music and not the music you hear today. he’s an old soul. i’m sure he understands what midge brought to this song.
