    this whole 'series' on billboard is basically a variety of artists singing popular songs and singing them in their own style. this is beautiful.

    I never really got the meaning of this song, until I listened to this version.
    I always related diva-like attitude to it because of beyonce. Now, I get the full meaning to it.

      A lot of people complain about covers being unoriginal, like "oh this artist is too lazy to write their own song." Or they're offended when a cover changes the mood and meaning from the original song. I think reimaginations, whether they're better than, worse, or just different from the original, always make me appreciate every version of the song more. Each new version and performance draws my attention to something different. Music is so awesome :)

    • @tachibanana2999
      @tachibanana2999 Před 8 lety +13

      bryant ward This is one of her only exceptions. All of her own songs (in her albums, singles, EPs, not this special performance) are either written by herself or with someone.

    • @JohannaAFlorez
      @JohannaAFlorez Před 8 lety +19

      +bryant ward It takes a true talent to not notice that Sara has dozens of original songs- not even songs presented to her by producers before they got to anyone else, but songs she personally wrote. And, I don't know why it's so hard for so many people to fathom, but there is a great measure of originality in taking lyrics and a tune that already exist and re-imagining them in a completely different style.
      So Sara sometimes sings songs that were sung by someone else first. Obviously then she must have an awful voice and no talent. #clearly

    • @b.l.w.2136
      @b.l.w.2136 Před 8 lety +1

      Johanna A. Florez what?! First it don't take a great measure of originality to re-imagining a song. Tons of artists do it and they aren't nothing special sometimes they are horrible. #clearly you don't listen to a lot of music people do it time and time again. she has a wander full voice. That's not the issue, rather or not she had original songs is not the issue, this song choice and the style was the issue. #comeon!

  • @JeremyGalloway

    I love to see when artists take a song and interpret it their own way, rather than trying to sing like someone else. Sara does this beautifully, and now I can actually make out all of the words in the song. It's easy to tell that she puts her heart and soul into every performance - Sara never disappoints!

  • @xariah2546

  • @billbrandine5857

    She could sing almost anything and make it sound good, from Elton John to Beyoncé. Amazing performer. These are my Greatest Female singer/song writer/performers of all time - who wrote tons of their own hits, sung them, and accompanied themselves on piano. ...50's/60/70's' Carole King, 60's/70, Laura Nyro, 70's/80's/90's Carly Simon, 2000's Sara Bareilles. That's rare company.

    I really appreciate it when artists interpret other songs in their own way. It shows that they have their own style and this sets them apart from everyone else. She put alot of heart into this song, and all her other songs. Being open minded and different than normal (aka weird) is what leads us to greatness. And Sara is great. Love her songs. Love her covers. Love how she paves her own path. She's a true role model.

    I'm not that kind of girl
    And your love is what I prefer, it's what I deserve
    Here's a man that takes me, and then makes me
    And delivers me to a destiny, to infinity and beyond

When I hear this, it's like her song, not remind me of Beyonce. Beyonce and Sara both are good. But if I had to choose, I would prefer Sara because I play piano too while singing. Just like her. I'm not singing with dancing like Beyonce. And this is just about choice :)

    I love your take on it! different, but very great in your style. not sure why ppl are not into change, but they dislike your videos knowing your style.

    I'd argue Sara is one of the most talented women in the music industry these days. She has a killer voice, but she also has the capacity to take any song and make it her own in a way.

    I just think Sara is the cats meow! Since I've been listening and watching out for her awesome videos I have found a inner peace of mind ! Just knowing that she's singing her heart out totally holds me in a spell or something! Girl Crush to the highest power!

    So refreshing to see an artist whose recorded AND live albums sound excatly the same. Pure love for Sara Bareilles.
