Kurt, I know you'll never read this... But this goes to everyone. I had a brain bleed back in '13, and I got paralyzed on the whole right side of my body. I used to be a very good pianist before all of this happened. The last song I was playing Fantasie Impromtu Opus 64. Anyways, when I see you play, tears well up in my eyes. There is still a chance for me to recover, but it won't be quick... Although tears are trickling down my face (lol). You inspire me to push myself everyday, and every time I have a chance. Thanks Kurt 😃 You really do change peoples lives , one note at a time.
This comment made me cry, and it is not even me you are talking to. There are tears pouring off my face right now, literally. I hope and pray Kurt does see this. He needs to know how much he inspires you. I pray to God that you recover as quickly as possible.
It's times like this when people don't realise how lucky they are to be doing what seems like an everyday task. I have a lot of respect for you, I hope you recover quickly and get right back up to that piano! You are a strong, beautiful girl and good luck for the future. 💞
Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful. I just shaved my legs and got goosebumps so bad that my hair started growing back. When a singer has that effect on me, I know it's good.
I don't get why people say her singing isn't very emotional, considering that it's just a cover, I think her voice suits this beautiful. Also her transitions from chest voice to falsetto are so pretty 😋
She’s got an amazing voice Iove her soo soo much been following her for quite a while 😍😍🤍🤍 but this song its just that powerful when singing with emotion, it becomes a so powerful song with you’re feeling it, if that makes sense
I could listen to her for centuries. She's so gentle. Her high notes gently flow into your ears and intoxicate your brain. She's so gentle yet intense. I am in awe. She is absolutely phenomenal. Her voice is so arresting. It draws you in and surrounds you with a feeling a peacefulness and comfort. Simply astounding.
Every time I listen to this song, it still amazes me how much emotion is portrayed in her voice. The song has a message. Now everyone’s interpretation will be different based on their circumstances, living situations, family etc. But this song hits home for me especially since I am beginning to loose my grandma and my family and I don’t know how much time we have left. Elastic heart just reminds me to be grateful of the time I am spending with her and not to take anything for granted. As you never know when your time will come or anyone else’s. So enjoy spending time with your loved ones and say “ I love you” because you may never know when that’ll be yours or their last “I love you”’!!
Haven't commented in awhile...but wow, this was great. Her voice is so easy to listen to and the piano melody really allowed me to appreciate this song more than the original. Probably your best collaboration so far this year!
can we just stop for a moment and admire Kurt playing. It just doesn't stop me from being amazed every second that when ever he plays, especially the piano, it is too beautiful.
I remember I had commented on the MV of this song and I said,"Madilyn Bailey can do a cover for this." Cause I think she fits it. Now I see it sure enough😊🙌 Really fits as what I thought. And Kurt is in it as well...Nice.👍
I just can’t get over Madilyn’s voice. It really goes well with the piano in every song she has ever and will ever sing. This is one of those songs that is meant to be powerful and somber and I feel like her voice matches the theme of this song😊
This is a great cover, loved it for real, Madilyn is great as always! And Kurt is awesome too (: Hope to like them one day, I'm a musician too and I would love to have your support (:
And another one bites the dust Oh why can I not conquer love? And I might have thought that we were one Wanted to fight this war without weapons And I wanted it, I wanted it bad But there were so many red flags Now another one bites the dust Yeah, let's be clear, I'll trust no one You did not break me I'm still fighting for peace Well, I've got thick skin and an elastic heart, But your blade it might be too sharp I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard, And i may snap and I move fast But you won't see me fall apart 'Cause I've got an elastic heart I've got an elastic heart Yeah, I've got an elastic heart And I will stay up through the night Let's be clear, won't close my eyes And I know that I can survive I'll walk through fire to save my life And I want it, I want my life so bad I'm doing everything I can Then another one bites the dust It's hard to lose a chosen one You did not break me I'm still fighting for peace Well, I've got thick skin and an elastic heart, But your blade it might be too sharp I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard, And i may snap and I move fast But you won't see me fall apart 'Cause I've got an elastic heart I've got an elastic heart
oh mein Gott, was für eine unglaubliche Stimme!!!! Ich könnte Euch beiden stundenlang zuhören!!!! Das ist Gefühl PUR!!!!!! Ich wünschte es gäbe mehr solche Künstler wie Euch!!! Bin auf jeden Fall Fan!!!!
This gave me chills! So good! Kurt, you should totally release sheet music or instrumentals to these gorgeous acoustic piano arrangements you do. I would totally buy them!
" Let's be clear I trust no one" *"It's hard to lose a chosen one" I walked through fire to save my life" You did not break me, I'm still fighting for peace" 👍♥️🙏🇺🇸
This seriously makes me feel so many emotions all at once. Her voice is perfect for this song. I could listen to this on repeat for hours. love love love.
I honestly like this version better than Sia's. Not saying Sia's is bad. I just like this one better. It's more fluid and classic. This very version was used in my dance recital.
Honestly that's ur opinion but I think that her voice sounds like every other singers but in SIA's songs u can hear her voice break but she can still make it work it's unique that just my opinion
it's not just that her voice breaks, it's what it *means* when her voice breaks. it's *why* her voice breaks that makes her performance of her own music better than anyone else. Because for everyone else, the *why* is "that's what Sia does" or "that's what it says on the notes" or "it just sounds good" or whatever. For Sia, it's because of what the song means to her. Music written by someone else never has the same impact.
completely agree, not that Madilyn isn't unique in her own way, but she has the feminine tone to her voice, where as sia drags her vocals through hell with the emotional raspiness, I'm sorry but no one can beat Sia when it comes to vocals like that.
This Seiler piano sounds bright, and deep in basses, beautiful . Great collab . She is so professional and goes beyond her great potencial , worthy , really worthy.
The more i listen to this..the more i apericiate the singer and the music composition..i loved the original but, this is so well put together, gives me goose bumps liseining to Madilyn's voice..great job

This is one of them times where a cover is as good as the original. This is why I like RU-vid you get to see the talent that's out there. That's untouched by the industry.
She is very good but i must say I prefer Sia's. They are very different and You can't judge her on how well she can sing Sia's song cause you can't sing Sia's song better than Sia. This is very good and if you prefer this style, this version will seem better to you. But for me, personally, it's the little things, like Sia's unique accent, and the way she throws her soul into the chorus that make me love hers more. This soft, soulful kind of singing would sound better in my opinion with a song like Safe and Sound. Still amazing, though. :^)
People need to stop commenting bout how they say the voice is really good, but sia's is better because she displays emotion, like stfu. Both are good, if you prefer one or the other more that's fuckin great, but ya'll seriously need to stop with your fucking bullshit about emotions ok. IT'S JUST A SONG ! and I'm not dumb I KNOW that Sia displays certain emotions behind each of her songs but if that's how you really feel, then why the fuck are you listening to a different cover since obviously Sia is the only one that can show true emotion behind HER songs. Like it's just music, no need to start going in so deep and looking for all these emotions. Either you give the singer a positive comment or constructive criticism, not this crap about showing feelings, seriously.
Ashley Aguirre How am I being a hater when that is literally the only thing people are commenting. imagine if you were making a cover and your voice was very beautiful but instead of either telling you if it was good or giving constructive criticism,all they said was that you need to show more emotion. Like wtf ? emotion in music is VERY GOOD but that does not mean a cover like this should have to be viewed the way it is simply cuz "there is no emotion" like i can even hear the fucking emotion in her voice
I'm in two minds about this cover. I admit it is good but there's something in her voice that I think just doesn't fit this song. Think her voice is too soft for it, this song needs to be raw. But other than that I think it's a good cover ^.^
Yah I totally agree with all you guys:) it's something unique about sia's voice. I noticed sia's voice is a little more like cracky( in a good way) when she sings very powerfully. Like in chandelier or elastic heart.
She is really good at singing. If you look at her channel you will see old videos where it is just her and the camera. But this is obviously very edited also. :)
I have been following her for years. She does sound like that. This recording of course has been mixed because it's probably up for purchase on itunes - must sell quality. But she has mastered vocal techniques switching in and out of falseto seamlessly like that and integrating such outstanding crescendo-ing high notes with vibrato. Its safe to say there is no studio that can create that. All a studio can do is provide pitch correction, reverb, and other coloring instruments that improve the quality of the recording and notes being hit.
I've heard her live, and I can truly say that she sounds exactly like this. She's very talented, and I was blown away when I heard her sing not even fifteen feet from me.
+Ryder R Right,i thought i was the only one not understanding what the fuck is sia saying in her video😂😂the only thing i understood was elastic heart😂😂😂
I love this cover, but as everyone else said, Sia's had all the emotion ;u; I legit started crying and then my mom came in and looked at me like I was a creep -3-
