I found this around 2015. My mom had an infarction stroke, and escalated her dementia. Her favorite color was purple. This guitar solo version, of one Prince's greatest hits. Is so full of passion and an energy. That I felt when I knew not too long, would be my mother passing. Great job, and really helped bring a song to the final chapter of my mom's extraordinary life.
Mocinha, que versão linda!! Fiquei muito orgulhosa de vê-la tocar com tanta maestria. Difícil aqui no Brasil, alguém da sua idade com tanto talento em relação ao nosso Mestre. Realmente uma Purple Girl!!
She is pretty and she plays Prince's Purple Rain song beautifully. Very funny all the envious and jealous comments on the Facebook post which brought me here. Those negative guys forget to enjoy Eva's pure talent! Another proof that you really can't please everybody but who cares? Go Eva!!! :)
haha, yeah sure she's got some talent.. but the thing with these kind of clips..what bothers me is the sexist nature of the expectations that people have of music.. every time a pretty girl posts a youtube clip of herself playing guitar or drums.. everyone goes bonkers over it.."oh how tallented she is.. AND she pretty also! my point is: if it would have been just audio or maybe an ugly old dude playing the same music, no one would care and it certainly would NOT get 43.000 views.. no there is nothing wrong with this girl posting a video of herself, and she does have talent.. but let's just keep things in perspective? the fact that she's pretty doesn't make her a great guitar player now does it?
I do not know how it is for others, but as for me, the audio only is awesome. I am passionate about encouraging people no matter how they look like. By the way, PSY ain't pretty in my opinion but he became the first RU-vid user to hit 1Bn views. I don't know how he did it (because his song sucks IMO) but PSY got the WOW factor with Gangam Style. If Eva's WOW factor is her prettiness, so be it. :)
Very, very good. But, even if I am not a musician I feel the chords are not like the original song. In the original they might have gone from more higher to lower chords. Like I said I am not a musician and don't know how to express this in musical terms. Anyways. It was impressing.
True to the original? It blows the original out of the water. Prince fans dislike it because they refuse to acknowledge that he was, at best, a mediocre guitarist.
The first time I heard this Purple Rain interpretation a few years back I was exalted. There is such a life force in it that touches you deep down in the very core of your soul... my hearth started trembling of joy and sorrow at the same time, and tears started running down my face...Its like you hear the birds singing and praising light and life at the break of down and you listen and stay amassed by the glory of the nature... This is the most LIVING piece of music I ever heard. Bless you and thank you for sharing Eva. If Prince was alive and heard it, you would play with him I am sure.
Prince would have smiled and wiggled a bit at that you did very well the pinches were very well placed and the true guitarist plays with feeling and when that's the case it's always effortless
Prince removed ANYTHING related to himself on RU-vid when he was alive. He didn't want his music or any covers being posted. He once famously struck down a Facebook post of a mothers infant child dancing to 20 seconds of Lets Go Crazy. I'm not saying he was right, but all these "he would be proud!" comments are very inaccurate lol. Even if he loved your cover he would get it removed. That's why there was nothing Prince related on RU-vid until he died
+44H44ful Poor you: far too undereducated to answer me in english as I can see. Your only 3 words of english were "is a bitch": yo pathetic! Now go on with your childish talk and wasting your time: I don't give a fuck of you, you're nothing but a shit to me.
+Raymors I already know his version for several years but it is more to me a guitar walk on Purple Rain song than something else. Here Eva Vergilova is far more close to the original song and this is why it sounds like an improvment or it and not a guy who is playing guitar over Purple Rain.
+Raymors I don't deny John Petrucci's talent but here for Purple Rain I far prefer the version of Eva because it sticks so close to the original song that it gives the impression that it could have been played by Prince himself: this is why for me this video is the best cover of Purple Rain I ever heardand I heard a ton since 1984 and especially as nowaday almost everyone is covering Purple Rain on TV reality shows.
+Bill Self Oh I get it you're one of those internet trolls that uses the same cliques they have no feel & I play the guitar so I know more than everyone else.
Yours is one of the channels that inspired me to finally purchase an electric guitar and start learning. It arrives in the mail today and I can't wait. Thank you.
I was actually looking for a vocal cover of this song for my daughter to learn. I came across this...AND I WAS BLOWN AWAY!!! Great Job! This is so impressive. Funny thing is my daughter also goes by Eva (Evangeline). Keep up the great work, you're a great talent!
I hate to get all serious, but whenever there's a girl playing guitar the comments always mention boobs or how hot she it. It's so fucking difficult for female musicians to be taken seriously online. This is incredible musicianship, regardless of what gender is playing it.
You can moralize about it all you want, and be a feminist if you want to, but what you (and feminism) are really arguing with is Nature and millions of years of evolution, and preaching about it isn't going to change that. Men are wired to be drawn to beautiful young women, that's why all of us are here, and she's not doing anything to downplay her incredible beauty and her tremendous sexual desirability here so I think she's OK with people appreciating it. I also don't think it's an "accident" that her right breast is resting nicely on the guitar where we can see it, but she shouldn't have to hide herself either so I'm OK with that. I seriously doubt that she minds the 2 million+ views she's gotten (so far) for a video in which, as talented as she is, she probably wouldn't have gotten more than 100,000 views without showing her body (and breast) on the thumbnail... so I think you're more upset about it than she is. As for her musicianship I totally agree with you, she's not only extremely beautiful, graceful, and sexually attractive (and her face is the kind of beauty men would die for, and already have), she's incredibly talented. Get over your moral superiority/White Knighting trip and understand that people have a right to watch any video they want to for whatever reason they choose, including the fact that we like looking at extremely beautiful women AND listening to good music. There's nothing wrong with that, as long as people aren't disrespectful about it, there's a difference between insulting her and expressing our appreciation for her beauty. Frankly I (and millions of other guys) would not want to @#$% her, I'd like to make love to her for hours because I love her spirit, her beauty, her humility, and her feel for the music. If I had the opportunity to father her children, I'd do that also, and not just because she's "hot", but because she stirs my soul, and her awesome genes and mine would make beautiful children. Just being honest about it... I'm not exactly getting my hopes up though, LOL. I don't know her personality, so going on the spirit I feel from her after watching several of her videos, and the wholesome and honest beauty I feel from her that makes me want to cherish her, protect her, and make love to her. Of course men like me have suffered throughout history over women like this, so hopefully you have some sympathy for those of us who see her as more than a piece of meat but an incredibly beautiful woman. It hurts my heart to look at her too long, actually... and other parts of my body feel it also. :O/ This is one of the most powerful drives in all of Nature (probably second only to survival-though some people risk their lives for sex also), so it's not going to change anytime soon... you might as well get used to it. Don't worry though, women who film multiple videos of themselves and post them on RU-vid are probably not going to be shattered by a few juvenile comments, she's been getting them since she was 13 I'm sure, and probably used to it by now. I also wonder if she's Muslim, or Christian, or what her background is, since it looks like she's in Turkey, and she has a modesty about her that feminists and more "liberated" western women (ie, hoes and masculine women) lack. She has to know that she's beautiful at this point, but that reserve, humility, and feminine grace and receptivity is deeply attractive to men (as opposed to feminists trying to act like men and be more "masculine" than men are IMO). We're dealing with powerful forces here... including the fact that beautiful young women of reproductive age have a built-in need and desire to be seen and procreate (as soon as they start ovulating), which is why you see so many attractive (and not-so-attractive) women taking selfies and posting videos of themselves on RU-vid-it's a deeply-rooted instinct to attract men when they're ovulating, whether they realize they're doing it or not. Don't be so hard on men for noticing, we're made that way. This woman is beyond beautiful, she's absolutely gorgeous, and I need to stop talking about her and go watch someone else's videos before I become obsessed with her. LOL
