Vocalist react to Eva Cassidy - Somewhere Over The Rainbow (Cover) 

Beatiful voice and true artist. Everyone of her songs is beautiful. Thank you for your reaction

She sings this with such a longing, yearning in her voice. This is how this song should be sung.

Eva Cassidy is.natural. She knows how to sing the words, to her it's like an artist painting. Gifts from God to a humble woman. God blessing.

Eva Cassidy was incredible such a great talent it's such a shame she died so young. Some other Eva Cassidy songs I can recommend are Fields Of Gold, Time After Time, Danny Boy, autumn leaves, Songbird.

Probably one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard .

Her phrasing is a word is what everyone is trying to convey.

If you want to shed a tear. Listen to her sing Danny Boy. I believe she died within a year of this recording from cancer. She said this was not her best because she had a cold.She was basically unknown unitl she died. A radio station happened to play this in England. They received thousands of calls. From there she took off. Selling millions of albums. But of course she never new this.

Rofer, It's a shame you lost the stream this morning, but thank you for doing a reaction to Eva Cassidy. I told you that in my opinion, this was the best version of Over the Rainbow ever recorded, and to have tissues ready. This was recorded less than a year before she died. You were trying to describe her voice, and I have described it as a crystal clear deep lake where you can see right down to the bottom. It's the best imagery I could come up with. It's not just the voice but the emotion and passion, and you can see it on her face. Following this reaction, I mentioned that coincidentally, both Angelina Jordan and Eva Cassidy did independent recordings of Sting's Fields of Gold at different times of course. A super fan did a mashup about a year ago of both of them singing Fields of Gold in a virtual duet! That is the one you should react to if you choose. Thanks for all you do. Peace and love.

You should check out her version of autumn leaves. It's amazingly sad and beautiful

There are 2 artists for me that have the artistry to take a classic and reinvent it completely, the new version becoming the new reference. Eva Cassidy and Lara Fabian. Very differently but both have this soothing, full, warm but crystal clear voice that you can connect to Karen Carpenter and Barbra Streisand indeed. Eva has totally reinterpreted some classics: Over the Rainbow, but also Fields of Gold, Autumn Leaves, Time after Time, Bridge over Troubled Water, SongBird, … Since she was rediscovered thru a BBC show, a few years after her death, she became a reference on these. And for instance Angelina Jordan sang Fields of Golds using the version created by Eva. As for Lara, she is Dimash’s absolute idol due to her emotions conveying skills and puts her footprint on almost all covers she is making: Je suis malade, Caruso, Perdere l’Amore, Love by Grace, Calling You,… But Lara is also an amazing songwriter in 4 languages and you probsbly know one of the song she wrote at least, as it was covered by the greatests from your country. The song is called Broken Vow and was covered by Sarah Geronimo, Regine Velasquez, Julie Anne San Jose, Morissette Amon, Almira (4th Impact), … It was also covered by Barbra Streisand, Josh Groban, Cakra Khan, Rimar, Jackie Evancho, … You can check this one here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kJBGCI8aSE4.html I subscribed hoping you to continue the journey in Eva’s catalog and explore the immense catalog of Lara

She sings the first half literally like the lullaby the lyrics mention. The last was so very special. “Fields Of Gold” next :-) ✌🏻

Thanks Bud. This is one of my absolute favorite performances by any singer ever. Only Angelina's latest rendition of "My Funny Valentine" tops it for me I think 🙂 Love from Norway ♥♥♥♥♥

Rest in sweet peace, Eva. Thank you for what you gave us!

Perfection 👌❤️

Eva had a cold this night, too.

She is an angel

Check out her version of "Wonderful World".

Great choice Rofer....this song cannot and probably will not ever be sung as beautiful as Eva's version may she RIP. Big Angie Fans mash up of Eva and Angelina singing Sting's "Fields of Gold" is quite stunning if you have not listened to it. Two golden voices for the Ages together in one video. Cheers, stay well. A lot of chatter over the video my man😋😋

Check out Eva Cassidy Blues in the Night.

of course you are correct there is no better version you were rarely speechless

Bet you can’t listen to it just once!!! ❤

She sang the most beautiful version of the word the I ever heard.

Her voice is extraordinary. If you want to hear a different side of Eva, try Blues In The Night. She had such a range, and sang in different styles, making each song all her own. If I could suggest: If you're going to say more than a word or two, consider pausing the video. That way you're not talking over the it, and neither you nor the listener will miss parts of the song. Just a suggestion. ❤ Thanks for reacting to Eva!

The word “the”.

Dude, you're a good reactor but showing us your forearms while she was singing, isn't good. I don't like excessive pausing but you would've done better to pause befoe making so many comments. Instead, you talked over her. She didn't deserve that.

Nope
